adventure

lately i have been very interested in going on a camper van trip

i just like the idea of driving down pretty roads and parking anywhere to sleep and eat

i also think it would be a very different way to see the countryside

hmmm maybe one day when i am big i will have money for that

for now i am preparing to go to the usa,norway, and sweden for 5 weeks

the visa process is so lame for us south africans

but i am sure it will all be worth it when i am finally there

i have so much to look forward to

friends wedding, 4th july, new york, jazz, friends, food,shopping!

where is your next adventure?

cinnamon goodness

my recent status as a "lady of leisure" has enabled me to spend this wednesday morning in the kitchen. i baked this delicious cinnamon sugar pull-apart bread that i found on "joy the baker's" blog. wow. so delicious. perfect for a tea-drinking,book-reading, afternoon!

regrets

today has been a different kind of day for me. lots has changed. i lost my job. not for any fault of my own. that made me sad. then angry. it made me fight with my boyfriend, my parents, myself. now i am sitting back and examining the pieces. choosing which ones to pick up and fix. which ones are better left on the floor. this picture really woke me up to the reality of what life is. it's all about sitting on day's like this and remembering the better ones, the ones that were before, and the ones still to come. it's not just about looking down, but looking around as well. i hope that tomorrow will be a better day, a different day, a day where i get even more than exactly what i want. 

glee

I don't know about you but this show makes me really happy. It's storyline and character development might be pathetic and cheesy, but the singing just makes me want to smile!

Lady for Lunch: Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts is one amazing person. Beautiful, yet down to earth. She is a real woman. I would love to have lunch with her. I found these pictures of her that were taken in 1992. Such a pretty girl!

The Fratellis

Wow I am really enjoying this bands music at the moment. Its so upbeat and funny and puts me in a jiving kind of mood! Much better than the "add to your depression and make you jump off a cliff" James Blunt playing on the radio. I think "Henrietta" is my favourite song, but i am open to argument. Check out their music video's here:
