Younger Men....

I've been missing my Mojo a bit lately and in the last week I seem to be getting it back.

By nature, I am a flirty person and nothing makes me feel more alive than some witty flirting with a hot guy. If he is a hot, YOUNGER guy, then all the more reason to smile.

I am sure it isn't news to you that I like my men younger, as past flings relationships have attested to.
And no matter how hard I try, I cannot stop the flutter of my heart when I am flirting with a guy who is younger than I am.... 2, 3, 5, 9 years - all the better!
I have dated a man 16 years my senior and I have dated men my own age and then younger, so I have alot of experience with all age groups.
Now that I have had a piece of all types.... I prefer them young.
Perhaps if you had to psycho-analyse me you would arrive at a suitably psycho-babbly theory.
All I know is that I feel alive and sexy when I am speaking to them.
I smile more and I remember the person I used to be, the person I feel like I am losing over the past few years.
My heart beats warm blood through my veins (instead of the usual ice)

There is a special younger man who has caught my eye - call him Special K.... we have started chatting and getting to know each other. He knows about my 1D obsession and he hasn't run for the hills yet. There is definitely a spark between us, so who knows what could happen.
He is a nice guy and I really do like him. I just really don't have patience to wait and see what happens, I want it to happen now... but this is something I don't want to rush.
I want to get to know him and let him get to know me before we complicate it. I have said nothing to anybody about my feelings for him.
For some reason I feel the need for him to be my little secret. so for now... SSHHHH......

 

Friendship trees

Ever watch How to lose a Guy in 10 Days? Kate Hudson buys Matthew a Love Palm...

Tee and I meet for lunch on Sunday afternoon to catch up. Afterwards we took a walk around the nursery to burn off the food we had consumed.
We came across these adorable little trees and each bought one for Christmas!

Friendship Christmas Trees!

By the colour of the pots you can guess mine is on the right!

I said to Tee, this will be the test of our friendship based on whomever can keep their plant alive the longest - although my luck with trees... not the best. (Perhaps I should've kept my mouth shut)

House plants - green thumb. 

Bonsai trees or herbs.... not so much!

I'm looking forward to being able to decorate her when she gets a bit bigger. I think this year my Jim Shaw ornaments will have to be clustered around her base, but hopefully by next year Kathy (I've just named her that) will be stronger.

My entry for 1D

Can you keep a secret?

Remember I mentioned a while back that I had some big decisions to make?
So now that it's all gone through I don't have to worry about jinxing it.. ..
I bought a townhouse !
This is a huge commitment for me. 

Let me tell you how it all started: I've been feeling this restlessness for a while now,  partly to do with the fact that I'm still single and because I'm living in between 2 of the noisiest neighbours ever!
I've always rented for 2 reasons:
1. Too expensive to buy on my own in an area I like , Sandton or Fourways.
2. Because of No1, I thought I would wait to get married and we buy together.

I love the area I am currently living in and on my way to work 1 morning I saw a new development open for sale.  On a whim,  I stopped and had a look.

It was fate!  Not only were they  loft apartments,  but they were affordable too,  and in the area I like!

I chose a unit there on the spot and signed! I got to the office and told Tee,  who’s response was: I didn't even know you were looking!
I wasn't .

It took me ages to actually submit my loan application as I needed bank statements.  I called up Std bank and they emailed them to me immediately ! Stress free application.  6 days later.. . Approved.
Whoop whoop!

It is still alot more money every month,  but I finally found a place I love in the area I love!
Its a 1 bedroom loft with space for a dining table (TV room/lounge) will be upstairs which opens up onto a covered patio with small area on patio that's open.
And they allow cats ! :-) otherwise it wouldn't have been an option anyway!

My rent agreement ends Feb and I get to move to new place end March.  Sure my landlord will extend lease another month.

So everything has gone smoothly enough. 

It took me longer to decide on my phone and my camera than a townhouse.  Go figure!
I never said I was conventional !

I still haven't shared the news with anyone other than Tee and my parents  so ssshhhhh ! :-)

Let's hope I finally get that raise I've been waiting for since Dec 2011. Otherwise things are going to be right financially. 
As I said to my mom,  I won't be able to afford going out to dinners as much,  so I will be thin in my new house!  Ha ha

Next good thing that's gonna happen. .. I'm winning those tickets to New York Baby!

If you wanna help me,  please record yourself saying One Direction . That's all I need.  Will be working on the video this weekend .

Hold thumbs that my life continues on this path... I like me so much better when I'm happy!
