I’ve charged up my MP3 player and I’m headed out for a walk/run this morning. Nervous about getting out there, but even if I only make it up the street and back it’s a step in the right direction. I’ve got a long road of ups and downs ahead of me, but I’ll beat these panic attacks if it kills me.
Today the song I chose to get my arse motivated and moving is Take That’s “Greatest Day.”
Psssst… Can you help me out? I need some ideas for songs to put on my MP3 player so I can keep my groove going. So… tell me… what songs keep you moving when you’re trying to shed a few extra pounds?
The sick bug has decided to pay our house a visit so we’re off to the doctors today! Poor Meg-a-roo came home from school yesterday with dark circles under her eyes, a sniffly nose and a low-grade fever. By the time evening came she was burning up and wouldn’t eat a thing.
I’m always nervous when she gets a fever because vomiting usually accompanies it. The puke doesn’t bother me, but not being able to keep her seizure meds down does. Thank goodness we haven’t had an issue this time around.
Today she’s feeling a bit better and has managed to down a few saltine crackers and lots of water. Hopefully the sick bug wont stay for very long and Meg-a-roo will be back to her cheery, little self soon.
My sister directed me to a very cool blogger over at Notes From Lapland who wrote a very bold post about supermarket sex toys which reminded me of a similar embarassment I once had. She’s very funny so make sure you check her out!
Okay, so how many of you have been to or even hosted one of those parties?
You know the ones!
Where you invite all your closest girlfriends and giggle at the smorgesboard of pleasure toys and creams at your fingertips. Well, when you host these parties, you get a lot of free stuff and let’s just say I kind of went to town one or two or three times! Let’s call this the Karma Sutra period of my life.
With an ever inquisitive little girl, all it took was for her to come walking out of my closet once wielding a brand new buzzing toy for me to decide it was time to down-size my collection.
I layed them all out on a shelf determined to say goodbye to most of them and draped them with one of my silky scarves. Well, somehow I got sidetracked and just kind of forgot they were there.
Cut to a week later when the air con in my house decided to kick the bucket mid-summer. Yeah, I had to call out one of our good friends who has an air con company to come and sort it out.
It wasn’t until after he left that it dawned on me he had to go into the attic to get to the root of the problem by going through my closet. Yeah! Past my umm collection.
Shock.
Horror.
Gasp.
I still don’t know to this day if he actually saw them lying there. I just know when I ran to the closet the scarf was no longer covering the goods and I turned all shades of red. If he did see them it’s something that’s remained unsaid to this day. Quite frankly, I don’t plan on asking him anytime soon! Needless to say and still blushing, I disposed of most of them straight away.
My sister and I like to have a wee giggle now and then about not only what our poor ole air con friend must have thought, but also what a shock the garbage men might’ve had if the trash started buzzing. I can imagine it now the bomb squad being called out to my address, news cameras everywhere, only to find what they thought to be a ticking time bomb was only a few naughty, plastic, toys concealed in a black garbage bag. Oh the shame!
I was having a morning cuppa with my sister, after dropping Meg off at school, when she suddenly perked up and said…
”Ooooo I almost forgot your birthday present finally arrived!”
I got quite giddy like one does when they’re getting a pressie! She handed me the box and I wasted no time opening it. When I saw the bright yellow cover I thought “It couldn’t be… OMG IT IS!!!!!”
My fabulous sister got me only the best book in the whole wide world! Move over Stephanie Meyers and Dan Brown there are two new authors in town and they’re gonna show me the way to stardom! Did you guess yet? Yep! that’s right she got me Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s new book…
”How to be FAMOUS!”
I couldn’t get enough…
This book is full of it full of great Speidi-isms like…
”celebrities are there to look hot for the common people!”
OMG that is like SOOO true Heidi! Or this one…
” Having people repeat your name over and over is a great way to build your brand.”
So say my name bitches! Seriously, I’ve randomly been going up to strangers and having them say my name over and over. You know what? I think it’s actually catching on, I’m sooo glad I listened to you Spencer. Check out this commercial I was sooo excited when it said my name…
Okay so yeah technically I’m a cow, but it’s all about getting your name out there right? Right! Oh and the Kirsten cow made it to California! That’s right she won bitches! Not so funny now huh?!
So, when I’m standing at the podium accepting my award I will remember to thank my sister for buying me this fine piece of literature. I will also thank Heidi and Spencer, my new found mentors, for sharing their wisdom with me.
Now I’m off to the plastic surgeon’s office to talk about Botox and liposuction because Heidi says “Nobody’s born perfect, but you can get there!” I am soooo in awe of her people!
I’ll leave you with my pick for Music Monday, but make sure you check back so you can see Heidi teaching me “How to say I hate you without saying a word.”
So it was my birthday a few weeks back! Okay it was almost a month ago! I’ve been busy with school give me a break already *grin*.
Did you know I happen to share my birthday with a certain ground-hog called Punxsutawney Phil?
So you’ve heard of him!
Yep my birthday is on Groundhog’s Day and yes I’ve seen the movie! It’s actually one of my favorite Bill Murray movies. Anyway I digress…
My mum and sister, who I thought were just coming over for a cup of tea, surprised me with a lovely lunch from Olive Garden.
It was a fun day, just us girls and my wee nephew having a giggle.
JUMP ON Logan we’re gonna go for a ride.
NO Aunty K we have to do the magic dance first… Go on then Logan, teach me!
We had a good chuckle and it was really nice to relax for a change and just enjoy family.
Meg couldn’t wait till my birthday so a few days earlier, after going to her cousin Lenny’s football game, she surprised me with a Victorian sponge cake.
She made it herself (well with a little help from Daddy) and was so proud of it. I have to say it was absolutely scrumptious!! It made for a lovely treat after freezing our butts off at the football game.
All in all I had a fab birthday! Oooo you’ll have to wait for my Musical Monday to see what my sister got me.
Yep I let Meg pick my Music Monday! I hadn’t really paid much attention to this song till Meg made me watch it with her. Kudos Nick Jonas the video is really cute and hit home with us. So check it out….
Who am I?
A Mother
A Sister
A Daughter
A Wife
A Friend
I Suffer From
I can love, I can laugh, I can cry, but at the end of the day I’m just me!
Meg has been telling me for a while that she wanted to play soccer. I didn’t think a lot about it because she tells me she wants to do a lot of things, but doesn’t always mean it.
The soccer thing though kept coming up over and over. My sister told me about a soccer league in our area that had a good beginner program so I finally said okay and signed her up.
Daddy and Meg went to the local sports store where they hooked her up with some cute, pink, Adidas cleats and shin guards and I headed to target to get her some Umbro shorts and socks.
Last Saturday was her first practice and she did great shooting on goal, tapping and passing.
She was excited to get her jersey and find out that she had the same number as Mommy’s favorite player, Waynee Rooney, from Man. United.
They even managed to get a little scrimmage match in.
Meg had a blast, but I don’t think she realized that soccer is a contact sport. She’s definitely not aggressive by nature and was quick to tell me that another girl had pushed her! Giggling I told her “ Meg you have to use your body to push people in soccer to get the ball.” “Ohh okay Mommy!”
This week she played goalie for a little bit, but the coach (daddy) decided she was better on the field after she let two balls, rolling at a snails pace, go in the goal. Hubby said it was hysterical to see Meg look at the kids running at her, look at the ball and sort of go “Naaah” deciding it wasn’t worth the risk. *grin* It’s gonna be fun watching her learn and grow, till then she’ll always be my little Mia Hamm.
