Or should I say ... I feel sexy
All it takes is for a person to stroke my hair, tickle my ear, kiss me gently and I am putty in their hands.
The wild kisses and hot sex are just an added bonus!

Floored in Five
Coming back from 2 days off from work, it felt like I had been off for 10... 98 emails - each requiring a further 3-4 emails to get them resolved - added to my tree-destroying To Do List and I'm desperately hanging onto my sanity.
I have an appointment to sign my papers for the house on Friday and I got to choose my wooden flooring today. Except I had 5 minutes to choose because my boss called an unexpected meeting ( he had a very serious face so I couldn't dispute it)
I've been oscillating between darkish flooring and light flooring- and being Gemini -both appeal to me!
Having 5 minutes to decide forced me to go with my gut. The choice of carpet and tiles really aren't nice and if I don't change the flooring now, it will become a project I'll keep wanting to do, but never get around to doing because I would never have the time/money/all the above.
Due to financial constraints and thanks to an inside connection, I will be replacing the flooring in my bedroom downstairs and in my loft/tv room upstairs at a very reasonable price.
Perhaps it will sink in soon. It still doesn't feel real!

Hit the Ground Running
I knew that 2013 easy not going to be any quieter than last year, but boy have I sped into it like the bus without brakes in Speed (am I giving my true age away? )
January galloped past at an amazing rate and my year ahead looks to be promising much excitement.
Highlights from January:
Work sales conference. Resulting in a back and neck spasm, but I got to visit the chiropractor for a "back massage" (how's that for a positive spin in things- haha! :-)
Was invited to my first Burger Night over at Claudz and Richy.
Met 2 new people. One guy with a very dry sense of humour and fast wit- I liked him instantly.
Beginning of Feb:
Began planning in ernest for my friends baby shower in March and managed to buy all the favours and get them made!
Had my folks over for a visit, subjected them enjoyed watching some One Direction videos with them. Cooked 2 dishes all by myself- a chicken pie and Bread and Butter pudding. Yum!

Here is what my calendar still holds:
Feb: another foray into the world of speed dating.
A Long weekend to the Pilansberg mountains.
Friends birthday party
Hosting Bookclub
My nephews second birthday
March: week away at Mount Sheba near Hazyview. A holiday we have spoken about for ages.
Friends baby shower
Moving into my new place
April: a trip to Japan! And I am going in springtime which means I get to see the beautiful cherry blossoms.
I'll be away an awful lot which means my work will pile up, but I've already proven last year that no matter if you work until 10pm, the work is never done.
I said 2013 was going to be about me, and that's what I'm going to do!

A pissed off ex-friend
2013 is a year for me to get my life back.
That means eradicating negative people, negative habits and making space for my soul to breathe.
For a while now I have had someone in my life who has been making me question the reason that they are in my life.
Do they add value to my life / Do I add value to theirs?
The answer for both questions should be a 50/50 YES. if not, the relationship needs some honest evaluation.
After the evaluation, I found that I was getting nothing from a particular relationship.
They threw me aside when something better came along.
I was not invited over, but I was always the listening ear to listen to the problems. Thy never turned up to any parties/events/coffee dates because they always had something better to do. When they did attend, they left early... every. single. time.
They thrive on attention and drama and it was a pattern we had not noticed before until we really took a step back and looked back at the history. The reason for their problems became clear when you looked at the recurring pattern.
We all stopped giving them the attention in the hopes that it would break the cycle, because to address the problem would injure their pride and give them reason to enjoy another past-time of theirs - Playing the Victim
In an attempt to reach out, we received a message of apology. Which would have been fine, had the message not then changed tones to become another Woe is Me diatribe.
I have a rule that I am never false, I never say things I do not mean. If I say you look pretty, I mean it. If I think your baby is uglier than a monkeys backside, I don't say the opposite, I smile politely and say, "sweet baby"
If I am angry with you and you ask me, I will tell you I am.
I will never post statuses on Facebook in the hopes that you will see them and know that they were aimed at you. I am not 12 years old and I wouldn't indirectly say something aimed at you when I could actually do it directly and sort it out.
I am loyal to the people in my life & will tolerate a lot and forgive them for a lot, until they:
Once they have done that - my reaction is quick and definite. They will no longer be a part of my life.
I will not forget. I may forgive over time, but that will never mend our relationship back to how it once was.
I do tolerate a lot, which is unlike me considering I am an impatient person. I am there to help my friends when I can, but when they constantly make immature, selfish decisions, I cannot be there to always support them. Not when I want to give them a piece of my mind but know it is useless if I do.
I cannot listen to how they are "severely" or "excrutiatingly" or 'desperately" everything. (they have a good grasp of those verbs, did they find them in the Dictionary for Drama Queens?)
I realise that this is probably not always the best way to be, but it is who I am.
I do not forgive quickly and the anger of the betrayal / accusation takes a long time to dissipate. Until that process is complete, it is best not to be in life where I might say something rash.
After making the decision to finally eliminate that person from my life, I could feel the weight lifting off my shoulders.
I wish I had done it a long time ago. But hindsight is 20/20 vision isn't it?
