Odds and Sods.

Mima is getting fatter!!.... horray!!!!
She is also much much more smug!! and twice a day she appears in a more voluptious and yet still slinky (she can do both it seems!) tail quivering to a meal that she loves. I am mixing tined food and biscuits together and she daintily eats it. Poggle on the other hand is really really cross and makes growling dog like noises (she is also a cat!) when Mima is being fed....so now because I feel bad about the whole spoiling thing the both are being fed this way. And now I have given in completely to the cats and they now run the entire house, much like I suspected they did anyway, it doesnt get any better for Stinky....who watched in a sad fashion as I gave them warm water with their food today.....it was cold! and I could see her thinking "hmmmmm may have to pull the poorly card myself soon, then I can take my rightful place on the bed and the sofa with no-one telling me off"

(can someone get me a backbone please!)

I have finished wrapping up the presents. I love doing this. Christmas carols playing, tree lights on, red wine slurping and finding the end of the bloody seletape makes me smile!


I went with Small to Mumblies today, we didnt ride as it was too foggy to even think about going out, even with the terribly flattering and tasteful floresent things we wear, it wouldnt have been safe today with the fog. I went to show My Boy the new glasses he forced me to buy. He stood on my foot.

I havent taken nearly as many painkillers today. Which is lovely. And I slept all night without my throat infection waking me up. So clearly I am getting better.

Tomorrow I have presents to deliver and mince pies to eat at the houses of those I deliver to. I shall see my Dad, who has moved back into the house he grew up in, so he and his wife can help my grandfather, if my grandfather ever comes back from his travels! It will be good to see the house as Dad has spent a huge amount re-wireing/painting/roofing/carpeting and heating. So its all going to be different. This house has the MOST fantastic staircase. The stairs are really deep and wide and they sweep downwards, with a really old wooden polished banister. They go round almost in a circle, everytime I see them I want more than anything, and this is something I have wanted since I was about 12 to have a really big Scarlet O'hara dress (and obviously fantastic shoes) and to walk, sorry float, down the staircase to a man standing at the bottom with a smile on his face who in so in love with me he cant breathe. (a girl can dream)

Wrapping it up.

When I woke up this morning it was lovely, my frst thought was not "ow, where are the pain killers", it was more " mmmmm first day of the school holidays, may need a few more minutes, then a cup of tea and some pain killers!"

So, bouyed up with feeling better I went into clever university towm to finish my christmas shopping. Which I did! .... without too much hasstle actually. Town was strangely quiet until about 11.30....which I wasnt expecting at all, I thought that from 9 oclock it would all be pushing and shoving with 'oh no, only 5 days to go' gleams in peoples eyes.

I also went to tesco's which was horrific. Father Christmas hadnt quite finished his shopping and I (sorry he) needed to get some items from there....so we went together, he and I (!) and I did some grocery shopping. People were a little 'teeth gritty' in tesco's but all in all I survived without too much grinding and gnashing.

I then slept for 3 hours.....maybe I wasnt as recovered as I thought I was! The glass of red in front of me is helping enormously to make me to feel better ....and I have riding and wrapping up presents to look forward to tomorrow. Its great!!!

Finally.

When I said previously "it is offically christmas" I wasnt strictly telling the truth. I still had words to write for the end the term at uni before christmas could be enjoyed.

I have struggled this term. I have spoken to friends at school and we all feal the same. We have done two years and worked quite hard actually, and now, if it was ok with everyone, we'd quite like to stop now!!

I have really enjoyed this terms topics. They have been meaty and more in depth.

I didnt think I would enjoy youth crime, but I really have, and after christmas I am going to see a very nice lady about applying to be on the youth offenders board which decides what to do with young people who offend. (I wont send them to the island!!)
In "invisible crimes" we have looked at corporate crime and although I know that I dont want to do any more investigation into the subject it has been interesting to find out about something that I didnt think would interest me at all.
In "sex crimes" which I knew I would like we have talked about rape, paedophilia, sex and people trafficing, and the media's role in it all. (I love investigating the media's role in anything...evil, corrupt, money making, people scaring, image provoking, thought police ....thats what I think about the media's role in anything.....for example, those WOMEN who were killed recently in Ipswich....they were WOMEN, people, daughters, mothers, friends, nieces, but predominantly women....but all you heard is the word prositute. Prositute this and prostitue that...yes, they were by profession prostitues, but they were so much more than that..you can bet that if they were all ...say...engineers, you wouldnt hear the word 'engineer' banded about with quite such zeal as the word prositute has been. Its almost as if the media is saying its ok for the dreadful murders to have happened, after all what can you expect? they were just, as they keep saying, prostitues!!! (rant over......)

...oh god, because of rant I have completely forgotten what I wanted to say!!!


oh yes..... I have really struggled this term with the whole essay thing, leaving it to absolutly the last minute to complete.
But complete it I have!!!!

Just now!!!!

...... time now to enjoy a time of year that I absolutly love!!!!


GRIN!

Glasses

I have been poorly over the last 4 or 5 days. I think I had a bit of flu, as my bones have been really hurting, and my throat has been so sore that despite pain killers I have still winced slightly every time I swallowed. I have had hot sweats too.... and have repeatedly woken in the night either so hot I thought I would explode or so cold I have gotton up to put socks on. (sexy!!!)

So today, with a doctors appointment booked for later on this afternoon I went in a slightly wobbly fashion to have my eyes tested and choose new glasses. Choosing something that is going to be on your face all day every day for the forseeable future is not an easy task, especially as you cant see yourself properly as you dont have proper lenses in the glasses so everything is a bit blury!!

This years face fashion is designed by Karrn Millen. They are understated and only have frame at the top (the bottom of the glasses is frameless) and despite them being quite different from the last pair I chose I like them. When I returned home and saw Laa-Laa she said they made me look very clever.....I imediatly put on "clever scarf" and we decided while laughing hugely that what with the scarf and the glasses I could pass for a clever university student, rather than the early learning centre student!

"My Boy"

Previously I have written about one of the ponies at Mumbly's who I think is made of gold.

He is, but because he is only a baby he is also made of stubborness and biligerance and down right naughtiness!
Today we bought him in from the field to brush him and generaly tell him how wonderful he is.
He wasnt!

We had to attach him to the stable wall by a length of steel rather than a lead rope because he kept trying to make a dash for freedom. Then we had the whole "no, stand still " thing. In the end I had to persuade him to not throw me hard into the stable wall with a stick in my hand. (he has a very thick coat...it didnt hurt that much!) Then we had the whole, "no really, you can stand on three legs while I pick out your feet" thing. (which he was convinced he couldnt do)

Its all naughtiness, not fear or that he hasnt been asked these things before.... he has been out in the field for 3 months without learning anything new and has grown enormously in that time and needs reminding that actually he has to do as he is told, not do as he wants to.

I took him to the field, where he continued to be a little git! He tried to make another break for freedom and threw his head up, hitting my nose, where upon my glasses went flying, shortly before a car came along and ran them over!! grrrrrrr.

So tomorrow I shall be outside the opticions as they open to get a new pair of glasses, which isnt the end of the world as I was going to do that very thing after christmas, but it wasnt what I had planned for tomorrow!

I still think that My Boy is made of gold. I really love him and still wish either I was much much smaller or he would get much much bigger. He gorgeous! But he will be much better behaved when he is back in learning again, and not quite so boisterous!

Elegance itself.

I have to tell you about my new purchase.

They are old fashioned 1950's baby pink.

They have a three inch heel.

They have a rounded toe, ballet shoe stylie.

They are quite simply the most *elegant* pair of shoes I have ever owned.

They were in the sale!!!!!!

(Now all I have to do is turn the rest of me into elegant and ladies and gentlemen....we have perfection!!! )


God-damn it they are beautiful.



lybxx

Ooooo tasteful!!

It is offically Christmas.

A tree, and various other decorations are now appearing in my house! I have a real tree, which smells devine (and at the time of writting is winning the competative battle of smell against Stinky...Woooo Hooo!!) It about 5 foot tall and its beautifully proportioned. This year, in the spirit of 'girl power' and 'good taste' (sic) it is decorated in baby pink and chocolate brown and the compulsory twinkly white lights.


Small has her own tree in her room. This started when she was 3. She was insistant about putting Barbies and other toys on the tree...... and although for comedy value you just cant beat a Barbie infested tree....I didnt want that to happen, so got her her own tree, which she gets an enormous amount of pleasure from, both in decorating it, and lieing in bed before going to sleep looking at.
This year were have a nativity scene on her tree..... this years partisipants in the tree decorations are various 'Bratz Dolls' 'Polly Pockets' and farm yard animals. Its truely spectacular!!!! (Joseph looks a bit gay however...in a transexual way...his boobs are waaaaaayyyyy to big to carry off the whole 'manly' thang!!)

All I have to do now is finish off the whole essay thing, buy the rest of the gifts for others....Small is all done, just got to get things for other people, and open a bottle of Glayva..... the present I always by for myself at christmas.... and because I only drink it at this time of year, it tastes of christmas...and is alcoholic....who, I ask you, could ask for more??!!

??????

ok, so I have had a very good weekend (grin) but "I am the Sun?" (pulls skeptical face)

These tests are shit arent they??!!!
grin .

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Ahhhhh yum

There is nothing quite like the taste of a glass of red when your feeling self congratulatory.

Its the end of term. Therefore I have words to write. I have just finished an essay which means there is only one more to go. And I can treat myself a little.

horray!!!

Blonde?

Today I went to the hairdressers. Eddie who does my hair is hetrosexual flirty and downright dirty!
I like him!

When I first went to him he wanted me to have much darker hair then I had. Much darker. I have told him, each time I see him what has happened in the past when I have had tried to go from a blonde to a brunette. ( the colour doesnt stay....despite it being perminant colour it comes out, and in about 6/7 weeks I am back to my original blondeness)

Each time I have been he manages to convince me to go a teeny-tiny bit darker. Today, while flirting outragouslyand whispering dirty nothings in my ear (I was *blushing*) he, aparently (!) got the colour mix wrong..... yeah right!.... and I am now wearing his hair (I think he thinks that once he starts to do your hair he then owns it...and you just wear it) which is kinda really dark blonde/light brunette with lighter blonde highlights.

I have walked around alot catching sight of myself in mirrors to see if I like it. I do actually. But if the same thing happens as last time...... I became invisable, and men wouldnt help me (see comments in previous feminism post) then I shall be furious!! ....and if it stops the effect I have on cirtain men I shall demand him return me to the shallow, visably attention seeking and stereotype black man magnet I was first thing this morning!


lybxx

Outing lurkers.....

ok, so I know that there are people that read this that say nothing. And that has been cool, but really, you know, maybe you should say something?....there are very few people who comment, and it makes me think...."what do I have to do to get some comments around here???

Yes, I know the whole signing in thing is a huge pain in the arse, and people forget their passwords etc....but it would be good to hear from you!!!!


.....rant over.....

Lovely lovely

I have had a great weekend.

~on friday I had an additional dance class...in the beginners class we are quite good, so we (Janey and I) were asked to go to another class, an intermediate one on friday evenings. We went. It was *really* different.
In the beginners class we are told the steps, shown what he means by the steps and he builds the dance for us, slowly and repeats steps and instruction until we get it. In the intermediate class he told us the steps and because all the other people have danced for years they know exactly what he means and they just get on with it.
I cant do that yet!! It was fine for a while, and then I started to get cross about my abilities, and got a bit huffy about it. We left, and I continued to be huffy for a while, until Janey teased me enough to stop being such a child about it!
I spent the rest of the evening chatting to Janey about life. She's great. She and I have been friends for years and spending time with her is a joy.

On saturday I cooked dinner and drank wine with Laa-Laa. We caught up with each other in a noisy excitable fashion as it has been a long time since we have seen each other. She and I put the world to rights in a comfortable best friend way.

And on sunday E.J. cooked me and Small a roast. She's good at it!! We werent there very long, and weren't able to really talk as there were Small ears around, but again, it was lovely to see her.

Then....there's more!! on sunday evening I spoke to the 1950's for an hour and a half...... grin x

There......how lovely is all that??? combined with riding really Really fast round a field....so fast in fact, I couldnt breathe, as the wind woooshed past me my face was fixed in the biggest grin imaginable!

...am still grinning about my lovely weekend~ I am so lucky to have the fantastic friends that I have.
