I've cracked

Was writing a note earlier to myself and put PTO on the page before carrying on. I had to stop and laugh - "please turn over" oh well seeing as I asked myself so nicely I think I will. Weird thing is I was writing about a clown- don't ask. I felt guilty walking home from town, I passed a man squirreling seeds into his mouth while I was eating mini chedders and had been eating chocolate all morning. I've got to the point where I feel chunky again so will be trying to diet next week and exercise more. Yes I say it all the time but maybe this will be the time I actually do it (no I wouldn't hold your breath.) It is wine time on Friday so Monday it is then. For Pete's sake why does everything bad taste soo good? For Pete's sake, Who's Pete? Who is he? Answers on a postcard I'm too tired to Google it. So is Scarlett bless her, she just woke up and was so dazed she nearly walked into a wall, poor muffin. First time I have seen her since first thing Monday and she has changed so much. She kept whispering in my ear earlier "you're my best friend" so bless, I'm sure it wont be long until that changes! I cracked the last egg and the yolk went into the pan I could have cried! But I got over it by well, eating it. Right need to stop as the TV is on some weird prison show and I have no hands free to save it- what? I mean AHH! I have no idea, none of this post makes sense- it's bed time night! Night Pete. PTO. X Just because it was actually bugging me.... www.phrases.org.uk : What is the origin/menaing For Pete's Sake? : From the archives: : Biblical origins. Think of St Peter. Think of the omnipresent medieval church and think of hitting your thumb with a hammer. You can't swear, else the local priests will have you up before the Bishop and the Lord alone knows what the outcome of that will be, so you exclaim, in appropriate tone of voice, "For Saint Peter's sake" and carry on erecting the shelves. This phrase was amended to "For Pete's Sake" in later, less religiously oppressive, times. : This is called a "Minced oath," a substitution of a less offensive word. FOR PETE'S SAKE - The phrase is simply a polite version of a common and profane expression involving the name of Christ. We'd surmise that the original 'Pete' was St. Peter." From "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris. Substituting less offensive words - like Godfrey Daniel for the other GD - is called a minced oath. Well there you go, I'm going to start a new one "Oh for Becky's sake" yea I like it! For Becky's sake, shut up and go to bed.- oh ok. X
