As you have gathered since I have not written anything for 3
weeks there’s not a lot going on in my house at the moment. Well there’s a lot
of lying on the sofa and stuffing my fat face but besides that not a lot else. So I've been struggling to think of something
to blog about and I know I've spoken to friends who will tell me just write
about anything “we’ll read it” and “it’ll be funny” oh and believe me when I
tell you there are tons of stuff I’d love to write about but I don’t want to
hurt anybody’s feelings or piss anyone off ranting about politics and anyway
this blog was supposed to be about my failures and successes on my journey to
better health. Well “how is that working out for you?” I can hear you all say
and I‘d quickly answer y’all back as politely as I could and say “Fuck off its
not” oh and I’m in one god awful foul mood today! (And the bloody mouse on this
computer is not working properly Arrg!)
So why am I in a foul mood today? Well I take it you all
remember the lite beer debacle? The community
service (done) alcohol awareness (1/2 done) but I’m not sure if I mentioned the
court costs $450 (paid). So all in all it’s
on the way to being done and dusted all in the allotted time. Ok good let’s
move on, put it behind us and let’s not drag it up ever again like good mothers
do. (Yeah, but not sure I fit into that category so I’ll have to save that
little chestnut for later). I know, I know, all you perfect mothers out there
rolling your eyes. Stop rolling your eyes or I’m going to have to talk about something
else that irritates the hell out of me – “Beg, Barter, Buy and sell” - This is
our local community Facebook page that allows only people in our neighborhood to list whatever shite they see fit to sell. Now
don’t get me wrong sometimes there may be the occasional wee gem on there but a
lot of the time it’s tat! Really, honestly - A 3 ringed binder for $3, leaf and
tree cleaner $2 or how about some fake red apples a snip at $3. I’m sure one night I saw left over spaghetti bolognaise
from an absolutely delicious dinner, yours for $1.50 (no I’m just joking about
that, that wasn't on there long I bought it yumm!)But seriously people could
you just not ask your friends and give them away or better still donate it to a
good cause there are tons of them out there.
But I guess you’re still wondering why I’m in a bad mood and
I haven’t really explained it I've just ranted on for a bit well here goes I don’t
know if you remember or if you even know but Stupid son wanted a dog, this was
way before litebeergate and I was not
one bit happy about it and tried all my powers of reasoning to talk him out of
it. You know the usual, dogs are not just for Christmas blah, blah, blah, the
cost, the vets, the where does he go when you’re not there. All the sensible
stuff but Stupid arse in his wisdom spoke to his dad Stupid Arse mark 2 and off
they duly trotted to the animal shelter to pick up a rescue dog (albeit a very
cute dog) but a dog none the less. As you can imagine I was not happy and that
day when Stupid Arse and the dug left for school I cried my eyes out. I did not
cry when I took him to college and left him there but was sobbing when he went
with that bloody dog. Is school not hard
enough without the added problems of a dog? Enough said. Oh and that’s still
not the reason I’m in a foul mood. Well the dog has been there for, I would say
close on 6 weeks now and Smug Git comes in and tells me that we have to go and
withdraw $400 from our bank account for Stupid Arses apartment complex because
he has a dug! Wait, What? We have to pay another $400 to the apartment? None of
you two idiots thought to check the apartments out before you got the dug! Arrrrg!
I really feel like I’m handcuffed to idiots! Where the hell is he going to find
$400 dollars from? No! Wait! I take it all back… Does anyone want to buy my
favorite Gin glass? Used often but with lots of love $400 obo!
Deep breath.
Rant over… And… Relax
Ok other news. I’m just going to ask the question - What’s
wrong with a wee bit of alcohol at breakfast if it’s for medicinal purposes?
That’d be ok right? I know, I know - Wrong! Well we found a new homeopathic remedy
for my arthritis and it’s 9 gin soaked raisins a day. So basically you put the
golden raisins (must be golden) in a bowl and cover them with gin. Leave them
till all the gin has soaked in and eat 9 a day not 8 or 10 just 9. I’m not
quite sure what will happen if you deviate from the amount but I’m sticking to
the rules. So far if truth be told it’s not made a blind bit of difference but
I do have a wee chuckle every time I eat them and they taste great. I think
they’d be even better on your frosties.
Sorry about all the moaning this week but check out the
serious bit there might be a wee moan in there but read on…
Serious bit
10/11/12 was the
first day to sign up to do the MS150 for 2013 and as I've always said last year
was a huge achievement for me but I did sign up as a dare and I had no idea
what I was getting myself into. Now what to do about this year, I know what’s in
front of me and how hard it was and how much of a cry baby bitch I was a lot of
the time and how I've really not done a lot during the summer months. It was
time to make up my mind. Do I go for it again? Or do I just check it off my
bucket list as done and go back to the sofa? A huge part of me wants to do that
because who likes hard work? And y’all know how hard it was for me and now
knowing about the hills, the no alcohol, the early starts, no relaxing weekends
(ok I need to stop here I’m totally talking myself out of this) but I’m really
happy to say that I have signed up to do the 2013 MS150 from Houston to Austin
on April 21 and 22. So if any of you
fancy a wee spin round the neighborhood PM me or call. I need all the help I
can get! Oh and now I should have more
to blog about Yeah!
Thanks for reading see y’all next time, love Iz
Here is my link if you’d like to help me reach my goal of
$1000.
