Holidaydreaming

I know, I know, its been a while since my last post. Blogging is a habit I'm still nurturing. I promise, I will get better at it. I do actually have an excuse though. I had a fairly large test which had to be learnt for. Ask me anything about the skin or the gastro-intestinal tract. I know it all! Like where is that slice of toast digested? I know that. For how long though, that is the question. Don't you hate the way you forget everything you learnt for a test within a few days? But I digress...

What's really on my mind is HOLIDAYS!! It's only a short break but a holiday nonetheless. I unfourtunately have to take a bus home which will work out to be a 8 hour, unbearably uncomfortable trip if I'm lucky but such are the woes of living in the middle of nowhere. Maybe I'll post a few pics from home... Anyway, what holidays have really got me thinking about is our big plan to go to India. Aren't you excited? I was just strolling the internet as I do all too often when I have work and I found the best travel posters. Very art deco, although though I don't even know if that's right. I never did art history. Let's just say vintage, that covers all manner of things these days. They have me all ready to pack my bags and jet-set. Oh, if I were a rich girl, tralalalalalalala. Not sure how many la's Gwen Stefani would want in that.

I actually have quite a long bucket list of places I'd like to go. Starting with the entire world of course but the moon isn't too big a dream for a simple 'plaas meisie' is it? Chortle.

I want to see some cute Indian ellies!
I say cute because everyone knows how much more hardcore African ellies are.

One day... 

P.S. I'm not sure how copyrighting and referencing works out here on the interweb but if you want to know I got these photos from pinterest.com. There, see, I didn't steal them.

You win some, you lose some

I know, I know. It's been quite a while since my last (and first post). I wold say it's been quite a while since I posted but I don't think you can actually say that when writing your second post ever.

I think half the problem is I get the feeling nothing in my life would really interest the internet. I mean, seriously, there are some very interesting things on the internet. So let me just tell you about what's happening right now. And by right now I mean today and this past weekend. To use an old and very used line, I've got good news and I've got bad news. I don't suppose either will be that bad or that good to you but respectively they both made and broke my day.

So first up, ding ding ding... I had my driver's test. And I failed. I didn't just fail though. I stalled! In the yard! Embarrassing. Plus, then the traffic officer was pretty much convinced I couldn't even drive a car. So that was not a good day.

But then something amazing happened. I won something. Not really a big thing. I won free entrance to a club or something. That part is actually fairly irrelevant. The cool part is that I won. Because when I saw that I'd won, oh my goodness, there ain't no party like a free stuff party. I felt like I'd actually achieved something and that I could be proud that my name was the one drawn at random. Suddenly, not having a license passed by in the blur of the post-win rush.

Basically, it was just the best feeling. When it comes down to it, I love free stuff. Like, any free stuff. There is very little I would turn away if it was free. My room at home is a testament to that. I keep it all, especially if I have no really purpose for it. I'm off to go enjoy my free entrance now.

Oh, and another reason to be happy: did someone say spring was in the air? I think hell yeaaah.
