Okay, sadly this is where my diet went to shit for the day! My husband who's been bringing home bags and bags of pears everyday (no idea where from!) has been bugging me to make him a pear cobbler or something... I HATE BAKING!
Anyways, today being out 5 year anniversary I decided to make it for him as requested and needless to say have been chowing down on the batter and brown sugar soaked pears all afternoon (this is one of the reasons I hate baking! I have no willpower lol), oh well what the hell... figure the day is already blown may as well live it up now (this is my usual justification and one of the reasons my 155lb off-season weight is currently 162lb! )

Additional
2 Litres Water
Coffee
3 Piece Gum

Need to vent...

So this morning I had to go for my annual mammogram... oh, how I look forward to these special occasions!
Anyhow, I get to the clinic and am greeted (if you can call it that!) by this surly german behemeth, who instructs me to get undressed and into the the little paper gown that they give you and wait in the changing cubicle until called... 70 minutes later I decide politely check to see if they've forgotten about me, whoops... big mistake!
She proceeds to rip my head off whilst telling me they are under staffed and that she would appreciate a little more patience. Blimey!
About 20 minutes later she instructs me to follow her into the x-ray room.
Once there she reviews my chart and starts to tsk and shake her head.
She then grills me as to why I 'feel the need' to have mammograms done yearly and that this is SO unnecessary and that I really shouldn't be here. I explain (still politely) that the only reason I AM here is because my doctor instructed me to do so, so for the next 10 minutes I get told off about the fact that I am under 40 and they don't like to see women under 40 unless I have a legitimate concern. I should explain here the reason that at 33 I do go for mammograms is due to the fact my mum developed breast cancer at the age of 29 and died at the age of 44.
Once she's done berating me she tells me to stand up and put my chest against the x-ray machine whilst she pulls and pushes and squishes the crap out of my left breast, now it could be my imagination but I swear that my last two mammograms weren't this rough or painful, however I suck it up and put it down to being just a necessary evil.
Once I am securely 'harnessed' she then proceeds to lecture me about getting my implants, asking me 'why would you be so stupid?' and telling me that she has no idea why women do this to themselves for the sake of men. Okay, obviously we have some 'issues' here. I start to explain, (lord only knows why I bothered!) that 'men' had nothing to do with my decision to get implants but that at 5'10", a big girl with hips and a butt I was out of proportion... at this point she cuts me off and asks me what my Mum would have thought about be me getting implants... wtf??? Talk about bedside manner. I am getting a little heated at this point as she starts to push and pull my other breast about, squishing it between the two plates with a plastic spatula, (how dignified is that) I'm getting seriously tempted to tell her... well something along the lines of 'f*ck off and die b*tch', as I mentioned I was getting hot! But seeing as she has me at a slight disadvantage with the leverage on my breast I decide against it. She then starts ranting that doctors who give implants to women other than for reconstructive surgery should have their licences taken away, how I am making her job so much more difficult by having implants and that she thinks I should have them removed. OMG!!!
I was honestly dumbfounded by this experience. I can tell ya I'm sure not looking forward to going back next year! I am also deciding whether to lodge a complaint about her (I think she's a nutter!!!) or just go and wait for her outside her workplace with my gun?!!!
Okay, feel better now, needed to get that off my chest... so to speak!

the gun is a good idea Although I think the complaint about that BIMBO is defintly in line. WHO DID SHE THINK SHE WAS???? Im sorry to hear that you had to go through that... Ive had amy experience with evil nurses before(Im a clutz and in the emergency rooms a lot)..
Id file a complaint for sure. No one should have to listen to that monkey!

btw, Happy Anniversary!
no worries about the goodies today, just clean it up tomorrow!

In America we just tell the person's manager. That usually changes people's attitude We're having a problem with someone who is supposed to come to the house and do a physical for life insurance. She canceled the first appointment, and didn't show up for the second. Oh some managers heard about that one. Still waiting to see what happens.

If I were you I would make a complaint. This is a very serious matter, and I think the nurse I mean biotch should be dealt with accordingly.

I guess I'm still hot... I still like the gun option!

Honestly I think what ticks me off most is that I NEVER do not speak my mind, the fact that I didn't deal with this right then and there has irrated me to no end, I am now more pissed off with myself than I am with the nurse!

I guess I being in such a vulnerable position and the whole 'breast cancer' issue being such a sensitive subject to me through me for a loop... I HATE thinking of all the things I should have said and done AFTER the fact!

What a jealous bitch! Honestly, there is no other explanation. I always used to wonder why fat women were mean to me, but then again I don't think I am anything to be jealous of.



I can do it

I WILL be a size 5.

JLB - Love those Oreos

Greekblondechic - You're a babe... there's plenty of girls who'd be jealous of you and with good reason!

Last night was fun. Worked on my daughter's fitness routine, she's been asked to be the guest performer at a local novice bb/fitness/figure show and she's been putting together a fitness routine with the help of my trainer. She's actually doing a kickass job of it so far, mastering a lot of the lifts that I can't! lol Rod also brought her some flowers for doing so well, she felt very grown up. (She's 7)
We then tortured the cat for an hour or so (sad I know!), love my cat, he's psycho... recently discovered he hates whistling, if you whistle at him he goes all wacko on ya and bites your ankles, funny thing is it doesn't have to be the person who's whistling ankles it can be anyones! So being the loving mum that I am I kept whistling when he went near the kids and he kept going after their little ankles with his chompers... it was actually pretty funny and he really doesn't bite hard! lol Afterwards we treated him with some home grown catnip and watched as he spazzed out and reverted back into a kitten.
We then played some games with the kids, I love now that the kids are older and we can do this.
Oh then the kids wanted to wrestle with Dad, it was getting late so I said no, but the kids persisted so Rod said he'd only wrestle until somebody either bled or ended up in tears! (Nice) It was meant to deter them... it didn't work and an hour of rough housing followed. (No one bled or cried )
Later we watched a video whilst eating vast amounts of lasagne and cobbler with abandon. Yum
New day now, back on the diet.

LMAO! Like your style! I'll definately have to try these... not sure I have a tube sock long enough to get around his big fat belly!
Oooo... another good one is sticking a nice heavy duty piece of tape to his back and watch him run around the house trying to get away from it, and then around and around in circles trying to catch it... I really DO love my kitty... honest!

We've duct taped my Boxer's nob tail to her butt before too! Tape is always funny.

Use a pair of nylons!

Will definately have to take some pics of the the kitty torturing escapades... my husband just came home with a huge tub of store bought cat nip for him, I've already tied a bandage around his tummy (all I could find!) but I think he's too wasted right now to move!

Sara - Perfect Whey is just the type of protein powder I use.

Tortured the cat a little more last night and have posted a few pics in my gallery of 'Link' getting wasted as well as a couple more competition pics.

Last night we rented 'Wonderland', awesome movie about the porn
