Susan Stephens' Writing Diary

My diet's going much better than your's. Oh, yes it is.

Or rather, it might have been...

But then you see I had to get myself organised- (strain) (Big, big strain)
So, in the middle of working out impossible programme right up to this time next year, had to have large dose of chocolate- so you're winning.

Pah!

But I had lost one pound this morning...

Now, I'm really going to make you mad... Sprog minor sent me a list of men's rules- well, he would, wouldn't he? Being one of those creatures- men, I mean.

There are numerous rules- all numbered 1!
Typical male arrogance. Here is a selection:

1) All men see in only 16 colours like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit. Plum is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1) Ask for what you want. Let's be clear on this one- Subtle hints do not work. Obvious hints do not work. Just say it.

1) You have enough clothes (Pah!)

1) You have too many shoes (double Pah!)

1) Don't ask us what we are thinking unless you want to discuss such topics as sex, sport, or cars.

1) I am in shape. Round is a shape. (this one, I feel a certain connection with/sorry dh!)

1) When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine, really.

1) If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask. (What!!!)

1) Saturday=Sports. It's like the full moon, or the changing tides. Let it be.

1) Shopping is not a sport. And no, we are not going to start thinking of it that way

Now, I really am speechless!!!

Enjoy, my friends

Love to you all,
Susan
