The Ghosts of Breakfast Past....

Remember those days

many many moons ago

when you rolled out of bed

landed in the shower 

and then ran out the door with cold pizza in your hand 

and a handbag full of makeup 

that you would put on while you were in the car on the way to work

okay maybe you were all really really good and organised and things

but I loved those days

I confess that until I got married

breakfast was whatever smelt freshest in the fridge

so any sort of leftovers were fair game

and can I say nothing wakes you up quicker than sticking your nose

in something unspeakable

but as long as whatever it was 

was washed down with a coffee

or if I was a touch seedy

maybe a Berocca or two

the world was a great place

and for those who don't have the miracle in a tube that is Berocca

I have no clue how you survived a hangover

Of course those glory days 

are well and truly behind me

and now I find myself virtuously drinking green tea

Munching on multi-grain toast 

or some unspeakable fibrous and fruit filled breakfast cereal

and scoffing handfuls of vitamins 

to try to offset the ravages of a misspent youth

because it turns out that the occasional strawberry thickshake from maccas 

wasn't enough to meet my calcium requirements

and a hash brown or cold fried rice aren't on the healthy eating pyramid

go figure....

Luckily for me I got to pick the topic for the

Monthly Painter's Challenge this month

and so I chose Breakfast

because then I could celebrate

The Ghosts of Breakfast Past

and relive the glory days where I relished in my version of 

the breakfast walk of shame

and I can share it with all my painting buddies at Paint Party Friday

because I know there will be some people who have their own breakfast ghosts ... xx

Note to Phantom ... I was never drunk or hung over

and the walk of shame was something I heard about in the staff room

because I was such a good girl, just like you should be

but I had some less disciplined friends who shared their experiences with me

and I am using them here for the sake of making this post interesting...
