Weird Confession


Okay, I admit that while blogging, I have a mouth like a sailor. You might be surprised to find that I pray faithfully twice a day. Once in the a.m. and once in the p.m. The strangest thing happened last night while I was saying my night time prayers! First a disclaimer: it was after midnight, I was being inched out of my bedspace by la nina, Mr. Muse Girl was snoring up a storm and I had taken some Benadryl to help me sleep. Anyway--so, I'm saying my prayers outloud in my head and suddenly I slip into a British accent for like four words. I stop and giggle a little. I ask for forgiveness and continue. I slip BACK into the British accent AGAIN. Now, I cannot affect a British accent while fully awake and aloud at ALL. I suck it up pretty badly when I try. However, I tell you that I was flawless. I cut my prayers short with a quick AMEN and continued by listing in my head the things that I would accomplish today, but with a British accent. Not a Jane Seymour, Julie Andrews accent but a Jane Leeves from Frasier type thing. Very blue collar, very cockney. I couldn't stop!!! Finally, I exhausted this folly and fell into a sleep. I cannot even begin to re-create this inner dialogue for you and feel silly even trying BUT I'm gonna! I'll just list a few of the items on my agenda for today. You must picture a Bridget Jones, Daphne Crane etc. type accent for this:
1. Right, so I'll pop to the exercise room for a bit of walking.
2. Next, I'll grab a bite to eat then.
3. Going to take the little one to the shops. Hope he doesn't bugger it up.
4. If there's time, I'll color me hair before returning from holiday.
5. Oh, a bit of wash is in order as well. Not a spot of clean laundry to be had!
Oh, Bugger me!!! This was Fun!!!!

I recently challenged Blither Blather Blogger to find the positive side of 10 things that I KNEW would be hard for even her. I issued the challenge as a way to reconcile with her new found optimism that was chapping my ass but hard! pause for quote:
The place where optimism most flourishes is the lunatic asylum.
Havelock EllisEnglish sexual psychologist (1859 - 1939)

So, she issued her own challenge of sorts to me. I spent hours rising to the occasion. So, here are my favorite things in Julie Andrew's fashion:

Paint drops on canvas and chocolate on ice cream
Little girl giggles and a winning soccer team
Bright silver bracelets and 2 shiny rings

These are a few of my favorite things.

Warm comfy jammies and slow sexy tunes

Kisses and crisp sheets and long lazy afternoons

Dragonflies that dance with the sun on their wings

These are a few of my favorite things.

Toes in white sandals with petal pink sheen

Candy that melts in my mouth at Halloween

Roaring log fires that pop, hiss, and sing

These are a few of my favorite things.

When the child cries, when the husband scolds, when I'm feeling

tense

I simply remember my favorite things

and then I don't feel so pissed.
Top 5 ways to Promote World Peace as suggested by Muse Girl:
1. Everyone in the US embraces imported beer. It is more satisfying than domestic. Satisfaction=happiness=peaceful
2. Hour long lunches followed by 30 minute naps on a daily basis.
Sated and well-rested people=peaceful people
3. Madatory Mood Stablizing pills for the entire population.
High and happy=peaceful
4. Free weekly massage therapy for everyone who wants it!
relaxed=peaceful
5. F-bomb comes off the curse word naughty list and is accepted in mainstream society as an acceptable release of anger/frustration.
unrestrained=peaceful
Happy F'ing New Years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
