Far be it from me to offend anyone, but it was drawn to my attention that yesterday, every other day I have not offered the option of "Utter Crap", on my blogs, and for this I apologise.
If you do stop by and read any of my ramblings, and you feel it is worthy of the Tag of "Utter Crap", please feel free to leave a comment to that effect. If you don't want to use the energy required, please just pass by without even letting me know you were there.

Fitness
So today I decided I must start to get fit.
I got up, not at 6 like I fantastised, but at 7.40, after everyone else. I stumbled through the bathroom activities, and decided train and then the mile and a half walk to the office would be good for a start.
4 minutes from house to train. Good start. On train, twitter a bit. Didn't avoid guard, damn, and then station. Starts walking. Got about 500 yards, and car goes past and peeps. P from work. Shit. He signals to pull over, but it is about another 500 yards before he can. I have pathetic shoes on. Not even suitable for walking distance, let alone run. I have to speed walk 500 yards, in on-coming wind.
Collapse into P's car, and thank gracefully, as I can with pink face, and gasping lungs.
Have to do better tomorrow!

Rant
Bloody hell. How do I encourage my daughter to be as committed and active as she wants to be when everything keeps falling over the top of us!
She gave up hockey, to be able to attend all her volleyball matches. She can't apply for a LOT of part-time jobs, because she would like to attend at least some of her volleyball matches - and employers don't want to employ someone who isn't going to be at their beck and call.
She got a week at an outward bound course, and it fell inbetween two Duke of Edinburgh Sailing weeks, one of which we had to move those to allow her to fit in her Outward bound course.
We booked a weekend away - her first volleyball match of the pre-season was scheduled for that day.
Her gran won a competition which involves a flight to london and a day over for both of them - she has another volleyball match on the day they leave.
It never ends.
Does anyone have the ability to split the time/ space continuum, give me two days for the price of one, and allow Tooli to do it all?

Have you ever flown a kite? Oh Yes Indeedy I have. We used to have "normal" kites. You know, diamond shaped, pastel colours, with ribbons. We loved those kites. Then we moved on to trick kites with 4 guide wires, and now we have a 5m stripy one which has the ability to bounce me along the beach at a rate of knotts! great fun! I don't do it often enough!
Do you wish on your fallen lashes? You know, I used to. I can't remember the last time I did. I can't remember the last time I found a lash, but I do remember my daughter and I holding our lashes tight in our palms, and looking to see if they had moved over. Lovely times.

Do you consider yourself successful? Yes indeedy I am. I have a lovely Husband who adores me, and I love him soo much. I have two fantastic kids who have never really given me any problems - Boy makes me worry sometimes, but only because he is 3500 miles away from home and doesn't keep in touch as much as he should! Girl is beautiful, clever, and talented, and is very like her dad. I couldn't ask for me. I love my job, and work with great people!
When was the last time that you made an obscene phone call? When I was about 17 I think. I was paying back for years of obscene phone calls I used to endure.
Have you ever asked for a pony? Yes, and a monkey, and a koala bear.
Plans for tomorrow? Work Again!
!
Can you juggle? I am stupendous juggler. Well that is a slight exaggeration. I can juggle, and juggle with shot glasses. I used to manage a bar where we advertised as "All Singing, All dancing, all juggling", but as luck would have it I was transferred to a branch where the staff were as miserable as get oot. And no one would sing or dance or juggle on request, so in order to fulfil the Trades Description, you could frequently find me behind the bar, singing at the top of my voice, while Tap Dancing, or Pole Dancing, and Juggling whilst, pouring drinks. I was multi-tasker supreme!
Missing someone now? I miss my Boy. cause he is far away. I miss my baby, cause she is at home. And I miss my Man every time i leave him to come to work. I miss my Dad, cause he died years, and years, and years ago. I wonder what my relationship with him would be like now? We were really close.
When was the last time you told someone "I love you"? I told Si, this morning.
And truly meant it? I Always mean it.
How often do you drink alcohol? Maybe once a month? Not as often as I did!
How are you feeling today? Actually, Am feeling great today!
Have you every tried to write a meme? Yes, and I just cant' think!
Have you ever been fired from a job? Yes, I was fired for "continued absence" - After struggling into work with a horrible cough, I was told never to come in when I was ill again, after everyone else fell ill. So I didn't. Doctor couldn't work out what was wrong with me, and signed me off, tried different things and sent me back, and I'd start being ill again. They fired me "not because I was bad, your work is great", but "you are continually sick". Shortly afterwards, I was diagnosed with Asthma, prescribed inhalers, and I'm fine and dandy. Their loss not mine!
What are you looking forward to? A weekend away in Lochgilphead! Yay!
Have you ever crawled through a window? Yes. When I was little, we frequently locked ourselves out and climbed in through the window, but I haven't done that for ages! Maybe I should try. See if my arse would fit!
What's the most recent bad meal that you had to endure? Mmmm, I don't do bad meals. My Si cooks mostly everything in our house, and he is Chef Surpreme!
Can you handle the truth? Can You?
Whose to blame for what's going on? I could tell you, but I'd probably get shot.
What will it take to fix it all up? A bit of paint and some pretty border.

Dread
But first... I had the dentist this morning. Not even the Dentist. I had the Hygienist. I decided yesterday morning that I should cancel. It would reduce the horrible feeling I had. But I text my Si to tell him, and he said "No". So I didn't.
I got down 10 minutes before my appointment, and had to wait ten minutes to be seen.
The Hygienist and her friend in yellow got stuck in about me, trying their hardest to choke me with the pokey thing, and break my teeth from the bottom up. One thing I will say though - They chatted to each other, not about me, but about buying houses. That totally distracted me. I'm going to ask the dentist to talk pap the next time I'm in.
I'm actually tired. Physically tired from the stress of having to go. I need to get over this.

Friday 5
WWW.FRIDAY 5.ORG
What is the longest distance you’ve traveled (in one trip) by foot?
7 miles. In Edinburgh, one January. It started snowing. I had never experienced snow like this in my life. I live on the Clyde Coast, warmed (ha ha) by the gulf stream. Snow is rare and when it does, short lived. I stayed 2 miles from the college, and contemplated walking but thought better of it. It was 1/2 mile up a hill, 1/4 down, and then another 1/2 mile up. Too far in the snow. I waited for the bus. I waited an hour. It never arrived. I decided to get on the first bus and just juggle buses. The bus took me to Lothian road -7 miles from my house. And the bus driver announced the company were taking the buses off the road. I nearly wept as I walked the 7 miles in a foot of snow and blizzard conditions.
What is the longest trip you’ve taken by car?
1200 miles. We drove from our home, in Ayrshire, to Dover. We drove over night after a full day at work. My husband and I alternated the driving to try and keep awake. When we got off the ferry, we drove the same distance again across France. At one stage, the children asked "are we just driving the whole holiday?".
What is the longest trip you’ve taken by plane?
New York. That was enough. On the return Both children took ill, 20 minutes into the flight. I spend the whole trip sitting between them, covered in vomit, switching sick bags to black bin bags. It got worse, because the air craft held all the passengers until we had been removed from the plane by the AMBULANCE!!!
What is the longest trip you’ve taken on some kind of water craft?
Dover to Calais.... But maybe actually Ardrossan to the Isle of Man. Ardrossan to the Isle of Man is a bit scary actually, because it was 6 hours, most of which was spent in the bar, by the time we disembarked we were paralytic!
What is the longest trip you’ve taken aboard a bus or train?
The circuit bus No 52 In Edinburgh. 2½ hours of sheer hell. It drove around the outskirts of Edinburgh, taking in the worst places in the city. At times we were actually sore afraid!

Why, what?
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?24, Old enough to be my children's parent but young enough to be full of fun and daftness.
Which is worse, failing or never trying?
Never trying. Feel the Fear and Do it anyway, that's what the book says. Please note: I've never read the book, maybe the book actually asks you not to do it, and it's a sarcastic comment. But I like to think, there is no shame in failing, only shame in not trying at all. If you want something bad enough...
If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
I've stopped doing things I don't like. I only do things I like to do, and things I'm not fussy about, if they are a means to an end. Good job I actually like my job eh?
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? oh god yes, I talk far too much!
What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
I would stop all these flipping hypocrytical stars telling me to feed the world, and stop starvation, and save the planet, and tell them to get their hand in their pocket and do it first!
If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
Serving in my own bar, where only nice people were allowed, and the kitchen never made any mistakes with the food, and the booze although cheap and plentiful did not cause angry drunks.
Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?
Am settling for what I am doing, until I have repaid enough debt to do what I believe!
If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
Wouldn't change a thing..... I have the man I love, two great kids, and a good job! I might try to get to France more often!
To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? Very much. I do what I want, go where I want, and Love the man I choose!
Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? doing the right things! I'm a bit slip shoddy, I do lots of things, quite well, but I do the right things, as opposed to the wrong ones! Karma and all that!

For years i've tried to keep a diary - you can see here, I come and go, but with the exception of one day, and it was excusable, I've blipped every single day. Wow!

Terrible Tuesday
Husband has been gone since Saturday AM. Wasn't actually here in mind for the week before, he was awfully preoccupied with this trip.
Am feeling like am missing my leg. or my arm, or half my lung. I have no one to tease. No one to talk to. No one to whisper to in bed.

Mindful Monday....
Is it really, or just a bloggers bland banner for Mundane Mondays, for which there are no Other obvious titles to use for a days diary.
Here's my thoughts for Mindful Monday.
Am bloody tired. I have had two crap nights sleep, Saturday because I was sunstroked, and Sunday because I was alone. I was alone on Saturday night too, but I was more concerned with the burning sensation all over my body, than the lack of someone to moan too.
As a result I am sitting here at work, eyes, closing every so many seconds, as I try to stay awake and focused and not falling asleep.

Sunday Stole!
http://sundaystealing.blogspot.com/
1. Last movie you saw in a theater? Shamefully, Harry Potter, The first part of the last one. I hate cinemas.... Well I hate the people in Cinemas. I love cinemas, I just hate there being other people than me in them.
2. What book are you reading? My Bookywook By Russell Brand. Well I say read. I read the first Chapter yesterday. I also read the first 4 chapters of a ghost story, and I'm 1/8th of the way through another book. I can't sit still long enough these days to read for very long. My mind isn't calm enough.
3. Favorite board game? Scrabble. Am pretty rubbish at it, but don't give in, never surrender. My mum bought me a "Scrabble Cheat" book, so that I at least stood a chance sometimes.
4. Favorite magazine? It has changed recently to Prima. Although I was reading Primas which were about 2 years old. They have recipes, tips and clothes patterns inside them. I love them.
5. Favorite smells? Issy Mayake L'eau D'issy; DKNY Pure; Viktor and Rolph Flowerbomb; Cut Grass, bonfires. My husband's neck as I snuzzle in at night.
6. Favorite sounds? Meesak. Loud, bumping meesak. Currently CeeLoo. And always, Roddy Frame!
7. Worst feeling in the world? Stinky Migraine. I suffer quite frequently. Not nice.
8. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up? What day is it?
9. Favorite fast food place? I had to think about this, and in reality, I don't think I have one. There used to be a Spaghetti House in Glasgow or the Italian in Dunfermline who let us carry out (fellow restauranteurs are quite obliging), I loved sitting eating my creamy pastas at home, out of silver tubs, after a long hard day on my feet.
10. What’s under your bed? Boy's exercise thingy. Too big for any other room, after we moved Tooli into his room when he moved to Yank City.
11. Finish this statement. “If I had lot of money I’d….? Buy my son a flat in Mount Olive, my daughter a flat in Cambridge, and I'd take my honey to a desert Island, Mystique.... Is it still about? Or the one that Richard Branson owns! Again - Don't like people.
12. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? I would never refer to my husband as either stuffed, nor an animal.
13. Storms – cool or scary? Cool. the coolest. I would love to be a storm chaser, if I could be sure I'd find a bridge to hide under when it swept over the top.
14. Favorite drink? Now there's a question. Wild Turkey? Jack Daniels?
Strawberry Cosmo - but only when drunk in the bar at Lido? Cup of tea? cup of Coffee? Cool glass of milk. Jack D and Ginger Ale I say!
15. Finish this statement, “If I had the time I would….”? Go to a health spa and be forced to loose loads of weight and get fit.
16 If you had to dye your hair another color, what would be your choice? A Natural brown. My normal, young hair was reddish brown. Now, I am scared that if I stopped dying it, it would be grey, all over.
17. Favorite place to relax? Anywhere that I can place my head on one side and sleep. I am a sleep monster.
18. Name all the different cities/towns you’ve lived in? Troon, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverkeithing, Glasgow, Symington, Troon.
19. Favorite sports to watch? Volleyball. I have two Volleyball daft kids. Volleyball is their "thing". It would be criminal not to love to watch them!
20. Would you like to be born as yourself again? Yes, indeedy. Even with the bad things, my life has been grand, and I'd get to do it all over again which wouldn't be a bad thing!
