- We had macaroni with frozen shrimp tonight. I only bought them today, but I convinced myself when I took them out of the freezer that they looked and smelled a bit dodgy. I then cooked them through very well and they tasted fine. Now I feel queasy. I totally have psychosomatic food poisoning.
- When Jesus and the Devil were paired up for the maternity challenge in Project Runway, pregnancy leggings is what they came up with. SO comfy but SUCH a bad look. They did not get immunity for the next challenge.
(Then when the Devil designed a jumpsuit for the next challenge, called "Fashions we want to bring back," it was auf wiedersehen to him. (I cannot get over the fact that jumpsuits are all over the shops again just now.)) - I grovelled in the creche today, but not to the person in charge. I asked one of my favourite child minders to talk to the management for me. I'm such a chicken. A noncommittal chicken at that. I said she should find out who was taking the group and if they still had space, but that I would decide later.
I bet they're full, and if they're not they will claim they are. I wouldn't take me back either. I sunk to a new low when I played the "I was depressed and hormonal" card. - I am embarrassing myself most thoroughly by doing a before and after of my hairdressers appointment today. Just so I never let it go this far again. Really - I need to be shamed into making sure I don't walk around so frumpy again.
Before
I have to say the flash makes it look worse than it actually was. I think I still have more than 50% brown in there. It's the light, honest. But really - how can I be this grey at 33? I am a freak.
(Did you see the sticky-out belly?)
After
Better, right?

oh my god, are you levitating?
ReplyDeleteMe too! The grey and the psychosomatic food poisoning.... (although in this case it was elderflower (long story) not prawns). Hope we both get better soon.
ReplyDeleteFrumpy? You want to talk FRUMPY?
ReplyDeleteGod.
Get better soon.
OK I get it now, you're standing up and you took it from above..phew. I was freaking right out for a moment there, I thought you were hovering over the floor.
ReplyDeleteI got #1,2 & 4. Only my grey and psychosomatic food poisoning seems to be worse than yours. And as far as #2 goes, I'm not even pregnant. How sad is THAT?
ReplyDeleteI'm never going to look at the top of my head. I haven't even thought of gray hairs!
ReplyDeleteNow I've got psychosomatic graying hair.
Why I left teaching no. 231:
ReplyDeleteStudent 1: (in another language, obviously) "How do you say 'grey hair'? Because you've got loads"
Student 2: "And wrinkles?"
I was 35 at the time, 10 years older than my students.
Yes but if they reject you they are still evil biyatches.
ReplyDelete@screamish - Yes. :-)
ReplyDelete@planb - Yes, I hope you did, too. Mine only lasted about fifteen minutes.
@Ms. Moon - :-)
@All This Trouble - Ooh, tempting idea - to keep them for when I'm not pregnant... No, better not.
@erin - They're not only on the top of my head, you know - the rest is dyed. If you don't look completely grey and you don't dye your hair, you're just fine.
@Pueblo girl - Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to going back to teaching in a couple of years...
@GingerB - Thank you. I will remember that.
That's why I choose to be blonde - makes those grey ones much harder to spot!
ReplyDeleteOMG I remember jumpsuits first time round when oh so younger and thinner. But then I remember my mum wearing them. Can you just go for maxi dress instead .. cover all known sins or a binbag?
ReplyDeleteBNMx
Omg. I've just remembered, I had a cord jumpsuit! That zipped up the front! It was quite fetching :)
ReplyDelete@muummmmeeeeee - Choose to be blonde - I think it's too late for that. :-)
ReplyDelete@BNM - My mum had a hot pink turban! Mothers can be so embarrassing.
@Jo - I had a turquoise cotton one - also very pretty, but then I was EIGHT. I like the thought of a cord one, though. Very nice.
I totally have the psychosomatic food poisoning thing; hence the no-tuna after an hour rule, and the...well, yeah. I have that one BAD.
ReplyDeleteI have made up my mind that I LIKE my "distinguished silver" hair. I will keep telling myself that until I do.
And although I haven't play the hormonal and depressed card, I have used the-oh. Wait. Yes, actually, I HAVE played that one.
Shit.
Oh, I get it! You are a natural blonde, aren't you?
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks great, though I don't think you should be embarrassed by aging! Gray is fab too!
ReplyDeleteOh one of the perks of being blonde...my grey barely shows! It's AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI love the sticky out belly. So cool!
