So people around me may have noticed this, but I have like an EPIC issue with crying... as far as my worldview goes, there's nothing more humiliating than crying in front of people... to this day I'm not entirely certain why but I have come to accept that crying happens and the best thing to do about it is let it happen ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I get a G2 touch phone. This is an android phone on T-Mobile, reason being that despite their previous royal screw-up they were apologetic enough and more than willing once I explained my case to give it to me for £25 a month with unlimited texts, more minutes than I've ever used and unlimited internet ( Read more... )

Today I discovered several things. I guess I should begin at the start rather than the middle...
My day began at 6:15, when I went to bed because I was finally tired enough to actually sleep. I had set my alarm for 8:45 because I wanted to have sufficient snoozes to be able to get to the doctor for 10:10 and proceeded to sleep through the alarm ( Read more... )

Much as I tend to be a gregarious individual, I find that lately I have very little to talk about and even less patience for socialising than I expected... this is a problem for me ( Read more... )

Today was the first day that Joseph showed any promise whatsoever that he might be beginning to be ready for potty training... see, at my mum's he was willing to sit on the toilet for her when she asked him to but today he actually asked to do so, putting the seat thingy there himself and then sitting on it for a bit. Granted, he didn't do anything ( Read more... )

Well, today was the first of two days in which I'm babysitting a friend's child and I have to say that the chances of me ever giving my floofkin a sibling are looking ever slimmer. For starters, I both dislike feeding small children and cleaning up after their inevitable mess. The fact that they reach out and try to wipe their disgusting fingers ( Read more... )

I would attempt NaNoWriMo, but all I seem able to write these days is more of the same stuff and even then I can manage about 20,000 words before my brain just stops and the story gets left behind as another one pushes its way to the start... thus this year, yet again, I am passing on NaNo ( Read more... )

So... Joseph's at my mum's until Tuesday next week, which means I get two days of DDR freedom and thus I can exercise until my body explodes... This is all well and good, except for the fact that I'm really uncoordinated and suck at DDR ( Read more... )

Right, here's the deal... I'm permanently in a state of confusion about all these people that take pictures of themselves but ALL the pictures are of them pouting at the camera making them look like they're either trying to be a duck or constipated ( Read more... )

So this week and last week I've been making regular trips to the outside world in order to find a DVD for Joseph that features both Spanish and English language options. Two trips in, my quest appears to be completely fruitless, unless I try and wangle it so that family in Spain receive the DVDs and then send them on to me or I order region 1 DVDs ( Read more... )
