day 5... I am not napping, I AM NOT NAPPING

Today we were at The Grey School in PE and yesterday at Muir College (which despite people helping me pronounce I still cant say it so read "meer" because that is how I seem to have decided to say it forever and ever amen) The reception has really been amazing ! the kids are really awesome and respectful and just amazeballs !! making me think maybe a post grad in High school ... mmmm still a thought a very very very distant in the way that it will probably never happen kind of thought.... hahah

Tomorrow its Alexander Road the we have VGHS on Monday and Pearson on Tuesday .. then we travel to Queens town (however I have been telling people we are traveling to Queensland) so according to me, we fly to Australia on Tuesday? hahaha

Quite excited, going to see our old Pastor, Steve and his wife Candice and their two amazing children this arvie..  will be nice to have a catch up and just see the kiddies more then anything. 

Have also made a gym buddy- we will be meeting for a little work out sesh tomorrow after Alex high ! woop woop ! feeling quite resoucefull - 
We are staying quite close to the beach front so I am thinking this evening a nice walk and may be some sun tomorrow arvie.. had a look at my armie today and it is paling.. WE CANT HAVE THAT oh no...

Bushy bushy birds nest hair.. and white whiteness ... stupid GHD packed up this morning :( very sad day and now I dont know whether to hang on to it (it weighs like a ton cos of the adapter I have) or just chuck it and have a lighter bag? Ek weet nie :( whats a girl to do (girlproblems) but in all honesty who is gonna wanna be my friend when I look like a crazed lunatic from 19 voetsak?

Anyhoo that's it from me for now.. trying desperately not to have a nap so that I will sleep tonight .. 
must.keep.eyes.open.

so far so good

Been four sleeps away from home now, we've arrived in PE at a wonderful couples house who are hosting us in their really lovely home. 

So far we have spent our days mainly setting up and taking down equipment and driving.. my dad has now sung at New Life church in Mossel Bay, Glenwood house in George and York high school in George.  God has proven,yet again to be so gracious and good.. In Mossel Bay we stayed in a hotel ON the beach - glorious! We then moved on to Fancourt golf estate where we stayed for two nights and as I mentioned we are now at the lovely home in PE. 

Been able to squeeze a run in here and there and the eating hasn't been too bad.  It's hard though when you're on the road, so trying just to make the right choices to avoid hipponess. 

For my praying homies - please keep my dad in prayer he seems to have hurt his back and also just pray for general stuff like safety and car etc... very tough to drive when both of you have droopy eyeballs from tiredness;) 

Today its raining! A welcome relief from the overwhelming heat that was in George and yesterday here .. humid, sticky heat and I'm told it gets worse as you go up the coast??

We're here for a week before we head off to next destination .. this morning we're at Muir College then go straight from there to Grey PE to set up for eaaarrlllyyyy tomorrow morning :) lots of carrying today... 

Better be off 

coffee, teeth, drive. 

Att:

Growing up my dad always told me I was the most beautiful girl in the whole world ... as I carried on growing (width more then height) he would tell me my labola (African  "gift" to the brides father) as a bigger girl- is about 50 cows and as a fitter/healthier girl is about 250 cows...
  - at this point I am some where in the middle.

When my value was closer to 50 cows going out posed no problem and there were no random text messages and stuff - however now with my value getting closer to 250 cows I have all of a sudden started getting attention (don't get me wrong, its all welcomed)- 

BUT what am I to do when ALL the attention I get is from 26 and below year old guys... ??? as a 30 (something) year old am I to worry about this new found attention?
 - the attention is probably not even the problem - I AM...
I am like BASKING in the attention - handing out my number left right and centre ... seriously WHO DOES THIS? 

Meeting new people (albeit younger then you) - I have been told that 23 is within my "rule" for those who dont know about the rule.. the rule clearly states you are not to date any one who is younger then HALF your age.. PLUS seven... makes sense? add it up - its a good rule ... DO IT... 

so I have decided on no guilt ... but do I lie about my age? and how on this God given green earth does one date? I just dont know? 
My tendency to put my foot so far in my mouth I chew on my knee caps would make for "interesting" conversation... OR for my name to ever lost into the land of awkward singleness forever and ever and amen.

small victories .. baby steps

Been on the almost straight and narrow for almost a year now... 

Have come in and out of two weight loss challenges-

14.6kgs lost in the first challenge and 10.6kg in the second challenge but before entered challenges cut out lactose (which I found out I am actually allergic to) and have lost all together around 28kgs

still want to loose around 10kgs but this process is sooo long * just keep swimming *
