I stepped on the scale this morning. Holy Shit! I am up 5 lbs. Not that I'm really surprised since last week we had our Success Sharing party at work - food all weekend... and into the middle of the week. This past Wednesday our Northern Divisional President walked the store and... as you might expect, they brought in more food. Unfortunately, I have been cursed with the ability to graze. That's right! The dirty, little truth is that I am a grazer. Never take me to a buffet. My definition of smorgasbord is more goes in... my mouth. For a grazer, I've had a really great 3 weeks. Now I must face the ugly truth... calories count. Shit. To make things even worse, when I graze I also turn into a sloth...

And isn't Brexit turning into a big cluster fuck? Blame those damn conservatives, the ones who said "this is going to be easy" (wrong). You know? The ones who promised the UK would leave the EU "on our own terms" (wrong). Boy, did those conservatives sell the British people a bundle of shit. The Idiot Jerk in the White House is anxiously waiting for Brexit to happen. His administration is already looking forward to the 'great, trade deals.' Yo! Britons! In case you didn't know, the Idiot Jerk's definition of a fair trade deal is to "take you to the cleaners." When he and his minions say 'fair deal,' what they're really saying is "what's in it for me." They don't care about setting up an equitable trade accord with the UK. If you give him the chance, he will bankrupt you.
In a way the Brexit mess mirrors our own mess over here. Hope you can get your yard work done this weekend. I think winter is finally over!
ReplyDeleteAnd, once again, it is the Conservatives who are to blame.
DeleteI hope to get much accomplished.. which will be nice so early in the season.
hope you and the von trapps get some fresh air; it's supposed to turn more winter-like temps next week.
ReplyDeleteThe kids will sleep well tonight!
Deletewith me it's not nude season and nude season. How nice you get a weekend with the rest of us for a change!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had that problem when I was little, keeping my clothes on.
DeleteBrexit = _____.
ReplyDeleteBoth suck for their respective countries.
And both are the face of conservatism.

ReplyDeleteAaaarrrgggg the B word. As someone who is now having to get my paperwork together to request a French resident's permit I am spitting flames. One million expat Brits in the EU did NOT get to vote (and that includes me and my family) but now we get to have the sword of Damocles hanging over our heads re our right to stay in our respective countries and the right to keep our jobs. The fun part is that the local prefectures (the administrations that will be handing out these permits) is no longer setting up appointments for us to submit our paperwork!!! We should probably all just up sticks, go back to Britain, demand social housing and go on the dole!!!! I personally and my family will be ok in the end but it is causing serious problems for some. "Piss up" and "brewery" spring to mind!
ReplyDeleteThose damn conservatives have been screwing things up for quite some time now.
DeleteThe thing to remember is it wasn’t just Conservative voters who voted for Brexit, so did Labour Party supporters. I’m not party political but if anyone thinks that by getting rid of Conservatives in a general election and replacing them with a Labour Party (with its current leader) that it will solve all our problems then they are very sadly mistaken.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I remember the conservatives sold an overly simplified idea to a number of voters who were feeling disenfranchised: everything will be fine if we go back to the way things were. Solving problems is a learning process, there is no fix or easy solution.
