Manic Monday

I'm on one of my "Me" half hours!  I am doing really well.  I have hoovered through 2 floors of my house, only the ground floor to go now!  I have cleaned the bathroom and got one lot of washing out on the line.  I have another lot going and I have done about half of the ironing.  I started to make some chocolate shortbread but realised that I had run out of self raising flour and chocolate.  Joshua has gone to the shops to get them for me, so I'll resume that later!

I am now going to try my hand at a few of the Monday memes.  These things are brilliant time wasters!  Another time waster seems to be the Wii.  My friend Eileen has been blogging about it.  She has just bought one and I don't think she has done anything else all weekend.  Has anyone else got one??  What are your thoughts??  I have never been into games consoles but I am quite intrigued by the Wii Fit and the supposed exercise benefits.  They are very expensive though.

Well, I have been looking at the Monday memes and most of them are still showing last weeks.  I guess a lot of them are run by Americans and you are all still in bed!!  LOL!  I wanted to have a go at the Mono Monday thing again, but that isn't up yet either.  Anyway, this is Manic Monday.  See it here: http://manicmondaymeme.blogspot.com/2008/09/manic-monday-133.html

This is actually last weeks one!  It seems to consist of just 3 questions to answer.

If you could choose only two movies to watch ever again, what would they be?  101 Dalmatians.  The best animated film ever!!  All those cute little puppies.  Cruella De Vil is the nastiest baddie ever!  My other film would have to be Dirty Dancing!  I love that film.  It's a good girly film with no violence and boy gets girl in the end.  Patrick Swayze is also very sexy in that film!

What have you found to be the best way to relieve tension?  Hmmmmm, not sure if I can answer this one!!  I have different ways depending on the situation causing the tension in the first place!  For general tension maybe a cup of strong coffee or a glass of the red stuff.  Yes, I know they are not good!  I also find having a good old rant on my blog is good for getting stuff out of my system.

If you went to a beach and it turned out to be a nude beach, would you stay and go swimming? Would you swim nude?  I haven't ever done this.  There was one year when my sister and I were on holiday in Ibiza and there was a nude beach at a place that we visited.  We were sitting in a cafe and suddenly realised that to the left of us there were people sun bathing nude.  We were quite entertained watching some of the men diving into the sea from the rocks!!

Simon and I actually stayed at a hotel just across from that cafe a year or so later.  I think Simon was quite disappointed that he didn't see any nudes!! LOL!  It is actually something that is on my list of things to do before I die!  I think it must feel really nice to go swimming in the big wide ocean without any clothes.  I will definitely do it one day, but it will have to be the right time and place.

I am fairly happy if everyone around me is doing the same thing. EG: On holiday I will happily sunbathe topless, providing that there are others around doing the same.  I wouldn't do it anywhere where people may find it offensive or be embarrassed; and I wouldn't do it at home, where anyone might know me!!  I do sunbathe topless in my garden, but there hasn't been much opportunity for that this year!!

Well that's it, I have joined in with Manic Monday even if it is last weeks one!  Hopefully some of the others will be up soon, particularly the Mono Monday, I want to have another go at that.  I have got to get more practise with Photoshop and my new tablet drawing thing. I think Josh is back now, so I can get on with making my caramel shortbread.
