If Your Tempted To Complain

(title refers to link at bottom of post)

Warren has gone to Wellington for the week and I’m planning things to do. (watch out Auckland). LOL.Actually if I had thought about it better I could probably have organized a get together with a friend who recently separated from her husband as I am sure she would be up to letting our hair down and getting out on the town, but I imagine I have left it too late as she has two children and lives 2 hours away so a bit more planning would have been needed to execute the plan.

Anyway, tonight I am dropping my daughter off with her Grandad and my mother, sister and niece are all off to a fashion parade that is put on by a chain of woman’s clothing stores. Actually my sister is one of the models who will be walking the cat walk so the rest of us peasants will just be spectators. I actually went to the same event last year and it was quite enjoyable. The fashion parade is held in one of the stores after hours and they have drinks and nibbles on arrival. The evening includes a few spot prizes to lucky people who either have their ticket drawn out of a lucky dip, or who manage to sit on the lucky hot spot chairs. The prizes are defiantly worth winning. There are a couple of minor that are a $25 voucher to be redeemed at the sponsers stores, then there are a few $50 vouchers, with the big prizes of the night being $250 and $500 worth of shoes and clothing.I will be staying the night with my sister and niece, then tomorrow I have booked the third dermabrasion appointment at the ‘all about you clinic’. I hope its actually doing everything it claims it will, (promote new cells in order to make the outward appearance of your skin clearer) as its not cheap so I don't realy want to waste money if its just another quick fix dud.

Now in regards to the optifasting. Things are still going fine. I started to crave protein at dinner time (was fine throughout the day) but could have eaten fish by the kg last night. I am aware that protein does not contain carbs so I will remain committed to the opti fast shake at the moment, but will ask my specialist about my protein cravings when I have my one month review in a fortnights time. I am sure I can do this. As I am under medical care for my PCOS my specialist (who is just lovely, have I mentioned he is just a doll. He is from the old school of chilivry and always gently guides me by my elbow as we walk towards his office. I think it is very sweet, as he is not a young guy, and it probably should be me making sure he doesn’t need assistance) lol.

Before I sign off for another day, I thought I would add this link that I watched today. Aside from watching it and thinking WOW (real tear jerker) I thought how lame it was that I was sitting around contemplating how difficult opti-fasting is when this man has dedicated his life to helping his son. What I'm doing is nothing.,,,,, gee I’m pathetic sometimes. Please take a view minutes to watch this awesome guy, truly an amazing man.

We are all for women's lib and all but I myself, definitely like a bit of old school attention and care! Blair always walks on the outside edge of the footpath so he would get hit or splashed before me. Gotta love him.

Awww, that video made me cry! I have seen the Hoyt's before, they are an awesome team, that Dad has shown true love for his son, and they both deserve everything good that life has to offer them. Long may they enjoy their sports and family love.
