Concussions and cushions.
What a day... Eventful but scary as SHIT!
Summer range 2012 is coming along swimmingly.... But just when we seem to get our minds around one thing, we have to go and make a whole lotta new things to manage and get done in like the LEAST TIME POSSIBLE!
It's very exciting tho, some new challenges, always keeping us on the edge and learning and adapting. Change is good right, like they say.... Holidays and change are one in the same.... Ones just cheaper...
Avant's Summer Collection is going to be so great, and I don't just mean that from a bias point of view, but an honest heartfelt place, like it's been growing and developing just bursting to be shown off, the pieces are so fun and flirty, confident, brand strong and will look so cute as part of a wardrobe. I want one of each! Hell make it 2!!!
Ok, just had to explain to myself out loud while typing exactly why we are piling the work on less than a month before deadline.... Ya, that's what I thought.
In slightly humorous and completely unrelated events, I dropped my BlackBerry on my face... Shhhhh don't tell anyone. It hurt, my nose is still watering where it got hit with raging brut force "BBAAAAAAAMM"
How many times does it have to happen before you actually have to strap your arms to the side of your body to prevent concussion.
I have 5 cushions all to myself tonight.
I still can't upload photos.
I love Vampire Weekend.
That's all.
Out.

The smell of candle wax is long overdue!
Lights are off..... Nobody (except me and my fierce chihuahua) is home, I have the candles burning away to my left, and the howling wind knocking at the window on the right. I'm all warm and snug in bed..... And I have an iPad with 42% battery. Not too sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing..... But I'm gonna go with good thing..... At least an hour or so of blogging and music time....hopefully more.... Maybe I'll start typing slower, that's sure to make the battery last longer...right? No?
I forget how peaceful candle light can be, the soft flickering flame... The smell of the wick meaningfully dissolving the wax.... Good for the soul I say!
Ok so this is super frustrating and COMPLETELY spoiling my docile and completely relaxed mood... I can't upload pictures to my blog post from my iPad OR the web... Like HELLLOOOOOOOOO stupid annoying technology/ Internet / iPad / brain to finger functionality..... Gash, all I wanted was to add some mood and set the tone of the relaxed state I am in..... But nooooo people don't want to see pictures Lauren... They just want to see you waffle on for hours with no visual stimulation WHAT SO EVER. I'm so glad that you seem to think I am that entertaining without a little visual enhancement... But I don't.... So thanks for nothing.
Until the next time, and till I find out what the finger liking good is going on here.... Until then...
YOU SUCK. STUPID WHATEVER IS WRONG!
Aaaaahhhhhh the smell of candlessssss...... Woooohsaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
:-)

Random waffling ons............. Yawizzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
This is fun... New iPad..... BONUS! Now I can possibly...... (take note) POSSIBLY, start blogging again.... But it's doubtful... I dunno, maybe not... This freaking iPad types like a dream... Ddrreeaammmmmmmm. Mmmmmmm. Yummy! So fun. I could waffle on all day...... Night......... Hour........ Wow this is fun.
Ok, forealzies now, blog time....
SO many fun things have happened in the last couple of weeks.... I TOTALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN BORN WITH ONE OF THESE IN MY HANDS MAN... It's the only way.... I'm useless! Depressing I know as I have so much of fun stories to share... they become pretty useless in my head....
You know that feeling when some one shows you something, and you like don't really like it at all..... And you don't want to hurt their feelings.... Ya.... That's all, it feels like it's happening more and more often... How does one fix that? I wonder.
Type type type... Like a dream I tell you...
Went to Mozambique last week. It was cold. #fail.
Ok, I'm being dramatic, but it was not December weather, I was looking forward to December weather.... Hot-sweaty-I can barely breathe coz it's so humid kind of weather. I actually had to sleep under a duvet.... And a blanket.... AND a sheet??? WTF. (mean while back in joburg at the same time, ppl are dying coz winters coldest front just made it's debut.... And it's threatening to snow....)
I didn't know this ok.... Gosh.... Don't judge me.... aight?
I was just cold and miserable.... No body warned me about this so I obviously packed according to December standards.... Nothing.... Summer dresses and that's it.
I felt like a hobo orphan the whole holiday, I must have looked a sight. I had to LAYER summer dresses...... Cringe....
I made a plan tho.... I pretended not to notice..... Then nearly drove off a cliff on a four wheeler... NO JOKE.
We went on an exciting quad tour around Tofo and surrounding homesteads and beaches.... Exciting - being the part where I missed the 17trees I was headed strait for, and skidding toward a sheer drop while trying to steer right, but going left instead.... Straight for the ocean... I dunno... My brain can't do the left right steer thing... Give me a wheel any day..... I convinced the team I was just checking out the view and smiled. (I was SHAT myself inside)
I was swiftly told to go in from of my boyfriend.... I don't blame him, you should have seen his face.... Like a kid who just who just discovered that Father Christmas ain't real! Ha haaaaa!
Oooo well that's that for today.... It all was a lot funnier when it was happening. Or maybe I'm just tired and being a useless story relayer... Or maybe I just like typing on this ROCKING iPad and could type all night about random crap without taking a break or a breath and just carry on forever till I possibly pass out from not breathing while typing and..... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
Out.
In.
Today is a weird day... A day of realizations and facing facts...
Fact número UNO: stabbing pain in the heart...
When you do what you love, you love what you do but you don't make nearly enough money to live... So in turn you get all miserable and depro about how shitty life is and it all goes down hill from there..
Fact número duo: Stinging pain in the brain....
When you work in corporate or doing something that makes the cash, but prevents you from wanting to wake up in the morning because it is the last thing on earth you want to be doing..... You wonder.... How do you get the perfect balance?
There has to be a way... There just has to.
Life is for living and enjoying and being able to love and be loved in return...
We have to believe this. We have to make it part of our daily consciousness
I know so many people who hate what they do, but earn a decent salary tho make the shitty days easier. And they seem to be alive and kicking. So I ask you... What am I doing wrong, following my dream with no secure future, or taking a chance on life and hoping with all my heart it returns the favor?
So this one Friday, this one weekend, a couple of weeks ago... I like totally stood too close to a speaker........ I still can't hear anything out of my left ear..... #deafinoneear

Stick Men rule the world!
I have decided that shopping in Capetown is like shopping overseas!! The clothes here are so different to the items in Joburg in the exact same stores. AND there are so many awesome little shops here that are just so international. Love it!
Definitely going to follow up and do some research and try get Avant into some of them! YAY!
Also.... Pictionary...... the maker and breaker of all relationships... ha ha.
Played Pictionary last night and it actually got quite intense BRO! who wudda thought??
At least Tom and I have a little more insight into each others drawing skills and know exactly what NOT to draw when trying to explain a Habit, Ambush, Handicap.... (I could go on)
Oh and by the way.. little stick men rule the world! They were EVERYWHERE last night! Sneaky little guys those.
Another thing I have noticed, do not eat chocolate chip cookies when playing..... they disappear....
Must be those little stick men again.
In conclusion:
Chocolate-chip-cookie-stealing-stick-men rule the world! FACT.
