| Ditsy escape by the skin of my lycra |
| Friday, December 22, 2006 |
This morning I was chatting to a very nice young man at the gym. We were laughing about the 1960s exercise machine that involved a vibrating wad of rubber placed around bottom and you just stand there immobile (sounds good to me!)... well except for your bottom which is wobbling madly.
Then he said if you remember the sixties then you weren't there
Me: and if you remember the eighties, then...
He: You'll still wear shoulder pads.
I only just stop myself from saying and fluro, which is lucky really since he is wearing bright fluro bike shorts and fluro green socks (two different shades of bright green fluro at that)Labels: ditsy event of the day |

| Ditsy Cleo comes out at a restaurant |
| Tuesday, December 19, 2006 |
| The waiter paid JJ and I lots of attention at our first annual splurge-at-fancy-pancy restaurant Christmas dinner - I suspect he heard me say 'oh he's lovely' when I thought he'd gone away, but instead he was right next to me, adding a second piece of bread to my side plate.

| You know you are getting older when ... #6 |
| Friday, December 15, 2006 |
You forget that you bought someone a book light as a present last year for their birthday then buy them one this year for Christmas (this really happened. The technical term for it is: memory lapse ditsy present-repeat).
Luckily, I just asked his partner - Did i buy your hubby a book light last year? Oh i did, right.
Good job i checked. Now who can I give the book light to?

| Newton's Third Law and Aqua Aerobics |
| Tuesday, December 12, 2006 |
Newton's third law of motion is: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
That's why when I was doing water aerobics last night, every time I jumped up, my bikini bottoms went down (showing significant beavage)Labels: ditsy event of the day |

| Really ditsy times two |
| Thursday, December 07, 2006 |
| I am such a ditz. I mean I know that's obvious since I write this blog, but this morning just confirmed it. I did something ditsy for the SECOND time. I yelled out 'the hot water isn't working' to my fellow house sharer then realised I was just turning the cold tap. Read about the first time Labels: ditsy event of the day |

| Walking the shopping centre emotional gauntlet |
| Wednesday, December 06, 2006 |
A visit to the local shopping centre these days is this emotional cavalcade for me. Every time I go, I'm walking an increasingly treacherous gauntlet through marketers who want to sell me gym memberships, cricket raffle tickets, massages ...
But it's the ones who want to sign me up for a monthly donation to [insert worthy charity here], which makes it a walk of guilt for me.
I start at the beginning of the gauntlet thinking 'be strong, it's okay to say no'. But they are getting sneaky in their smiley efforts to make me stop. Today I got: "hello beautiful girl" I mean who can say no to that? A. he said I was beautiful. B. he said I was a GIRL. |
