I am moving to South Africa immediately. Oh, how I need a caring owl.

Oh, and COS online will be my downfall, too.

I didn't do anything as exciting sounding as tea caddy stroking.

Fought the 5 year old for the remote control so I could watch Badger tv. On the Beeb's red button, or 301 or something. Can you get iplayer? Does iplayer do Autumnwatch? You need to watch this, 6 hours of badgers sleeping. It's almost better than the owls. And it soothes dieting/not smoking. Or this might work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLdv6gler_M
wv carfula crap? crumbs? dvds and small toys there will be hell to pay when we can't find? certainly not petrol

Me and a friend decided that one of our housemates needed a pity fuck, put in action by me. I slid in his bed last night to give him an opportunity. That idiot appeared to be sex educated by porn films, and though I was ready for a lousy sex, I actually had the worst sex EVER. That guy is a really lovely chap, but he would need at least 2 year intensive sex education to get to ok level
World needs RedCross for sex.

Went out to dinner with some old, old, old and lovely friends. Have been on a diet for 2 weeks. Had champagne, at least a whole bottle of wine, nibbles, enormous curry, profiteroles.And a cheese board. Oh well.

What's with this Autumnal dieting, I thought that was reserved for pre holiday/post christmas fear. Autumn is the time for pie, cake, roasts and soup. I'm currently tucking into my second piece of flatmate birthday cake. Second of the day, birthday was friday...you can imagine how much cake i've eaten anyway it was baked by me, which is my excuse. Also nursing a horendous hang over.

Do your two boys know about the "magic" of mixing baking soda with (el cheapo) white vinegar? This little "trick" (and my sole exposure to anything remotely resembling "academic chemistry") used to amuse daughter and her friends.
You can put food coloring in the baking soda for "special effects".

This weekend has been a washout, quite literally. I'm doing a 24-hour cleansing diet AND the laundry. (Boo. Hisssss...)

DikTat, the un-fun, calorie-free candy bar. Perhaps they could have something religious inside them to boot.

I took ten five year olds to the park for a pirate party. Ahoy. Need a lie down now.

Spent the morning at the hospital being monitored for signs of labor. After the doctors decided the baby's arrival was not imminent, went to Culvers and ate Wisconsin comfort food (pot roast sandwich, frozen custard). Alternated lying in bed surfing the interwebz with the cat and lying on the couch watching tivo'ed reruns while my husband did a credible job with the laundry and bought appalling food at the grocery (frozen potpies, flamin' hot corn chips, etc.). Currently eating fresh pineapple because it's the old wives' tale for hurrying labor that involves the least amount of effort (compared to walking, sex, etc.).

I am following one of those demented diets. It seems I am allowed to eat nothing but nonfat yogurt, egg whites, and oat bran, but I cheated tonight and ate leftover sushi of doubtful provenance that my husband brought home from a conference he attended this morning. I am probably going to regret that, for more than one reason.

What else did I do? Was powerless to resist the lure of anthropologie and ended up in the dressing room with two pairs of trousers, two skirts, two dresses, one shirt, and three sweaters. Luckily most of it looked horrible on me or we'd have to default on our mortgage.

I got a puppy.

Washed out the greenhouse. Sprayed houseful of flies. Beat that for non-aspirational country living.

Up at 6am to drive my son and his teammates into SF so they could go to cross country meet in the East Bay. Bought food for my daughter to take in to school where she's working "tech" in the drama dept on way home. Dropped youngest daughter off at volleyball and stole an hour to go to an estate sale in beautiful Nicasio. Nothing to buy naturally as it was the second day but it beat coming home to do the washing up. Seeing "Shame" with a friend tonight for a little bit of British film indulgence. Husband returning from 8 days in Hong Kong tomorrow thank the lord.

We had to go to Germany today, because Belgian beer is not good enough, only German beer will do..but German red wine is excellent, did you know?? Worth the trip...

I brought the snack of despair today: brazil nuts in the shell. It's so much work and so much futile stabbing with the little nutpick that I've eaten exactly three before I quit. And I'm starving.

Just in case you wondered if there was anything worse than no food at all.
