The Gift of the Gab?

I haven't been posting very much recently. You'd think with holidays, I'd be crazily jotting down every minute of my pathetically boring life, but no. I wouldn't want to send you all to sleep. Now that school has started, hopefully funny shit will start exploding onto a computer screen near you [like diarrhea hitting the fan], assuming you're a regular reader of this blog that is.

It was Ruth's 18th today. We were planning on getting her a gluten free cake, but shops don't store that stuff unless you order it in especially. My idea was to buy some of those snack-sized gluten-free cakes at Michels, then sticky tape them together. Unfortunately [or perhaps fortunately depending on whether you're a glass half full /half empty type person] Michel's was out of snack-sized gluten-free cakes and nobody had sticky tape. Hence, there was no birthday cake. We all wished her a very happy birthday anyway, and bought her a book. Let's just leave it at that shall we. It was a nice book, which hopefully she will like.

I have homework in every single subject. I have to work tomorrow from 9 til 6, then rush out for dinner in Clayton with family friends. I think I am going to die. My mum's boss offered me a job on Saturdays at her shoe shop...and I would get paid a whole TEN DOLLARS MORE than I get paid at Michels. Too bad I like Jenny and Steven so much, or I'd promptly be on the road to Richville. I better go get started [on the homework, I am already well and truly heading towards death anyway].

Ciao!

Love,
Mel

Pee.ess - I am certainly in what one would call a morbidly cheerful mood.
