Mental over the MENTALIST!

I don’t know what it is?

Is it the sexy cast including Simon Baker (Patrick Jane), Owain Yeoman (Wayne Rigsby) and the famous guest stars?
Or is it the intrigue of trying to figure it out with the Mentalist who the killer is?
Or is it the fascination that without any SUPER POWERS, but with pure OBSERVATION the Mentalist always figures it out?
Or is it that the Mentalist is an average (deadly handsome) man, seeking the killer of his wife and child?
Or or or???

I love the fact that the episodes are all independent from each other, if you miss a few episodes you can catch up easy, without getting too LOST!
The fact is it is a BRILLAINT show, the comic timing is good, one never knows really who the killer is till the end and SIMON BAKER IS HOT HOT HOT!

Only 4 more episodes left of the first season – so try and catch at least ONE.
MNet Wednesday evening 20:30 and repeats on SERIES on Sunday 15:00.

Lessons Learnt

This is going to be a new feature - will add once a month the LESSONS LEARNT from various scenarios in my life regarding dating, cooking, friendship etc. ENJOY!

I have dated 14 guys in my life (since the age of 5) and these are the lessons I have learnt from each of them :)

Kissing secretly is fun, but if he is kissing you secretly all the time what is he hiding???

He is just not into you – get over it!

Making a girl kiss you in public for the first time isn’t cool.

Kissing for hours is fun, but know when to draw the line.

Dating the Jock is awesome, but people make assumptions.

Your longtime crush might be (always is) an asshole!

Never let a guy make you feel unworthy of his time.

Don’t ever let a guy break up with you without you knowing it. If he cant do it face to face he is not a man.

A real man will always do the right thing – Even if it means breaking up with you.

A person has to love you for who you are and whom you will become – they will give you space to grow.

Always be open and honest. Don’t say you love someone when you don’t mean it!

If he will not fight for you, he is not worth your time.

If he can’t introduce you to his friends or parents he is using you.

A man should treat you like his Queen at all times!

Thought For The Day...

Have you ever wondered if the one hundred rand/dollar/pound bills in your
wallet were ever in a stripper‘s butt crack?

If not, you're wondering now.

More thought: in Nigeria they believe that urinating on your money will return it to you!

The 'Middle Wife' by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher

I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second grade classroom a few years back.

When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students It helps them get over shyness and usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they're welcome.

Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater.

She holds up a snapshot of an infant. 'This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday.'

'First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord.'

She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement.

'Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, 'Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!' Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. 'She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!' (Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning.)

'My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this.' (Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.)

'And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!' (This kid has her legs spread with her little hands miming water flowing away. It was too much!)

'Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe, breathe. They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they all said it was from Mom's play-center, (placenta) so there must be a lot of toys inside there. When he got out, the middle wife spanked him for crawling up in there.'

Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, when it's show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another 'Middle Wife' comes along.

PICS OF THE WEEK

FANCY SMANCHY!
Go have a lovely dinner, lunch or breakfast at a fancy restaurant.
It’s a nice way to do something different if your budget allows and you can dress up.

PROFESSIONAL PORTRAIT
This is a way to capture your image, for yourself and others to remember you by when time has passed.

MOVIES ARE BETTER ON THE BIG SCREEN
Be one of the first to see the movie – or be the last – JUST GO AND WATCH A MOVIE
Nothing beats the pop corn and big screen
Very easy to book online at www.sterkinekor.com and saves some time.

PHONE A FRIEND
Call a friend or family member you have spoken to in a while.
Make a connection and stay in touch – feel that with technology that human element is lacking in most relationships.

HIGH TEA at NOON
The age old English tradition of having TEA.
Have TEA and spoil yourself with some sandwiches, biscuits, cupcakes and serve in REAL TEA CUPS!
Really an experience and think by spoiling yourself with the little things in life is wonderful!
Even better invite someone over for high tea and enjoy the merriment of company :)

Maybe??

Definitely Maybe – this is the movie I watched on Sunday.
A really chick flick, but really good.
But got me thinking MAYBE is a stupid word!

It is either yes or no in my books.
A MAYBE is only valid if you can come back with a YES or a NO.
A MAYBE is not cast in stone, it is not a definite and people cannot plan anything with a MAYBE.

Like for example, I invited people to my birthday party in Feb – do you know how many maybe’s I got?
12 YES 12 people who did not know YES or NO. Out of the 12 only 2 made up their minds and said YES.
The other 10 where still thinking about it – like what else could I do on that day, or ill see last minute and arrive if I don’t have anything better to do.
Out of the “maybe” YES people only one showed up???
What is up with that??

I mean – Have a look at the invite of the event, check your diary, check with whomever your suppose to and say YES or NO.
It’s as easy as that! People can then plan the event with the right amount of foods, chairs etc?
Sooooooooooooooooo this is my motto to say YES or NO – never MAYBE!
It really is like saying to a kid, maybe we can go to Disney land???
Maybe what??? What is that suppose to be??? So should I hold my breath for a yes or no???

Maybe is banned from my vocab – YES OR NO!
YES OR NO – Not both just one!
YES YES YES YES!!!

Faces

Totally random and had to add this to my blog!

I was a little bored and took some pics of me - Hahahaha
Really had fun and you can see that I really dont care what I look like :)
Gotta love the FULL TEETH IN YOUR FACE PIC

(Please feel free to comment on this masterpiece)

Brrrr

Finally it is Winter in Johannesburg!
I have never really loved Winter, always seen it as dull and dreary, but this year I am embracing it!

It is time for electric blankets, heaters, cuddling in bed, making soup, hot chocolate and staying indoors.
VIVA Winter VIVA! This is going to be my new favourite season :)

Secrets...

I really do love keeping secrets!
(Not bad ones but the things that people tell me, that I can not tell anyone else)

Silverstar

This casino based in Krugersdorp (Mogale City) is a small but lovely venue. Really unlike any casino's I have ever seen. I must say the BEST part of the place must be the Fountain, every 30 min there is a 5 min show. Really awesome and at night you can really enjoy the water with a rainbow of color lights adding so much MORE! Have a look at the clips below of the 3 shows i captured. GO AND HAVE A LOOK - Its a nice day out! :)

Nature

Nature is all around us... yet is seems that we have lost touch with it?
I grew up soaking up the sun each day at school, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the ocean breexe. Now 5 years later I am sitting here and wondering when last I experienced that?? It has been a while and way too long.
I can see how people tend to forget about Nature, living the concrete jungel, matchboxes for houses, small gardens and limited to everything GREEN! This life has made it so very easy to forget the GREEN GREEN GRASS, TREES, FLOWERS...

This weekend Matthew and I are going to do some exploring in nature. It is winter and not that green, but will be fun. I am really looking forward to getting out the house and getting in some fresh air.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh scarf, hat, jersey, blanket and Nature with my boy sounds like a perfect weekend out.

Men - WHY??

Just a few things men do that I just don’t understand?

TOILET SEAT (UP)
Down please that is what I prefer – don’t get why men don’t just do it.

EMPTY CARTON
Yes milk cartons with no milk get placed back in the fridge – for what reason?

GAMING
Ok so I love gaming too but cannot sit the ENTIRE day playing some battle game.

BEING NAKED
Men just don’t seem to care about this, will walk around the house in just their underwear – SO UNATTRACTIVE.
Please put a shirt on I say!

SEXY PICS OF LADIES
Great to see you are interested, but do they all have to be so hot and seriously airbrushed?
Come on do you know they do not REALLY look like that in real life????

WEARING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER
Please don’t do it – change the shirt and pants from yesterday.

SHORT SHOWER TIMES
Do you get to wash everything that needs to be washed???

SHAVING ONLY WHEN ASKED
Please please just shave that beard already!

WATCHING WWE (Wrestling)
This is not sport and such a waste of time.
