Hopefully this is a rare occurrence

I try not to bitch and moan on here too much, but today I just have to get it out.

I'm tired, I've barely exercised all week, my eating is bizarre, I've gained weight, I have a pimple on my chin and I need to kick something.

Okay, yeah, I have my period.

And I was looking forward to a nice quiet weekend, but that's been stuffed up by my own stupidity.

Tonight we have an end of season dinner for the 1st XV and I have to take a plate. I'd completely forgotten about the whole thing until about midday today (and I only got home from Auckland after 7 last night anyway), so I've picked up a dozen bacon and egg mini-bagels from Wholly Bagels. That should earn me plenty of 'white girl can't cook' looks. To cap it all off, I'm chairman of the club so I have to make a speech. That should be fun.

Tomorrow our 2nd XV have their semi final. I offered to take a car (cut my tongue out) without realising they are playing in Levin - 75 minutes drive away. There goes Saturday.

To the stadium tomorrow night to watch Wellington play Auckland. I love my rugby and the Wellington team, but they're playing like crap and I have the feeling it's going to be just awful.

Two social events to fit in Sunday afternoon - ones that I'd usually enjoy, but I'll have to snap myself out of this blue funk first!

Now, how should the speech go tonight?

I guess 'You had a damn average season and never got close to reaching your potential' will go down like a cup of cold sick?

How about 'I hope next year's team is better coached' or 'If you thought more about rugby and less about fighting you might run in a few tries'?

See, I told you I was in a foul mood. Where's my book of socially acceptable cliches and platitudes...

Oooooh, ouch! Hope everything goes swimmingly, white girl. Keep that be-pimpled chin up :-)

The bagels sound damn yummy :)

Hope your speech goes well.

Eeeeesh! Perhaps all I can do is offer a (((hug)))... well... maybe a JD straight up? Or two? I think that's your answer! A few JD's and you'll be happy - your lips will be flappin' and those bagels will be the least of your cares!

Good Luck, Sue!!! It's sO good you have a sense of humor!

Yesterday I was so mad because I couldn't seem to do my normal number of pike roll-ins that I kicked the exercise ball as hard as I could and it bounced off the wall, flew across the room, knocked over a lamp (and broke it), knocked over a full glass of water, toppled the full-length mirror, and came to rest at my feet with an ugly little smirk on its face.

Hormones? I don't know what you're talking about.
