THERE IS A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING

I have been threatening to do this for ages. And yes, true to form, it was the usual Crazii Redhead saying things like, “I think I should do this because… etc etc” which went on for ages, chewed many a friends ear off and still managed not to produce anything. So here it is Peeps, my first official blog entry. One of many to come I assure you… sometimes… when I have time… and am not reading other people’s blogs and doing that nasty bit of time-consuming malarkey called work. Don’t get me wrong, I am the poster child for someone who enjoys her job, but lets be honest here, it’s kind of extensive and nobody ever has a 100% enjoyment factor!

Talking about time consuming… I’ve been training for a marathon. I know, I know, crazy talk. But seriously, this running shit takes up time. And not the kind of time you would ordinarily be awake in either. I mean who in their right mind wakes up at 5am in the death of a Cape Town winter to don tight black spandex pants, a long sleeve water proof top (well that’s what the label says but it was obviously tested in a climate THAT DOES NOT RAIN!) and gloves only to vacate their beautifully under floor heated house to sweat!!!??? I ask you! And yes Thunder Struck (my bestest girl friend) I can hear you sniggering at the spandex and sweat comment! I have started to question my own sanity quite severely, but it is just too late to give up now. I’ll be damned if I don’t run this crazy thing on Sunday after putting myself through FOMO hell (fear of missing out). Yes, I’m telling you, the number of awesome parties/events/drunken piss ups I have had to give up for this insane cause are just too many to count and I will not have missed them for nothing!

So Peeps, as this Crazii Redhead heads for the blister filled arena of marathon runners, spare a thought for her lost sanity and please for the sake of all things bubbly, make sure you have a glass of champagne in hand come Sunday, 27th September 2009 at 11:30am!
