Weekend ADD

Saturday

Woke up at 07h00, seriously now, what the hell is wrong with my body clock?

Watched TV until 10h00 and tried to read. I’m suffering from a serious case of readers block and can’t read more than 3 pages of a book at a time. Starting to get worried.

12h00 my friend A called to remind me about lunch. I sprang out of bed, I still needed to go drop off some of my sister’s stuff before I joined A for lunch. The pressure! Finally dressed and out the door by 12h50 and then I noticed that I was seriously low on gas. The first garage I stopped at didn’t have any unleaded petrol so I drove off to the next one. I thought the strike was over? Not? They only have 93 unleaded; it had to do because I was not about to petrol shop. But my car likes 95 unleaded so I decided not to fill her up until I could get 95 unleaded, BUT the petrol attendant decided that he heard me say “fill-her up”, really dude: DRAMA. Thanks goodness I checked before it was full of 93. Got to my sister at about 13h15, she was preparing to go to the big soccer game and wanted me to help her decide what to wear. Dashed off at 13h40 and made it to lunch at the Club. No, not THAT Club, the country club. There’s a nice spot (Da Vinci Alfresco) that’s perfect for mothers with kids or, in my case, aunties who like jumping castles :-) There were kids everywhere! Had a nice Chicken Cajun pizza with Avo and my latest fizzy drink crush Fanta Grape. E brought her son M, A brought her son A and AK brought her nephew.  Me? I brought my pink slouchy bag. Too cool for school :-) Also got to check out the activity at the bottom field – prepping for the 2011 All Africa Polo Tournament. I actually think I am scared of horses. I couldn’t even pet the horsey A’s little cutie was transfixed by; I just kept looking at its hind legs and thinking about what they are capable of (remember Superman?). I’m telling you that one even looked like it was looking at me cross eyed *suuus-pect*.

Sunday

Damn KL and that Jilly Cooper for piquing my interest. KL is, was a friend of mine? Don’t know because I haven’t seen him in forever. KL is a polo player and used to explain all the stuff, how the game is played, the best horses blah blah blah. I just wanted to know about those foiiine Argentinean players and still do (he he).

I was supposed to go to the Polo but didn’t have VIP parking access or a VIP ticket – late hustling tendencies (the late bloomer plan was to make a picnic out of it but I’m spoilt, I like VIP) also, the thought of all those cars trying to get in just put me off – me, I like things but carmageddon on a Sunday, no thank you. Plus, I woke up late and missed the first church service, so I had to go to the later service and by then all I wanted to do was take a nap. So what did I do? Lazed around in bed the whole day eating ghost pops and having some of those fab Lindor balls. I only got up to make myself some food at about 15h00. Read my magazine stack from last month – I hadn’t gotten to reading last month’s Woman and Home magazine and thereafter started tackling this month’s stack (read Marie Claire and salivated through the Food & Home Magazine). Watched a bit of TV but couldn’t concentrate for more than 10 minutes at a time, do I have ADD? Restless Mind Syndrome? There’s Restless Leg Syndrome but is there Restless Mind Syndrome? Slept at 23h00 (I was supposed to be asleep by 21h00) – Do I have Insomnia and ADD? Damn.
