So it’s been a difficult year and I know I’ve not been in the best of moods/spirits for most of it. It’s not as though I’ve enjoyed it. I haven’t. but I’ve now become acutely aware of the fact that if I let my jolly 20’s slip by in this manner, I’m going to be thoroughly annoyed with myself.
In light of this recent epiphany (moment of common sense) I’ve decided to take a more proactive attitude towards life. I started by having a few bites of a banana split last night. I’ve not been in a proper ice-cream induced coma for quite some time. Probably not since my tenth birthday. But it was a worthwhile exercise. There’s something quite cool about having a glass dish set down in front of you – filled with three flavours of ice-cream, stupid amounts of MSG-ridden sauce, and a banana. I wish I could have taken a photograph of the look on my face, but I’d left my camera on the kitchen counter (trinket graveyard). I’m surprised Mr B still has his hand – and that i didn’t accidentally take it off trying to eat his ice cream.
Here is a picture of what it almost looked like:
nice times
I also have some good news: My friends Dean and Ashley are engaged! I’ve been waiting for this to happen for eons! I’m so damn pleased for both of them. Much love to the future married couple. I’m not bringing a date to your wedding – I’m hiring a chaperone for myself. (wise move indeed)
Someone I work with did something really nice for me yesterday. They introduced me to LOOKBOOK. I am pleased to report that I spent approximately two hours browsing some of the best put-together outfits I’ve ever seen! The most interesting things is that most of the featured peeps are teenagers! Christ! (I guess that explains their great figures) well, just you wait and see tweens, you will get the spread when you turn 22. Then you’ll have to start loving chickpeas and spinach and all the stuff you refuse to eat now in place of cheeseburgers and boxes of chocolates.
Here is the blog of one of the young ‘uns I speak of. She is an absolutely haunting beauty, and she has some really cool style going on. Take a look and enjoy:
Peace out kids.
i love your humour babe…you should definately write more!!! you could write a book…say…’ a humourous history of the life of me’ lol
love you! friend
What’s life worth if we can’t eat crap, exercise it off and reward ourselves by buying a cute little number? Or in my case buying a spiderman mask and altering it into a Mexican wrestling mask for NYE to defy high fashion. Either way hope 2010 is a better one for you…and for mankind. Have a good one Beesus x
I am available for hire anytime Bi xxx Banana split sounds awesome!!
Could I interview the chaperone before attendance at the wedding?!
Beesus, you can no longer be a Maid of Doom. My future mother-in-law has decreed it not a possibility. I was thinking maybe, “Temptress of Eternity” or something potentially less flappy but more grounded in the Spleen and Smash’s future… x
The only thing cooler would be sharing a banana split with a banana split.
Love your writing B.
