Things I Love At This Moment.
Posted on April 13, 2009 in I heart.
We all know that you go through stages in your life when you love various things. Here are a few of the things I am loving at this moment. Some of these things are long-term-loves rather than just at the moment loves but they belong on this list too.
1. My Boyfriend (long-term-love) who constantly comes to check up on me when I am sick.
By the way i have food poisoning from KFC. This is not fun people, especially as I don’t have time for this food poisoning. I have deadlines to reach and now they must be reached from my sick bed.
2. My oh-so-cute hat and fingerless/mitten gloves.
3. Weekends away in Dullstroom.
4. My COMPLETE series of Sex and The City box set (long-term-love, Hat). I have longed for this box set for three years and after waiting and hinting at birthdays and christmas’ and not receiving I decided to treat myself to it. I now can’t treat myself to anything for the next few months but that is besides the point.
5. Buying my friends gifts. I love buying birthday presents and watching people open them. I think I love it even more than receiving gifts.
6. Emily over at Cupcakes and Cashmere. I just love her blog.
7. Incense and Candles while sitting in bed watching Sex and The City.
8. A good cup of coffee.
9. My dog, Grishko.
Winter Is Here
Posted on April 5, 2009 in Misfits.
Ok, so it’s suddenly winter. How do I know this? Well there are a few tell-tale signs. It’s suddenly chilly (not just in the mornings, but rather throughout the day). The South African sun is a lot brighter (Have you South Africans ever realised that you need sunglasses a lot more in winter than in summer? It’s a different type of sunshine). My skin is suddenly dry – I hate this about winter in the high-veld (when this happens I know it’s really winter). My dog just wants to cuddle under the blankets, she also doesn’t get hot halfway through the night and climb out instead she cuddles tight up against me. I find myself attracted to scarfs and gloves in the shops.
So winter came early this year – in my opinion. I also think that winter is going to be very cold this year. I love winter (other than the dry skin part) and after a long and hot summer I can’t wait for winter to return. I love the winter clothes and accessories. I love layering. I love fingerless gloves, mittens and a combination of the two. I love gumboots and hats.
Winter is a great time of year. I heard somewhere that there is no horrible weather just a different kind of lovely weather. Winter is just another kind of lovely weather to me.
Please tell me, what you love about winter? If you don’t like winter tell me what you prefer to winter.
