You may be thinking....what the ?
A few months back, my sister Claire was bringing Eilis to the bathroom in my parents house and while E was on the toilet (sorry to anyone who doesn't like vivid imagery...it won't get any worse), Claire decided to sit down on the weighing scales. She then told Eilis that it was 'Deeee-pressing' and now Eilis refers to the scales as the Deeee-pressing clock!
So I bit the bullet and bought one for our house in Galway yesterday evening. The nice folks in Atlantic Homecare had left them out beside the checkout....next to the sweets! obviously realising the many weight related New Year Resolutions and cashing in on the poor consumer. It's not an all singing and dancing body fat calculator, just a simple spring based scales....all comes to all, I'll use it to ensure a 4 stone back of potatoes is actually 4 stone!
Staying with the previous theme of personal improvement at work...one of the points most of the business books make is that you need to 'confront the brutal truths' so for that reason a weighing scales is needed.
I haven't stood on it yet....that will be tonight's task. I also saw on Phoney's blog that she's rewarding herself with a troll bead for every half stone she loses.....love this idea....and love those troll bracelets! She also made a super cool and crafty chart....fabby idea....
So, rather than start on the first of January (because that is well gone) I'm going to start today. I have a wedding to go to on St. Patrick's Day and that will be one of my targets. Will also use Valentines as an intermediary step.....Maybe even crafteire will be a target date in April...
Right enough of the serious stuff....what else is new, or what have I been up to since last week....went home at the weekend. The gang all headed off for my grandparents house on Saturday for a 'major clean up' because it's their 50th wedding anniversary in February and we're having a little celebration in the house. Saturday night went out at home with Tony's sister Deirdre who is just home from Oz, having been there for the month of December and over New Years. She brought home the most fabulous little fairy costume for Eilis....absolutely gorgeous. Haven't taken a pic yet, but will post.
My back was really sore on Sunday and I was in a bad mood (hungover and painful back = cranky Corina) and Monday it hadn't improved much. Thankfully today it is much better (maybe cos I lay on the floor for 2 hours last night watching telly....oooh I love Project Catwalk! and tried some healing yoga breath.....hmnnn)
I must include some pics...but I think they will have to be random ones cos I don't have any applicable or recent.....let me see.....
And more of the same malarky - tring on shades on hols somewhere...
In Edinburgh.....are you noticing a pattern to these pics (Brenda has long arms so she always takes the photo!)
But we are quite sophistocated at the end of the day....
