TUESDAY RAMBLINGS

Time seems to be flying by at the moment with Christmas steadily creeping up and only 6 weeks until we fly off to Australia. Aaaah the preparations! I have told you about my disastrous bikini shopping experience, the bikini was perfect, I should have looked fabulous however (and I am firmly sticking with this) the lighting was very unflattering. So I have been attempting to get myself a six pack by doing exercises. Painful! I just do not get fitness nuts – surely there are more entertaining things out there??? Mind you I am rather lacking in dedication; I can just imagine Americo vigorously nodding his head at this, whilst babbling on about “NO PAIN NO GAIN!” .. whatever!

Unfortunately the proof is, literally, in the pudding and I am sad to say there shall be no more pudding for me! A dire turn of events I am sure you will agree.

The neighbours are beginning to think I have lost the plot as they see me outside (in the bitter cold) with my skipping rope - attempting to work up a sweat. If I am honest I can only muster about 10 minutes of enthusiasm before I begin to wonder .. when was this EVER fun? Kids love skipping, I loved skipping, what on earth changed?

So to make the world resemble a better place I have booked myself a haircut. New style, new colour – new me!

Tuesday's

This morning I was running late for work. My alarm went off but instead of pressing snooze I whacked stop… Aggg! Americo, who almost always sets his alarm for 6am and then drags himself out of bed at 8, was still asleep.

Sometimes I look at him lying there all toasty warm, still snuggled up and really have to fight the urge not to whip the covers off him! I am sure he thanks the lord daily for my presence in his life…

Tuesday’s are just one of those days, you don’t hate it because it isn’t Monday but still it is not really a firm favourite. That is definitely how I feel today. The office is so quite it seems to sap all the energy out of me, but I know the minute I step out into the cool, crisp air I shall be revived.
