Chasing Noodles

This rule comes from none other than Roseanne Barr. And really, could you imagine anyone else saying this. There is an element of truth in this though and I can say that because I am guilty of whining about it every now and then. I think every single person is guilty of this at some stage or another. It might be because you have curly hair, or dead straight, a pear shape body or an apple, long thin fingers or short sausage ones.  We will always find something wrong with ourselves and for what? To moan about it to someone that would give anything to have curly hair like yours? It's okay to have a skew nose, it's okay to have beauty spots, it's even okay to be as dark as the night or as white as a snow man.  It annoys everyone else around you when you complain and just makes you feel bad about yourself, so either accept what you have and be happy, or start making changes. The Brazilian Blowout is amazing and can help you start changing the way you feel about yourself, a...

Oh Roald Dahl, how I love you.  Not entirely sure if this experience sums up the rule, but it's a great example. I needed to pop into Clicks the other day before work to pick up some medication but found out when I got there that i needed to wait another 13mins before they opened. it had to be one of THE coldest days and not being the best morning person, let's just say, I've been in better moods. Just as my last nerve was about to snap, a sweet old German man walked past with his bundle of washing for the laundry, smiled gently at me and said "everything comes to those who wait".  A simple little sentence that turned my day right around. I smiled back and not a minute later I was greeted at the door and welcomed into the warm store. Do you remember when you were a child, when you walked into a new place, you would stop and stare and take everything in. Now, as we have grown older, we "don't have the time to". We rush in, get what we need and...

Unless you enjoy loosing, which isn't normal and you should see someone about it. Alternatively, if you carry your own board then by all means, have a game of checkers. Just might be a tough decision who's board you going to use. Maybe you can throw dice for it. Highest number wins. Better idea, play giant Checkers!  http://www.popsci.com/gadgets/gallery/2012-01/archive-gallery-board-games-werent-always-fun?image=7

So life has been having a bit of a laugh lately and throwing all sorts at me. To say it gave me lemons is a bit of an understatement and I feel like I've been on a roller coaster. On my drive home today, the words from someone special played in my head. Spend time in water, it will give you all the answers. So I headed straight to the pool. Being a Pisces, this made sense.  It took me a couple lengths, then saving myself from drowning from the exhaustion and then finally pretending I was a mermaid with long hair to start relaxing and letting my mind flow freely. It was then that this came to me. The lemons thing, and normally the usual tequila saying follows but tonight it was about friends. And that honestly is what it all comes down to. Friends. I know I have spoken about this subject many times, but this time it feels different. It's that old cliche and probably a rule that is still going to come up, that when times are tough your true friends come out. Funny...

Wow, then I am aiming FAR too high! haha. Failing sucks, but if you get to learn something from that then its not for nothing. Seems like a bit of a dud reward but you have to look at it as a lesson.  There is the whole cliche "learn from your mistakes" thing and as much as none of us want to hear this, it really is true. if it isn't working and you keep failing, then aim higher they say. Well, some of us just see the failure as more of a challenge to try and try again at the same thing and the only lesson we take each time is to try harder next time and keep hitting our heads against the wall. Like playing Angry Birds , one star just isn't enough, keep trying till you get three! But you know what, if you keep trying you going to get all 3 stars AND the golden egg. It's just gonna take a whole lot more time than just taking the 1 star and moving on to the next stage. Well that's my thinking. Haha.  I blame Wayne's World for that.  Wayne Campbell ...

Weird, perfect scenario. Tonight Original (throw head back in laughter) and I went to dancing and I decided that I was going to wear my Toyota Cheetahs slipper cause I dance barefoot anyway and tackies are just a mission. Oh and i had spent the entire day walking around in 6inch heels. So off I went in my leggings, socks and slippers with my hoodie, ready for some serious salsa or jazz or even a bit of the fox trot. Original (throw head back with laughter) and I laughed as I was leaving saying that of all the nights, tonight would be the night that I would bump into my knight in shining armour and how one day we would have to explain to our kids how dad met mom with a pair of orange and black cheetah slippers on.  Well, the good news is, not only did I survive the evening without bumping into my knight, but I made it through a surprise dinner out, in public, with Dancing Queen without embarrassing myself too much. And my feet feel amazing now in bed, no pain, no cramping, ju...

"You used to be so amused At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal"   Bob Dylan By contending with someone that has nothing to lose, you agreeing to battle against someone that already has one up on you. They will enter with no anxiety and because they have lost everything they will feel no fear. So think carefully before you consider taking on someone like this. It wont end well.
