for another post. Well, it's overdue but we are still having computer hassles and I am limited to H's portable which is with him when I feel like blogging and on the table at home when I feel exhausted and slump on the couch watching American Idol. Am I the only person who thinks at least Simon gives constructive criticism and doesn't just gush on about what range the singer has and how cute that dress is and how they must pursue their dream no matter what? Um, yes, maybe I am understandably cynical about that last one. Some dreams are difficult to pursue. Some dreams don't seem to want to be pursued. And judging by some of the candidates, some dreams should not be pursued.
But, don't worry dear reader (if there is still anyone out there, anyone? anyone?), we are still pursuing the dream. That is all I can write about it. I am following a very low key approach this year. If I don't feel like doing it, unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't. Case in point: my latest alternative medicine practitioner has recommended doing a detox to cleanse the liver after which my body will respond better to treatments, leap buildings in a single bound, beat Paula Rattray in the New York marathon etc. etc. I am drinking a cleansing liquid of sorts and I'm supposed to be avoiding red meat, coffee, chocolate and alcohol. Well. Avoiding I guess is the right word. I avoid them but sometimes they leap out at me from the bushes and I am so surprised that before I realise what I am doing, I find myself drinking a cup of coffee. And on Friday night I had 2 glasses of wine. I was waiting alone in a wine bar, ok? Have you ever tried to wait for 20 minutes in a wine bar on a Friday night and look comfortable? Let me give you a word of advice, without a glass of wine it's impossible, with a glass of wine you can at least make a more believable effort.
So, hopefully this is the end of my long break. Possibly not though. However, if anything majorly interesting happens, I will definitely tell you.
If I had to give up chocolate, I think someone would have to pay.
It is nice to hear from you!

HI! I was going through my inbox recently and found emails from you and wondered how you are doing. It's great to see you blogging again.
And PS: I am hugely addicted to American Idol this year. Hugely. Can't pull myself away from it. I only started really watching it last year and I am hooked. Who are your favorites in the top 13?

Still here! Glad to see your update. I too think Simon is the only judge worth a shit on that show.
And oh, I too get ambushed on a regular basis by desserts of all sorts. Sneaky bastards.

It's funny you mentioned detox, I was doing after New years eve and Mr A. sort of joined me too, his version of course! I was no meat, dairy, caffeine or alcohol and Mr. was too except for meat once in a while, he's incapable of going completely vegetarian.
Then he gets me knocked up! Hmmmmmm...
Good luck ;)
