I've learned to pay attention to those things because of those crappy women's magazines that I accidentally buy every now and then.  They always run these terrifying stories like "One day I was a happy go lucky runner, then I had my leg amputated" or "why I still love my my husband the serial killer" or "How the Ebola virus changed my life" or "I woke up and my head had fallen off from skin cancer". Stuff like that freaks you out, and skin cancer is always in one of stories where a happy woman's life was ruined by not noticing a change in a mole or something.  So I went. Frankly, I was ...http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10137699dokeefe@krox.com (Deb)http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10137699Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:24:07 GMTDear Diary   I know it's the end of summer and usually people try and get themselves in better shape before summer begins, but as our hot days hopefully start to dwindle, I will be getting myself fit. Well I won't be doing that by myself, I've hired a trainer. And it's only partly because I feel a little chunky right now.  It's mostly because it's my birthday next month and I'm going to be 36. It's also because I found a few more grey hairs yesterday and I can't take it any more!  It's not like I'm trying to look super young or anything, but I just want a little control back.  And Jason says you can't get better at anything after you're 36, so I've got to prove him wrong. Anyway, my friend Jessica is a personal trainer who works with her clients at their homes which really seemed attractive to me as ...http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10135851dokeefe@krox.com (Deb)http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10135851Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:54:41 GMTDear Diary Things have just been a bit weird recently. Last week my boyfriend fell over and broke his hand. While I was with him in the ER, I got a parking ticket. Then I witnessed the helicopter debacle. Then we had an argument. Yesterday, absolutely everything seemed to go wrong. What the hell is happening? Then I had an epiphany. It's not hell, the heavens! It's Mercury in Retrograde! That's what. What? It's Mercu....oh here, I'll explain. I was with some friends on Saturday who were discussing the validity of this astrological phenomena. Ever heard of it? Apparently a few times a year, Mercury slows down so much that it looks like it's actually going backwards. According to astrologers, this has some interesting effects on us people. Things just start going wrong. Computers crash, cars break down, arguments happen, things get lost, appointments cancel, and your life generally gets ...http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10134137dokeefe@krox.com (Deb)http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10134137Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:17:10 GMTDear Diary Last night, a dream of mine was realised. I finally went to Home Slice Pizza and played Qrank live! Andy Langer and I have been discussing this event for ages but I've never been able to make it. Frankly, I'd become a little sick of him parading around like he's the mayor of Qrankville. He needed to be taken down a peg or two! Not by me though, as you know I don't always beat Andy... Anyway, I assembled a clever group of friends, including our new Go To Gay, Gridr Josh, who also happens to be a trivia game host! How could we lose with that guy? We met up a little early to make sure we could get logged on to Qrank and get a good table, and the games commenced. Andy was late of course, some excuse about having to be on TV or something, ...http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10132442dokeefe@krox.com (Deb)http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10132442Tue, 17 Aug 2010 12:39:48 GMTDear Diary I'm not sure if this is a well known fact or not, but I love a good cuddle. Cuddles, to me are like taffy. And there's always time for taffy. Anyway, cuddles seem to be the topic of some debate in our household and apparently, cuddling is seasonal. Confused? Me too. I'll try and explain. Jason will probably try and tell you that I hate hugs and touching people, and he's half right. I hate hugging and touching people I don't know. When it comes to my boyfriend, though, I want it all, all the time. I'm very tactile. My boyfriend is as well, but he has rules. They mainly pertain to cuddling when, in his opinion, it's too hot. This is just too much for me. We're always trying to reach a cuddle compromise because when we go to bed, I could cuddle all night and he ...http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10129390dokeefe@krox.com (Deb)http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10129390Tue, 03 Aug 2010 16:15:48 GMTDear Diary, You ever just want to be lazy? You ever feel like sleeping all day? You ever look at that pile of washing and just turn and walk away? You ever just wanna get away? You ever day dream about laying on a white sandy beach under an umbrella drinking a fruity adult beverage bought to you by a nice man wearing a white suit? Well I do. A lot. And I want these things to come true. We've got a few days off coming up soon and although I've got tons of things I need to do around the house and in my garden, I just want to go on a nice little beach holiday with my man, a small bikini, top optional, a beach and food and drinks in abundance. But you just went on a wonderful European holiday I hear you cry! And yes, we did, ...http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10128033dokeefe@krox.com (Deb)http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10128033Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:48:41 GMTDear Diary Last night I went to the Against Me! slash Silversun Pickups show with my boyfriend and a couple of friends of ours. I guess you could say that I'm not a particularly large fan of either band, but my bf's favourite band in the whole world is Against Me!, so we had to go. He was really excited about the show, as were his friends, who had come in from Arizona to see the bands. I was feeling like the weak link as I didn't really think I was going to have as great a time as everyone else, but I wanted my bf to have fun so I sucked it up. We headed over there after a lovely dinner at the new Uchiko, and just as we were walking up to Stubbs, we heard Against Me! already on, and I have to be honest, I got that ...http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10126673dokeefe@krox.com (Deb)http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10126673Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:31:02 GMTDear Diary, Yesterday was my boyfriend's day off so we decided to tackle some errands and get some stuff done, before we had a nice relaxing dinner. On our list of things to do was to hit up the Van's store in the Domain. My BF needed some new shoes and as you might have heard, I'm a bit of a shopping fan, so I didn't mind going. I've also had a little issue with my iPad this week, so I wanted to visit the Apple store as well. We'd both win! Anyway, as you know, it was damn hot yesterday and we weren't looking forward to walking around. When got to the Domain and had bought the new Van's, we were already hot and bothered, so we stopped into the coffee shop to get some AC and a Frappuccino. While waiting for our delicious drinks to be made, I ...http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10125347dokeefe@krox.com (Deb)http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10125347Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:49:44 GMTDear Diary I generally like to think of myself as a somewhat intelligent person. You know, I'm somewhat knowledgeable about countries, I use punctuation in the right places and can even navigate the internet pretty well. I also like to think that my friends are clever too. Jason had a 3.3 GPA in college, Cassandra can spell most one syllable animal names and I even know one lawyer! However, I found out this weekend that I've got a Secret Genius Friend. When I say SGF, I mean this person is so clever, so brainy, so educated, that they are probably doing themselves a disservice being friends with me. I don't mean that this SGF knows how to set up their home surround sound without looking at the manual, or that they speak a couple of extra languages, no it's beyond that. While having dinner with my friends Sarah and Steve, ...http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10124163dokeefe@krox.com (Deb)http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10124163Tue, 06 Jul 2010 13:38:06 GMTDear Diary Last night I got to bed nice and early. I really needed a good night's sleep and as my bf is out of town, I decided to take advantage of the quiet house. I had a shower, put some nice relaxing lotion on and slipped into my lovely clean sheets. I decided I'd read rather than put the telly on as I heard once that you shouldn't really watch TV in bed as it stimulates the brain and stops you sleeping. I had some quiet music on in the background and was all set to chill. Our beloved DJ penis guy intern Nick lent me a book a couple of months ago that I hadn't had the time to start so I thought, "what better time than now?" It's a book called "Feed", and apparently it's about your average run of the mill post apocalyptic zombie ridden half ...http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10123059dokeefe@krox.com (Deb)http://www.101x.com/DebsDiary/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10123059Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:21:08 GMT
