You Know Summer Has Been A Bit Of A Let Down When...

1. The weather is actually SHIT..... seriously..... fix up Global Warming.... this is not a good look.

2. You have a cold..... to be fair, this isn't really Summer's fault - the babies I work with cough in your face like its funny - BUT the seriously shitty weather does not help at all.

3. You begin neglecting your blog.... it won't happen again, I promise.

4. Your hardrive stops working about two weeks into the holiday, depriving you of all your music and films! Thankfully, it revived itself a couple weeks ago.

5. Your Ipod gets stolen out of your pocket when your on the train heading to an interview for a job you don't even get! I MISS YOU PODDY!!!!! I'm using my blackberry as a replacement, but he hasn't got a patch on you!!! Come back to me please!

6. You've only seen your beautiful friends a handful of times!!!! Yes, I'm talking about You, Jes, Era, Adelle!!!!!! This makes me sad! But I Loves you all.

7. You leave your extensive DVD collection in storage, and spend six weeks pining to see Romeo and Juliet, Peter Pan, and My Best Friend's Wedding.

Catch Up Time!!!!

Ok, So I officially suck!!! No real excuse at all for my lack of communication, but there you go. So here is The Official Catch Up: August 2010 Edition!

  I got a job!!! Yippeeeee!!! After months and months of unemployment, my cousin hooked me up with a job at her nursery. Its such a great job, I basically spend the days looking after the babies, feeding them and playing with them. Money isn's great, but it doesn't really feel like a job, so all's well. Anyway, I've been working there for two weeks now, and I've got at least another couple of weeks worth of work. Which inevitably means MONEY!!!! and this little money brings me on to my second piece of news....

• SPAIN!!!! looks like thats really gonna happen! A week in Spain with a couple of girlies mid-September!! I'm so looking forward to that!! Hoping that we can book it tonight!! hehe.

• Student Finance are taking the absolute piss out of my life!! They expect me to live on £360 for 12 weeks?!?! They have got to be smoking something illegal! I am gonna be SO desperate for a job in Hull.... interesting times!

• Toy Story 3!!!!! EMOTIONAL TIMES!!! Went to go see it yesterday!!! and omg!!! it was amazing! so funny, so entertaining, at times genuinely scary, and I'd be lying if I didn't admit to being close to tears at least twice during the movie. It was definetly aimed at the older audience that enjoyed the first two movies, and they used a similar plot to the first two but hey! If it aint broke, don't fix it!! Big Baby was freaky, as was The Monkey; Lotso had the coolest voice ever, and Spanish Buzz was a laugh. 

• Lastly, new favourite song:

I think thats about it!!!
I promise never to leave you alone so long again bloggy!!!!

Helen Hayes

"We rely upon the poets, the philosophers, and the playwrights to articulate what most of us can only feel, in joy and sorrow. They illuminate the thoughts for which we only grope; they give us the strength and balm we cannot find in ourselves. Whenever I feel my courage wavering I rush to them. They will give me the wisdom of acceptance, the will and resilience to push on"

Home Sweet Home

Mama and Jordan came back from Grenada a couple of days ago. It was so good to have them back, but my jealousy was overwhelming! I didn't really wanna hear about all their great stories because I felt like I should have been in them, haha!

Mum brought me back a reggae CD, and a giant Grenada flag for me to wear at Carnival! But the best package of all was from my Grandma. Knowing how much I love her soup, she made me a bowl, froze it, and wrapped it up nice and tight, so that by the time mum reached home, the soup was just defrosted. When I ate it, I closed my eyes, and it almost, almost felt like I was in Grandma's kitchen!
