Why thank you kind sir...

Those of you who know me will be aware that I am not often lost for words, and am more than capable of loudly expressing my opinions in terms that would make a sailor blush if the mood takes me...which it does surprisingly often for a lady such as myself!


Today was not one of those occasions.


On a trip to one of the less salubrious shopping establishments in our fair city a gentleman (using this term in it's loosest sense in that he wasn't actually committing acts of violence at that particular moment and was clearly a male) felt that he must LOUDLY comment in the middle of a rather crowded section of the mall that I, and I quote "have a magnificent pair of tits".


I was stunned, as were the numerous pensioners shuffling past at that particular moment.  So stunned that I was incapable of speech for a moment.  Then I did the only thing a classy lady such as myself could do...I thanked him!  I mean, honestly, what does one say when faced with that situation?


Some of you may be complemented on your body parts regularly, but with the exception of my husband it isn't something that I often hear, being a touch on the large side and the wrong side of 40!


After I made a hasty retreat, several streets away and to the relative safety of Myer my shock subsided enough for me to appreciate the comment and decide that yes, the girls are pretty fantastic... I happened to be wearing a tight top and a good bra today...so I would accept the compliment and allow it to make my day.


On another day I may have had a slightly more volatile reaction but what the hell...


I am interested to hear if any of you have run into someone who just cannot contain their appreciation for your physical assets in public?


And, if anyone needs some bra reviews written I am prepared to consider offers, after all, apparently my tits are MAGNIFICENT!

One month in...

Well my little blog is 1 month old today, it has been interesting, but also more work than I expected.

I love that people from across the world have visited, I love even more that some of you decided to follow me too! Mwah

People who have known me my whole life are learning new things about me and I am making some new friends along the way.

As I get more comfortable with it all I am sharing more, but in this first month I covered some of the big stuff, Beginnings, the early years, My BIG Mistake, Hysterectomy, Sisters and Changes.

And a fair bit of the smaller stuff too – Princes, Cyclists, Hookers and Baby talk.

I hope you are enjoying reading it as much as I am enjoying writing.

Why, thank you for asking....

I am NOT having a great day...normal transmission to return tomorrow....



Sisters

When I married I gained a couple of sisters, one brilliant, one not so. 

I already had a younger sister, she is great and I love her to bits but this post isn’t about her.

One sister-in-law I could quite frankly do without, and come to think of it I do! This post isn’t about her either...

The other helped me get ready for my wedding, was there during my pregnancy  to drive me to the doctor when I was too big to fit behind the wheel, was at the hospital for me during the birth, speaking out for me when things weren’t going great and afterwards, when I was finding my way as a new parent.   

I’m not sure I ever really expressed my gratitude...so will take this opportunity to say THANK YOU!!!!

There was the Christmas day where we drank our way through seven bottles of wine between the two of us, Super Mario Bros, Canasta, the camping trip when we had to fend off Godzilla sized goanna intent on helping itself to our supplies, backyard cricket and barbeques...too many good times to mention over the years.

There were also the not so good times, where we pulled together as a family to overcome the shit that life sometimes throws at you. 

I hope that you all have someone in your life like her ... it makes the journey so much better.
