On a chicken wing and a prayer....

I declare... if anyone tells me that chicken wings are bad I think that life as I know it would end.. they are a life saver these days. In fact ya can imagine at our first Holy Communion Party over the weekend... with gaiety and chat and eatin and drinkin and the piano being played and songs being sung and people doing their party pieces... some playing the piano.. others on the guitar... bit of poetry then when they called for "Davy - give us an oul song there..." and I dunno but as I stood up, cleared me throat and started ...

"Ohhhhhhh Danny boyyyyyyy the "bourk" the "borrrkk" are callin'.... from glen to "bourrrkk" and ....." this was of course accompanied by a strange involuntary jerking of the neck and frequent elbow flappin'.

Some fainted.... other yelled "Outrage...." whilst the older and wiser simply nodded and agreed in hushed tones... "He's on the wings again"

Meanwhile... childern were in and out from the bouncy castle...Can I get a drink... My foot hurts.... Johnnys being mean to me.... I found knickers on the grass (actually happened yesterday!!!!)...

Funny thing happen when we made these fairy cakes using spenda instead of sugar etc... and in fairness they did look different to the ordinary cakes but we fed one to the dog with no ill effects then one to our 14yr old human dustbin where it received a crumbly muffled response of "can I have a pop tart too!" So we thought Great something healthy... and left them.... an hour later I just laughed as granma informed us that she "cheered up those cakes" by covering them with icing/frosting... made of course from copious amounts of real sugar... ah well...

Anyhoodle - Tiernan made his communion, the afters were brilliant, I did not break... (completely! but YES!!!! I had the tweeniest morsel of homemade carrot cake - but I only did it so that certain OTHER people in here...[you know who you are] didn't get too far ahead of me in the naughty stakes... and its been SOOOOO long since I've felt guilty, I was nearly missing it!)

I have lost another lb this week... very slow...very steady... nothing dramatic but its going in the right direction anyway... Now only 1 lb away from the psychological landmark of 12 and a half stone.. I wanna break that this week...

Had my first jog today to make up for the carrot cake... there are NO more parties or sessions planned for the forseeable... so its time for some totally savage atkins activity now... [whispering - especially as 'herself' never even touched the the carrot cake..or the mile high chocolate cake or the pavlova or the feckin brownies (I thought she would break with them) or even with..... yes you guessed it our neighbours now famous "Apple crumble". By the end of the night we made sure that all desserts were eaten or given away... no temptation left...

A very happy belated Mothers Day to you all. We had our Mothers Day some time back over here... but tis easy to see from what has been written... the wonderful blessings that most have reveived from the oul Ma... and how in turn you are passing it along.. the golden thread of goodness in the fabric of this oul life of ours.. hoping that you all had a significant day...

Ohhhh its nice to journal again...but its hungry work isint it.... now where O where did I leave those chicken wings...!

Wow, sounds like a great party with lots of entertainment! You did great and it's funny, I was just talking about carrot cake on Sat while my mom and cousin hit up the desserts at the buffet we ate at. I mentioned that if I would splurge, it would be on the carrot cake and not the pieces of pies they were getting. Better be extra good since it looks like now you're competing with someone with iron clad control (your wife)! Did she give you a hard time about your tweeniest cheat?

slow and steady wins the race! keep fighting the good fight. i think I`ve burned a pound in laughter alone thanks to you :D

I too laugh at the humorous exchanges and believe the world is a better, lighter place because of said humor. It could be BS but I am going to go with it. Continue.
