Over the weekend Mr 9 became Mr 10. He had
a bowling party which he enjoyed. I must confess that that I find the wall of
noise in those places quite challenging. I've only just got my hearing back.
However, I'd find organising a party at home even more challenging. Couldn't
organise a piss up in brewery. Or a meat raffle in a butcher's. Or an orgy at a
nymphomaniac convention. You get the picture.
With this in mind, I decided to finally
get with the 21st century and purchase a new phone so that I could start using
the calendars and reminders and things to help me become more organised. Shut
up. It could happen. I could possibly even take a selfie for the first time
EVER. I know - I haven't even LIVED. Apparently people can't possibly live
these days unless they take selfies every 17 seconds and photograph their food
before they eat it, so that's how I've come to the conclusion that I haven't lived.
However, I must confess that I STILL
haven't worked out how to use the contraption. I did point the thing at
my face thinking I'd take a selfie and recoiled in utter horror. Do I REALLY
look like that? I think there is a reason I've never taken one. Nobody needs to
see that.
In other scintillating news I had my first
tit crushing experience last week which was quite painful bracing. I have to
admit to being a big scardey cat and feeling quite anxious about it. But it was
over with in a jiffy. As they say, Mammogramming your boobs is more important than Instagramming them. Not that there is any danger of me doing that. I can't even Instagram my face let alone my National Geographics. But yes - PETRIFIED before hand. You'd think nothing would scare you anymore after
experiencing childbirth, right? WRONG.
Especially since experiencing childbirth
usually means you now have children. Which is scary. Because you worry about
them all the time. I must confess that after watching this report
about a paedophile ring and all the media coverage about the Daniel Morcombe case recently that I've felt
sickened and horrified. It makes me question all humanity and the wisdom of
blogging at all. Sigh.
Now I need to mention cake again quickly just to lighten the mood.
CAKE. There, that's better. Yes, I did have a lovely cake filled weekend
because of Mr 10's birthday and Micky Blue Eyes loading up with a few cakes
from an old favourite cake shop we hadn't been to in years. He isn't helping my
addiction. He is furthering it. I knew I married him for a reason.
Anyway, it appears that there is a mountain of washing awaiting me
to be put away so I had better end this gibberish here and get on with
it.
Later dudes.
Linking up with Kirsty from My Home Truths for I Must Confess.
What is on your mind on this fine Monday morning?
My monday has consisted of cleaning the house and I've had my jug, oh I mean mug of coffee and I really need another. My son is at daycare so it's a day at home on my own, bliss...although I'm sure, knowing me, I'll find lots to do and by the end of the day will not feel relaxed at all. I'm the same as you when it comes to a new phone. I swapped from iphone to android and I've often regretted my decision because I still haven't been able to figure out the new one. I don't know if it's the fact that the phone isn't as good or perhaps its just me who hasn't figured out how to use it properly!
ReplyDeleteI simply can't keep up with technology. Sigh. Hope you did take some time to relax.
DeleteNow the trick to the selfie, take it from high, to minimise chins appearing, tilt head a bit and take a few til you find one that looks nice. Or bugger it and put horrible ones up like I do a lot. CAKE! Happy 'birthday' to your boy and 'birth' day to you. Washing, will it NEVER END! xx
ReplyDeleteYeah I definitely need to minimise chins plus filtering for all my wrinkles. Thanks for the birthday wishes. xo
DeleteIt's still Sunday in the States, so don't talk to me about Monday. Sure glad I don't have to deal with woman things like mammograms. My wife says that if she'd known what female was going to be like she would have opted out.
ReplyDeleteYou make an interesting point about technology and how it affects us. Have you ever heard of the Amish here in the States? They're a religious sect that lives in the eastern part of the U.S. Their relgion doesn't allow them to live with technology developed much past the 19th century.
I'm a very tech oriented person and I couldn't live without my stereo and music, but sometimes I think the Amish are right about the distracting nature of technology.
Just think that when its Monday here, it'll be Tuesday there. I'll be dealing with Monday and you'll be that much closer to Friday. You can't get to Friday unless you start with Monday.

Yes, my Mum always says she's coming back as a man if that's a possibility...
DeleteI have watched a couple of documentaries about the Amish. Very interesting but I don't think I could live like that. Exactly - would need music. Hope your Monday wasn't too painful. :)
I've been trying to embrace the selfie in an effort to find my right angle ( I don't have one ) and be more comfortable in front of the camera ( it hasn't worked). I'm needing to move on to full DIY everyday style shots. They aren't exactly pretty. I'm not exactly giving up. Perhaps if they turn especially ugly someone will pay me to stop posting them to instagram and the blog? lol
ReplyDeleteYou always look great Rachael so I'm sure your selfies are fine. Eventually I'll post one but I might have to actually tart myself up a bit first lol
DeleteI take the odd selfie but they are not a daily thing for me. Nor is taking shots of what I'm eating because it's usually not that interesting really, especially if I was the one who prepared it! My Mr 9 turns Mr 10 next week and wants a space party with a rocket cake that he has selected and given me careful instructions to make. Good lord save me...
ReplyDeleteSame - my food is never that interesting. Good luck with the cake. I prefer just eating them actually...
DeleteHow clever of you to organise a 10 pin bowling party for your boy's 10th birthday!!! We did the same when our girl turned 10 :-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever had a mammogram. Oh yay. Just one more thing to look forward to ...
Yeah it sucks but we have to do it. Just one of the joys of being a woman! Thanks for reading. x
DeleteI'm not much of a selfie taker, altho I'll concede to the odd one or two - mainly taken with my DLSR so I can Photoshop the shit out of them before they ever see the light of day...
ReplyDeleteHehe - good thinking!
