lunchtime posting

heck, its 2pm and I havent figured out what to eat for lunch yet... can you even call it lunch when you don't eat it at midday? Incase you're in the same predicament this might help:

12. Stop thinking you’re not ready. – Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won’t feel totally comfortable at first. [http://www.marcandangel.com/]

Happy saturday! its a wonderful day here but I've spent most of the day inside doing productive things like watching True Grit and eating food. Its going to be a lovely evening so the family and I are heading down to the beach for the sunset and fish&chips.

wednesday ramblings

Happy day-after-valentines-day. I hope you're all still basking in the sunshine and happiness of yesterday. Mine was, happily, simple. G wrote me a love letter and I made dinner -picnic style- and cookie dough icecream. As you can see, valentines day makes my inner culinary goddess run rampant [sarcasm] at any rate, I am thankful for valentines day because for days afterward we have lindt chocolate lying around the house. As if it was normal.

Tonight is exciting. I have been waiting for tonight since last year. G got us tickets to see Shakespeares' A comedy of errors at Maynardville. I love watching his plays there & i've done it ever since I was 13. It's magical and really the only way for Shakespeare to be done (although it usually rains). [a lovely thing to do]:

I hope your wednesday has been as dreamy and relaxed as mine. 2 productive days per week are quite enough for me. x

quickie post

Just a quick post before bed!I've just finished an article for the student blog I write for; It's on beauty and what women perceive beauty to be-an issue I'm going to look at seriously this year (fair warning)In other news, valentines day this year has got me way more stressed out than usual. Its almost midnight and I'm still not done with my secret but not disgustingly-romantic plans. drat.

[I'm not going to catch you before so happy valentines day for tomorrow. I hope all your dreams come true and you get to ride magical unicorns e.t.c.]

crumpet

Happy monday! I love hot days in summer [not because I particularly like the heat] because I love the hot summer nights where you can sit for hours on your balcony staring at the moon, pretending to be someone magical in some exciting novel containing ruby necklaces and white horses-moonlight can do extraordinary things.

A crumpet /ˈkrʌmpɨt/ is a savoury griddle cake made from flour and yeast.

Crumpets are generally eaten hot with butter, with or without a second (sweet or savoury) topping. Sometimes, second toppings are added such as honey, poached egg, jam, Marmite, salt, marmalade, peanut butter, cheese, golden syrup, hummus, lemon curd, maple syrup, and Nutella. The butter may be omitted, but a phrase very commonly associated with crumpets is "dripping with butter"

p.s.I am feeling much better [if you were wondering] I'm feeling good enough to have spent the larger part of my evening reading my philosophy textbook.

to be happy now

After some lameness with the blogging world I am back- although I'm not in a much better mood.I begin everyday promising that it will be better than yesterday. that I will be better to him, that I wont get upset so easily, that i would be happier. But it never works [why does it never work?] and I get to the end of the day feeling sadder than i did the day before. for him i try to be straightforward, uncomplicated, not too sensitive- but i dont know how. I've never had to do this before. am i doing it right? I just want him to be happy. I just want to be happy.
