Barefoot Foodie, a review of posts.

For work I'm doing an NVQ in Customer Services.  Part of my course is that I have to do a reading task.  I find material, read it and write what I've learnt.
It was harder than I thought, until I read a post by Brittany over at Barefoot Foodie.
I asked if I could use her post, she said Sure thing, and now here we are.

You can view her post here.  Barefootfoodie.com

Enjoy.


Task 2. Reading

Source Document Title – I don't remember the part of our vows where I was the one nominated to be in charge of keeping everyone alive. (attached and highlighted)

Author - Brittany Gibbons

I've been reading the Barefoot Foodie for a fair few months now, delightfully funny and amusing filled with Laugh Out Loud stories and loads of things I can relate to. I also follow Brittany on Twitter, simply because her tweets are the same as her posts, hilarious and interesting.

I found it difficult choosing my source material for this task, however going over a few of the blogs I read on a regular basis, I came across this one, and decided to use it, first asking permission from Brittany of course, because the internet can get crabby when one decides to use someone else’s material without consent. I've seen it happen. It's pretty ugly at times.

This particular post is about Brittany's husband Andy, who went away on a business trip leaving Brittany at home with the children. The weather? It was not so nice.

One of my favourite line of the entire post has got to be

Last night it stormed. Super loudly. It was the Donald Trump of storms. I was all, seriously, storm, I can't understand anything you are saying, when did you become a republican, why are we yelling!?

That line is one of the many reasons that I regularly tune into Brittany's blog. It's hilarious.

I've highlighted the parts of the post that interest me and will explain what I've learnt from these highlighted snippets.

1] Some storms are horrid, but really bad storms, we call them the Donald Trump of storms, or in the UK's eyes, the Alan Sugar of Storms.

2] Murders are notorious for striking during Thunderstorms, therefore one should take great care in ensuring that your home is secure during a Thunderstorm. Just in case, because you never know.

3] Mothers work extra hard and never get much time to themselves so that they can have sex dreams about Mr Darcy. One should also never tell ones wife that one is tired, when she is most likely probably exhausted and will in turn publish a blog post about the entire episode.

4] You're never too old for your own mother. Especially when they come bearing wine and cute dogs. The wine is the most important part. It's helps to keep one sane when dealing with horrid storms, possible murderers and children that run you ragged.
