Random Thread of Naughty Thoughts
Sorry about your FIL Ann. Hoping for the best for all, esp. at this time of year to go thru that. :(Good news about your uncle, Fiona, that's great! And did you notice Kellie's very astute comment that you would make a great writer?? I agree, Kellie!!
:)
Fiona, if you'd make a terrible one, I'd make a horrendous one.Plot? HAH. What plot?
I like your writing style, you're good, Fi.
Hahha, sure, but YOU ARE A GOOD WRITER.You hear me??? And I will not accept no for an answer, because you ARE.
You both are, now stop this bickering!Or the Grinch will toss all your gifts UP the CHIMBLEE, even the crumbs too small for a mouse AND the last can of WHO-HASH!!
;)
You have a point. Sometimes in Libba's blog she'll second guess her writing talent and I'll be like:
"WHAT? You're kidding right?"
So, I suppose you are right.
*goes to find a different house from which to pilfer presents*
Fiona, your not the only one.But god, COOKIES.
And turtle cake........oh. My. God.
Christmas time is my excuse.
Just wait til my heart grows three sizes and I develop the strength of ten Grinches, plus two!Complete with beams of light shining from everywhere!
I am not looking forward to January. Why you ask?
Two words. Exercise Class.
And the teacher is someone I know.
NOT FUN.
I do aikido, which is a martial art, but it's only lower body strength, and I only sweat a tad.The exercise class will be brutal.
Strength training and..DREADED WORD
cardio.
Well, I do a lot of active things I guess. Aikido for two hours two times a week, skiiing in the winter time, yoga. Well, Joe switches it up each time, but you always have to do skipping for about a minute (horrible) and step on one of those steppy things. (Which is actually fun).
No you are a writer. Its the way you talk about simple things. You make them interesting.
How many mince pies this time? Have you gained your 3 lbs yet?
Bye Fiona ! Why weren't my messages showing up when you were here?I saw them?
*frowns a Grinch-y frown*
:( BYE FI.Helga. I choose Helga.
Eating Emu Dust in what? Writing?
Hi GEMMA! I think she means your emu dust in exercising.
Ohhh. lol.Hey Laura! I haven't talked to you in AGES.
I feel so invisible*skulks*
*shouts for MAX !!!*
Random Thought:Did people, as a collective, think that they smelled four hundred years ago or where their noses immune to the smell.
And four hundred years from now will people be thinking the same thing of us.
You are an excellent writer.To be able to express yourself as you do in print is talent.
Not many of us have it.
I enjoy reading your "essays" on ..well.... just life! You say what people think. It's not easy. I struggle with it every day.
My cafe got broken into. I had police and forensics up. Its all a bit distressing but hilarious too.
Great, I am on the whole time for a day and a half and it si sooooooo quiet. Not on for two days and it is really busy!!!!!! Not feeling good yet....pfffff and I needed to go to do those stupid computer test and phone simulation so they would see if I would get an interview next week....they didn't have time to postpone it and I had to go feeling really bad....took me two hours to come back..... I wanna feel good again...okay my by is making noise on his cup like I do when I prepare him a cafe latte...will go and make him one. the cheeky one...
what is it Fiona? Just got a package from my sister but it sounds broken. would feel bad to tell her if it is true.....Got Stardust! Now I have a headache, tired and don't feel well still....
Random Thought: What is at the end of the universe? Is it nothing, and if so where does this nothing come from? It isn't white and it isn't black but you can't imagine nothing without there being something. So, what I'm really asking is; What is nothing?
I've always wondered about that. What if we are just a very very tiny part of a very large place, something else, something bigger and beyond that is evolving as we evolve?I'm always thinking of that too, what if we were some kids science project that he left to decompose in some attic and this is how we've ended up.
Or if we were just a part of a coma patients dream and one day we would all disappear.
Questions about God and the Universe give me headaches if I think about them for too long.
I would never trust myself to shop appropriately, have fun with that.
I can only be here for a second, just curious if anyone sees me ...
Hey GEmma, I kept refreshing last night for like 10 minutes before giving up. Fiona didn't see me, and I didn't see your messages either. So weird.:(
Oh well, GR can't always be perfect now, can it?
We went to do christmas shopping for my bf family but ended up buying things for each other...... and I found out why I got a theatre voucher a bit more than a week ago!!! I thought it was a nice thing to do from the theatre since i came living here...but it was a suprise christmas present from a friend...jsut that it didn't mention that. she ahs been asking me a couple of time sif I didn't receive anything from her and called the company to tell them nothing arrived yet...while I got it almsot two weeks ago......
gonna watch our first movie selected for the christmas period....have a headache...
Hey Jeane!I got Christmas presents too! :)
They are in our christmas drawer..where are also the bag of Lindt chocolates which my bf's mum gave to him for me...those candy kinda wrapped balls with all different colors. Got the golden lloking ones which are white and the red ones which are milk chocolate. They are delicious, melt in your mouth and in the middle there is again a little bit of pure, wonderful chocolate. Those kind of Lindt are soooooo special and good.
Fiona wrote: "Have you seen Life on Mars?..."Life on Mars is only just coming to Australia, it's starting sometime this week and it looks good.
Random Thought: What book, that I have read, would I most want to be sucked in to.
Considering that most of my favourite books have an historical setting, i.e people stank, women had no rights and their style was terrible, it would be a hard choice to make.
Fiona, the Lindt balls are really good I don't like the tin bars of their chocolate but these are lovely.
with me it leaves a smooth, nice, lovely wanting for more taste, especially the white ones!my tea is too hot!
the original onces are good, the golden ones. I jsut had a milk chocolate and white chocolate lindt ball with tea...mmmmmmmmmm
does she do also a big spring cleaning?
Ok, I'm over the "trauma" of the rather hilarious and tragic break-in so I'm going to write about it. To illustrate this, I've changed my avatar to the front porch of my cafe so you can see what Miami shutters are.I have Miami shutters on the back door of the cafe which is upstairs an outside flight of stairs and someone forced them apart, put their hand in and opened the locks. They let themselves in and took the money from the tip jar - just $2. There was something else missing as well, quite a quantity actually, and the police fingerprinted the container. They think they know who committed the crime, one of several local vagrants, and are asking themselves this question, "Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?"
Yes, that's all that went, the peanut-butter and chocolate chip cookies!
LOL....There are a lot of people who need help out there....lolGlad it was nothing more serious Petra...and I like your new avatar. :~)
Thank you Lisa. Its my cafe porch but I'll be back to Barbies soon since Fiona was so nice about them :-)
That is funny Petra. Now I can see why the whole thing had you laughing. You must make pretty good cookies!Wow Fiona, I almost sent you Lindt instead, but I picked up Rocher first, then I decided on Dove! I love those Rocher things.
Lisa love your stocking!
