Ridiculous Girl

“Are you sitting comfortably??   ….then we’ll begin.” Song:    It Doesn’t Really Matter. Artist:   Platinum Blonde. It was a quiet afternoon at the cottage.  Lola was reading on the hammock outside and Molly and I were coloring at the kitchen table. My cousin Julie suddenly barged in.  “Do you know who’s playing in town tonight??” she announced. Molly and I looked up startled. Julie yelled, “PLATINUM BLONDE!!” I gasped and dropped my fuschia-coloured crayon. Next to Guns N’ Roses, Platinum Blonde was a close second on my favorite bands list.   Songs like Standing in the Dark , It Doesn’t Really Matter and Situation Critical  were the theme songs of my youth as I regularly blasted them on my boom box in the 80's. I couldn’t believe that this iconic band would be playing in our tiny town of Haliburton!?  I could only hope that my children would be so kind as to attend

  Facts you will need to know for this blog post:   Fact 1.   In 2010, I tore all of the ligaments in my left knee while sparring in Taekwondo. Fact 2.  It was very painful. Fact 3.  I saw Dr.Korkola, specialist in orthopaedic surgery, who advised that I go for surgery immediately, followed by months of intense physiotherapy and rehab. Fact 4.  I said no to his suggestion.  Not because I am scared of surgery, but because I am deathly allergic to working out. Fact 5.  So I have lived with a damaged knee for 8 years.  It’s been annoying, but has not really impaired my life much (probably because I am deathly allergic to working out and will not do so under any circumstance.) Fact 6.  Dr.Korkola is VERY handsome. Fact 7.  I’m not quite sure why Fact 6 is important, but knowing me, I feel like it’s something that will come up later in this blog.     Ok.  Now that those facts are out of the way, let’s get on with the story shall we??     Fe
