The Lady Hooligan’s Page

I have just realized that I’m on my own for more than 70% of the week! No wonder I’m slowly going crazy! (I’m not rich enough to be labeled “eccentric” - yet!)

I do need a cat. At least that’s someone to talk to who sometimes answers back! When he feels like it, obviously! I’ll get one first thing when I move into my new place. Maybe a Maine Coon. Maine Coons are cool. They eat miniature dobermann pinchers… <Evil Grin>

My sugardaddyperson and I visited the building site today. I just wanted to show him where the flat was going to be and how far the building process had progressed. He has never been at the site before, even though he helped me with a lot of legal paperwork regarding the purchasing of the apartment. And he’s very enthusiastic about the progress as well.

The official completion date is the end of October 2010. Let’s hold fums.

I wish I could take credit for those words, but to my knowledge they were first penned by Wilbur Smith in his novel A Sparrow Falls…  He used it to describe how big poachers become fired up for nature conservation, but I’ve seen it literally happen quite a few times already.  It is as if the worst fornicators become the most pious of preachers once they find religion.

And before I get crucified, I have no beef with Christianity or any other religion for that matter.  I am a Christian myself!  I just find it very interesting to watch this phenomenon and I always wonder how long it’ll take before the Bible verses stop…

I had to arrange for our 14 year old Ridgeback/Boerboel cross to be put down this morning.  It wasn’t fun.  Yes, Boela had cancer and we all knew it would just be a matter of time, but he took a very sudden turn for the worse last night.

It’s always bad when animal family pass on.  I’ll really miss him when I get home in the afternoons, as he was always first at the car, begging for sweeties.  And he could slobber you to death no problem!  We always had to look out for our clothes…

One of the requirements of the National Credit Act is that banks have to inform and train the public about how loans work and what their rights and responsibilities are in respect to those loans.  The result is that I had to attend a Home Loan workshop yesterday.

Yes, I was the “token pinky”, but one of quite a lot of women!  Seems like single women take on a lot of responsibility these days.

What this piece is all about, is a big, black man of about 50.  He was loud, obnoxious and he accused me of being racist and Apartheid-minded.  I’m neither.  (I’m spietkopsist, if anything!)  It was quite interesting that he also gave the facilitator a bit of mouth.  That is, until Mpai silenced him with some choice words.  He was going on about how he knew everything, because he was an estate agent for the past FOUR YEARS!  And then he demonstrated his ignorance in front of the whole group of about 25!  Ouch!

I am a firm believer that everything in life happens for a purpose.  The years I spent in my dad’s office came to good use yesterday, as I knew about most of the costs and what they were for.  I had my questions answered as well!  The ones I asked, as well as the ones I didn’t.

I’m waiting for the place to be built, now.  Concrete slab should be in place by next Friday! Yippppeeeeeeee!

World Cup 2010 is over!  The media touts it as a resounding success, but I reckon only time will tell whether it had any lasting positive effect or not.  I reckon it will have, as more people from more countries now know where South Africa IS and what we have to offer.

However, I’m a bit depressed at the moment.  It’s like when you were on a camp, and it was wonderful, but now it’s over…  There has to be a “What Next?” to look forward to!

So, my dear country, what’s next?

Here’s the personal ad that caused a lot of stir on Facebook.  It was originally created and posted by Kim Mann, but I have taken it over for my own use and adapted it a little… Let’s see what pans out…

Wanted: Single white guy, 35 - 39, 5′11″+, athletic to average build. Needed for friends with benefits. No cohabitation, no wedding ring necessary, must enjoy nature. Honesty, trust, dignity, courtesy, respect a necessity. Must be able to support himself financially. If we have a physical connection, a test drive will be obligatory. Mind blowing sex is a pre-requisite. It could potentially turn into a long term arrangement.

Thanks, Kim!

Finally, the building process has started!  The scaffolding went up again this week and with luck the concrete slab will be poured by the weekend!  Unfortunately I won’t be here to see it done, but I’ll take a pic on Monday.

Scaffolding up!

This blog has been running for the past two years.  I don’t know how many of my initial objectives I have reached, strangely enough.  Maybe I should get some objectives that are more concrete and start measuring THEM!

What drives me nuts, however, is the sheer volume of spam that I receive from people in Russia.  I am NOT interested in cheap Viagra, Cialis or any other prescription medication and while I do like to watch porn sometimes, I do not want to promote it in my blog!  Well, maybe that’s a measurement… Hmmm…

I’ll see.  Looking forward to the next two years of blogging!
