Living The Good Life 2008-03-19 01:50:18 Asterix Earl Von Exmi, Duke of the East is living the seriously good life. Sleeping on his blanky in front of the heater, surrounded by toys, with a full belly. He's naughty as hell, but awfully cute. The Boyfriend keeps coming home with more toys and goodies for The Puppy. He, who was against getting a dog in the first place is besotted with the little bugger. And the little traitor loves The Boyfriend more than me. The Boyfriend wants to buy him a camo cushion to sleep on, and a black spiked collar. Tut tut. The rain has finally ended, was getting a bit worried there. Supposed to be going to MyCokeFest this friday and was anxious it was going to be rained out. But hopefully not. Anyone else going?? On another note. I'm supposed to be starting my thesis today, for my masters' degree. (I Read more:Living

Meet... 2008-03-18 01:46:58 ...the reason why I didn't blog yesterday.He's a 7 week old Jack Russell puppy. Rescued from neglect.The people who had him are apparently Jack Russell breeders. They should have their licence revoked. The condition he was in when I got him, was appalling.Pregnant Friend, who rescued him, but couldn't keep him, said all the other puppies in the litter went missing. They were just abandoned in the garden, uncared for. This little bugger would sleep under the shed. He was riddled with ticks and fleas when I got him. Absolutely infested. It took me about three hours to wash him, clean him and pick them all off.He was attacked by other dogs, has wounds all over his ears. Because it's illegal to dock puppies' tails, these people docked his themselves. On a bread board. With a meat cleaver. Can
Bag Lady 2008-03-20 03:17:13 Was tagged, totally out of the blue (haha, whatever) by Sheena. To examine my handbag and the contents thereof. Here goes. I warn you, it might not be pretty. I have many handbags...many, many in fact. But this is one of my favourites: (it goes with everything!) I suppose you're going to be able to tell a lot about me from the type of handbag I have?This is the view from the top. Look how much stuff I have crammed in there. Let's take a closer look!In no particular order:1 x Jack Russell ornament. A good luck charm from my father. It always sits on my desk when I'm writing an exam.1 x pair of "Armani" sunglasses. Purchased at the traffic lights for forty bucks.1 x little purple googly-eyed ape. That came out of a Kinder Joy Egg. The Boyfriend would buy those for me while I was pregnant bec
Would I Be A Bad Person If.... 2008-03-20 01:26:04 ...I admitted I'm not coping......I admitted that when my child cries, I want to hurt him......I told you that this is harder than I expected......I told you that sometimes it seems like too much effort......I admitted that sometimes I dont feel like a mother to The Kid. I feel like a babysitter......I told you I feel depressed and had a little breakdown last night and cried and cried......I told you that sometimes I just let The Kid cry, while I go outside and have a cigarette. And a sobfest of my own......I admitted that I live for Fridays, when The Boyfriend's Mother takes The Kid for the night......I admitted that I dont miss him while he's away...Would you judge me if I told you all this was true?
Pimp My Kid 2008-03-26 01:11:23 Taking The Kid to a casting agent today. Hopefully get him some commercials or something. Apparently a kid can earn between 10 and 20 grand for a commercial. Can you fucking handle it? For a few hours work, he will be earning more than most people do in a month.So, it's time for him to pay his own way. Earn his own nappies and formula, because man, that stuff aint cheap. See? This is why people have children.To make money off them.
Our House....In The Middle of Our Street 2008-03-27 08:55:43 ...our house... Does that song sound familiar to you? It's the song that's been stuck in my head ever since I was tagged with this meme three days ago, by Parenthesis. Her instructions are:"The long and short of it is this: find five things around your house that speak to who you are, take a photo of each, post them and briefly explain what they talk to. Then annoy someone by tagging them to do the same." So here. Get a voyeur's look into my house:Black and white cows. We have an awful lot of them in our kitchen. A cow clock. A cow wooden sppon holder. A cow jug. A cow toothpick holder. The Boyfriend and I started shopping for our house long before we moved in. I was still pregnant at the time. For some reason he picked out one thing that was cow, and the next thing, everything was cow. I Read more:House

Think Meme 2008-04-09 09:45:02 Ok, so I've been tagged by Happy Snapper to do this "Six-word Memoir"Quoted from Smith Magazine:"Six-Word Memoirs: The Legend" - Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Last year, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the recountre by asking our readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet (“Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends”) and poignant (“I still make coffee for two”) to the inspirational (“Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah”) and hilarious (“I like big butts, can’t lie”). My Six Word Memoir:"Can I have a refund, please?" Here are the rules:1. Write your own six word story.2. Post it on your blog [and include a

Ask Me-Me 2008-04-23 13:43:33 So I stole this meme from a foul-mouthed princess. KaB. And think it's kinda cool. Being how I love memes and all, and think it's a fab way to get interactive with my readers, since I've been gone for so long.Okay, here's how it works.Ask me a question. Any question. Foul, vulgar, embarrassing, funny, personal, mean, naughty or curious. Anything. Absolutely anything about me, The Kid, The Boyfriend, my life, what goes on inside my head. If you've ever wondered it, but been too shy or too apathetic to ask, now is the time. Even if it's something not related to me or my life, and it's something you just wanna know, ask and I'll try figure it out. Agony Aunt style.Go on, give us all a Cheap Thrill and ask me something.The next post will be entirely dedicated to answering my readers' questions
getting back to basics 2008-04-23 08:33:33 Oh, hello there. For Exmi's readers, hihowareyou, my name is Sheena. For our mutual readers, SURPRISE! I wasn't lying when I said I'd ride on everyone else's coat tails until I've sorted out my shit.Annny way, I thought I would go back to the title of this blog and share with you one or two of my recent happenings. I've met a dude. Yes, I have. He's funny. And insanely annoying. He's also about to skip the country for AGES and is deserting me, which I find very rude, but whatever. I know you happen to read this here blog, darling, so flap hard when you fly, come home soon and keep that promise of feet sweepidge! My heart is at stake, so I'll label this my expensive mistake. Last night I went for dinner with a friend. Oooooh. I was spoiled rotten and am going to miss him so much
And You Asked... 2008-05-03 09:40:15 ...and apparently, you wanted to know the following things. So, as demanded, here are the answers... Brace yourselves.The Divine Miss M wanted to know:"Here's my question.Where on earth have you been?What's been happening in your life?"Well. I haven't actually been anywhere. I have been at home, doing the usual - look after The Kid, change nappies, make bottles, pull funny faces, play bouncy-bouncy. Cook. Clean. Entertain my man. The reason for my absence from blogging: a condition called internetlessness. Brought on by a faulty 3G card that I still have not yet sorted out. It's on my list of things to do, people, so stop nagging.As to what's been happening in my life. Nothing severely drastic. The usual spouts of brawling. The usual spouts of getting along with The Boyfriend. The most exc

Have still not sorted out 3G card. Went to my nearest MTN store and the fuckers are closed for renovations. Dammit all, it's just too much hard work, I tell you.

I Spoke Too Soon 2008-06-08 08:24:55 The Boyfriend and I had a rip-roaring fight the other night.And I threw baby cereal at him as he was walking out the door to go have a cigarette outside. We were both feeding The Kid his dinner - some banana cereal. The Kid refuses to eat veggies, so he lives on a diet of fruit, cereal and formula milk. I had asked The Boyfriend if he felt like bathing The Kid, and he told me he didn't. I sighed i
It's Strange How Things Work Out 2008-06-24 00:45:31 Two Decembers ago I was loving the single life. Adoring going out with my friends, partying, getting all sorts of drunk and snot-flying. I had just graduated from law school, finished my last exams and had an insatiable lust to party.I drank every day and every night. And was excited about the road trip I had planned to Joburg with my best friend from high school. But that road trip didn’t pan o Read more:Strange

More Dreams.... 2008-07-08 01:38:06 So the following night I had ANOTHER dream about The Boyfriend's BFF. I know, what is going on here? So this is what happened. We were talking, and he confessed his undying love to me. All soap-opera style. Told me he knew that I was the woman he was meant to marry. Told me he'd wait for me as long as it took. I asked him if The Boyfriend knew how he felt, and he said he didn't care. That this wa Read more:Dreams
Shameful Confession 2008-07-06 08:03:09 I must admit to having another dream of a sexual nature about The Boyfriend's Best Friend. Sies, I know. This time I dreamt I was sitting on The Boyfriend's lap. And The Best Friend was standing next to us and he said to me 'this is the perfect angle for me to kiss you while [The Boyfriend] fucks you'.* And then The Boyfriend got up and was chasing him around, trying to punch him. But somehow I kn

Anatomy Lesson 2008-07-01 01:59:25 Okay, this might be a 'too much information' story, but I thought it was hilarious. The painters are in for me. I'm surfing the crimson tide. For those who cant pick up on the subtleties, I am on my period. Now, the Boyfriend and I were driving home the other day. And this is how the conversation went. Me: I really need to pee.Him: Haha, I'm going to drive really slowly and hit every pothole and s
