You can then email me your photo and I will post them anonymously on my blog.

Just for fun.

My issues with soup

by cj592 @ 2007-12-03 - 19:11:38

What possible issues could I have with soup? Let me begin....
When I was a wee bairn and I got sick I used to have to convince my mum to let me stay home- otherwise I would be packed off to school (sick or not). If I did manage to get a day off school, I had to spend the day in bed and not eat anything. By tea time, if I was lucky I was allowed something to eat- and invariably it was soup! Chicken soup to be exact. So I have always had this connection in my head: sickness = soup
Now this connection didn't improve when I was a student- when I had to live off a budget and all I could afford was cheap tinned stuff from poundsave. Now Poundsave did this vegetable soup for about 10p but it was the weakest, most watery excuse for soup... And it wasn't vary nice either. But I was poor and couldn't afford anything better (Except for perhaps a tin of 10 thin frankfurter sausages for 15p.) So now the connection with soup included poverty!

My OH loves soup and makes some wonderful soups. She even orders it in a restaurant. But I could never do that. Why go out to a restaurant and order soup! What a waste! Even this weekend when I had soup, it was because I was ill!

And that is my issue with soup. I have been mentally conditioned and I am not sure how to break the cycle (Or if I would want to) ;)

... And so I let him off his homework, the poor thing.

I did go into work even though I spent yesterday 'removing' the contents of my stomach. But I did take it easy as I was still feeling tender. Apparently there have been a few people with this bug over the past week, so perhaps there is a bug going around. One of my pupils came up to me and said they hadn't done their homework because they were sick over the weekend. How could I have a go at him seeing as I didn't do any work myself over the weekend too!

The choir are rehearsing for the Christmas carol concert- so that is quite fun. And yet that is creeping up on us too!
Anyway must go, there is a job I wish to apply for- apparently there is a vacancy in the Sudanese branch of the Teddy Bear Naming Society. By Jehovah I hope I get it!
