Do you ever have those days when you are feeling a bit down for no reason, your stomach rumbles all day even though you have said it is definately the first day of a diet (again!), and you fancy a beer at 4pm? Just me on that one then...? Well, I'm having a mid-week slump probably because I have fallen way behind on my "creations" and everybody else in blogland seems to be having a burst of inspiration.
So sod the diet, I'm having this tonight, and yes I'm eating the skin!
Probably the reason for my slump is two-fold.
1. I went out to see Atonement last night with a group of girlfriends, a rare treat, and we are doing the book this month at my book group, so hoorah, enjoyment and homework! I'd bought myself a pair of very cheap (I'll come back to this later) pair of trendy skinny jeans for my not-so-skinny-body and felt ready good. So after a quick drink and a catch-up, bucket of popcorn, the film started. And then so did the blubbing. My sister and I were alternating between crunching popcorn and snuffly noses throughout, so apologies to the people in front. I won't spoil it for anyone, but boy what an adaptation.
2. I finally managed to track down a pair of shoes for Edith's christening that I have been coveting for months. I trudged us into town to get them in the drizzle and then dashed back home to try them on.
Alas, they are so narrow that it looks like I am trying to fit a pig's trotter into a silk purse. They are going back and I am sad. See what I mean.
I think a summer of Birkenstocks have splayed my toes. I shall be watching Stricly Come Dancing with a tear in my eye...
Oh and I've just realised that I have put new shoes on my kitchen table. Brilliant.
On the plus side though, Edith's new front-facing car-seat arrived today. So now I can look at her chubby, cheeky face at every traffic light. She looks so small and cute compared to all squished in her baby seat. Bless.
And aso my new fabric arrived. I can't wait to get the sewing machine out...
And as for the jeans. I realised tonight that my new jeans cost less that my chicken. How weird is the world.
