Infomercial madness...

Have you ever woken in the middle of the night unable to get back to sleep? I did last weekend and cause it was too cold to move from under the covers, I turned on the tv. Not sure if its the same as in other countries, but without pay tv, the only thing to watch at 3am is infomercials, which are basically one hour long paid advertisements. So here I am in my semi-comatosed state readily absorbing the nonsense sales pitch for products that likely never sold in shops (hence the need to promote them while people are in a non-lucid state). All I can say is... it was a good thing my phone was out of reach, cause by the time I was ready to click off the tv, I was brainwashed into believing that every home, including mine.... needed an abtrimmer, zumba fitness dvds, and "magic makeup"! Oh my goodness.... shoot me now!!!

AHA moment...

Discovered something new about myself this week.... apparently (so my counsellor leads me to believe)... I AM a workaholic... DAMN!...I don't want to be a workaholic! When did I become one? I have accrued so much personal/sick leave cause rarely get sick. Still have all my long service leave from 14 years compounded. Just used my annual leave up last year on my European holiday (thank goodness for that break!). As it stands, I could probably take a whole year paid leave now..... thinking.... thinking..... dreaming..... mmmmm

Note to self..... Today you will start putting work in the background of your life....

Orgasmic eggs!

Went out for breakfast alone this morning in a nice garden centre cafe. Ordered scrambled eggs in what I imagined would be just a pleasant meal. OH MY GOODNESS! It was the most divine food I have had in quite some time. It started with a base of sourdough toast with a light spreading of home made pesto, topped with scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and red caviar. Sounds a little extravagent for a Sunday breakfast, but hey, its on the menu :)

Well before I realised it, upon eating this delicacy, I was moaning audibly (picture THAT cafe scene from "When Harry Met Sally" and you'll know what I mean! lol). Note to self: public orgasms over food is not socially acceptable! EVER! lol
