Welcome to the Circus!

Random Dribble#1

• The weather is sucking ass, is it not? Its been down to 2 and 4 degrees the last few mornings and Jason has had to chisel the ice of the windscreen of the cars just so he can go to work int he mornings. Not to mention i have been living in several layers of clothing and a scarf, i have also decided i should invest in some ear muffs, someone should invent toilet seat warmers, and who do i have to kill to get someone to knit me a freaking nose warmer!?

• I weighed in on the weekend. It was so up and down and all over the place that i took a 2 week break( just from weighing in). It was getting me down! SO i weighed in at 88kgs (loss of 0.5). Thats good, its still a loss and considering i have slacked off on the exercise for almost 3 weeks i'm pretty damn happy with that. I have still been trying my hardest to eat right and stay away from that evil brown stuff. (chocolate i'm talking about!!) check me out! only 8kg to go seems like so little but i'm thinking its going to be some hard work!

• Sadly we lost Maralyn on the 12th of last month, it was a Tuesday and the Funeral was on the Friday. She lost her battle with brain cancer, but she is at peace now. Its taken me a while to write about it, because apart from not being able to find the words I was still pretty emotional. She will be missed by so many people, as her life was dedicated to always helping others. The funeral was one of the saddest and most religious ones i had ever been to. Her friend sang amazing grace and it was just beautiful.

• Why people wear mascara to funerals though is beyond me, they know its sad, that they will cry, and that its going to smudge. Of course you are going to look like a panda or do your best raccoon impression yet they still put it on. I was quite clever and managed to leave the mascara at home, (mainly because its been that long since i wore mascara, or any makeup actually that it was dryer than a nuns you know what). But i did manage to leave my tissues at home too!, and once i started crying and my nose was sporting candle sticks my aunty saw me desperatley about to wipe my nose on my scarfe (cos my sleeve was too short) and passed me a hanky, how sweet. I wiped my snot all over it and i don't think she wants it back in a hurry. Sadly that was my only retarded feat of the day. We were all standing out the front, as we are the family, waiting for the hearse to arrive, and my "stay up" stockings wouldn't stay up! So i sneak around the corner a little to hike them back up only to get busted by the priest, who was trying not to look. Yeah i know trust me! As if that wasn't bad enough i managed to tuck my skirt into my undies at the wake. I felt a cold draft and then some old dear ran behind me and pulled it down. Thanks for that! I know i know, u can't take me anywhere and this is the proof.

• Relay for life went well, all up our team raised 6 grand, and as a town we raised over 100 grand between us, so that not a bad effort! They had Kareoke and bands etc to keep us all awake, we were lucky enough to get poured on by rain, but thankfully our costume involved bright yellow poncho raincoats that actually kept us warm and dry! Our team mate who was better known on the day as "chicken woman" wont the prize for best and most original costume, so that was pretty cool also. I did my laps on my own because i was too fast for everyone else lol and stopped counting once i hit 100.

• I'm afraid not much else is happening. Life is pretty ordinary, or as ordinary as it can get around here! School holidays start next week. God help me!!

I have Arrived!

On the doorstep of the 80's! Woohoo!
I am totally surprised since i haven't done any exercise in 2 weeks. But i guess thats what happens when you have to live off soup and painkillers for a week!! :)

Weight this week : 88.5 kgs (<---80's!!!)
Loss this week : 2.5 kgs
Total Loss : 17.5 kgs
Left to lose : 8.5kgs

• I started exercising again last night, i did a bike ride for 30 mins, then got rather annoyed because my mp3 player ate 2 of the shithouse batteries that i bought! Theres just no such thing as good qualitly these days. When i pay 2 bucks for 10 batteries i expect them to work at least 20 mins lol.

• I can now eat again! and have been doing do for 2 days. Ahh its lovely. The liquid diet was getting a little boring! This is also my second day painkiller free, go me! I still have a hole in my jaw where he tore my tooth out, but i expect that will close over eventually?!
• I checked out a few pairs of those big black knee high boots. I totally want a pair, and so far i have the winning bid on ebay! hehehe. I'm just hoping they are going to fit over my stupid calves!
• I expect life will get back to normal this week. Meaning now that no one feels sorry for me, they aren't going to let is slide if we don't have any clean socks or clean utensil to eat of off. Damn it. I'd better get to that, after i mop the bathroom.

Alive and kicking, Just.

So i'm being pestered for updates by people who don't even comment by the way!! How rude!, and im tired and sick and feeling lazy and have PMS, so i'm doing it in dot point! Hah!

<------ This pic is from yesterday, of me and my girl!

So whats new?

• I gained 600grams this week. I'm not surprised. My motivation ran away. That puts me back to 91kgs. C'mon girl get your act together and get to those 80's! If anybody sees my motivation could they please send it home?, also don't feed it any chocolate.
• I've been sick, again. Whats the go with that!? I seem to be getting every damn thing that goes around. Everyone likes a pressie but shit!, you can keep those ones to yourself. Its been one big competition the last 2 days between my head and my ass for prime postition on the porcelain throne. It's not fun!
• I'm also still nursing my wounds! from what? from my major stack over the kiddy gate,that has only been there on and off for the past 5 years. I went to step over it and didn't quite make it.I landed flat on my face, bruised my shin, my thigh, my rib, and have one lovely set of scraped wrists to boot. yay me, like i said before no use doing thing by halves!
• I have a headache that has lasted 4 days and won't go away no matter how much panadol i swallow. Also had to give in and make that dentist appointment. Be afraid, be very afraid, I am! I'm shaking just thinking about it. I haven't been to the dentist in 10 years, this is going to be scary. Hopefully he will just tear out the offending bitch of a wisdom tooth and let me be on my merry way! Not gonna happen? nope i don't think so either. Besides losing the only bit of wisdom i have! i drank a helluva lot of coke over the years, i'm guessing 10, maybe 20 fillings? Stuff it, maybe i could swing a set of falsies while i'm in there.
• What a winging whining post this has turned into! Too bad it's my blog, so shaddap!
• I went to the relay for life fundraiser on Saturday morning, i made my cheesecakes and took them to the cake stall. The sold my Voilet Crumble Cheesecake for $20! wow. To some nurse who was having a party or something.
• Jason went away to play golf on the weekend, arrived home in one piece and not hungover. I think hes getting old!
• Speaking of getting old, these late nights and early morning are catching up on me! I can't handle it anymore. So last night i went to bed before 10pm! what the! And i layed there until at least 11.30 getting shitty because my head was thumping and i couldn't go to sleep. Theres no way to win this one, i'm sure.
• The kids are being their delightful selves again. They seem to be fighting something shocking lately, driving me nuts. Jayda is also getting REALLY bored with me during the day. I wish i could get her into daycare somewhere even one day a week so she would have someone to play with. She needs to go to learn things and do things and not be hanging onto my leg. Besides there is only so much dancing  and colouring in we can do and only so much Hi5 i can take!
• Jaxon's school photos are next week (oh god i should probably get him a mop chop before then!), followed by the teddy bears picnic. Every year we go there and freeze our asses off under the same tree while Jaxon runs around like a mainiac with his friends. So who gets the good deal? Plus every time we have been, without fail it has rained! God i Hope Jason has the day off :)
• I'm not sure if told anyone about Maralyn or not, my mums cousin. Who has brain cancer, and its really bad & spreading. She went from normal to almost veggie in just 2 weeks. Its unreal, and  just so sad. Well now she is back in BH. I don't think i will go and see her. I don't think i can do it. She wont get better, it will only get worse and  eventually she will die. Probably soon too. I think i'd rather remember her how she was. I don't want to see her like that, she wouldn't know i was there anyway.
• Next weekend is relay for life.  Its going to be freezing! And we will be out there sleeping on the oval overnight and running around an oval. Can anybody say retards!? Ok, so its for a good cause. But i was having my doubts when they told us what we had to wear! A yellow plastic raincoat and gold sparkly pimp hat! Call me a fashion victim, but jeezus! no one looks good in Yellow!! Dot was even less impressed than i was.
• The dentist JUST called me! OMG! I have to be there in an hour. OMG! I'm scared. I have to go. I need to ring my mummy and see if she will come hold my hand! Oh Shit!

Creeping up Slowly ....

How cool would it be if we weighed ourselves like this!??
However, i am happy with yesterdays weigh in result.
The exercise and weekend of diarrhea really payed off! (i wouldn't recommend the diarrhea part though especially since we ran out of toilet paper! Baby wipes Rock! i do recommend those!). I exercised as much as possible, and feel better for it. I think i might have worn in those new shoes too.
So this is the rundown for this week...
Weight this week: 90.4 kgs (wow!! i hope to be under 90 next week how exciting)
Loss this week : 2.2 kgs
Total Loss: 15.6 kgs
Left to Lose: 10.4 kgs

So hopefully next week, i'll be reporting from the 80's side of the scales!!!

I still have a spare tyre, and i think it still has a fair bit of tread on it too. Now i'm looking to get rid of that, burn some rubber. I also want to tone up my arms that are starting to look like a set of bat wings. I'm starting to feel old yes, but not quite ready yet to be the old bat!

My cousin K (our family's exercise and health freak) Has been promoted today, from cousin to personal trainer! She emailed me today with my first detailed (and damn scary) exercise regime. I got worn out from reading it. Thankfully she's not to hard on me and only expects me to do it every second day (help!). I haven't been so scared since the day she found me hiding a snickers under my pillow! pmsl.

No only have  mastered the art of riding the exercise bike, while singing to music and reading scrapbooking magazines. I have also invented a new fashion trend! yes! Trackie Chapps!  you know.. where your legs have rubbed together for so long they have worn the leg's and the crotch out of your trackie daks! Oh yeah.. you heard it here first, i see these becoming a big thing. I'm taking orders..

New Shoes.. and the Blue Beanie Incident

Here are my new Runners, made especially for running apparently. So maybe i'll have to try it. These are my mothers day present, but since nobody here know the meaning of the word wait, i tested them out on my walk today (plus i knew i was getting them because i picked them out and had to try them on and get some in my size before the sale was over!) They look good, but they hurt like a bitch! I think i did them up a little tight! they wore skin off my poor little toes and made my toes cramp up! ouch! I stopped about 10 mins up the road to loosen them a bit and get my circulation back, that seemed to do the trick until i was almost on the home stretch and i had to stop because i couldn't feel my toes. Maybe i should have worn them around the house a bit before a one hour hammering. So thats my (painfull) walk down for today, and i also did a 20 min bike ride, had to get those shoes off.

I went to the relay for life meeting tonight, picked up my team t-shirt and listened to alot of people talk about alot of stuff that i couldn't really hear because they were on my deaf side doh!! It should be fun, i'm looking forward to it. Our team has raised 3 grand so far with more to add, i have 120 bucks in sponsors so far too, hopefully more when i have finished harassing all of our customers at the pub!

After last nights half asleep effort of a post, i totally forgot to inform you all about "the incindent" with "Blue Beanie" (or then again, i could have still been high from sniffing my own BO!)
I was crossing the road yesterday and a car was coming, so i started to run (as you do when you don't want to get run over). Then i notice this dork aka Blue Beanie (20ish year old guy wearing a blue beanie drinking a stubbie with tribe of more 20ish year old mates behind him) hanging over the fence of one of the houses. He's making this come here waving motion at me, so i look behind me to see who hes talking to. Nobody there. Oh! the dork must me waving at me. I get closer and he again makes motions, this time for me to take my headphones out.(at this point i wonder if he can speak!) I take my headphone out of my ears and look, still keeping my distance.. and indeed he can speak because he said..
Blue Beanie : come over here, i have a present for you ( stupid drunk smirk on face)
Me: Why don't you just take it back and get a refund, its too small!
Blue Beanie : (looks shocked)
(Mates of blue beanie laughing their asses off in tears)
Blue Beanie : Bitch!!!
Me : (not even looking back, giving him the finger)

So today i walked on the other side of the road. (chicken shit- bawk bawk)
Yeah i know! the finger, so grown up of me hey! But jeez.
I'm surprised that i thought of that comeback so quick even!

Landing in HOT Water

Or more like.. Landing ourselves SOME hot water. Finally!
We now have hot water.. everywhere! Well everywhere you should have it anyway. I i did have a hot shower last night, and this morning, and this arvo. Being clean has never been so cool. Plus its been raining and cold enough to freeze the nuts off a brass monkey.

Well, Blog Stalkers (yes the whole 3 of you). I'm back in the land of the living. No i didn't die and go to heaven, I don't think they would let me in anyway! But i was feeling sorry for myself and feeling like shit. I got the trifecta if you will, a lovely sinus, a nice dose of the flu and just to top it off a urinary tract infection. Go me! No use doing things by halves right?. The DRs here are all booked solid which meant it was impossible to an appointment (before the 21st!) unless of course you were dying and then they would probably send you to hospital anyway. I put up with it for as long as i could stand ( 3 days) and gave in and went to pester the peeps at the hospital. Thankfully i think i only waited an hour or so and the oh so lovely DR saved my life and give me some antibiotics which i'm also pleased to say started to work fast. Then i get home to find a letter, from my DR ( the one i couldn't get into!!) asking me to make an appointment to discus the results of some test i had a week or so ago!! Maybe the want to tell me i have a uti!?. !#@$%!

Sundays Weigh in.. (dahh dum.. dahh dumm.. dahhh)
I gained! 1.6 kgs. Am i going to use being sick for an excuse? you betcha!
Its kinda hard to exercise when you think you need to pee every 2 seconds, can't breathe out of your nose and cough your guts up (which then only makes you wan to pee again). Also the bike riding was a little bit uncomfortable. So i didn't do one single step of exercise last week! I'm not surprised, i expected the gain. I'm making up for it this week, i promise. I have already rode for and hour both Monday and Tuesday, and today i went for my walk and came home and rode my bike for 30 mins. I've gotta say.. i find it weird how people feel so good after exercising, especially since you look so damn hot (not!). I mean come on! nothing says hot like wet stained armpits on your shirt, sweat dripping off you everywhere, sweaty back and crack... damn people.. or could it be that you are just getting high from the stench of your own armpit BO!? now theres a thought!!

Relay For Life

Well, Its official. I'm now going to participate in the RELAY FOR LIFE and why not, its a great cause!

Relay For Life is a fun, outdoor and overnight fundraising event where teams of 10 to 15 people take turns to walk around a local oval.

The event honours those whose lives have been touched by cancer.

Celebrate life and create hope by joining your friends, family, cancer survivors and their carers in the common goal of defeating cancer.

On the 2nd of June i will be joining a team of other ladies (including Dot! My Aunty), mostly from the local hospital kiosk. I tried to get a team together, but didn't have any success and while chatting to Dot today she said they already had a team and i should come help them out. So done deal.. i might even run a lap. (after all they have ambulances there!)

Won't be long and i should have details on how you can sponsor or donate to suppost our team in fundraising for such a great cause.


..................................................

So hows this to top of a crappy week!?
Mum called yesterday to say that we couldn't come for a shower because, you'll never guess!? Her hot water system had shit itself! We are destined to be the mank family, i am sure! So we could either hang off until this morning when their new system was in place and heated up, or venture of to other various relatives scabbing showers like homeless people. What is the world coming to! If it wasn't so damn cold i'd think about hosing myself down on the front lawn (then shake myself and roll on the grass like the dogs do! add a little bit of an ass scratching bum drag along the lawn just so the neighbours think know i'm a complete lunatic).

Happy Hump day people! hope you had a good one.

My ASS hurts..

Well it does!! and before you dirty mined pervs go thinking its from practicing moves from the Karma Sutra.. its not. It's from riding the shit out of my new bike (aka easter present/chocolate replacement). It's been raining here so i have taken to bike riding in my scrap studio in front of the mirror for entertainment exercise. As much as i love the whole drowned rat look you get after walking in the rain, i don't really appreciate that part where you freeze your tits off (god knows i can't afford for that to happen). SO all in all i managed to fit in some exercise 6 days out of 7 last week. So it looks like it has payed off.

• Over 2 weeks i have had a loss of 1.4 kgs. Goodo.
• Thats a total loss of 15kgs
• Thats 11 kgs to go
• Thats only 1.1 kg away from the 80's! (soo close)

So what else? Not much! I went for my walk today, didn't ride my bike because my ass is still in pain from the 1 hour relay race i had against myself the girl in the mirror while singing to the music blaring from my mp3 player. man i got up to 42ks! (for a few seconds!) don't let me in the school zone!.  Oh! and i need some new runners, mine are a bit churchy right now (yes i meant holey) and i have walked the god damn tread off them, i never thought that would happen. Some socks would probably be helpful too since i don't own a pair that match and all of Jason's are big enough to use as sleeping bags and smell like doritos!

Over and out!

I scream for Icecream!

We all scream for Icecream...
Screaming for it is fine.. its eating it thats the problem.

God damn you Sara Lee!!!

Rocky Road Overload; luscious chocolate ice cream overloaded with     marshmallows, chocolate coated peanuts and delicious raspberry swirls. Take     it to the limits!

OOh yeah!! MMmmmm Icecreammm.... (insert Homer Simpson style drool noise)

I haven't eaten it! - don't stress. But boy do i wanna!! PMS time is fast approaching, and i caught a glimpse of this int he fridge at the supermarket last night, i have been craving, dreaming and drooling about it ever since. Arrghhh Someone belt me over the head with a blunt object! c'mon!! pretty please?
If i could trust myself to eat one or 2 scoops and then put it away it would be fine, but i know i wont.  Bummer. This is torture! But i don't want to throw away my hard work from this week, the 80's are so damn close i can taste them and i already set myself back last week by drinking and slacking off. This is where i tell myself the 80's taste better than any old Sara Lee icecream. And also where i say back to myself.. It had better!!!!!

So the rundown on the exercise is..
I have been 4 days this week already, no slacking of!! and i also did a 30 minute bike ride tonight when i got home from my walk.  Plus the push ups, sit ups, tri dips etc..

Also since its almost PMS time, i don't think i will weigh in this weekend. I think i will just try for another good week and belt myself sensless when i think about that yummy icecream!!

Footloose and Fancy Dress!

Just thought i'd share some pics from the Fancy Dress party i went to on Saturday night.
you can click here --> THE PHOTOS

Also here are some pics from My cousin K's Engagement party on easter weekend.
check them out

Got back into gear today, i walked to the oval where i intended to go for a run, but found that the oval was yet again full of people. (Stupid excuse i know, but i feel like a total moron running as it is, let alone with people watching me. I need to get over this and just do it, or run somewhere else, what the hell am i scared of!?) So i walked past the oval and made my way back towards where i usually go for my walk, and continued on my usual route! Had to make a few detours because they had a street blocked off and fire brigades etc all over the joint. Then a bit closer to home had to make yet another detour to get away from slow ass man walking his dog infront of me. I decided i would tackle the "school hill" i do it most days, but only half way (coz thats where the gate is!) I got all the way up without stopping, i was a bit out of breath when i got home, but thats wasn't too bad! I feel better already.

I'm off tomorrow to have an eye check, and take the kids to see the "ticklish allsorts" at the local shopping centre tommorow. I will be glad when school goes back just so we can get a little bit of routine back. Doh! i have to get Jaxon some winter pants too!!
