on good friday, sam and i shall be
lounging around a five star spa having head massages and facials and manicures and delicious food. we might also brave a bike ride around the estate, a pilates class and the tennis courts. then we will collapse into the out door hot tub to look at the stars and gossip about whatever is left after we have spent the whole day gossiping. any attractive cyclists/pilates/tennis coaches may also be dragged into the hot tub, whether willingly or not. then on easter sat, we shall lather, rinse, repeat. and again on sunday.

as a good catholic girl, i've always found the concept of denial during lent surprisingly easy to handle...

I was rub-bish at Lent this year

i thought about it
did fuck-all about it

story of my life

although my colleague gave up cake. the very first week of lent, she was asked to assist the judges with a charity cake baking contest at work... she was faced with literally 250 cakes.... how's that for irony?

hard to tell
how many spoons did she have?

250 clearly!
wouldn't have bothered me, i am not really wild on cake, esp the homemade variety, i just keep thinking that you have no idea what hygiene standards people have. although rationally i know the oven would kill off most things!

she's only just a quarter of the way to irony then I'm afraid
I'd never really thought about the hygiene aspect, not that I eat much homemade cake made by randoms.

i think it was biting into a flapjack made by my friend at school when we were about 8
and pulling out a long... black... dog hair from her newfoundland that finished me off!

Vipros you are a fool
She's not even a quarter of a way to irony. She would need 40 times as many spoons to reach irony.

you are both missing the point
why would she need spoons at all when she had two hands and a gurning hungry gob??

what a truly delightful image
to start my week

To be perfectly honest
If I don't wake up on a monday with a mental image of you and your friend smearing homemade cakes over your vaginas then it usually means it's going to be a bad week.

So far this week is shaping up quite well.

Is this the one near MK?

(PsychoChomp, Mon 29 Mar 2010, 12:25, Reply)

You and your jetsetting lifestyle.

i know
milton keynes... staffordshire... the only decision is whether to take the helicopter or the lear.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 29 Mar 2010, 12:40, Reply)

helicopter
I saw one of those big double blade ones when I was near Southampton last week. It was interesting.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 29 Mar 2010, 12:46, Reply)

other options are
limo, chauffeur driven roller, or hitchhiking...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 29 Mar 2010, 12:49, Reply)

Ooooo hitching
you get to meet a better quality of truck driver that way.
