Nee Nee Nee... Daai kite gaan nie vlieg nie.
The first thing I refuse to believe is that anyone can get out of bed before 06:00. In June, this is an ungodly hour. The world is as dark as the night and even nocturnal animals are still prancing around in their portion of the day. I cannot participate. I usually raise my right arm to reach as far as it can go and the temperature difference between my bed and the air in my room is a fate I am not able to confront. I wont event start talking about the toilet seat...
Then there is the lie about a morning exercise routine. I just will not buy this. Exchanging comfy pj's for spandex and driving to gym? Putting on a Verimark Zumba DVD " and that's not all ", or worse hitting the road for a jog? Puh-lease , lets get real ! Why would anybody volunteer for this. To me it is right up the alley with Chinese torture.
Nee Nee Nee...Daai skou gaan nie wys nie. Nie op hierrie stasie nie.
The bit that gets me the most though is the food fib. Come on ! You telling me that people out there are mixing cold milk and pink dust for a shake in seven degree temperatures?
Even the little bear's portion could never be 'just right'.
So, this is how things are in my house in Winter. I hit the snooze the button and suck that last five minutes for all its worth. I run a bath, a hot one, and I sit in it while I have my first cup of coffee. I pray and ease myself into the day. I layer my body with grease and cotton for proper insulation. I gather food like a dray of squirrels (yes I googled it) . If it is soft, creamy and requires hours of cooking I've got it. There's no calorie counting here!
I don't mess with Winter.
If there is some truth to this 'Summer bodies are made in Winter' myth then the opposite will have to be apply for me. My winter body is made in summer...
