Survival Tip: Alternative Party Drinks

I wish I could say that I did the Daisies without any form of stimulant... but I was totally downing Red Bull like a seasoned party animal... even though I've barely touched Red Bull in the last 30 years....

Apparently drinking two very fast makes me dance like an iTunes screen-saver (my description).

I had a heck of a lot of fun and have developed a love of electronic music. It was great to just dance and only feel a little dehydrated, with a small tummy ache. Viva the all night buzz without the morning pain!!

I would recommend a lot of water along with a high caffeine diet ;)

30 Days to 30

it's coming... and I'm getting prepared....

1) Met with my financial advisor today to discuss cover if I get super sick...

2) Probably found the flat we are going to buy...

3) Had random drinks with friends to remind myself that I'm loved

4) Decided to make my own decisions without asking the advice of the masses - it just confuses me

SURVIVAL TIP: Wheat-Free Pizza

I must say, being wheat-free at a music festival is far more difficult than being sober!
I managed to find sushi and fries on the first day. Fortunately after lusting after pizza for the first day, I discovered that Butlers were offering wheat-free pizza! I did have to wait pretty long for my special order and it cost an extra R18... but it made a very tasty brunch :) Bacon, avo and feta of course!
Pizza was a bit expensive as a staple, so tried some chicken 'n rice, Mexican style.... again fries....

It might be wheat-free... but hardly healthy!

I had wheat-free pizza at Obz Cafe last night too - again, R20 extra. I wasn't too pleased to see that my pizza was practically half the size of a wheat pizza.... and more expensive?

Someone else mentioned to me today that junk food is becoming faster and cheaper to make, while healthy options are just increasing in price.... when will we be treated equally or even rewarded for making healthier choices?

I've been wheat-free for 9 days, most people don't understand why I am doing this, while others have already commented on my flatter stomach.... I suppose no one understood why I was vegetarian for 5 years either.... maybe it's just because I can? ;)

Training For The Zombie Apocalypse

Here's To The Daisies Weekend Baby...

Girl Guide Logic...

"Be Prepared"

This is not what I am, somehow this week has run away with me, probably because 2 out of 3 nights I've rushed straight from work to a flat viewing. I slept away my whole Sunday... blah blah, I didn't go shopping, I've been eating soup, popcorn, veggies at home - at work I've managed omlette and baked potato. I am not full, I am hungry.... very very hungry... convenience food all seems to be wheat covered - pasta, pizza, wraps, pies, sandwiches, crumbed.... need I continue? I'm starting to wonder how healthy I've been the last three days???

I am shopping tomorrow night, mostly for Daisies, I really need to make sure I'm properly prepared.... who knows what wheat-free nosh will be available?

Dry Daisies....

.... Rocking The Daisies this weekend, and I'm going, and I will be sober!

It's it be fine... totally fine... I might have to tranqualise myself to get any sleep because I won't be under the sleepy spell of savigon blanc. I might starve a bit.... no burger rolls, pizza, sandwiches, pie.... remind me again why I'm doing this in October? Oh, right, because it's NOT easy....

I'm better off planning my festival wardrobe....

WANTED: Wine & Pizza

Arrrrrrrrrgh.... This week is lame and I want my comfort....

I wanted KFC (ok as I type this, I realise the crumbs are illegal), but decided to come home to my veggie soup. I was (still am!) really hungry, so decided to make scrambled eggs with my last two eggs. I opened a bottle of milk yesterday, apparently Best Before 5 October... it smells and tastes fine... who knows because as soon as the scrambled egg mixture bit the pan, my whole kitchen stank... of off milk, not egg.... I am cross.

I was going to start my Zombie training today, but I really don't want to - this week is too busy, I'm starving, I promise.... I will finish Spring Cleaning in lieu of exercise.... promise....

The First Rule of Zombieland

I have been very unmotivated lately, maybe I good thing that I've set strict challenges for this month. I've decided to take a different stance on exercise - taking inspiration from Zombieland

Rather than exercising to lose weight or get fit - I will merely be training to ensure my survival come the Zombie Apocalypse.

Who's with me? :)

Day 1 and I could care less....

"Dirty Paws" - Of Monsters & Men


I have so much on my mind, little of it to do with alcohol or wheat. I guess that a pizza and a glass of wine would probably give me the illusion of more clarity, but let's not fail before we're even begun.

My brother and I have decided to buy a flat together - It feels like the most daunting thing I have ever considered. We haven't been looking for long, and have only viewed two properties. It feels like online dating, and more than once, let's say 4 out of 5 times, I've made contact with a realtor and then freaked out and cancelled the meeting because I didn't like the flat's profile picture.... or address.... cautious or shallow? Who knows?

Flat #1 looked super sexy in his profile picture and we seemed to like all the same things... gas hobs, apple green tiles, built in book selves... but Oh Man.... was he lacking in the bedroom department *chuckle*

Flat #2 admitted that he was rough around the edges, but was ample in the bedroom department... however; his cooking and personal hygiene left a lot to be desired. I'd have to completely mould him from scratch.... as fun as that sounds... his ex had been very rough on him, and I wasn't sure I felt like dealing.

Right now I'm not sure that my feelings about dating and house hunting are very far apart... I'm pretty petrified of commitment. I've been in a fairly monogamous relationship with my flat for almost 4 years but we're not legally bound. Been out of a serious romantic relationship for close on 3 years.... not sure how I feel about changing that either....
BUT 30 approaches and certain things are pretty much expected. I'm not looking for advice, I think I'm just saying - it's all kinda hectic.
