Where is the car park?

Hi All.

It is Snare here with another load of words for you to read and digest.

This is one of those lunchtime blogs that I try to do once in a while. I’ve been thinking about taking this blog in some sort of consistent direction. The question poised on everyone’s lips is one of ‘what’??

That part I’m still deciding upon. At this point I’m enjoying putting my thoughts down for you to read. Its quite cathartic and will put me in good stead for when the decision happens and my focus is regained… for now though, I will continue to post blogs regarding what I’m doing, what I have done and any other little snippets of randomness that appeal to me.

I made it back to the gym yesterday. That was hard. I’ve previously managed to shift a lot of weight and get fit, but following a few months of my ‘work/life balance’ becoming very work heavy, my life was tipping towards fat bastard. I’m ok if I suck it in, but in all honesty, it was the feeling inside, rather than just how I look. I drink, I smoke, and during the weeks of late I’ve found it absent of any physical activity. I have a number of friends that are very health conscious and also spent time working out for muscle mass and MMA. This is a double edged sword really. I find it inspiring to have friends who are focused on improving themselves, but at the same time its hard when you aren’t surrounded by those influences all the time. I know now that its time for me to knuckle down and start getting fit again. I want to be in good shape and get to a stage that I can maintain a weight and fitness level without going crazy. At the moment I am going to work hard to reduce my spare tyre and feel amazing like I have done before. It’s going to be hard and I need to keep focused, but I know, deep down, I can do it. Plus my titties hurt today. So I need some sympathy. LOL

Anyway – enough about that.

I was reading back one of my posts the other day and realised how soppy I am about my friends. Then I realised following my blog, how much I care about them being in my life. Life is dynamic and people come and go. Even friends. But they are the ones in your life that fill out the gaps. When you are down they should be there for you, but part of that is the unwritten rule that you will be there for them too, should such a situation arise.

Life is too short people!

I had a funny conversation at work this morning. My boss’s PA was telling me about how she orders her shopping via the net as the big supermarket in town doesn’t have a car park and she cant carry her shopping all the way home. I did follow this up with yes there is. She didn’t believe me. It got so funny that someone who has lived in my home town for 2 years, and shops in the city regularly, had NO IDEA about the car park that is situated right behind the biggest ASDA in the city.

Couldn’t believe it. LOL

It took me 2 mins to knock up a simple diagram using Google Maps to illustrate just how silly she was being and also how she has been for the last 2 years.

I mean, women shop right? They are naturally inquisitive in any number of shops; searching out bargains, spending too long, using coupons, etc… or… they are just easily manipulated beasts (some are nice looking, mind) that you just point in a direction, and say “Shop” and they will not remember anything about where they have been but know that they found ‘this lovely pair of shoes on sale’ and it ‘was a steal’

But they don’t know where a car park is. Priceless. I guess that must be the man’s job, along with carrying the shoes / clothes / nesting purchases / toiletries / etc.

I still find my self chuckling as I write that. So glad I got to share it with you…LOL

Til next time,
Snare
