Girls just wanna have fun

Particulaly with their fiancees :(

I’m begining to think that I’m never going to get to have a nice meal out for Andy and my aniversary.
I talked to him about it last night and he said it would be okay for us to go to the Lord Wimbourne and have a nice meal. So today we had a nice enough day, I got tired about half three and had a snooze, then we had a bath together with scented water and candles and stuff in preperation for going out, and just as we’re nearing the end of the bath, his headache starts getting worse and he feels cold and tired.

It’s okay he says, just give me another paracetimol and give me time to get warm and for the pianlikkers to work and I’ll be fine. Yeah, except by then it’s far to late to go out.

So I got changed into my PJs and went and had a little cry because I was [am] really dissapointed and left him to fall asleep on the bed.

Anyone have any good ideas on how I can get to have what I want [ie a nice meal out, looking pretty, with my light and love. And would it kill to have a rose thrown in for good measure?] with out him essentially falling over sick just as we’re getting ready?

It’s just… really, really dissapointing to not be able to have a nice romanitc evening, just the two of us, without him getting sick or the weather conspiring against us or a tonne of stress on my part or whatever going wrong.
It really makes me so sad….

Yet another one one

1) What was the last thing that you ate?
Err, fry-up, consiting of a messed-up fryed egg, beans, fried bread and bacon.
2) Who was the last person you shared a meal with?
Ideally, I should be saying Andy, but I can’t actually remember that last time we sat down and ate at the same time. I would have to guess that it was my faimly last, last weekend.
3) What is your favorite all time dish (recipes welcome)?You mean I have to choose?
4) If you could eat one thing for an entire year, what would it be?
Well I can’t anymore, but it use to be noodles, like pot-noodles, or cup-a-snoodles.
5) If you could have dinner with any five people (dead or alive) who would they be?
I don’t know. I’d like to have dinner with the crew of Serenity, but failing that, my freinds: Dan, monkey, andy, kat, alex, jade, greg, major, duane, ma, ryan and ian. Food nearly always brings people closer together and it seems like such a long time since we were together in that kind of capacity. Someone needs to have a birthday meal…

Last day of half term

:( I was just starting to enjoy myself. Ah well.

I forgot all about my training day this morning, wich is poopy. I don’t think I’ll get in too much trouble, but I’m still pissed with myself.

Well, despite not doing that, today I have still managed to:
* Send a couple of e-mails
* Cleaned the window in my bedroom, and in the kitchen.
* generally tidied the lounge and cleaned the table
* swept the kitchen floor
* cleaned the windowsill in my room because it was starting to get mold infested
* cleared my desk off [again]
* done half the washing-up
* found all the laundry around the house and put it away
* Found, but not bought yet, a dehumidifier, for mine and andy’s room, because there is always loads of condensation on the window [leading to the mold] and our duvet is starting to feel a little damp.
* watched two hours of catch-up tv
* clear up any recyling lying around
* emptied the bins that don’t usually get emptied, and taken the trash out
* had a fry-up for brunch :)
* done the shopping

Makeover and Photoshoot!

It’s today.

I’m going to be leaving in about 20 mins, so I willl get there on time to buy my ticket and catch the 1100 train.

I’m really excited and really nervous. I’m so scared they’re going to take one look at me and say: ‘Vat iz zis? Ai cannot vork viz zis!’ [yeah, complet with bad french accent and all ;) ]

Wish me luck :)

Third day of half term

Did I mention yesterday I was really bored? Well, guess what, I’m even border today :(

Even so, I’ve still managed to:
* decide on my outfits for the photshoot. They will be:
– Burgundy skirt, white top, heeled boots
– Normal jeans, black slogan tee [not sure which one though], purple tie-dye jacket, walking boots
– Black plunging neck top, black jeans, heeled boots and sliver scarf around waist
– Okay, I haven’t decided on the last outfit yet. Might just go all-out and have the oriental dress
* Finished ‘The idiots guide to writing a novel’
* Sorted my ‘to sort’ folder on the PC
* Delt with at least half the laundry. The rest has been re-distributed onto the radiators and the heating turned on in the hope that that will make them get dry.
* looked at my pictures from yesterday’s walk. Might put them up, I’m not sure…

I suppose I could do some washing up, or tidy the lounge, but hoepfully the plummer will be coming in a bit, so I can’t really get stuck into anything…

So, second day of half term

It has, reliably, been raining on and off. I remember when I was a kid I loved half term because it mean I could do non-school stuff, like sort my books, or run around branksome woods with kat and ryan and people.

Now I am an adult, what do I think? I hate it. I’m absolutly bored out of my skull.

Yesterday, despite not getting up untill 10 [:(], I still managed to:
* sort the books out on the shelf nearest our desks.
* Move CDs into the CD rack
* Sort out what, of the stuff I have in bags to get rid of, I can sell, recyle or junk
* clear my desk of for NaNoWriMo
* Do the laundry
* do some washing-up
* Wrote a new page about darkliquid [the drink] and uploaded it, and updated my page of fanlistings I’ve joined with some new ones, and uploaded it.

Today I have:
* Done the washing up fully [even ther really icky stuff]
* Cooked Snmep and Riceables to provide me with 5 single portions [and one portion of just rice] so I don’t have to really worry about cooking for some days of NaNoWriMo.
* Read ‘It’s a jungle out there: NaNo for the new and insane [a NaNoWriMo survival guide]‘ by Lazette Gifford
* wrote down a few key points of my upcoming NaNo novel
* had a stab at writing a new gallery page with pics from the beach BBQ we had at the begining of summer.

So, I know what tomorrow the plummer is coming, but not untill 4pm, and I need to sort my clothes for the photoshoot, and most of thursday I will be in or traveling to, from and around london for my photoshoot. But, what to do on friday? or even the rest of tomorrow? While it’s enterly possible that picking out clothese will take me all day, I doubt it. I know I need to finish ‘Idiot’s guide to writing a novel’ but I I can do that tonight.
:( I think I’ve done everthing I’ve had hanging around to do. Well, maybe not quite because I have no batteries in my camera to take pics of stuff I want to sell on ebay…

Eh, I guess I’ll worry about that tomorrow. It’s nice out, so I think I’ll take a walk :)

yet another one [friday 21st oct]

1. How do you deal with stress?
Depends what kind. Pressure is dealt with giggling like a maniac. Lots of niggling little things, I tend to cry, hide under my duvet or eat.
2. Do you have a favorite “comfort food” and what is it?
Chocolate icecream. Always does the trick. If I can’t get hold of that it’s cadbury’s milk choclate with raisins and nuts and hot chocolate.
3. Do you have a “comfort activity” and what is it?
Humm. Probably cuddle up under my duvet and read. Or brows the ‘net.
4. What days depress you and why?
Thursday. Beacuse it feels as crappy as a friday, but without the added advantage of the next day being saturday.
5. What days excite you and why?
I quite like mondays, wednesday and friday, pretty much for the same reasons: Monday, beacuse it’s the start of the week and there always seems liike so much time to do stuff, wednesday… I just do, and friday because it’s the end of the working week and I can do silly stuff and not have to worry about work the next day.

* Joined some more fanlistings: Joss Whedon; Johnny Depp; Serenity; Firefly; FLOSS; Friendship.

The Friday Five for 5 May 2006

Since there doesn’t seem to be a friday five for today yet, I thought I’d got back in time and do one. Then I will get lunch because I am starving.

1) Do you like your birth-name? Why?
Eh, it’s okay. It doesn’t sound all that nice though.
2) If you could change your name to anything else, what would it be?
Heh. Dusilla, maybe.
3) What names would you consider giving your children?
If we have a boy we’ll call it Farren Alexander, and we haven’t really decided on a girls name.
4) If you had a band, what would you name it, and why?
I think I’ll go with Vice Versa, which is what my band was called. It’s just a really cool name I think. As well as that, it’s short and easy to remember, and it sounds very ‘and now, at number one: Vice Versa!’. We even had a ‘girl band’ gimic that we only wore black and white stuff.
5) Is there a name that you completely hate? Why?
Stuart. Not only because it has very negative connatations for me, but I think it just sounds horrible.

Karma?

I don’t know what I did to deserve it, but on both my shifts today, it started raining pretty much as soon as I got to the school and stopped as I waited for the bus to take me home again. The rest of the day was nice and dry, and at occasional points warm and sunny.

Grr. Stupid karma. At least I have warm tea cakes and home made mocha to enjoy :)
