I want Anne Hathaway's dress!

This year I must really make a plan and start planning the wedding. The poor farmer probably thinks I do not want to marry him anymore!

At least I have a venue, but still no idea about THE dress...

In 2009 Anne Hathaway wore this exquisite white gown by Azzaro to a red carpet event. It was embellished at the neck and waist with diamante.

Plain and simple (if you can call Azzaro plain) and it looks comfortable too. That is the main thing for me. Want to be comfy on the day and DO NOT want to look like a princess turned hooker. This dress is perfect, I only need earrings. (Not a huge bracelet and necklace person)

Love it!

Power Balance Band Scam explained in Afrikaans

By now most of you have probably heard about the Power Balance Scheme. Nothing explains it better than this article I received by email. Unfortunately it is in Afrikaans and I do apologise to the English readers.

Dit is uitstekend. Ek moes dit post! Griffin van  www.watkykjy.co.za het laat weet dat hierdie artikel van hulle webwerf af kom. Gaan loer bietjie na hulle site. Uitstekende Afrikaans humor. Hulle het ook 'n boek geskryf, "Is dit net ek of is als Tos". Koop dit!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Wil jy dalk 'n ponzi of pyramid scheme afpull? Check, baie mense het dit al reggekry, maar hulle is nog elke keer uitgevang omdat daar altyd iemand is wat snuf in die neus gekry het, of beeskak 'n myl ver kan ruik. Wat jy nodig het is heavy fokken gullible mense. Mense wat Power Balance armbandjies dra…
Die Power Balance hologram armbandjie werk min of meer so: Jy gee iemand (kom ons noem hom sommer 'n skelm) R500 vir 'n stuk kak wat jy om jou arm dra en jy glo vas dat jou paling langer gaan raak, jou tiete fermer gaan span of jou selluliet teen jou bene gaan afloop as jy weer 'n stort vang.

Jy is heel moontlik met 'n dom sales pitch gevang in 'n shopping centre. Een of ander jafel het jou armpies laat uitstrek en die een arm afgedruk en toe p**s jy neer. Toe sit hy 'n armbandjie om en toe hy dit weer doen, toe bly jy regop. Fokken awesome. Probeer miskien die volgende: gaan verkoop bandjies wat p**sklappe vermy. Maak iemand voor jou staan, bene teen mekaar. Klap hom van sy voete af. Sit nou 'n haar rekkie om sy arm. Swaai weer 'n appel. Wat? Die ou het gekoes? Jirre, hierdie rekkies is die fokken shit!

Jy raak half spyt dat jy R500 spandeer het op 'n armbandjie, maar jy het klaar face verloor, so jy sal aanhou stry dat dit werk omdat jy soos 'n doos voel. Especially omdat jy nie bewyse het nie. "Nee, maar ek voel vreeslik goed vandat ek die Power Blance dra. Regtig. My voorvel lyk ook beter!" Genuine? Jy het nie dalk per ongeluk Special K getand vir brekvis en 'n gemaklike onderbroek aangetrek toevallig vanoggend nie? Of miskien net minder gedrink of zol gerook nie?

Power Balance werk amper soos 'n placebo – jy kan dit soos placebo boudpille in jou hol opdruk en fokol sal gebeur. Die beste van alles is dat daar ook nie fake armbandjies is nie. Alles is fokken fakes. Die sogenaamde rip-offs ook. Of jy nou R500 of R150 daarvoor betaal. Soos daai fokken koper armbande in die 90's wat glo die toxins uit jou lyf trek. "Check, ek het gisteraand gedrink. Nou kyk hier om my arm. Sien jy daai groen? Dis die armband wat die toxins uit my lyf trek!". Ummh, jou arm is groen omdat koper afgee en omdat jy nie gebad het nie, jou fokken stink hippie!

Die beste kans dat die armband jou lyf gaan balanseer is wanneer jy hom gaan vas staple aan daai stukkie vleis tussen jou ballas en jou hol sodat hy mooi simmetries in die middel hang – daar by jou "tjommie" of jou "goos".

Hang nou 'n baksteen van die ding af en staan stil. Jy check? Jy fokken balance. -handeklap- Mooi man! Wag nou so drie dae vir die Power Balance om jou wond te heel. As jou hol afval van infeksie, dan werk die donnerse ding nie regtig nie.

Relatiewe bekende fools wat die stuk kak om hulle arms dra sluit mense in soos:
F1 driver driver Rubens Barrichello wat die Formule 1 hierdie jaar danksy Power Balance gewen het. O nee wag, ek praat kak. Dit was Sebastian Vettel wat gewen het. Met skill, jy check?

Akteur Russell Crowe wat danksy sy Power Balance nie sy aksent kon regkry vir Robin Hood nie. Hy moes seker die Ierse Power Balance gekoop het met direct injection, want hy klink soos 'n Ier met 'n spraakgebrek.

The Biggest Loser in Australie se trainer Shannan Ponton. Biggest loser? Need I say more?

Dit laat my ook wonder oor Lee-Anne Liebenberg en haar tjommies wat R75000 se champagne gesuip het by Caprice in die Kaap en claim dat hulle nie dronk was nie. Hulle het almal seker fokken awesome Power Balance bandjies gedra en vergeet om dit af te haal.

Aanhou stry, sal die Power Balance dissipels. Daar sal onteenseglik bewys word (indien nie al klaar nie) dat duisende mense op planeet aarde vir 'n doos gevat is, en dit vir 'n armbandjie. In fact, ek dink Australia is klaar besig om mense te refund. Raak ontslae van jou vriende wat hierdie kak hou, maar los een ou met 'n bandjie in die vriendekring. Dis altyd handy om iemand onnosel te misbruik om jou bier aan te dra of jou kar te was. Of as dit 'n chick is, om heeltyd haar boobs vir almal te flash…

Ongelukkig sal daar altyd mense wees wat val vir sulke kak, maar ek is nou besig om my tyd hier te mors. Ek moet gaan uitgedroogde, wit hondekak soek wat ek kan goud spray om as time-travelling amulets te verkoop. R450. Wie is in?

Ek sal vir jou een uithou, hoor …

Disgusted

On Sunday morning I found a freaking tick nestled between my second and third toes. I can not describe how disgusted I was. It did not help that the farmer laughed his ass off. I mean shit, I come from the city, where things like this DO NOT happen. So how did this happen?

On Saturday we had a power outage because lightening struck our electricity box.  This means that I could not shower and wash between my toes as usual. We had to wash Voortrekker style with a cloth and soap in the basin! So on Sunday when all was back to normal, first thing I did was hit the shower, took off my nail polish and saw a little "pebble" between my toes. Yeah right, pebble... On Monday the doctor was phoned and I am now on anti-biotics just for in case. No symptoms of fever yet, but my toe is swollen and it's itching like mad!

My mother is in more of a state than I am and is phoning me hourly to check if I am okay. May this be a lesson. I am still in a state.


Happy weekend!

The games people play

Since I got my Blackberry, I have been in games heaven. Word Mole is one of my favourites, but last week I discovered another "evil" game. The farmer is now addicted too, and we are fighting over my Blackberry and who's turn it is to play .... wait for it....

Texas Holdem poker!
Not one of us are gamblers or even visit a casino, but this game is ruling the house at the moment!
(If you want to give it a go on the Internet or on your mobile, check out the rules here.)
Gambling is for over 18's only and real money should not be used!!

The Holidays are over

Sadly the holidays have come to an end and even sorrier to say that I think I need another holiday.

Woke up this morning and thought puppy Diezel was busy dying. One of the bigger Boerboels bit him (do not know who the culprit is) and he screamed like a bush pig. Luckily he is okay.

As you know Eloise and her hubby was here for Christmas and New Year and we had a fabulous time. The house is very quiet without them. Eloise bought the farmer a swimming pool and guess who thought it was his!?

Vegter loving it!
The farmer also took our guests to the Korente River dam in Riversdale....

Eloise getting ready for some tjoop fun
Bliksem is SO scared of Diezel and this is a rare moment. Both were sleeping and Blikke did not realise that puppy was so close!


I love Jagermeister and nearly had a heart attack when I saw this in Heidelberg's main road...


To those who are back at work today, you are not alone. And to those who are still on holiday, I hate you enjoy!
