Last night something really hilarious happened, but let me give a little background information...
My extra large kitten sleeps on the bed. He takes more than a quarter of the bed – leaving me with a quarter.
Last night the Leprechaun put the kitten in his kitty Igloo and boing... out is kitty. He jumped straight onto my chest and first stood there for a good scratch. I think the Kitty tattle-taled on Mr Leprechaun for throwing him off the bed!

Dating questions answered
So many questions, so little time! I love getting questions... so keep ‘em coming!
Social circle... what if there are no eligible guys in your social circle. In my case the guys were either (a) short (b) was dating my friends (c) bored me to tears. Then there is also the little problem of if you date someone in your social circle and you have a nasty break-up... then you most probably will bump into him/her more often than someone from outside your friends’ group.
It never is easy to just put yourself out there – it never was easy for me, that is why I chose to go the online dating route. Apparently I never noticed when guys flirted with me in person (at clubs, bars, etc) either – I guess they felt rejected and decided to not walk up to me to actually talk to me!
In the end it doesn’t really matter where you meet your next (or last) boyfriend/girlfriend. The only thing that matters is that you meet the one that makes you happy.
- Where did you meet your fiance? Was it related to the internet dating or like so many comments I read you need to meet someone in your social circle? Does internet dating work?

- Did dating a whole lot of people make you good at dating and being more sociable? Maybe give you the confidence to put yourself out there?

- Did you ever remain friends with some of the guys on the dating web sites or was it pretty much 'let just be friends = dont call me again' - i.e. Can you use internet dating to meet friends?

Spending time together
After almost 2 years of dating the Leprechaun and I are still having fun. We have just had a long weekend and decided to stay at home with my beloved Mr MooKow.
Our first day off, get DSTV on again – after 6 months they might have new programmes one. I watch TSN and Zone Reality... and my Leprechaun... Hallmark, Action and Series.
Day two – there was a day two? I think we washed clothes and stayed in watching DSTV. Lame, I know.
Day three – awesome, we went shopping and had lunch with his mom.
Day four – put up the new clothes line and discover the new blind from Makro has no strings. Very disappointed and iffed off about that blind – returning it this weekend.
Mr MooKow (the cat) enjoyed having his minions around.
PS. Will answer the questions on Friends & Neighbours blogpost on my next post!

Friends and Neighbours
Winter definitely has arrived in all its force. It is dark by 5:30 in the afternoon and the wind has a chill that makes me reach for a jacket.
We have had quite a few hectic weeks at home with my family visiting and we are solidly booked for the next 2 weeks as well. I really don't understand the need to be social during winter. I can think of nothing better than to sit in front of the gas heater with a balnket and my favoutite Jelliebean - while the Leprechaun makes dinner.
We're good friends with our neighbours right next door and for the last 2 years we have shared break-ups, new boyfriends, tragedies and lots of coffee. Last week was definitely one of the saddest days as my neighbour's cat was killed by a speedster in the complex we live in. So, after taking the body for cremation at my vet, we were pretty upset and decided to all just have dinner together - for the first time with the new boyfriend.
So anyway, that is the small talk done. Now for some pearls of wisdom!
I can definitely see that opposites attract (sometimes). The guys are so different with Neighbour being the party animal of note and New Guy being so laid back. It just shows you that even if you dated bad boys in the past, it never is too late to let the good guys win.

Cold winter nights
It really amazes me that winter just pitched up and decided it is time for cold dark mornings and early sunsets...
Lucky for me, the Leprechaun and I have a TV in the bedroom and can cuddle comfortably - and snugly - while watching a DVD.
We've also been talking about our honeymoon a bit. Pretty cool stuff we're planning. :)

What my Leprechaun did for Mommy's Day
Men are known to be great big ogres. They don't remember birthdays, anniversaries or pretty much anything other than food.
This weekend the little Leprechaun phoned his 'Mommas', bought her a potted indoor plant, a card and invited them to the movies to see Dirty Dancing on the big screen. Just to top it off he made a potjie (stew on a outdoor fire or gas cooker) for 6 - and it was delicious.
I must admit that I'm the one that can't remember anniversaries. I can remember birthdays - and I buy great gifts most of the time.

Things people say
Today I took my visiting sister, bro-in-law and child shopping. During the day the conversation turned to my bathroom... yeah I know... pretty weird.
So anyway, the kid said that she needed to go to the bathroom and then my evil side somehow kicked in... I said to her that I didn't like people using my toilet. She then asked where the Leprechaun goes (haha... ). The very smart answer: He has to go outside and dig a little hole and as soon as he is done he has to cover it - just like my cat!
The day goes by and I didn't think about it again until a few hours later when she asked with big eyes where she should go! (haha...) We then explained that I was only joking and that she can use the toilet.
An hour later the Leprechaun used the toilet and she came running to tell me that he was in there! Imagine the good laugh I had about my private toilet that I don't share with my live-in FIANCE.

Who's the man?
The Leprechaun is!
I love April with all its public holidays. All the looooong weekends have given us time to do some DIY projects. Today we bought the wood to build an additional cupboard. The Leprechaun has put it together and I have stain varnished it to fit with the rest of my furniture, unfortunately we need another tin and a bit of varnish to complete it... SIGH. I can't wait to put all my sexy little shoes on the bottom shelf. I think it is going to be great.
I really appreciate that my little Leprechaun can do DIY stuff... and know what he is doing. Ja, ja, I can hear you... so can't you do it Suzy? Of course I can, afterall, he used my tools. Tools that I know how to use, but here goes the pearl of wisdom...
Girls, take note... Let the man in the house swing the tools. I don't know why, but it makes them feel manly.

Can beggars be choosers?
Yes! Definitely!
Why do people think that when you are single you can't choose to wait until you've met the right person? I don't think there is anything wrong with being 30 and not married. A piece of paper won't really make such a big difference in your life - unless it is a ticket to some exotic destination.
Who wants to be in a relationship just for the sake of being in a relationship anyway? A warm body in bed that you don't care for = a can of rotten peas, but a warm body that you care for = someone to share that last rolo with!
Another reason to rather be a chooser... the high rate of divorces.
Anyway, so I got a comment on my previous post... and the person thinks I'm single. Ok, so the cat has been out of the bag for... um oh well, more than a year - I'm engaged. Have been for more than a year now... to my Leprechaun.

Don't Date Down
Yeah, you know what I mean... dating down is a no-no.
Simple Scenario:
X dates Y
X is not rich, but smart as hell
Y is rich, but dumb as hell
X is thus the one dating down. Y is dating up (which is completely acceptable).
Anyone can make or loose money, thus Y is actually no better/richer than X.
So, get your priorities straight and look for someone that is on your intelligence level. If a social level is more important... then get someone on your level.
