Love letters & Poems

I am a romantic - a hopeless one!

Recently a young lad has taken an interest in me - he is 23 years old & we all know that I have a penchant for them young 'uns!

As Tee said: "You're like catnip to the young boys!"

I just had to laugh at that!!

So MrM sent me a poem the other day - yes, he wrote a poem for me!

Tell me this doesn't make you go Awww....

The day was long and work had been a nightmare, 
It had been so dismal and it all seemed unfair.
I got home and decided to go workout,
Not knowing that fate was lingering about.
I had been having a rough day and my outlook was severely dim, 
But all that changed for the better when I bumped into you at gym.
Never have I met a woman so unique,
Seeing you after you had trained your sexy physique.
I asked you for your BBM which is strange because I am shy, 
I never make a move on a lady, never even given it a try.
But I decided to go for it as if I was on a dare, 
For you see Flirty*, seeing you again had me walking on air.
Looking into those shining, bright, lucid eyes, 
Began to clear my personal cloudy skies.
Alhough in the crowded gym, I got lost in this world, 
Standing there with you my reality uncurled.
I heard nothing else at that moment but your gentle soft voice, 
I was completely lost and couldn’t escape, I had no choice.
It was mesmerising to be with someone that I had once knew, 
Especially in particular when that someone turned out to be you.

I used to be too shy to talk to you but now I battle to go without a day, 
Whenever I say goodnight my heart sinks knowing that you’re going away.
I feel comfortable chatting to you with whatever is on my mind, 
I lose myself and lose track of time.
That last never rhymed, no matter, so what?
You know this is a poem and have an idea of its plot.
I was undecided on writing a poem for someone who I had never before, 
Do I make it funny or romantic, something to leave you begging for more?
Now this poem was not put together all in one night, 
Every time I thought of a line, I put it in if it felt right.

I write poetry which I am glad in you I entrusted this to, 
Because ever since you knew, 
Inspiration for poetry came flowing from you, 
Putting my feelings on paper, something I never do.

If feeling were water I would give you a sea, 
Truthful and honest to you, forever I will be.
If feelings were light I would fetch you a star, 
Whenever I see you my smile is never far.
If feelings had to be given I would give you every grain of sand, 
Just so you could know the sheer size of them would not fit in your hand.
If feelings had to be described there would not be much I could do, 
Because there is no way to describe someone as special as you.

I live each day as if it is my last,
But suddenly I find myself hoping life doesn’t go too fast.
I look at the sunsets and the first signs of rain, wishing you were there, 
Having to experience theses wonders without you makes my heart tear.
See there is something about you I find ever so alluring, 
Something, that in this day and age, is very reassuring .


I will always be here for you no matter what time, 
For you every mountain I shall climb.
I want to be there for you when you cry for every tear, 
I just want you to know I will always be near, To protect you from everything you fear.

Take care and just know that you are on my mind, 
Because someone like you is very hard to find.
And I hope this is what you expected it to be, 
Regards, sincerely… a poem specially from me.

My weekend away to Clarens...

... Just what the doctor ordered.

Clarens is a lovely smal town situated in the Free State - about a 4 hour drive from home.

It is a quaint little town filled with the most gorgeous antique stores (real antiques, not junk) and home made goods.

3 days away from my life is just what I needed. I have been having heart palpitations and terrible chest pains, so I have been ordered not to exercise & on Tuesday I am undergoing an ECG Stress test to see what the matter is - I can tell you now that it is the bitch woman I work with who is driving me insane.

More importantly, I cannot exercise and I have only 23 days til Thailand!

Anyway, I digress...

We stayed in a cozy guesthouse called Periwinkle Blue - Just too pretty with lots of little details that made it special.

Here is my weekend in pictures:

Friends with Benefits

Don't you just hate it when you type a really witty piece and when you try to post it suddenly disappears and wasn't even saved in drafts? Urgh!

So this is my 2nd attempt & I don't think it will be as good as all my inspiration leaves as soon as I put it all down!

I watched Friends with Benefits yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

2 friends decide that they need sex without complications & turn to each other because they are confident that neither will get emotionally involved.
And in true Rom-Com style, they develop feelings for one another.

I have never been a fan of trousersnake Justin Timberlake, but this movie made me re-evaluate my opinion.

He is natural, funny & very sexy.

His body is looking very buff & I noticed how gorgeous his mouth is.

Mila Kunis is absolutely stunning as well. I would kill to look like her!

The movie has some steamy scenes but with a comedic twist which I loved. There are even some really "sweet" scenes that make you want your very own JT!

You cannot afford to miss this movie, especially if you want to see alot of JT butt!

Woody Harrelson is also hilarious as the gay sport writer.

Low & no I am not referring to my weight!

Feeling very low today.

Most of my clothes don't fit and despite all my exercising, healthy eating and detoxing, I have lost 1 kg since starting gym at the end of July.

I am now including Multivitamins in my daily routine and let's see if this helps.

I was on such a high yesterday after receiving my Thailand tickets and then I realised that I am still going to look like a beached whale on the beach and I won't be able to wear any of the cute clothes that are perfect for the beach holiday I have dreamed about for years.

I just feel like giving up.

Maybe it is time to go to a doctor and test my thyroid? I just don't want to be one of those people that blames everything else for the reason I can't lose weight.

Does it take this long? Seriously?

30 days and counting!!






So what do all these images have in common?

Thailand Baby!

These are the hotels that I will be staying in over our holiday!

With only 1 month to go I am becoming super excited. (Even if I have only shed 1 whole kilogram)

My gym routine has been constant and I have been so good.
1kg is very demotivationg and I have been at it for 2 months now.

I have 4 swimsuits and only 1 barely still fits. Dammit.

My brother has now forbidden me to drink as he says that the alcohol affects your metabolism negatively. I didn't think it would be this hard to give it up. I do love me a glass of a good merlot.

I have been preparing for the trip in other ways too.

Pretty nails and bikini waxes forming part of it.

I better shed a whole bunch of weight this last month!

I must admit, I am feeling better and my muscle tone is improving.

I am really looking forward to the break away from work as well as sharing Tee's birthday with her. She is my best friend & I just couldn't think of any better person to share this trip with!

Thailand & Malaysia, here we come!
