I am happy.
That’s a lovely thing to be able to say.  Content and happy. I’ve just got in from a breakfast with 5 lovelies from school days, am listening to one of my guaranteed-to-make-me-smile playlists and waiting for some other friends to arrive, whom i’m very much looking forward to spending time with. I’ve spent time with the family, whom i love, time with friends of all...

So, my body atm has decided that i’m not going to get to catch up on my sleep.  I’ll go to bed lateish, struggle to get to sleep, wake up at least once in the night, and then wake up for good by about 7:30.  Ok, so its an hour later than i usually get up, but i’d love to wake up at 9!! Maybe it means that i’ve got enough sleep…but i doubt it… Grah.  But hello...

Skype chat

oh-sarah: is there any way of finding out when I started this tumblr? Go into your archive - that shows when you have posted stuff, and you should be able to see the month it started through that.

iphoto
has over 11,000 photos in it on my mac. I got an external hard drive for Christmas to hold these, so that i don’t kill said mac. I actually, genuinely can’t find where they’re being stored.  And i’m generally quite good at these sorts of computer-y things.  They obviously exist, i can look at them…but they’re being stored in some place that doesn’t...

Old people
DO play their age for all it’s worth.  I’ve just been at the home of family friends, and the grandparents were there too (also friends).  Here’s a couple of pretty-close-to-quotes for you from the granddad: “what you do is you get the walking stick out, put on a full limp, and then *insert what they want to happen here* happens.  Very nice, thank you.” and ...

jhnmyr: More cakes! It’s working!! Holiday cheer levels rising! I love reading people’s stories telling me how much fun they had baking. It feels good to take the afternoon off to spend time with friends and family without staring at iPhones and Blackberries… really talking, laughing and enjoying moments that are actually occurring in the same room. Can you imagine? My holidays must be full...

“Thank you for your order. This is just a quick email to give you an update on...”
– Oh, ok, so i’ll not be getting those within five days of ordering them then, like you said.  Because that would be today. Ugh, one of those items is for a secret santa on Monday. Thanks for that.

The Internet is a Strange Place...
I mean, i’m wondering if this weather is ok for rabbits to go out in, or if snow is too cold, especially as it’ll make them wet, so i turn to tinternet. There are many different opinions, and i’m still not sure…after many clicks on many links, i found myself watching a home video of some bunnies playing in snow.  And i watched it.  All of it!  And then realised what i was...

Today
Has been emotional. I had 6am prayer…which meant getting up at 5:40. I had to drive with both windows down and felt pain in my hands as if i’d been dousing them with snow for a couple of hours as a result. I found out that there was more wrong with my car, and that there’s probably even more that they didn’t touch because it’s not a problem as of yet…i should...

Car’s got more wrong with it…so will have to pay even more for it…raah. That + a headache + long day = poop.

My living room...

Today i went to a local primary school’s Christmas Production. It was brilliant! And so nice to see so many kids i know - they were all very excited to recognise me and Mel in the crowds!! Made me all warm inside despite the frostbite developing on my toes! First time i’ve ever seen real life camels and reindeer in the same place…that was quite random…how are you going...
