Fun Times With Jo!

The day started out like any other.. dark.. sleepy and a little on the slow side. I got up and got my housewife groove on.. making Em her breakfast, coffee, lunch and dinner coz she was gonna have a long day at work. Then I got all set into pottering around.. doing the do.. wasting time.. time flew and the next thing I knew it was time to piss off to go and walk the parentals dog.. and that my friends is when things really started to get hairy..

I left the place.. got down ALL the flights of stairs to realise that I didn't have my earphones so I rushed all the way back up them.. and then off I set again! The sun was shining nice.. there was a breeze but nothing too chilly.. It was a really nice brisk stroll to the parentals.. 30ish minutes later I arrived at the door.. went to unlock the door.. with MY house keys.. not theirs. I had taken the wrong bloody keys! Yes I am that freaken smart! So I had to turn around again and go all the way home to get the keys and then head back to the doggie.. on the way back.. I came up with a great plan! I was gonna go up to the attic and see if I pumped the tires on the bike, if they would stay inflated! Success! They did.. so I then had the fun task of getting it downstairs.. it was a bouncy time! and off I set! I rode off into the sunshine!

Which is how I discovered my next mistake.. chinos are definitely NOT the pants to cycle in! Those fuckers have no give whatsoever! If I pulled them down slightly then the world could see my plumbers crack.. I know I'm hot and all.. but there are some things that strangers shouldn't see.. and then if I pulled them up as far as they could go.. I looked like a complete knob! I couldn't afford the time to turn around and go home so I just had to fucking model through it! and model through it I did.. like a supermodel in fact! That was until I discovered that if you push backwards on the pedals.. you actually break.. and well.. I kinda came to a big halt and nearly killed myself! Dude! some warning would have been nice! Actually I think I already knew.. I just forgot.. coz well.. I do that sometimes lol

I arrived in one piece.. got in with the correct keys.. walked the dog.. and then set off on my merry way away.. once again supermodel through it!

I also discovered that one shouldn't get cocky with the cycling.. which I obviously did coz I umm.. decided it was a good idea to text and ride.. for the record so not! as I nearly rode right into a pole and barrier! Whoooops! 

Then for some strange reason.. while I was listening to The Beatles.. I made the decision to go home the way that had the HUGE hill! I only just made it! I once again got my model on and modelled through it! It wasn't long until I was home and ready to walk Nemo.. he was very happy to have me home again.. coz I was a little late for his walk coz of the.. key stuff up!

Anyways.. here is a picture of the beastie bike.. yes bitchez, I have a basket! I own it! I work it! I totally pull that fucker off! Get over it! I'm totally a cyclist now! Bahahahahaha

Once home.. I managed to do another silly thing and bite my tongue really freaken hard.. so hard in fact that now.. at 8:30pm it is still sore. Go me. I'm awesome!

Oh and that is not to mention that I went to charge my netbook but didn't bother to actually plug it into the outlet. Not once.. but twice. Today really didn't end up being like any other day.. there seemed to be one little fun thing after the other! But at least I didn't fall off the bike! I did not pull a Nantucket!

Also.. I baked cookies! Yum! They turned out rather goodly! Peanut Butter, Oatmeal & Chocolate Chip! Any takers?

EuroDuck Baby?

Where o where do I start? How about I start with a lovely little package I received today from an awesome little Aussie.. Aussies sure do seem to love me! oh wait.. I think I am just loveable in general! I got a package of treats.. and Em was rather thrilled to have not one.. not two but FIVE packs of Eclipse mints! That should totally last her the year and then some! 

I think one of the best moments of tucking into the box was.. watching Em struggle with getting the bubble wrap off the jam! I thought she was gonna pop a vein! At least the jam made it safe and sound and I didn't have to clean up a gooey mess.. as fun as that is, I prefer to have my jam on toast!

Thanking you so very muchly Diane... expect a box of goodness coming your way in the near future. No arguments! Pucker up and deal!

And while I am on the topic of Diane.. last week she discovered that EuroDuck has been planting his seed.. in Australia and stumbled across this little sucker...

One Very Happy Jo!

Today I got a very very very awesome package from a little Aussie named Thea.. she rocks out the Brissy area of Australia, which means that they have an abundance of Kiwi goodies in their stores to keep all those damn Kiwis happy who move over there.. and the lovely Thea thought it would be rather nice to send me a monster of a package with this bunch of goodies in!

The contents... 

Whittaker's Peanut Slabs! Just in the nick of time too coz I ate the last of my stash just a few weeks ago..

Snickers Pods, Snickers (which always seems to be an item we send to one another.. Swedish Snickers is totally nicer right Thea? Or don't you remember?) and OMG Chocolate Fish! I haven't had one of these little suckers in YEARS! and when I say years.. I mean like 10 years.. if not more! Oh the memories that that little sucker brings back.. it was in fact the first thing I ate from the package.. here I am about to gobble it up!

Rashuns! Curlies.. aka Twisties! (not the Aussie ones but the real gooood Kiwi babies! OmNomNom!) and Gingernuts! I can't wait to tuck into these! My first thought upon seeing them was.. wow they are smaller now! Or maybe my hands are just bigger? Who cares.. I'm gonna gobble them like no tomorrow! Best thing is.. Em doesn't like ginger! Muahahahaha all mine bitchez!

Chupa Chups! of the watermelon variety! OMG HEAVEN! I ate one of these while I typed this up actually.. right now I am feeling so very spoilt! Awesomesauce!

McDonalds Shaker Sachet.. with bag of course coz the full true fake shaker fries experience wouldn't be complete without the  paper bag to do the shaking.. I do wonder tho Thea.. 1 bag.. 4 sachets! I know we recycle here in this great land.. but isn't that taking it a little bit far?? lol

Lastly, we move onto the main reason for the package.. other than to spoil me rotten that is.. and thats the noodles so that I can make my very own haystacks.. now all I have to do is buy some chocolate and peanut butter! and I will be in haystack OmNomNomHeaven!

Right now, I am feeling like one very happy little camper.. with so many goodies to choose from that it makes it hard to know what to go for! I sure do love getting stuff.. I turn into this big goober of a kidlet.. but there is nothing wrong with that as.. oh wait.. I'm always a big goober of a kidlet! Heck I got excited to see a lego R2D2 today too! [click me for photo] Thank you so very muchly Thea.. you're the greatest! I'll keep you on!

EDIT: Apparently not the greatest and I wont keep you on. Shit happens! #amiright?

Messy Bessy Em!

A new week.. in a new month! 

The weekend was met with a feast of seafood, cheese, toast and booze! Em and I set off to the parentals to eat until we popped! After the main was consumed.. a very hefty portion.. and a little crayfish juice squirted in the direction of pa.. we buckled in.. or should that be we unbuckled to fit in some apple pie for dessert! If I wasn't ready to pop before.. I totally was after! Em's mum made the really delicious cheese pie.. omg.. it really was to die for.. so cheesy.. so creamy.. so tasty! I now can't wait for next year to eat it again! I would invite you all.. but that would mean less for me.. so bitchez.. stay away from mah cheese pie!

I do enjoy a little crayfish party.. I get to wear a silly hat all evening.. and I totally rock it out! [I'm rockin] Em took her outfit one step further and attached a napkin to her pants.. coz let's face it.. she's a messy bessy! [messy bessy Em]

We ate lots.. drunk lots.. as you can see in that messy bessy pic of Em.. she is in charge of pouring the cough syrup.. oh sorry I mean Jägermeister. I did not partake in that.. instead I got something much worse.. that will teach me right? I just can't do shots like I used to. At least I got to have a nice shot of the peach liqueur that Em and I got for the parentals in Rome.. and that was lovely! Definitely a lovely way to end the evening.. and start the walk home.. in the dark.. with wobbly drunken legs!

The rest of the weekend was spent just chilling.. after I sent Em off to the parentals to eat more apple pie, she then went to a pet store place thingo.. where she decided she wanted a bunny. I said no. no. no. It is a well known fact that I don't much care for bunnies ever since my run in with the unhappy bunny called happy. I have never been good at moving on.. Anyways, here is the little thing that Em wanted to bring home.. [eBil bunny] I had the earliest of early nights.. which was bliss! I wonder what the week will have in store for me..
