The wheel of fortune

So this weekend has been a rater eventful one with it being close to payday and all. But perhaps more eventful than I bargained for. Friday… ahhh who cares what happened on Friday lets just skip to the jucy parts shall we.

Well Saturday we decided to go out for a quick drink. Well a quick drink turned into us getting home at 2 in the morning. Anyway Dave was really trashed and saw this huge fugly guy talking to this girl so he drags me over there once the mofo is gone to ask if that guy is bugging her coz he seems like a real prick… Only to learn that that pricky guy is her boyfriend… This was possibly the only reason we whent home so early in the first place. Was probably a good idea as I had packed away 12 Red square enegisers, 2 jagabombs and a few tequila’s and had more energy in me than the duracel bunny.

Anyway on the way home I was proposed to yup in the car… So romantic… I of course thought this was a good idea at the time, hence caffeine helping you do stupid things faster. When the bf went down on one knee to ask as I got out of the car I ended up falling over him. Which I supposed served its purpose as I discovered we have a major ant problem infesting its self in the cracks of our drive way. The bf of course managed to tell the entire world in his drunken state and the next morning left me with a little more than a hangover. I balled my eyes out when I woke up and had to get mac Donalds to feel better. So that all of you know, I do want to be engaged to my wonderful bf, but I am big into firsts and that was not how I expected it.

Well my entire family knows and I am worried about suffering from a case of “you look like a monumental idiot!”. So the bf goes well then we are. Now this is confusing how can we be engaged to my family and not to his it makes no sense what-so-ever! So now neither of us know exactly what we are. Which leaves us on short sentences and one syllable answers.

I have however decided to ignore the subject completely and see what happens. I will pretend that nothing happened for as long as possible even if it kills me. But I think that not really knowing what is going on in our relationship is the worst.

Last night everything seemed comfortable between us at least. We went to his mom’s house and it all felt comfortable between us again even this morning it all seemed fine. I have also come to the conclusion that we have a sock and stocking monster lurking in our yard he occasionally likes to eat me new clothes too… As everytime I was anything half of it is missing but the bf’s sister knows nothing about it until she wears them 2 weeks later oh well.

My romantic Weekend getaway

Somehow the bf’s sis managed to convince me that it “would be nice” if we meaning me, the bf and the rest of the squatters go on holiday together. I like to think I agreed because I wanted to build the relationships within our humble abode, but I realize now that the more likely reason was that I am just phenomenally stupid. Especially considering the sponger (the sister’s bf) would be joining us). For those of you who don’t know me and the referred to sponger are the best of friends… Okay I am lying but as mentioned before he has no job or any drive to ever find one for that matter.

Mere minutes after we arrived at the fabulous Mamagalie lodge , I began to get an inkling of precisely how tooth-grindingly long the week would be. We had just finished unpacking my vastly overloaded bakkie when the sponge started complaining about everything imaginable. He is of course a professional complainer which is probably part of the reason that he can’t find a job to save his pathetic little life.

Now me and the sponge can take each other in small doses but actually having to spend an entire weekend communicating is something that was just not gonna happen. Especially with the bf around who possibly resents the little rat more than I do. And of course the complaints seem never ending when one is trying to relax.

However all parties concerned I think it turned out to be a fairly good holiday what with the blunders and all. I am assuming that you want to read about the memorable events on the trip and I promise not to complain to much in this part however if you prefer the complaining bitch skip to the end of the blog.

Firstly the accommodation was absolutely beautiful and the bedrooms stunning. Bedrooms that were apparently off bounds this weekend as we had zip, zero, nada, nil, privacy what-so-ever… Even with the romantic for postar red satin bed… We did however take advantage of it even with all the interruptions. Every single time for those of you who really want to know. The sister and the bf were apparently too scared to mess up the beautiful bedding… You’re in the middle of the mountains in a luxurious four star log cabin for Christ’s sake who cares about the bedding! But maybe I am just a non-caring bitch.

Anyway we did manage to scare the shit out of the sponge with a cleverly devised prank that left him screaming like a banshee whilst hopping from foot to foot. The sight was absolutely hilarious and I am deeply disappointed that I did not have the camera in place to film the event. In a nutshell the bf hid under a bed that was in front of their door he scratched on the door whilst I kept them occupied thinking that he (the bf) was with me. When the sister sent her whimpering (no kidding) bf to check what was going on my bf grabbed his leg which produced the above mentioned leprechaun effect.

Then there was the 3 hour hike into nowhere. We were trying to go to the lodges advertised rock pools but to get there is supposedly an hours hike but after being lost in the wilderness for about 2 hours and following the correct trail for an hour, through a maze of dangerous arachnids and the like, we decided to head back to the lodge. As a side note the trip back took us about 30 min, probably as we just wanted to get away from the gigantic spiders.

Once back at the lodge someone had the brilliant idea of horse riding, unfortunately I believe it was me. So we phoned the owner of the lodge, who said it was about 7kms away. Now I donno what he was smoking but I would chew my own arm off if that was 7kms it took us an hours drive before we pulled into a farm which looked like something out of the hills have eyes. We then waited an hour before the ranch hand arrived to take us on a trail.

Now this was an experience that I am never going to forget. We all mounted the horses and it was time to hit the trail. Being somewhat nervous I decided to stay at the back of the group. Bad idea. The sisters bf had no clue how to ride a horse. After about 20min of tip toeing behind him I’d had enough and overtook… Now he is absolutely terrified of chickens. I know you’re laughing… But we all have our phobia’s… Anyway the trail we were following lead us straight through a pack of them… And me being the generous person I am slowed down so the sisters bf could keep up… LOL! In other words I nearly came to a standstill to watch the sponge squirm and shriek for a while longer amongst the chickens. I know I am evil but I am female so it is genetically programmed into me.

I caught up to the rest of the group and after about 15 min was asked to check where he was. Now proof that horses can be evil too. The sponge’s horse had decided to walk about 15m off the trail into the middle of a chicken pen whilst walking the above said sponge into every tree he could possibly find. Now for proof that I am not too evil I went to go fetch the evil horse and drag him out of the pen.

Anyway all in all it was actually a great holiday. And the drive back was somewhat pleasurable with a stop in Harties. To stretch the legs and refill our stomach’s we made it back home unscathed.

Wacky Wedensday

Well things are starting to look up and I can't wait for our upcoming holiday!! I have finally managed to secure a poition on the cricket team... The bf seems happy coz he knows I can actually catch a ball and I can run faster than the other 80kg something girls so it is looking good.

We aree going to Magaliesburg on Friday for a holiday. And I can't wait!! South Africa is not living up to its reputation o being sunny and hot lately as I am freezing my behind off!! But it is generally going well... I am starting car hunting and it should be good fun I can't wait to actually own something of my own...

Anyway I will keep you posted

Pain

So action cricket on Friday was okay... Probably better than usua coz I just got trashed... And then decided to play action soccer with Tash... 30min 1 on1 may seem like a good idea when u've had a bit much to drink but believe me I have been in agony ever since and my calves are still throbbing... Sat was as boring as ever and if I ever need to play another 1st person shooter game it will be too soon!

Yesterday was filled with the usual politics with Al arguing from the moment we got home without us saying a word. But atleast the majority of the day with my mom was not bad.

3 days till holiday I can't wait.

Friday the 13th

Don't you just love how there's this stigma around Friday the 13th. The one that inevitably causes you to have a bad day no matter how much u don't believe in Friday the 13th. Yeah well shit happens right. So as you guys can imagine my day has been absolutely brilliant... Not. So I guess you want to know what happened as it is always great to hear how some1 else is having a worse day...

Well it started yesterday when the bf had to bring up how stupid it was that I am upset about this whole cricket thing... Which every1 at first agreed with him which is to be expected when his version of the story is Mags is pissed at me for playing cricket. When the real version of the story is Mags is pissed at me for playing couples cricket with some blonde slut! Once I explained that the tables soon turned well his sister and his dad agree with me the sisters bf doesn't but he doesn't pay rent so he is not entiteled to an opinion. So we have been ignoring each other since and now are eventually trying to sort it out well atleast I am.  But he is convinced that it isn't a problem so it isn't a problem.  Well I have decided to pretend that every person on the team has a Y chromosone and that noone with a Y chromosone has their gf on the team... Somehow I think this is gonna be more difficult than I allow credit for.

Then of course we have the usual nagging clients which seem to be more bitchy than usual today. For example they send me an A5 advert and want everything on the advert on an animated gif that is industry standard size of 140x140 pixels and is no more than 11Kb... I resized the original advert to 140x140 pixels and was very tempted to send it for approval but then I remembered that I actually do need my job and it is probably not a good idea... I would love to tho...

It is almost 11 and I am already in need of a staunch drink to calm my nerves... But atleast its Friday! I will let you know how the rest of the weekend pans out!

So today didn't turn out too badly the boss is at head office today and has promised to get an answer on when the next build to our website will be finished. Hopefully soon cause I donno how long the i donno question is going to work on the reps who are kinda starting to foam at the mouth and I am starting to worry about being ripped limb from limb. Plus I'm ment to be the so called "webmaster" so I now look like a complete idiot... and if the Reps get hold of me I will be an incomplete idiot as some parts of me will be missing.

Apparently my Facebook account has also started believing I am incapable of making decisions as it is now an Afrikaans Facebook... Last time I checked it was english.

Then there is of course the developing office sopie... In a nutshell a guy got a warning for sexual harrassment of another guy. Which the one who apparently lodged the complaint denies anyway and now they hate each other. I am just gonna stay right here in my corner and ignore it. The whole office has jumped on the band wagon and for some reason I'm thinking its a bad idea to get involved.

Tomorrow is friday the 13th again and after how last months Friday the 13th turned out I'm not sure I wanna relive another one so soon. And tomorrow I get to sit through another 2 hours of "couples" action cricket. I am so not amped...

So last night I had to sit through another 2 boring hours of watching the bf play couples action cricket. Yup u guessed it I am not in the team which wouldn't be so bad if the girls playing were better than me but they are like tice my size and 3 times as unfit... I smoke a pack a day so I am not like the fittest person on the planet but I can run 5 steps without dying. Oh and I don't jump and scream when a ball comes within veiw. The next game is on friday so Tazz has agreed to come with for moral support so in other words we are going to get pissed at the bar and make jokes about the dykes around there...

I did however get some consollation when their team lost by 130 runs... LOL!!! But hey what am I ment to do be happy about the situation. I mean Tazz wouldn't even support him if she was dating him. But I am not her I will just use it as ammo the next time I want something. We had drinks afterwards which was kinda cool...

Well I will let you know how it all turns out....
