Reaching 10% / Rude People and other Assorted bullshit.

Good morning peoples and what a glorious day it is! Reached 10% today and feel awesome! Actually that's crap I feel like a redundant old bum at the moment and cant seem to shake it! I hope when I start study that it all magically disappears, I am not normally a depressed or down in the mouth person so I think I need to slap myself up the back of the head and move on!

I decided to make myself happier and do some HarryTime. I thought Hmmmmmm maybe some HarryTime will make me feel better? So I have re-read Books one and Two in the Harry Potter series and re - watched for the zillionth time Movie one and Two. I have Three for today and found myself smiling as I watched the first two yesterday. I was UpTown in Metropolis on Friday and decided to go into Target Country to ask if they will have Book 7 when it is released on 21st July. You would think after almost a year here in Metropolis I would be used to the rude behaviour.........nope it still sometimes gives me a little shock as I simply don't understand it???? I approached the counter where there were NO OTHER CUSTOMERS and started The Metropolis Wait. That's where one stands there and is ignored for around....5 minutes? Yes yes dear friends I have tried the throat clearing/loud voice EXCUSE ME PLEASE and every other clever ploy that NonRude people use to attract attention of RudePeople. Anyway I ask Blondie - "Hi will you be selling the 7th Harry Potter Book?" I got a vague hand wave in the general "at the back of her" kind of motion so I used my eyes to scan the back of the wall and finally saw an obscure small poster stating that there will be two kinds of Harry - Adult and Child's. Anyway I said "Thanks for your time" and was about to leave when she mumbled something about reserving a copy. "Why thank you that would be great if I could do that". Anyway bottom line is I was only vaguely, very vaguely sarcastic and took the whole episode as a good PICK-ME-UP as you HAVE to laugh when people are so awful. HOWEVER my copy of Harry Potter 7 is reserved!!!!Felt much better and also shouted myself my first pair of jeans in a whole lotta years. Size 14 and 20 bucks KACHING thanks very much I will have those! I actually picked up the 16 and my friend ( one of the two I have in Metropolis and I treasure them both) anyway my friend said " Sweetie why the 16?" I said "Well so I can get my fat arse into them duh". She just looked at me and said "Erm Trace - you are defiantly NOT a 16". I actually blushed which allowed her at LEAST 10 minutes of unmerciful teasing. Also another thing I should use to cheer myself up I think!

Anyway darlings - I miss you all! Janet - I wanted to ask - what do they do with the bits they cut off????? Jen - I am using your advice about "relaxing" a little on weigh day and it is an AWESOME idea as you don't feel so......... restricted? I don't go overboard though. Annie - my darling special girl...went on MSN Saturday ........ sob! You were not there! MissB - I read your Blog and it makes me happy! Kiwi - yours to! If I forgot anyone I didn't mean to but my brain just shutdown and I think I need a coffee big time! My other friend ( of the two I have here) is coming for coffee this morning so that will be fantastic! Have to go and hang out the washing / make the coffee and book my first Unit for school!

Love you all

Ciao
