HOW TO BE REALLY ALIVE!

Sitting on top of Claudia's big cozy bed this morning with the tired party girls, we began to discuss boys, bling, the party last night, and everything else in between. For a blissful half hour I was 19 again! As we discussed 'rat' boys, the usual question came up 'What is his birth sign?' The 'rat' boys were cheap and made them pay for their own popcorn at the cinema. If boys are earning the same money as girls, some would argue that they should go 50/50. I thought about it...and thought about it...and do you know what? I'm old fashioned and if a boy invites a girl out on a date, he should man up and put his hand in his pocket. You see girls spend a FORTUNE trying to look good for the fellow. Boys don't have to buy expensive clothes, make up, perfume, nails, bags, heels. Trust me, there isn't much change left after all that. I know it's a vicious circle but hey! you try taking on the massive marketing world that surrounds us. Not easy.

Coming back to the title of today's blog...'HOW TO BE REALLY ALIVE!' I found this greeting card in the basement this morning, and read it out to the girls. I dunno where it came from. It's weird, but you may find some of the suggestions useful. Here goes...

LIVE JUICY (couture?)

STAMP OUT CONFORMITY

STAY IN BED ALL DAY (like that one!)

FIND SNAILS MAKING LOVE (whot? to eat them?)

DREAM OF GYPSY WAGONS

DRINK SUNSETS

BE RIDICULOUS (dream of gypsy wagons!!)

STOP WORRYING. NOW. IF NOT NOW, THEN WHEN?

MARRY YOURSELF (and buy the popcorn without resentment haha)

HANG UPSIDE DOWN (watch out for vomit no thanks!)

DEVELOP AN ASTOUNDING APPETITE FOR BOOKS (less fattening than food)

MAKE YES YOUR FAVOURITE WORD (watch that one...)

EAT MANGOS NAKED (where? in the bath? What about strawberries?)

KEEP TOYS IN THE BATH TUB (what kind of toys?)

CELEBRATE AND OLD PERSON

SEND A LOVE LETTER TO YOURSELF (and seal it with a kiss)

INVENT NEW WAYS TO LOVE

TRANSFORM NEGATIVES (into positives)
