'So how was your weekend?' I hear you cry. Well.
It all started on Wednesday (yes, I know. Bear with me). I popped over the road to our friend and neighbour as Daughter wanted to play with the neigbour's daughter. T answered the door in a spangly mauve satin dress. I said 'Love the dress' and she said 'Yes it's for when we all go...

Right, as NurseEvy has perceptively pointed out, now we know that pictures of puppies brings lots of beautiful women to my blog, I am going to completely blot my copybook now and talk about football. Even worse, not the be-helmeted kind, but the type you US folk refer to as soccer, so most of you will have no frame of reference whatsoever. I make no...

haha that's too funny! He is a dick and does it a lot..I'm just used to it I guess haha. But the rest of it was a blast.
Um....I'm just writing this for the sake of writing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of any interest has happened since my last entry. Which is okay, actually. Life just goes on. Work might be crap, but everything else is pretty okay.
Sorry there are no dramatic emotional swings or dramas. If it helps, I got a pleasant satisfaction from finishing the rock garden, and planting it out with...

HILLSBOROUGH REMEMBERED
20 years on, I just wanted to say how touching the tributes were at Anfield today. For those of you who live outside the UK, 20 years ago, 96 Liverpool football supporters died in tragic circumstances at Sheffield Wednesday's ground, when massive overcrowding and misdirection led to their deaths. Among the dead were many children.
The minute's silence was perfectly observed today, and...

I'm glad I'm not just being a "girl" about this. I know he's attracted to me, but it would be nice to hear him say it once in a while, even if actions speak louder than words. Heh.
Thanks about that too! I just got on my Wii Fit (hehehe, love it) and according to it, I'm down about 35 from my highest and about 27 from my first weigh-in at Weight Watchers. Made my day a little better. =)

THE BEST DANCE ROUTINE. BAR NONE.
Ho for the Hols!
Finally....a break from work for a few days. No more trying to justify the unjustifiable, for a few days. No more trying to ring a US colleague, only to find they got told to clear their desk, for a few days. No more trying to cope with multi-million dollar forecasts, for a few days. Just...

AN AFFAIR WITH ROY ORBISON
You know, I realise in part it's an age and family thing. While loads of young SG members are getting stoked up and having a great Fri/Sat night, we have to think about babysitters, get all the pressures of the week out of our heads, tidy the house, etc. So we often end up crashed out in front of the...

THINGS NOT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE DRUNK NO.1
Bet your friend and neigbour that you can grow a better 70's porn moustache than him.
I did this two weeks ago and, once I'd sobered up, desperately hoped he'd forgotten about it. But I saw him last week sporting a fine growth. I am now at that annoyingly itchy four day stage, and hoping my...

Yea those beaches are the best. I really hope my wife gets stationed there or Europe somewhere.
nurseevy:
Oh to be able to afford the money and time to travel to Europe...
There are far too many unhappy people out there, what with work problems, personal problems and so on. I haven't had a great week myself. So it's time for a bit of bucking up.
First an intro. This is a comedy duo called Armstrong and Miller, and the number they perform here is a parody of an English act from the fifties called Flanders and...

It's mostly IN it but it's on the outside too. I do think he's being a whiny baby. I even offered to clean them because she's my dog even though things like that make me barf. lol
cayleigh:
haha the guys I end up with never look like that but one can hope right?
Right - last post far too self-absorbed and downbeat. NurseEvy and Badluck Brent have put me in a sentimental Eighties mood.
I wish I had a photo of me from 84/85, with long post-New Romantic hair, black eyeliner, diamante earring, long black coat and leather boots.
However, I have been rummaging through Youtube and come up with some ancient gems:

He truly was an amazing guy. My wife and I have become total anglophiles as we she drives a Jag I drive an old Range Rover, our favorite show is Top Gear. Funny you like Man City as when I would go to soccer camp as a kid our 5 aside team was Man City. Now I like Newcastle but I haven't watched a Premiership match in a couple of weeks. Looks like Newcastle is headed for relegation.
REM yes I did love REM too. I lived next door to a guy who went to school with Michael at U Georgia, their lyrics are truly incredible.

You can't just stick them through the wash. lol. They're not made like that. They stain and it's part of his uniform so if they don't look good he gets in trouble. He's a marine btw.
This has got to have been one of the most nerve-wracking weeks of my life. Let me explain - only about six years ago, I was still happily working a shift pattern, providing base level support for our company's IT systems - predictable work, reasonable salary, and you could forget about it when you went home. But today, I find myself in a position of...

That's awesome! Mine are superman, too! woot! lol.
"p.s. love Monet too. I was blown away as a teen in Paris by the huge waterlily canvases in the Orangerie."
and i am officially 100 percent JEALOUS!!!!!! hahahahaha One day I will make it there. Its my ultimate dream to go to the Louvre. Although when ya live on disability and have surgery every other month... the chances of ever getting there are slim to none. I would SO pack up and just live on the streets there if I could go to that damn museum once a week. lol
