Grump grump grump
Sorry about the bad word, Mummy! This cake made me laugh though, and I’m pretty sure I should have made one for my boyfriend last week (and my colleagues, and my friends, and that guy in that shop …)
I was chatting to a blogger friend a few weeks ago about whether our blogs are accurate reflections of ourselves, or whether we adopt an online persona which our real selves can’t quite match up to. She said in real life I am just as I seem on my blog, but I’m not so sure. Everything I write here is true, and is truly me, but I am definitely much grumpier in reality! I deliberately don’t moan on here as I can’t imagine anyone would want to read that, but my friend requested an online grump, so here goes. Here are five things which have been making me grumpy lately:
1. The weather. It’s too hot, or too cold, or too wet, or all of the above.
2. My hair (most probably related to #1).
3. The cold I seem to have had for about a month.
4. Roadworks. And tourists.
5. My sore head. And sore ears. And sore throat. Did I mention I have a cold?
And just for a bit of balance, here are five things I haven’t already mentioned which have been making me not-so-grumpy lately:
1. A surprise trip to Rome for my birthday (less than 8 weeks to go!)
2. Signing the lease for my new flat (less than 3 weeks to go – eek! Might add packing to the grumpy list!)
3. Wearing sandals.
4. Being Auntie Kate.
5. Catching up with old friends.
So it’s not all bad really! I better get baking …
At least you didn’t say ***e in front of your mother (says Mumso)! x
I love this post! I think you’ve summed up how a lot of people are feeling right now x
I love this post, too. I rein in my grumpiness on my blog because I just don’t think it’s fun to read somebody moaning about the minute details of their day – but THIS made me laugh. And, yeah, this weather and my hair should not be made to mix.
Aww, I hope the cold shifts soon! (Also the weather sorts itself out soon… I mean really, I have had soggy feet for days!!) And I fricking love this cake!
(Also I’m a dweeb… I was like eeee! on reading this post!)
That cake is hilarious! I think we’re all a little bit grumpier in real life
I am grumpier in real life. I think everyone is!
I want that cake.
Ha ha, just found your blog by happy accident and this post had me chortling away
My boyf would probably say I should make one of those at times… usually over the weather (too hot), noise, people who walk slowly, 4x4s clogging up our little streets…. perhaps we could start one of those joint blogs I read about on WordPress recently, called The Grumpy B*tches!
