What happened to the week? I can't believe that its 6 days since my last entry. Hmmm...where is the time going? Why is it that when you're a kid you always seem to be counting down to something and they always seem to far away....christmas, birthdays, school holidays and the only thing that did go with any speed was the school holidays and before you knew it you were back at your wooden desks learning things that you probably can't even remember now. Now the weeks/months/years just fly by...hmmm...I'm not sure I like this. It means I'm getting older quicker!!
Still, I realised on Saturday that I did learn something at school as Cosmic was doing the Guardian crossword and I knew the answer to something about butterflies. All because I visited a butterfly farm when I was about 9 for a project we had to do. Of all the stuff I could have remembered though, I remember butterflies.. Yeah....really useful!
So as for the rest of the weekend, Friday night was very much vodka-fuelled and resulted in Loopy sitting down in the middle of McDonalds car park because she couldn't be bothered to walk anymore (this was after her crying in the pub!), me falling asleep in the back of managers car on the way home (or I may have passed out!) and Cosmic coming into my room and having a conversation with me at about midnight, of which I have no recollection!! Whoops!
Needless to say I did very little on Saturday. I sat around drinking tea and playing Super Mario and reading my new Harry Potter book before collapsing in an extremely hot bath that left me feeling a little woozy and light-headed!! I'm so clever sometimes....not!
I restrained myself on Saturday night when I went out with D and only had 3 vodkas - how very good of me - but still ended up going to bed at about 3am and then getting up at 9.30. Hmmm...not the cleverest of things but I managed to go and do my food shopping and then went to Lakeside on the pretext of helping D pick new shirts and ties for work. How did I end up coming back with a new book (to replace the one the holiday rep stole!), a pet for Cos(in the form of an electronic cat we have named Babs after the woman on the 'Power of Yoga' video) and a penguin-shaped shower radio that keeps falling off the wall and scaring me and Cos to death?
Seriously though, that damned penguin will be the death of us! The suckers don't seem to stick to our bathroom tiles properly (probably because they're a bigillion years old and pink!) and we thought we had an intruder last night. Being the brave fishies that we are we went to check out the noise, which turned out to be the penguin falling off the wall but we didn't know that, so we armed ourselves. Cosmic with a hairbrush and hair straightener, me with my 'Top Chick' mug- quite what we were going to do with them if there was someone in the flat I don't know but we ended up with visions of us hearing the noise in the middle of the night and us battering each other round the head with the nearest objects to our bedroom doors - hers being a Mountie, mine being a ball-shaped candle.
