Absent Minded
8:37 AM, Wednesday, 30 January, 2008
After I got off the tram this morning, as I was working up the street in my cute little dress on my way to work, I was thinking to myself:
Ooooh, it's a bit chilly this morning!
Oooh, it's a bit chilly! I don't remember putting a g-string on today!
Hmm, I don't remember putting a g-string on this morning! Silly decision, my butt is most definitely chilly.
Damn, I should have put warmer undies on!
I really don't remember putting a g-string on...
...
...
OH MY GOD I FORGOT TO PUT UNDIES ON!!!!
Luckily there are plenty of places during my walk to work between the point of realisation and my office where I could purchase some undies that would both retain my modesty, and keep my butt warm.
That will be all.

Dinner Tonight
5:41 PM, Friday, 18 January, 2008
I found these today. Yes, they are blue. I'm going to make Yehia eat them tonight:
Does anybody know what spirulina is?
I hope they stay blue after I cook them.

Work
3:07 PM, Tuesday, 15 January, 2008
I have been back at work for a full two weeks now, and already I am tired of it.
I work in a women's community organisation. I'm not a hairyhippyfemihairyweirdarse, I am in fact a nice person who happens to have a lovely bottom. Nonetheless, this particular organisation seems to attract what we in the welfare industry like to term "whackos".
Including but not exclusive to:
Man walks into office, "My son was born here 21 years ago. What do you think I should buy him for his birthday next week?"
Phone rings, "Hi, I'm from Adelaide but I want to have a shower in Melbourne. Do you have a place for me to take a shower?"
Admittedly fielding such requests is better than doing actual work, which is hard to do in January because it is right after the holidays. It is also better than popping out babies (which would hurt), or living on the streets as a crazy cat-lady. I will come back tomorrow.

Giving my Liver a break!
6:51 PM, Thursday, 10 January, 2008
I'm all for good causes.
If you are too, and even if you aren't, support me as I stop drinking for ALL OF FEBRUARY to raise money for young people dealing with substance abuse. All donations are distributed to the youth drug and alcohol service sector in order to help angry teenagers with their issues.
Take a look here for more info, and to support me (and my liver) please come and donate here.
Hooray! Thanks for your support!

How I did Cope
1:30 PM, Wednesday, 2 January, 2008
I'm just too confused with celebrations. Eid-celebrating husband, Christmas-celebrating family and alcohol-celebrating me equals bamboozled Carolyn. I didn't know how to cope. So I did what I do best:
I got drunk (lots), and ate (lots).
This was all to culminate in an anti-celebration of the new year, but apparently my hedonist rampage decided to affect me* and I broke my back and couldn't get out of bed on Monday morning. It was either the hedonist rampage, or the other-worldly revenge of the 17,000 chickens and turkeys that I ate (respectively).
So I spent all of new year's eve day lying on my back in a valium-fog, while Yehia gave me worried looks. I ate curry, started ranting more than usual after one beer, and then my husband sent me to bed. I am so getting old.
*I am, after all, getting on - almost 26!**
**My gift list will be posted shortly.
