A Tale of 3 Valentine's

At a table near here earlier today, two single women kindly enquired as to how Valentine's day was for their 3 married colleagues. The following were the stories recounted.
Couple 1. He got drunk Saturday night and was hungover on Valentine's day. He fell asleep from 1.30 to 5.30 leaving me to read the paper alone...lovely...bloody lovely !!!
Couple 2. He got up, ignored the card I had written the night before and left out for him and went to work. I took care of our 3 kids for the day and when he came home, had to hand him the card to open, complaining that I was sick of bringing up 3 kids on my own. He said " Fair enough...you go back to working full time and I won't do any weekend overtime !" That shut me up !
Couple 3. Having indicated that I was wearing skimpy MATCHING underwear before we went our Saturday night, hubby was a happy man. By the time that happy man dropped the baby sitter home at 12.30pm , the underwear was in two different corners of the room and I was asleep, drunk, snoring with all my make up on. He brought me an Americano in bed as I was too hungover to speak, took the two kids to football so that I got 2 hours on the couch. I regretted not having given him the Ireland Rugby jersey before we had been beaten by France ! Pride and Glory my arse !

The two singletons looked at each other, burst out laughing and exclaimed " Looks like we didn't miss much then !"
Marriage....it's not about Valentines day...it's about all those other days in between !

Running Naked !

Image
Yesterday I announced the the KOK's that I would be running the Judge 6K naked. By naked I meant I was going to leave my smartphone with it's running app in my car, not have it strapped to my arm advising me of every kilometer done, telling me my average speed and generally annoying me. I really enjoyed the peace and tranquility and ran my best run yet. http://womensrunning.competitor.com/2013/01/training-tips/naked-running_9269 There's alot to be said for nudity. This, of course got us to talking about actual naked running and wondering if naked runs exist and the difficulties we larger ladies would have. I set my mind to finding out all I could. It appears there is quite a naked running following, particularly, of course, in the old USA. The favourite one is the Caliente Dare to Bare 5k , which has the added advantage of a day long pool party to help you recover. I am fairly confident that alot of cooling down takes place in that pool, but maybe also a little hottin

Hunky Dory.....NOT !

Image
It was definitely the crisps ! This is the story of a girl who will NEVER eat the green Hunky Dorys EVER AGAIN ! The poor girl ( poetic license) thought last Friday night would be a straightforward evening of chat, dancing, fun at the evening of her first cousins wedding, but it didn't exactly turn out, as she thought it would. Of course The Mad One and the FIS ( fluent Irish speaker) set the wheels in motion, when they met in Lidl and decided that the men were to be left at home, and it would be a girls night out. Again The Mad One compounded matters when she offered to drive and collect the poor girl from her home on Friday evening to make the 90 minute trip to the hotel. On the way, the crack was mighty, but being three women in a car, there had to be a loo and coffee stop, at which point FIS showed her true Irish roots, bu arriving back into the car with a selection of snacks "for the journey home". A large bag of Minstrels and Galaxy Counters ( Minstrels without the

Fat Friends

The key to looking slim is hanging around with people who are fatter than you are.I kinda forget this and have failed to make myself look any better due to the fact that those I am most often seen with are all smaller than I. I am not suggesting that I hang around with a bunch of supermodels ( they will not be offended by this). I try to hang with the "built for comfort not for speed" type but the FA has let me down badly a) by turning into a slim person and b) by introducing an even slimmer Sparkle to the group ! And she's meant to be a friend!The Baking Queen is pregnant...thank you, the blonde declares she has put on a stone ( I am not sure but it's good of her to say) and Newly Single has a Thyroid problem...happy days !True friends ! Bigfoodiemama is too big presently. A drastic decision has been made....I will return to WW this Thursday....just before a birthday dinner out with the all of the above for the FA's birthday. I am declaring my intent so that I ha
