I came across some old dance videos from when I was tiny and my dad was kind enough to convert them to DVD for me. Here are some screen shots I took. I think I was in grade 2.

We all hate being overwhelmed. And many people find themselves using the phrase “Overworked and under payed”, as it’s often the way they really feel.

I’m not overwhelmed yet, but I’m getting there and I would appreciate any relaxation tips. I’m just trying to avoid what could be a disaster.

Sometimes I feel as if I’m just giving, giving, giving, and never getting anything back.

Gotta keep smiling!

I was tagged (Sex and The Travelling Satchel) to show what’s inside my current bag. I couldn’t believe how much I could fit into a single bag and I’m sure you may find it difficult to believe too.
The Rules:
1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you can’t go into your closet and pull out your favorite purse! We want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house.
2. List how much it cost. And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, we’d love to hear it.
3. Show us what’s in your purse. Spill it out! Take pictures! Tell us what it is!
4. Tag some chicks.

So here it is. My bag.

I got this bag for Valentines day from Matt. It’s from Kitch and Kool. I had been eyeing it for ages (which Matt had no idea about) and he just thought it was kitch and I would love it. I think the bag was on sale for R60.

On my way to the studio with my oh-so-lovely bag.

Take a look inside!

Contents:
Starting with the books on the Left side (at the top); Orange pocket folder with important studio stuff, Gold note book with class registers and timetables, another folder with dance info, Grants Atlas of Anatomy (need to study of by heart for my Pilates Teaching Qualification).
On Top of the books; a orange ruler/bookmark/paperclip thingy and dance paws.
The books in the right corner (at the bottom); a red notebook, my Moleskine diary and Shakespeare’s “King Henry iv”.
Left Bottom; a pink cashmere scarf that my cousin bought me, two phones, my purse, keys, a hair clip, pretty polka dot tissues, hair brush, blemish stick and compact face powder.
All the rest; a oh-so-pretty polka dot and beetle tin CD case, my pencil case, a water bottle, nivea cream, 2 glasses cases, my ever-so-small new black Accessorize umbrella and another little bag.
Lets take a closer look:

My beautiful CD case, given to me for Christmas by Matt's mom.

Flower power! It's tiny but holds a lot...that's why I love it. The key ring on the zipper is a porcelain clog from Holland.

Lovely purse/wallet that resembles a clutch bag and my Nokia E71.

What's in this one?

Contents of the little green bag (from left to right, starting at the top). Plasters, eye drops, emergency sewing kit,Honeysuckle refresher spritz, tiny travel perfume holder, tampon case, E. Funkhouser eye base, Mirror, painkillers, many hair clips and ties, lip ice (blue round thing), E. Funkhouser red lip gloss, Glitter eyeliner, red lipstick and eye gel from the body shop.

Red case to hold my Aviators and the beautiful silver case is for my brown, turquoise, and white glasses. You gotta love em.

SwissTwist (as I think she has beautiful bags)
And EVERYONE ELSE who would love to take part. Hope you have as much fun doing this as I did.
As an English Major I find these rather amusing and somewhat true.

True Love
I had a really wonderful Valentines day this year. Matt surprised me with a trip to Dullstroom where we went horse riding, fishing, picnicking and had lovely pancakes.
I hope that everyone else had a great time this Valentines as well. Here are some photies from our trip.

Isn't this stunning?

Matt got the slow and lazy horse.

He has such luck. Again the only one to catch anything that day.

The Estate that we went fishing on.
Yes, many people can split. Yes, many people can touch their toes. Yes, many people can lift weights. BUT, can many people at this age? This woman has left me puzzled. I am not sure whether to admire her or whether I should be completely grossed out. Either way what she does is amazing for someone at her age. No, it’s amazing for most normal people. I know many people that can’t even touch their toes (maybe these images are the reason why though).

As many people may know, from previous blog posts and from twitter, my car breaks down rather often. This is partly because it’s a 1964 Beetle and partly because sometimes, I think, it just doesn’t feel like going.
I had another one of these incidents on Monday. This caused 45 minutes of boredom and me missing a lecture.

Broken Down

This is what you call bored

At least I get to show off my car and my vintage polka dot skirt

When all else fails, call on your red lipstick.
Later the same day Daisy, that’s my cars name, decided to work again. You gotta love her!
Like most woman I have a soft spot for chocolate. Not just any chocolate though, I like the good stuff! Mainly dark chocolate. My aunt got back from visiting the family in Spain and brought us some, oh-so-lovely, TRUFFLES. The real deal!
I really don’t want to share them. If there is one thing that can turn me nasty it’s this – I want them all to myself.

Pure Heaven
We don’t get stuff this good in South Africa, do we? Please if we do tell me because I can’t find it!
