season premiere......

Well not really, but I thought it was about time I showed my face :)

What have I been up to?
Cant say I can think of anything extra exciting really ( At this point I should maybe make up a fancy tale, but lack the imagination)

A quick run down:

• Still going to the gym,Got a hott body,6 pack,Smaller boobs (barely a handful) and larger but less wobbly legs, according to WP anyway....Still my pants are getting looser even if I cannot see any difference. I haven't been going to Yoga for a while, I must get back into it soon, I was thinking about Pilate's as well (Monday evenings)
• WP has had another birthday, still waiting for one of his pressies to show up (dam you ebay T shirt seller!!). I was going to burn bake him a cake but he was off for a few days so I couldn't fill the house with smoke bake without him knowing...So he got off lightly this year.
• Went to see Oceans 13 yesterday, aside from the Brad Pitt on the large screen obvious attractions the film was ok too. What was not ok was the concessions costing as much as the tickets...No time to stop off before hand to stock up on goodies.
• The Sopranos, yes I know this has probably been disscussed to death but I have to add my 2 cents....At first just like everybody else I thought the cable was out, you got to hand it to David Chase love him or hate him he got everybody talking. The next morning the amount of hatred on the HBO forums was unprecedented Hee. As for me, well I am glad ole Tony didn't die, (or did he????) I like to think he lives on...I hate when things end.But really what is there to look forward to now on a Sunday night?
• I have sorted out my PC to within an inch of its life, its so organized now(well it was, little files are creeping in here and there where they are not mean to be...I will get to them soon)
• I have a number of emails in my in box which I still need to reply to, If you are one of them I haven't forgotten you I have just been lazy.....
• I had an urge the other day to re-read the Flowers in the attic series so am hunting them out on ebay as I type (3 down 2 to go)
• MUST make arrangements to either pre-order the last Harry Potter( sob) or get some kind person to take me on release day (July 21st) Another thing I hate to end.
  

Gosh, I am having trouble thinking of things I have been doing, we have had meals out, fights, meals in, watched movies, its (nearly) July and I haven't even been down to the pool yet.
I have to babysit tomorrow evening for TM woman, I still haven't gotten my $100 from the old neighbours ( who I have now found out they have moved just over the boarder to Illinois) Bah!

Bloody Hell! This post is full of mindless, useless drivel, still at least you all know that I haven't pissed WP off enough (yet) for him to have killed me and buried me in the basement.
I will try and make a real effort to visit everyone and post some more on here, If I don't see you I wish all my American pals a happy 4th, and now my friends I will leave you with this song( a current fave) Off to bed now.

More Christmas and a moan.

I have caught the Christmas bug!

This first song I dedicate to Orhan because like him I get sick of hearing it,but it takes me back to the time in my life that I was Wham crazy.
I was totally in love with George Michael, he was the greatest person to walk the planet. My God what was I thinking! I even had my hair the same as his and wore the gold hoop earrings. When this song came out me and an Ex's brother recorded ourselves singing it ( Hey I was a teenager). He put it on cassette and we had a photograph of the two of us wearing Santa hats which he made into a cover for the box. Yikes two of my worst fears a photograph of me and even worse the sound of my voice on tape! I am pretty sure he has it to this day, well he certainly still had it a few years ago.

Wham- Last Christmas
I played this song to death, so much that I am still sick of it today.

And who could forget Band Aid, I love this video simply because its so good to look back and see all the bands that were a big part of my life back then. The video also has one of my favorite ladies on there- the late Paula Yates (married to Bob Geldof at the time before she ran away with Michael Hutchence)

Band Aid - Do they know its Christmas

Now to other good news, Thank God that Melrose didn't win last night on Americas next top model. I had this sinking feeling as soon as it was down to her and Carrie dee. But all was good in the end.

Now annoying news, I am owed money! I looked after some kids a while ago - in fact the people who had this apartment before us, they both worked nights in the medical field and their shifts clashed on a Sunday night- sometimes on a Friday too.
They have three kids aged 10, 3 and 5mths, They asked me if I would sleep over on said nights for a pittance really $25 per night. But I did because they were stuck and had no one else to do it.
Not only were they terrible payers but the house was always a disgrace- I don't mean just untidy but often filthy.As in dirty diapers on the living room floor, on the bedroom floor and the toilet...Well you can imagine.
More often then not I would load their dishwasher and clean the kitchen simply because I needed to get to the sink to make the baby's milk or clean some bottles( which were rarely made).
Added to that the 3 year old would never be in bed - This is 11pm I am talking about, they would let him nap late evening so then he would be up till 1 am often. Which is not good if you want to get some sleep before the baby wakes up at 4am.
Then they would rarely be home on time - 8am which meant I would have to make sure I got the girl up for school.
Anyway they have since moved up the road, still owing me $100+ I have tried to call several times but I show up on their caller ID so the phone never gets answered. I have been round and knocked on the door - no answer. I tried to call again the other day and the eldest girl picked up, just as I was asking to speak to her Mum or Dad the mother came on the phone:
"Who is this ?"
"Hi It's Pixie"*
"Who?"
"Pixie"
"I don't know who this is "
"Is this "Mother"** I am speaking to?"
"No"- Liar! It was her, I recognised her voice and the little boy in the background! You can also wager that she doesn't get that many people with a British accent calling her up either.
She then hangs up saying "I don't know who that is" !!
I tried to call back at once- you guessed it no answer.
