  • Reality Check

    I've just sat thru two episodes of Sex and The City.

    Yeah, I know a lot of you think it is a load of shite, plastic women, shallow people blah blah but I like it. For me, it is a fun half hour of escapism.

    I don't have a lot to escape from. I have a wonderful life. I wouldn't change it for a second.

    Except.

    I was watching them, all glam, beautiful clothes, high heels, slim and fit, make up, stunning hair, pretty nails.

    Then, I get up, walk into the kitchen to make myself a coffee, and catch a glimpse of my reflection in the kitchen window.

    Oh, god, where did I go? My hair is flat and grey, my eyes droop, I have jowls for fucks sakes. And I swore I would only ever wear this sweater again if I was gardening or cleaning out the frickin chickens.

    I was joking with AJ earlier, telling him (a little) about my exploits as a party animal 25 (25!!!) years ago, and those 25 years have just flown by.

    Oh, well. I guess I've earned every line, and I suppose each and every grey hair could tell its story.

    Nah. I'm not sad. A bit shocked, sometimes, about where my face went, but what the hell ... I lived it!!

  • I'm In Love

    I have just tried Sarah Jessica Parker's new fragrance - "Covet" - and I totally love it.

    I have to have it ;)

  • I have a complaint

    I have a complaint to make to any scientists who may be reading (which are probably quite few, but whatever... )

    Why is it, in this day and age, that we can travel into space, even put untrained millionaires on the space shuttle, that we still have to drive, fly, sail or take the train to our destination.

    Has no one seen Stargate??

    Come on guys - I am really looking forward to our holiday (the last one we took was when I was pregnant with Rachel and she is nearly four) but - man! - we have to drive for four hours to get there. It's enough to ruin my holiday it really is.

    I hate driving.

    However

    In saying all that - guess what I am contemplating for our next holiday? Winnebago!!

  • Ouchy

    Got up this morning with a really sore thumb.
    When I looked, it was red and swollen with that 'about-to-burst' look.
    Sat in a hot bath with a needle and gave it a poke, and what do you think I found? A piece of metal embedded in it.
    I have no recollection of getting it - just went a bit septic.
