So always remember that I believe in KARMA so dnt mess with me! Hehehehe!

Alanis Morissette - Ironic
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain...
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...
It's like rain...
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
He won the lottery and died the next day

Tinks
Tinkerbell...
She is my favourite!
I have been watching the Peter Pan dvd's lately with the kids that i have babysat and all the memories came back from when i saw Peter Pan the firts time!
I was facinated and so scared of Captain Hooh Hehehe is actually funny to see these kids fall in love with the old stories like i did, and how nothing has really cahnged, there is the magic and adventure! Could watch it over and over again!
TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG?
Do you admit you have a problem? No
Do you think this is a problem? No
Can I live without it? Yeah and no
Do you like it? I LOVE IT!
Do you feel yourself craving it? Only after a few hours of not doing it!
Has this consumed me? Nah
Has this become a big part of my life? YEAH!
I have been blogging for a reason, it a piece of my life, its my memories that I am trying to capture and share it.
I guess you have to get into it to understand? (thats why San, Michelle, Joe and Suijen are blogging too! YOU GUYS ROCK!)
But I know of a few people who just logg on daily to read what im saying or what im posting?
So I must be affecting some people if they are coming back?
It’s a way of letting people in my life… without sharing it one on one?
Its scary that people kinda know allot more about me and where I am at in my life thru it?
I mean my cousin in the Cape knows now what my favorites meal it, Richard sms me every time he hears my favorite song, my parents knew exactly what to get me for xmas, my friends know when im angry?
BUT ITS ALL BEEN BRILLIANT! I really love it! IM HOOKED!
I guess I am just having a wonderful time and NEED TO SHARE the joy, trails and tribulations (I think there is a book with this name or something!)
SO ENJOY THE RIDE! O yeah dnt forget to buckle up! Whohooooooooooooooo
(yes whohooooooo is my new word for the month!)
***Its actually funny, when a few of us get together and some one says something funny, I think or even say “I HAVE TO BLOG THAT!” Hehehe im so obsessed

Slamming down the phone...
With the luck of my draw I get to experience bad manners very often.
Not only from silly candidates, but now from collogues…
Now it is none of my business what is going on in their lives, but the one thing that irritates me beyond believe is the slamming down of the phone!
Now I get upset too, but I think this is so horrible!
Bad manners is what my mom calls it!
I have realized I have not been brought up to badly, cos I rarely do it if ever, just dad and me sometimes do it, but its soon followed by, “Im sorry… I love you!” phone call back!
BAD MANNERS IS UNACCEPTABLE!(Especially if you are a grown up!)

Michelle and Nadine
Hick-ups!
So my boss has hick-ups, not normal hick-ups, but LOUD real cartoon HICK-UPS!
Its actually entertaining as every time she makes a hick-up we all giggle and smile!
Shame I feel her pain tho?
I get hick-up when I’m nervous… (just for your info)
I used to at school just before exams, like clock work, get hick-ups, a runny nose or a lil cough that will irate the living daylights out of me, and EVERYONE in school hall!
It used to be funny!
So last year off I went to exams in JHB with UNISA and there was this massive hall, with like a 1000 people in, and LOW AND BEHOLD! I start getting hick ups… people giggle and after 30 min of absolute torture the exam monitor asked me to leave the hall and drink water! I was so embarrassed… never the less got back to my seat and my cough started… again I was asked to leave… when I returned the running nose and sniffles started… I guess once it starts it just doesn’t stop!

You're All I Have – Snow Patrol
Strain this chaos turn it into light,
I've gotta see you one last night,
Before the lions take their share,
Leave us in pieces, scattered everywhere,
Just give me a chance to hold on,
*Give me a chance to hold on,
Give me a chance to hold on,
Just give me something to hold onto,
*It's so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear cause you are all that I have,
It's so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear cause you are all that I have,
You're cinematic razor sharp,
A welcome arrow through the heart,
Under your skin feels like home,
Electric shocks on aching bones,
*Give me a chance to hold…
*It's so clear now…
There is a darkness deep in you,
A frightening magic I cling to,
*Give me a chance to hold on…
*It's so clear now…

How do you know your home…
In my family (mom, dad, sister and me) we know we are home when all the following happen:
Nadine and I are fighting, calling each other names.(i am also pulling her hair or she is punching me)
The girls gang up on my dad.
We always find a cool parking spot (must be the good karma).
My dad pulls his faces with all the stories we tell him.
My mom smiles and says we are silly.
Nadine is hugging and screaming in your ear how much she loves you, and how sorry she is for being mean.
I moan and groan about how unorganized this bloody family is!
Dad and mom check with us if they look ok to go out in public with us.
Nadine and I fight over who showers first.
Nadine takes forever to get ready.
Dad waits patiently while we faff.
Mom checks that we eat something, even before dinner!
Dad tells us to hurry up.
I am ready, but as we leave I would have forgotten something.
Nadine and I get moody when we hungry and my mom feeds us.
Dad tags along shopping and ends up sitting somewhere and waiting for us.
We giggle allot!
Mom tells us to behave (even tho we are grown up, we act like kids)
Dad always gets something nice to nibble on, like biltong, ice cream etc.
Nadine always tries out the healthy meals.
Dad will have burger, mom depends on mood, and i always have something with mayo and
fries! (my food is always served last)
We walk hand in hand, me with dad, or with mom.
We stare at people... i know it rude but its fun!
Nadine flirts with all the cute guys.
I have to see handbags.
Nadine BUYS stuff.
I go into EVERY SHOP and buy NOTHING!
You know your home with the silliest of things…
I LOVE MY FAMILY MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!

WHAT A WEEKEND!
They say things happen in three..
Nadine and I fight allot this weekend,
Mom's car is stolen,
We get sun burnt!
Yes yes, all this happen in my 30 hour visit to Durban!
(please note that is was a 30 HOUR VISIT TOO THERE IS ANOTHER 3!)
Nadine and I got to bed nice and EARLY just before we had to go to airport, we fought about space in the house, as we both were agro, sleepy and moody! We wanted our own space! So we were collected by Cari (THANKS AGAIN DARLING) and headed off to the airport, we went to keg for breakfast… no alcohol was served! Nadine departed and I had to wait for my flight! What a BORING WAIT! Never mind my horrible flight with a lil headache (translated as MASSIVE hangover THANKS NADINE!)
We chilled the day and headed to Ushaka and met up with Ouma and Oupa :)
Went to resort and chilled till dinner time, we went to the ROMA REVOLVING RESTAURANT in Durbs, it was so nice :)
We were all pretty tired and happy go lucky when we left… till we realized that car was gone… when I say gone I mean disappeared, stolen, taken, moved without our permission… DRAMA! The Crouch family in panic = SCREAMING, BLAMING, SWEARING AND ALL ROAND CIAOS! (poor Matthew was the only calm person)
We cancelled cards, got a cab and tried to think why were so silly to park there in the first place! The police were very efficient in coming to the hotel and taking our statements. The hotel also was so accommodating and friendly, even offered assistance where they could.
Sunday it was USHAKA MARINE WORLD!
I really like the place, I think I have actually taken allot for granted in the past, I have been there a few times and kinda just rushed thru it all, but this time actually took pictures and listened to what the people where talking about! The WET ‘n WILD water world was fun! Nadine, Matthew and myself went a few times, the whole set up is very organized! GOT SUNBURNT VERY EINA! I wore sunscreen so do not wanna know what Nadine feels like with NO SUNSCREEN!
We left again, luckily we could use Matthew’s dad bakkie to get back!
Nadine made yummy food and I was on my way again back to JHB!
The flight was ok, nodded off a few times, I was so tired! I actually nodded off the one time and head budded the guy next to me… hehehe so I pull out the line “sorry to kinda bump into ya, was wondering what you listening to one your iPOD?” and then this one “Sorry that was not a pick up line!” so he laughed and we chatted, anywoo so he offers me gum and I dnt wanna take it so he says “Its sugar free!” so I say “Do you think I need sugar free? Does it look like im on diet.” Lets just say people around me starting laughing! It was fun!
San picked me up and we both CRASHED AND BURNT!
We were exhausted! THANK GOODNESS ITS OVER!
5 days to chill then NADINE BACK IN TOWN!
