...I am WELL aware that this is HIDEOUSLY superficial, but these girls really have the most spectacular culos! I am aiming to be able to wear something skimpy on the beach this Summer (maybe not quite a thong!), but I am willing to work at getting a beautiful bum!

I direct you all to this, and I defy even women not to be entranced!

Hurrah! Hooray! My excersising is going really well – I have managed to work out (inlcluding my running training for the 10k), at least four times a week for the last 3 weeks!! And, for maybe the first time ever, I get home and WANT to do something. It has the potential to get to the point where I need to force myself to take rest days as I do feel really bad when I don’t do it.

The other day, I even attempted a video that normally would have had me puffing and panting on the floor, and waking up the next morning with painful legs of DOOM, but I completed a huge chunk of it and felt REALLY good about myself. Only three weeks in, but feeling the difference already – I urge any of you wanting to make this change to just do it!

So, not yet done and dusted, but definitely on the road to being fitter and healthier. Woohoo! : )

...But in the 9 years I’ve been able to vote, I have voted, ooooh, never.

Yup, told you it was shameful.

Anyway, until last year I was very content with the fact that I was, “exercising my rights to not vote for any of the fascist bastards trying to fleece me for more money, blah blah etc. blah”.

Then, one of my friends wrote as their facebook status at some point during the last voting day (local elections, I believe) this:

“Caroline is hoping that you’ve all voted, even if you’ve spoiled your vote. People fought for us to be able to do that!”

And that got me thinking. People, and in particular women spent a LOT of time and effort fighting to make the rights of other women equal to that of men. And even years before that, people fought for the right to let the average Joe vote, rather than just nobility.

So here I am thinking all along that I’m exercising my rights to not vote, when the only way I can really do that is make a blank or spoiled vote. That way, I’m exercising my right to vote, yet making a political statement that I don’t believe (if that is the case) in any of the candidates to run the country/local government.

However, I will also make sure that I pay more attention to who and what the candidates will be trying to do for me, my family, my life, my community and my country, so I can make an informed choice of what to do when I actually DO vote.
