Happy happy birthday darling!!!! May you have an absolutely fantastic day, may you be spoiled beyond your wildest dreams and may all your wild dreams come true! I pray that you'll be blessed beyond comprehension in the year to come and that you will continue to grow along this amazing journey that is your life:)
In the last 8 and a half years you have become my second mother. When i first moved to jhb 4.5 years ago (can you believe it's been that long????) you guys offered to let me stay in your house as part of your family while i find my feet and look for a proper place to stay. And even before that, while i was at uni, i used to drive to jhb once a month for a visit, as my own parents were too far away to make regular visits like that.
I lived with you for 6 months at minimum rent, which i insisted on as you wouldn't accept any money from me at first. I became your other daughter, an older sister and a comrade and confidant and most of all I became part of the family:) My parents were grateful that I wasn't living in the big bad city all on my own. You and my mom are so much alike that sometimes I find the resemblances uncanny.
Even after I moved out and until this very day I still join your family for dinner twice a week, I come home to a sunday lunch, I spoil the 3 cousins like they are my little sisters and I enjoy sharing my heart with you and my plans with my uncle. I know that I'm welcome at any time of the day or night and that you don't mind if i just pop in for a cup of coffee when i need a bit of advice or just a hug because my Mommy is so far away.
I love you guys so much, and I'm grateful for family like you in my life:) Happy birthday again darling! I love you!!!
Love
Ruby

Dear Vodacom
According to this and this we now have to register our sim cards. Now don't get me wrong. I understand why it is necessary to ensure that you have details of people buying sim cards. I've been victim of a stalker for such a long time, and because he keeps using prepaid sim cards he bought for 99c there is nothing anybody can do about it, so seriously, I get it.
I even understand the fact that current prepaid users should come into a Vodacom outlet to register their sim card. What I don't understand though, is why on earth current vodacom users who are on contract need to come in and register their sim cards. You're kidding me right?? I mean, when i applied for the contract I had to give you a copy of my ID, a utility bill as proof of residence, my full names(which is silly since you already have a copy of my ID) and a whole bunch of other things. Now why on earth would I need to come into a Vodacom outlet to give you copies of documents and a list of information you've already got?

Ruby

Dear Klein Kariba
Thank you so much for having us this weekend!!! We had so much fun. Lots of wine was consumed, lots of games were played, which included a lot of singing - to the entertainment of some of your other guests - and good friendships were once again sealed and deepened:)
I apologize if you received any complaints about the singing, but you see, one of the gentleman in our party made a rule during one of our games that every time you wanted to drink something you had to stand and sing a part of a song first. Needless to say, some of the people went slightly overboard with the singing...it was like Idols auditions times 2000!
It was awesome! We will certainly be joining you again soon

Dear Kalahari
It came!!!! Thank you so much for your speedy service in my hour of absolute mindless want:) Actually, to be fair, the books arrived last week, but due to my "at death's door" state of health, I was forced to let it stay at the post office until today. Here you can see the whole process of unwrapping my little package of joy. If you look carefully you'll notice the Twilight DVD in the background...I swear this was not on purpose, I only realised it afterwards.
Join me on my journey of discovery, opening the package and unpacking the books.....it's a beautiful box set with with lithographs and everything. *happy sigh*

Ruby

Dear Female slave
Now, we've been over this many times before. Over this specific thing and all the other really irritatingly stupid things you constantly do. I've come to the conclusion that you simply lack the ability to obtain any form of logic. That being said, let me explain this morning's problem to you again.
I wake up at 5:30 this morning with the following in my ears:"Who you tryin to get crazy with essay? Don't you know i'm Locco?????" (Is my sms tone). I'm still very much asleep and realise that it could be any number of people experiencing a life threatening crisis, or it could be bad news. So I sit up, grab the phone, by now convinced that something awful has happened to somebody i love, and to my utter disgust, I see your name. OK, so maybe you have a life threatening crisis, I decide to give you the benefit of the doubt and read it :"Hi Ruby,we dnt hv water.pls pls pls give me advice,frkng out,dunno wht 2 do.HELP!" (For the record, the spelling was copied exactly from the sms)
Totally miffed I put the phone down and attempted to get at least another half an hour of sleep. 20 seconds later :"Who you tryin to get crazy with essay? Don't you know I'm Locco?????". My irritation and fury knew no bounds as your name flickered on my screen....:"wht shud i do?wht shud i do???". Once again i ignore. 20 seconds later....you guessed it :"who you tryin...blah blah blah" I almost hurled my phone against my cupboard.
I didn't even bother reading your last message but sent a snotty reply telling you to use the little water left in the kettle to brush your teeth, or to drive to the nearest cafe/garage shop, buy a bottle of water and brush your teeth and wash your face and get your ass to work.
You still ended up coming to work over an hour late. You're excuse...we didn't have any water. ARGH!!!!! So let me explain this to you one last time. My phone number is not your local assistance hotline. The only reason you have it is to let me know when you are sick and can't come to work, when you are stuck in traffic and will be late for work, or when you are dead, in which case you won't be able to come to work. It is not to be used to solve life's mysteries, or to ask for stupid advice, when you don't even follow my advice to begin with. For the record, you have yet to use my number for any of the allowed reasons, as you usually just do as you please and don't let me know when you're late or sick. But oh, when you have a stupid question then you can't wait to use it.
Seriously...who on earth sms's or calls their boss to ask them what to do when they have no water??? AND at 5:30 in the bloody morning?????? oh sorry, I forgot, you do...cause you seem to be bereft of all logic, then i again, I guess logic can only exist when you have a brain.
This is officially the last time I'll be explaining it to you, let the record reflect that this is the 111th time I've done this(yes, I counted). Next time I'll just phone my Mafia connections, and they HATE being woken up at 5:30*evil grin*

Dear Panarotti's
So last night we went to one of your restaurant to celebrate AK's birthday. We were a little late in arriving, and when we finally pitched up, all excited about seeing old friends, having drinks and celebrating with me friendster, I was seated facing the murals in the children gaming area.
I didn't actually pay much attention to the mural at first, but something about it kept bothering me, so finally i took a couple of seconds to study it and figure out what was bothering me. And then it occurred to me. It's slightly disturbing really. I couldn't believe my eyes and proceeded to ask most of the people at our table to take a look to see if they saw it too....and without fail everyone had the same reaction, which resulted in all of us collapsing in giggles.
I had to get a picture of course, so that i could include it in this here letter. But, since all the waiters were staring at us and the mural at that stage i bribed my cousin to do the embarrassing job of taking my phone, walking up to the offending image and taking the picture.
I present to you Exhibit A:
I'm not quite sure what i find more disturbing....the fact that the little kid is happily holding on to a penis or the monster staring at it excitedly in the background. Anyway, i just thought I'd point out this little painting mishap to you. Please note that in future I'll be facing the other way when coming for pizza, as no food would be consumed if i actually had to sit right in front of it again.
Regards
Ruby
P.S. Oh, by the way...we aptly nicknamed it "Tollie the Lollie", so don't be surprised if you discover a little bit of graffiti on your wall:)
