As a wonderful early birthday present, my Jinx has presented me with http://mamazombiemumbles.co.za
please, dear audience of 6, update your readers
see you on the flipside!
- it’s a month before my birthday. this means it’s a month before it’s a year before i’m 30. freaking THIRTY. Jinx seems to be scheming something for my the day. anyone who has any inkling of what he’s up to should give me a hint ok?
- i was reminded today of how freaked out i am by dolls. while we’re talking about that, you know those toy monkeys with cymbals they clap together? those too. i think i’d shit myself if i ever saw one in real life
- i sent an e-mail today that could change things forever. it had to be sent and said though. now to wait for results.
- i’m generally a nice person, but there’s one person that’s getting on my last nerve at the moment. you know the saying: some people need a high five in the face with a chair? yes, that
- we’re moving again. luckily it’s just to a nicer unit in the same complex.
- My wine tastes seem to be maturing somewhat. I suppose seeing as it’s a month before it’s a year before i’m 30 it’s about time i move on from cheap as hell box wine and onto things that actually have a cork. So far am loving Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
- Jinx seems to be on a mission to prod my girly side into existance. right now i have pink nails. no word of a lie. like PINK PINK. it’s all his fault.
- I’ve lost track of how long it’s been since i’ve spoken to you, but it’s working for me so far. i’ll keep it this way.
- I miss my Jozi friends. They should totally roadtrip to the coast. HINT HINT
- Back on the OMG how old am i thing, I’m busy putting a list of 35 things to do before i’m 35. I’m a couple of things short so far, but will post it soon. And Jinx, i know you’re reading this, so i’d just like to say once again that making a “home movie” will NOT appear on the list.
- K2 finally decided to walk!! yay! She still insists on crawling most of the time, but i think that’s just because she knows it’s a faster way of getting around.
That is all.
Anyone who knows me knows that i’m less than enthusiastic about the beach. Apart from my lilly white Irish skin tones and terror of large bodies of water, the sand just gets in EVERYWHERE and my body isn’t exactly beach ready.
So on Saturday when Jinx returned from a 6am breakfast hunt and suggested a walk on the beach front i was a little hesitant, but half an hour later the weatherwas just too beautiful for even me to stay inside so we bundled into the car and headed off for uShaka.
That was taken from the end of the pier near Moyo at uShaka. The weather was glorious and because we’re headed for winter it wasn’t too hot 
We ended up walking from uShaka to Joe Cools which is almost a 5km walk by my reckoning. It didn’t feel that far at all! We stopped on the way back to introduce K2 to the beach and she LOVED it! She had such a blast digging in the sand. Jinx took her into the water, but she wasn’t too keen on that at all. I guess that’ll just take some getting used to. We’ve decided that we’ll be doing it WAY more often
K2 loving the sand
Jinx and I being super cheesy
I was so impressed by how much Durban beachfront has been upgraded since I last saw it. It really is lovely now!
- I have trust issues by the truck load. There’s a grand total of about 3 people I trust with anything vaguely important. Everyone else still gets Megan-Lite when it comes to my deepest darkest
- I’m stubborn as hell and I will get my way whether you like it or not. Jinx found this out yesterday.
- Knowing someone for years does not make someone a good friend. Even thinking they’re a good friend doesn’t make them a good friend.
- Sometimes it’s easier to write someone off and stop trying than be the one constantly putting the effort in.
- I really need to stop internalising worries. I’m really good at not stressing about something when around others and rather end up not sleeping or throwing things around at 3am than just talking about what I’m freaking out about. Apparently putting on a happy face and looking ahead past current worries can make certain people *coughjinxcough* worry that I’m not worried enough meanwhile I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown and just good at covering it up.
- Coughing, while a pain in my throat and terrible for my sleep patterns, is great for my abs.
- No value can be out on that pair of heels that you can dance in all night and still walk the next day. I have found those heels.
- Sometimes a good old stalking of someone on facebook is incredibly good for your ego.
- Sometimes it’s not.
So by some small miracle i managed to shed a massive amount of weight just before i left Jozi. i guess a combination of emotional upheaval and being pretty broke helped, but anyway. i notice it’s starting to creep back. I blame happiness and being way closer to shops for this, but the point is, the fat must eff off and stay effed off.
I don’t generally do hectic diets because as soon as i feel deprived of something, i start hectically craving it and will cheat and cheat often, so my plan is to just start eating healthier. so i’ll be putting away the frying pan and concentrating on lots of salads and roast veggies as opposed to take away. Hopefully this will kick my ass and my metabolism into gear a bit right?
So Dear Audience, this is your job. If you see me tweeting, blogging, FBstatusing, or anything elseing about eating crap, you need to mock me. call me a fat ass. make me feel weak willed and lumpy. ok?
Oh, and any healthy eating tips you may have? leave a comment
Thanks 
Wow, Dear Audience, it’s been a while, hasn’t it. I’m still here, still loving being back in Durban, still breathing.
I’m not even sure where to start. Those of you that follow me on twitter will know by now that the friend I was supposed to flatshare with became my very significant other shortly before I moved in to the little town house I’m itching to redecorate. I’m bissfully re adjusting to cohabitation and am slowly letting him chip away at the walls that were swiftly thrown up after my last little romantic disaster. The fact that my girls adore him helps a little 
Being in the same province with both of my kids is more wonderful than I can explain. K1 has barely stopped talking since I got back and as she grows up I can see so much of both FOK1 and myself in the things she does it makes me laugh (and worry a little) so often. K2 still isn’t walking, but is so close. She’s become such a little person in he own right.
So anyway, typing long posts on my bb is such a pain. Just wanted to let you know, Dear Audience, that I’m here, in one piece. Promise you’ll get a proper post with pictures and everything when I can hijack Jinx’s laptop for a while
