Oh my, don't I look elegant...not!









So still a little pissed off that my lovely husband, inspite of going to bed every night with Rennie (that's not a girl btw) because he was so stuffed with food - full fried breakfast, hot dogs, pizza, burger, chips, puddings, cocktails, beer... - has put on ZERO pounds. When I weighed myself Wednesday morning I had put on 9lbs!! I guess mostly water and bloating as that figure is 5lb lighter this morning, yay..but still. Where is the justice? I think I have it figured out. So with all my yo-yo dieting my fat cells have been expanded and shrunk so many times that they are now like balloons, pour in a little extra fat, sugar, calories and out they pop like they've been there and done that (funny). Hubby has nice stable cells like footballs, pour in the extra calories and they get a little tighter but they push back, like wearing a girdle - no I have never worn a girdle but I have a good imagination!

Most of you know that I had a wee stupid incident when diving. Managed to get de-fogging soap in my eyes - and couldn't/didn't rinse for the half an hour whilst diving. Result - $900 doctor bill and very sore eyes that were swollen shut. The plus points - the doctor was gorgeous. I may have had my eyes shut but experience and a good antennae told me 'phwoar'. Bless, he even left the room when the nurse had to give me a jab in the bum, though I suspect this was more to do with it being close to dinner time and the sight of my big arse...., rather than his gentleman-ness. First night out, had to be led as I literally couldn't see. This shows great trust in my partner I believe as we didn't walk slow (this in itself is a miracle as anyone that knows me knows that I don't walk fast), no, off we marched. Not a single step, trip or bump! I must have looked scary - frightened all the kids away. Though I have to say, eating filet mignon without seeing is a pretty good experience. Enhanced the taste or something. Next night D'oh! sunglasses! A lady said I looked like a princess (think she was drunk). Not sure about princess, more like pop star - Stevie Wonder eat your heart out. No, you're right, ...more like Peters & Lee.

I have some bad news but I will leave it until next week when I know more (tissues ready - that's you - daughter & mother!)

This week I have learnt to be led by those you love and trust (Eugh pass the bucket). What I really learnt was don't put detergent into your eyes.

If life throws you lemons...drink G&Ts.
