I was tagged by my (yes, she’s mine!!!) Jane to complete this, so here goes:

2. What are you wearing today? Berry coloured tracksuit pants, sneakers and a Simpsons top.

3. Hair? Is mad. I like it. 

4. Do you nap a lot? I dream of that. Haha.

5. Why is today special? It’s the day after my 35th birthday, and I woke up with my kid, dog and boyfriend all cuddled up with me. Best way to wake up.

21. Which countries have you visited? I don’t travel well. haha. No really, I’ve never left SA and have zero travel bug. None.

I’m supposed to tag people in this, but instead I want to tag some of the people who’ve done this so far, so you can read about them too (here’s the thing – they’re pretty darn cool). So, here goes: Jane; Sandy; Brett and Fay.

 

The random thought becomes a meme.

Just mulling over my to-do list. GAH. I have many a random thought though.

So, here they are…my random thoughts for the week:

Word for the week in my head is junkpunch. Heh. As in If I have to hear your stupid arse whining one more time in my life, I am going to junkpunch you into your next incarnation.

Thought for the week in my head is the legacy continues. You actually have to be Larcy to understand what that means.

Thing for the week in my life is liquorice. I have a mild to moderate to maximum addiction to it.

Song for the week in my head is not that frigging anke ditty please for the love of all the pretty things in the world could you get that shit out of my head. No, no, song for the week is Good – Better Than Ezra. Purely because I saw the girls this weekend and it sums up that time of my life for me. Specifically Sarah saying “uhoh” and then ‘purging pink’. You have to actually be Seh to understand what that means.

Food for the week in my belly is dinner. I loved cooking dinner with Cameron last night. Full-scale, unabated, roast potatoes and everything-type dinner. Haven’t done that in a while (don’t call the police on me yet, we do actually eat!). We just hadn’t for a while, had a full-on dinnery type meal with sitting down and not doing eighteen things simultaneously. I forgot how much I love feeding people. I never thought I’d grow up to be like my mom in that regard.

Colour for the week in my life is red. Because that’s what we chose! Waha.

Smile for the week on my face is person. For being a mutual-stalking, crack-me-up, no bullshit divinely-handed you.

Blessing for the week in my heart is that the Universe chose me to be mama to someone so unbelievably alive and unforgivingly herself.
