Or not as the case may be.

In the post below, the link to the Margarita website is actually the sentence that tells you about the link. Stupid blog, doing things me not want it to. Anyhoo, click on the sentence that starts " The above is a...."

please bear in mind tho that it takes you to an external page, outside of this website, the contents of which I am not responsible for. if I was responsible for this website I would be loaded. Rolling in the green would be a good term to describe it. But i'm not. No-one has ever loved me for my money LOL it must be my sparkling personality, but chances are it is probably cause I have big tits. Tee hee hee.

Rambling now, must work. Almost lunchtime.

I do get round to doing things eventually - this is the story of the midnight margaritta's but these things have to be done on the spur of the moment, which is why I want a recipe for Pina Colada ( that works) so that I can have all the stuff in the house.

Anyway, in case anyone is interested, this is the official contents of a margarita

ingredients†:
3.5cl (seven parts) tequila
2.0cl (four parts) Cointreau or Triple Sec
1.5cl (three parts) lemon or lime juice

Preparation: Rub the rim of the glass with the lime slice to make the salt stick to it. Shake the other ingredients with ice, then carefully pour into the glass (taking care not to dislodge any salt). Garnish and serve over ice.

So much for the me doing the regular writing thing! Mind not been with me much really this week - been else where - worried about my best friend at the moment, going through a bit of a rough time and I can't be there as much as I would really like to be! Also been wrestling with my computer cause it playing up - it would help if I got around to buying an external harddrive and storing all my music on there instead of me laptop - it does tend to slow things up a bit LOL. Ditto with the photos! But what with me being Scottish and a tight arse, I haven't gotten around to buying one yet. Have much more important things on my mind at the moment. Like what to do with all my spare time since Minimi is still in the UK!

Well quick run down of what i have been doing so far - Have gone back to my artisitic roots and started drawing again - just spend a fotune yesterday on Charcoal, Graphite, Various tools for smudging and rubbing and various other bits and pieces like sketch books. (If I ever get my arse in gear I will scan some pics and put them on - although I have a penchance for drawing nudes, so will have to make sure this site accepts them! And I will get around to posting St Trininans Night out photos on the web, although due to slowness of laptop that is not going to well at the moment!) I also bought some cavases and oil paints, but it been about 10 years since i tackled paints so that can wait until i feel braver - or am pissed. The pissed thing will probably come first!

Which leads me nicely into Friday night - My mate wanted to take me out to cheer me up cause I having a bit of a bad time lately, so we went to a BBQ with her husband and his mates. I was going to go for one or two and then head home, but matey persuaded me that the best thing to do would be to accomapny them to various nightclubs frequented by squaddies. Her persuasion and the amount of Jack Daniels I had consumed made this seem like a very good idea and resulted in me rolling in the door at 0445. (When you are missing and worried about your best friend, feeling lonely even though you are surrounded my tons of people and your mind keeps going blank when certain things pop into your brain, getting absolutely ratted and dancing all night is about the only option open!)

When I got in, I proceeded to draw on my other half's bald head as he lay asleep on the chair. It was ever so pretty - I drew flowers and Butterflies and gave him a moustache and some eyebrows. Luckily for him I got my hands on my eyeliner and not the permanent marker that i was originally looking for xxLOLxx Needless to say when he awoke he was not to amused with yours truly, but, I actually was able to utter the immortal line - Quite frankly my dear, i don't give a damn! YAY - I have been waiting my whole life to be able to do that - that is no 61 on my 101 things to do before I die list crossed off!!! Woo Hoo!!

Better go and acutally do some work now, although it is like the Marie Celeste around here - no-one to talk to and me bored. and I can hear the fax machine churning something out behind me which normally means more work for me to do. Pants.

God it seems like forever since I have posted something, but it has only been a few days. Not surprising since I am so out of whack cause Minimi has gone back to stay with her dads for the summer leave period. And i have been (semi-) enjoying the peace and quiet - been a bit bored to be honest - think it reached new heights when i took the toy gun i got for me birthday, hid behind the sofa and waited to ambush the dog. He absolutely shit himself, which made the wait on hands and knees well worthwhile. Other half not to impressed tho. He thought I was being childish and immature. Not half as childish and immature as I will be when i get bored enough to start running round ringing my neighbours doorbells and then running away! xxLOLxx

I know i promised an update on the St trininan's night out and the punk outfit but I have not managed to get around to that yet. I have been too lazy to put the photos onto the computer. But let me assure you it was a bloody fantastic night. Not the least because of the floating door in the gents toilets and my mates obsession with a 10 euro cocktail! More tomorrow - need to go home now - my new Harry Potter book has arrived, and I know everyone else on earth has read it, but I want to read it. Going to soak in the bath and not get out till it is done. Always wanted to grow up to be a prune.

MORNING

In a very good mood today sun is shining, birds are singing, and squirls are making rotten little squirrel noises (cheers spike for the quote) - but all in all it has been a very good start to Friday.

This is pretty much what my outfit for tomorrow night is based on - but be under no illusions, i am not japanese, or that thin, and will probably not look anything like this - but I did mention my outfit was only based on this yes?

I am getting excited already, and i still have over 24 hours to wait until the big event. Until then I have a few things to do. Minimi is going back to Scotland to stay with her dad for 5 1/2 weeks so I have much washing and packing to do - also have to fit in an entire summerholidays worth of fun into a day and a half - cause I normally love the holidays doing kiddy stuff with her, and I am going to mis her horribly

I also have to work out what the hell i am going to be doing tonight - am in a very mischevous mood today - the kind of mood that makes me want to go and ring everyones dorr bells and run away xxlolxx

god this is very random - thats what happens when i get excited and take too much pro plus.

Best go now - want to print off some pictures that i can sketch to try and calm myself down.

My day is definately improving - thoughts of impending boozing with good friends and pina coladas have definately cheered me up. Also got last of the stuff I ordered for my punk school girl outfit, so as well as being more cheerful, I am actually organised! New Jilly Cooper book has also just arrived, so will be able to read that while I am babysitting tonight - it's not her new one, but an old book (Class) that i just received an new copy of. think that made sense

Rambling now, definately back to my usual self xxlolxx

think I am going to look for images of Johnny Depp on the web now - have a thing about Captain Jack Sparrow - i'd definately shiver his timbers

Does anyone out their have a decent recipe for a Pina Colada? All the one's I have tried never just taste quite right - is there a secret magic ingredient?

This is only because I have decided to change from Midnight Margheritas (yes the idea came from Practical Magic!!!!) to PJ Party Pina Colada's

Explanation on the Midnight Margherita Story to follow.........

Dull Having a bad day already and it is only 0940.

The main cause of my distress is the fact that i am 28 but feel like I have been transported back to when i was 15 and in the playground at school.

Everyone remembers playground politics i presume? The kind of attitudes that made perfect sense at the time, but now seem really idiotic. For example, just because you happened to look at the boy someone had a crush on, suddenly you are transported into being the biggest tart this side of HongKong - having lost your virginity to a donky, sucked off half of the sixth form and then offered sexual services to the headmaster in exchange for a good end of year report!
Ring any bells? Yes? Leave that all behind when you left school? Well i thought I had, but apparently not - i have the misfortune of knowing people who still think that in their twenties that this is a perfectly reasonable way to behanve If i was in a better frame of mind, i would find it quite amusing - the fact that their life is so boring and dull and unfulfilled that they have to resort to trying to mess with other people's lives - but right now it has just made me feel angry and bitchy.

I feel better for having had this moan now. But good news is soon to come - having a St trinians themed night out for me and a couple of mate's birthday's (we all in july). Going as Punk School Girl will be sure to post some photos and a full commentary (of what i can remember) for your endless amusement. LOL

NOBODY MOVE! I'VE DROPPED MY BRAIN!!!!!!!!!

It is a medical fact that stress can cause your brain to fall out and drop on the floor. Unfortunately, my dog has just picked mine up and is playing with it. And as possession rules of a cocker spaniel state - anything that is in my mouth is mine.

Minimi continues to surprise me with how groown up she is for such a little girl. She also has the capacity to make me laugh, which given that i can be very bitter and jaded is a very difficult thing to do (only other half can do it as well). This weekend she said two very inocent things which had me snorting with laughter .

1. (as we went ten pin bowling)

Minimi: Do you know what they used for bowling in the old days instead of skittle and balls?
Mi: (Only half listening) No darling, what did they use?
Minimi: (taking advanatge of my comatose state) Babies as skittles and human heads as the ball

Cue me snorting beer over her and pissing myself laughing for ten minutes! Good god she is more like me than I thought!

2. (Before we went out to socialise on Sunday Afternoon)

Minimi: MUUUUUUMMMMMM are you getting out of bed yet?
Mi: Ten more minutes darling, mummies tired
Minimi: (muttering to herself) Tired my arse, you've got a hangover!

Cue more laughter and me getting out of bed to avoid having my face put next to the definition of SHITMUM in the dictionary xxLOLxx

Pads Wife

A vision of loveliness in Ron Hills and white stilletoes.

The wife of a soldier is a much maligned subset of the genus woman who may or may not have any of the following characteristics:

An arse that looks like 300lbs of chewed bubblegum.
Home made tattoos covered in plasters.
Uses OMO washing powder.
Conveyor of Yellow handbags.

I just checked under my desk and when the guys moved the office around they have gotten rid of (or possibly hidden) my pile of carrier bags. I. AM. NOT. AMUSED. I am going to have a word or two when they come back into the office. But can't say what cause the air would turn blue around your computer screen.

I feel naked without my bags - they were like my babies. Need them back!

Following a general conversation I had today about cricket I decided the ponder over the necessity of allowing this sport to continue - definately because of the fact that no-one (including the players) seem to know what the hell is going on! Quite frankly, it's not very nice to bowl maiden's over, why is the mid-on silly? and does anyone really care if someone got whacked in the knee/elbow/bollocks before the little bit got knocked off the top of the wicket? No probably not. So therefore, i have decided to make up my own rules - probably more dangerous and in contravention of over 150 gazillion European Health and Safety Laws - but no-one could ever accuse me of having a relationship with my common sense. LOL.

REVISED RULES OF CRICKET.

Bowling.

1. Watching the bowler rub the ball up against his leg makes me hungry becuase it reminds me of a nice shiny apple. This will stop and the bowler will now rub it on the bum of one of his team-mates. I don't want to eat anything that has been rubbed against a man's sweaty ass cheeks.

2. To make the game more exciting, the bowler will no-longer throw the ball towards the ground so it bounces up to the batter. He will just lob it straight at him as hard as he can. Face Guards are not allowed.

Batting

3. Batters must now take a legitimate swing at the ball - no more of the namby pamby turning the ball aside with the bat. Extra points are scored if you swing the bat so hard you lose a grip on it and it hits the umpire stnading behind the wicket.

4. Don't cry if you get hit in the bollocks by a ball. You get extra points if you are a really really brave boy about it. LOL

5. Running to score runs is optional - you can always just pretend your running, tell the umpire how high you counted, and then if he doesn't agree - hit him with your bat.

Fielding

Quite frankly - fielding is boring and should be abolished. This will become clear if you read the revised scoring section.

Scoring.

6. 4's will now be scored if you manage to hit a spectator with the ball.
7. 6's will now be scored if you manage to hit a spectator with the ball and knock them out cold.
8. As with the current system, runs are not counted, they are just made up by the players as they go along.
9. Wickets are only scored if you manage to stab a member of the opposing team with one of the stumps.

General

10. no-one knows what an over is so it will be abolished.

Now - if these rules are followed religiously, then cricket will be a much more exciting game to watch on TV.

Good God I am a lazy moo - started this for my personal amusement and then seemed to stop. Have made a very late new years resolution to write something in this at least once every couple of days. every day would be waaaaay to ambitious and i really don't have the time!

Well since my last post, there has been a new edition to the family! (not that kind of addition) I adopted a dog called Elliot - or smelly elly as he is normally known in our household. (god that dog can fart!) No pics posted yet - I am taking 5 minutes out from working really hard to type this! He is a gorgeous English Cocker Spaniel. Can you get Scottish Cocker Spaniels? Can i officially re-name his breed? Will have to check that point with the lawyers. Not wanting my ass sued from here to abernethy.

Going to do some more of this tonight when nosey work colleagues are not looking over my shoulder have a gander at everything I am typing. They think I need to do a basket weaving course anyway - not wanting to give them more fuel for the fire!
