This weekend was filled with some braai's

Eating lovely,homemade food,made specially by good friends

Hugs,and kisses from my beloved

And most importantly,hours of talking and laughing with my

best friend in the world,

who although we see each other very little,

always mesh well together,no matter what the situation.

This Valentine's weekend was more like a Friendship/Love weekend,which I think was

AWESOME!

Sadness all around

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 08:02:00 +0000

Wow,it has been forever since I've written anything on this blog.Some things have happened since then,and not all of them that good.

First off,we adopted our little foster kitty,Cleo,which made me so so so happy,since she has been around us her entire life,and was basically meant to be with us anyway.

Unfortunately,as always seems to be the case with me,tragedy struck last Monday,when she was hit by a car.

Now,in explanation,our cats are both indoor/outdoor cats,and have been since they were kittens.We live in a very small town,and have a lovely yard (although shared with 3 other apartments,but still nice) so they have space to play and be merry in.

But as any of you with cats especially,as pets,would know,a cat has a mind of their own,and tends to do the exact opposite of what you want them to.And our 2 girls love chasing each other,and the chases sometimes involve the street in front of our apartment.

Now,we don't really know for sure that she was hit by a car,because we were both at work at the time,and only discovered her about 8 hours later,hiding in the garden (which absolutely breaks my heart,to think she was lonely and in lots and lots of pain for all that time).

JC seems to believe she fell from the roof,which I think is ridiculous,but whatever.Another possibility,of course,is that some incredibly disgusting,mean person,kicked her.In which case I hope that person will rot in hell for being such a dispicable human being.

So,now I have a very sick kitty at home.I've taken her to the vet twice now,which has exhausted my financial resources to the max,and it doesn't look like we're done with the vet yet.I seriously don't know where I'm going to get the money from,but I get really sad and teary when I think of Cleo,and her hurting.

I'm hoping God will show the way to resolve this,and that He will help me take care of her.

Cleo

Sorry for the downer return,but this has been occupying my thoughts so completely the last nearly 2 weeks,I've not been able to think of anything else.

being thankful

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 08:56:00 +0000

thankful for...

First up,the kind of obvious,quite serious,but still very true things...

2.My cat-daughter,Maya

3.Jacques,the love of my life

4.My best friend in the world,Liz

5.The rest of my family

6.Having a job

7.Pictures of my dad - they keep him close to me

and now,the less serious,but no less important,things that I'm

thankful for...

8.Pizza,any kind,anywhere,any time

9.A cold shower after a long hot day

10.Beautiful roses that grow in my 'garden',and pretty up our apartment

11.My new fridge,that still makes my heart very happy

12.Good stuff to watch on tv,when I'm super bored

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:56:00 +0000

Shocking,I know

black cats make everything better

happy 4 years!

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:10:00 +0000

I'm a little late posting about this,seeing as our anniversary was Tuesday,November 10,

but nevertheless,I just wanted to let everyone know just how

much I love this little bugface

He makes me super mad,and super happy,sometimes just minutes

apart from each other

He makes me think,makes me feel,makes me believe more in myself

I don't always know what he sees in me,or why

we were destined to be together

But I never doubt that we were

definitely

meant to be together

>3 I LOVE YOU >3

at the end of the rainbow

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:02:00 +0000

Dark and ominous sky...not so much.The sun came through,and created this...

A double rainbow!That conveniently ended right at my Mom's house

I looked everywhere,but just couldn't find the pot of gold.

Bummer

it's a wonderful wednesday

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:43:00 +0000

...since it's been raining the whole freaking morning!I adore this type of weather,and so my mood is much better today.Although,I must say,some people at work are irritating the crap out of me,I'm trying to not let them get to me.I think I'm just way past due to get out of town a bit,and relax somewhere that's not here.

Don't get me wrong,I love our little apartment (although I hate the neighbours with a passion),but when you spend all your non-working time in a certain place,you will obviously get tired of that place.So I am looking forward to our one night out of town,which will hopefully be spent with my bestie,getting drunk and dancing our asses off while talking lots of crap,and basically just having loads of fun.

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:32:00 +0000

...was not very good.I had trouble with our stupid neighbours (who,though they are all 3 over 50,act like bratty,whiny children) and for some reason my boyfriend and I just weren't on the same page yesterday.This doesn't happen all that often,luckily,but I don't handle bad moods and confrontations well,so whenever someone else (especially my love) is in a very bad mood,it automatically turns my mood sour as well.I hate that about myself.

So I spent nearly the entire day in bed,with Maya,reading a book.The weather was perfect for that,since it rained all day long.Which is not a typical thing to happen in November in my town,so I made the best of the weather and cuddled in bed.Would've loved to have cuddled with my man,but as you read above,that didn't happen.

:(

BUT,I am hopeful this week will be better,since my sister,b-i-l,boyfriend and I are going to Cape Town on Saturday,to visit a friend for her b-day,and to celibrate my boyfriends' b-day (Nov.19) and my best friend's boyfriends' b-day (Nov.17).It's going to be a really big b-day celibration.LOL.Can't wait to see my bestie.It's already been 2 months since we've last seen each other,so I am beyond excited to see her again.There's no one else in this world who can make me as happy as she can,which is saying a lot.

It's the weather

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:22:00 +0000

I am in a much better mood today,seeing as it's not as hot as a marathon runner's balls after 20 miles,today.There's this lovely cool wind blowing,it's cloudy and kind of looks like it might rain (but I know it won't).Colder weather just lifts my mood so much,it's really weird.That's why I'm such a raging bitch basically all throughout summer,and parts of spring.

This is not from today,but it's almost what it looks like outside today.Minus the wet road.

No rain yet.Here's hoping!

Ideas!HELP!!!!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:56:00 +0000

My boyfriend is turning 31 on November 19,and I would love to do something for him.

However,seeing as I'm totally broke,I was wondering if you could give ideas for presents I could get him,or make him,that wouldn't cost me an arm or a leg.Because I have just gone blank of any good ideas.

PS.Remember that I live in a really small town,with no really big shops,so that could complicate things a little bit.

Apartment envy

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:09:00 +0000

My neighbour girl is moving to a new,bigger apartment this weekend,and I'm having serious envy issues.So much so that I spent the whole night last night,dreaming of her new apartment.In my dream,the place is like a freaking mansion,even though,in reality it's just a 2-bedroom place,with almost no windows.So basically,it sucks.

But the thing I am envious about,is that second bedroom.I want one!Just imagine,a place to put all my extra crap that I don't want people to see,so the rest of the apartment can always look neat and well put together.

A girl can dream.

What are your homes like,big,small,cluttered,neat?

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:19:00 +0000

This is what I feel like these days+

1. Today I feel...really bored with my job
2. Last night...I made a really tasty pizza and watched Lipstick Jungle
3. Currently listening to...Grooveshark.Love that site
4. Sometimes I wish...I could have lots more patience
5. What do you usually have for breakfast?Sandwhiches
6. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes
7. Do you blush easily? Yes,although I always look kind of red,so I don't think anyone really notices me blushing

I'm such a loser.Couldn't even quit blogging completely.

However,I'm back with a change.Even though I am quite scared to have people I know in real life discovering my blog,and laughing in my face about the stuff I write,I've decided to start going under my real name.Which is Juani.Nice to meet you guys,again.Strange name,I know.I sound like a guy from somewhere in South America.

So I'll see you all again off and on,when my laziness subsides long enough for me to blog about whatever boring thing I have done recently.

~~Please start reading again~~ Enjoy!

The end

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:32:00 +0000

I've decided to stop blogging completely.I've realized that I just enjoy reading all the stuff you guys write,a whole lot more than I enjoy writing my own things.

The last 10 months (give or take) have been really great,but I guess things have just taken their natural course,and it's now time to let the blog end.

I will still be reading everything you guys write (wouldn't miss that for the world).

Have a great life people,and I hope that you all will keep up your amazing blogging!

Monday Mundane Thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 07:40:00 +0000

* I was really sad yesterday (and to be honest,I still am today) because my neighbour's cat died yesterday morning.This is the older man who lost his wife only a few months ago,so this must be really tough to handle for him.He is very fond of his cats,since they are his only company at home,now that his wife is gone.I hope he's coping.

* JC and I spent the entire day with his parents,which is always a good time.We went to church in the morning (which is a very rare occasion for us,to be honest,but I really enjoyed it),and had a bbq with the yummiest salads imaginable.I might have eaten until my stomach couldn't get any bigger.But it's salad,so it's not that bad,right? :/

* JC's dad is a big fan of this card game called 'Sevens'.I've played the game with them a few times now,and still can't really remember all the rules.I lost nearly every game,but since we were playing for scores,my score ended up being the lowest over all,and so I WON!The boys were not happy about this.

* It's still 9 days before payday,and I'm actually not looking forward to it at all,since I've already worked out all the little expenses I have to pay in October,and things are not looking very rosy at all.

* One positive thing - it was the most gorgeous spring morning here.As I walked to work,the sun was just rising over the mountains,and there was still that chilly bite in the air,that's left over from winter.The perfect weather.So even though it's Monday (never the most popular day of the week for me,or anyone else for that matter) I'm feeling really good,if only about the weather.

* I watched 'Trailer Park Boys' this weekend,and though some of you might think 'WHY?!', I have to tell you,I thought it was funny.Like,they are so retarded and stupid,that they are actually really funny in the end.Also watched 'Zack and Miri make a porno',which I also thought was very funny,in a dirty kind of way.Last night,JC wanted to watch 'Gran Turino',and although it ended up not being at all what I expected from the movie,I thought it was a really good,and very touching movie.Clint Eastwood is a legend,and nobody does strong,silent,lone hero,like ole Dirty Harry.

For some reason,I'm more in love than ever this week.Strange,but nice :)

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:11:00 +0000

I asked God why I wasn't rich.
He showed me a man with the wealth of a thousand kings,
Who was lonely, and had no one to share it with.
I asked God why I wasn't beautiful.
He showed me a woman more beautiful than any other,
Who was ugly because of her vanity.
I asked God why He'd allowed me to become old.
He showed me a boy of 16, who lay dead at the scene of a car accident.
I asked God why I didn't have a bigger house.
He showed me a family of six,
Who had just been evicted from their tiny shack,
And were forced, to live on the street.
I asked God why I had to work.
He showed me a man, who couldn't find a decent job,
Because he'd never learned to read.
I asked God why I wasn't more popular.
He showed me a socialite with a thousand friends,
Who all left the moment the money and parties were no longer there.
I asked God why I wasn't smarter.
He showed me a natural born genius,
Serving life in prison for making ill use of his knowledge.
I asked God why He put up with a thankless sinner like me.
He showed me His Son who took my place at the judgment.

Awesome New Moon dream

noreply@blogger.com (Pandora) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:21:00 +0000

I had the most awesome dream last night.I dreamt the New Moon movie became real,and I got to run around with Jacob,and eventually,right before waking up (damn alarm clock),making out with him!It was completely amazing.

I apologise to all the Rob fans out there,but in my mind,he just doesn't even come close to Taylor,even though I feel like a dirty old woman,just saying that about him.

The whole dream probably started because of these.Maybe,probably...

This saying is so true!A lot of the time we complain about things,or situations,but it's really our own fault,because we choose not to do something about it.

I suck at choosing to be happy and content all the time,I wish I could be better at it.
