So this morning I feel BLEURGH
Seriously I woke up feeling like an ad for flu meds, headache, pain, fever and just for fun I have stomach cramps thrown in,because my body has joined in with my family in judging me for not getting pregnant.
No man this is sooooo not how I want to start my brand new (for the next paper) to-do-list.
I don’t like being sick, ok so I like the husband faffing over me and getting meds and chai tea brought to me as I lie in bed 🙂 
I don’t really like medication though because I am way to curious a person to be falling asleep when the world is quite clearly going on without me.
“What just happened?,” I ask for the fourth time as I try to catch up on the movie we have been watching for no more than half an hour (I keep passing out)
Being sick at home is still bearable, it’s being at work with people rushing to meet deadlines that I really can’t stand.
Here I am using every last drop of energy I have to try and stay awake, try not to cough, sniff or scream “leave me the heck alone” (did I mention I get crabby when I’m sick) while I feel people are looking at me thinking, “why does she look so sleepy,late night I bet, no priorities” , “I wonder if she’s going to try to go home because of the sniffles when I was here with the plague just last week” , “ooh the drama queen is looking weak again, bloomen hypochondriac”
—Ok ok so I might be a little dramatic and a lot paranoid, but point is I don’t like being sick it’s annoying !!!!

have a good day and pass the Benylin

Tuesdays are Shoes days: one day, when Im all growned up

I totally forgot it’s shoe day (shame on me) and am currently wearing a pair I have featured before (I woke up with a bit of a jolt, ran through the shower and am still trying to recover from that “shaken awake” headache).
The lack of something new gave me an idea I’ll show you my drool list, top 5 pairs of shoes I’d love to own

I fell inlove with these Viviene Westwood Melissa’s in Brazil
and was so excited that you could buy them in PE,
 I can’t even express how sad I was that they did’nt have my size
(I don’t often buy very expensive shoes, but was willing to not eat for these)



Yes I’m short so these Creative Recreaction Women’s
Morentina hi boots would look silly on me, doesnt make me
love them less, and you can unzip them into ankle, knee and thigh length



Holy Jimmy Choo, I want to be the type of woman who NEEDS these shoes,
like I want to have to attend things where these shoes are compulsary
oh and I wanna get them free, hehe



These Nicholas Kirkwood booties make me want to get on stage
and perform like a Rock Star 🙂



Zara Black, I have no words I actually gave these shoes a
moment of silence, because well, look at the picture, if I was Cinderella
I’d want these instead of some glass slippers 🙂

Eating and shopping at the same time? I likey

I was saying on Saturday how much I love Deli Street Cafe (went there for lunch on Friday) and my friend just sent me pictures she took there so I thought I’d share:
Mo just basically said, “hey pretty light lets take a pic”
and we did 🙂
This is “the Mo” I keep mentioning (we the hardly hang, but always close kinda friends),
 she is a great photographer, even though I always manage to look dorky.
This is the female Rob in my life,
total bff (studied together, work together and were in each others weddings)
We getting clothes and food at the  same time, talk about multitasking 🙂
“Why so serious”, Joker voice

Just another manic Monday

Woke up pleased as punch (don’t know where they get these sayings from as I was happy, but not liquid or alcoholic) but anyway I could not be more proud of Rob who starts his new life as a Constable Detective today. He was all formal pants and shirt this morning a far cry from waking up to him in his military or fire fighter uniform. I’m really happy for him because this is what all the waiting and studying and stuff was for.
He left a hour before I did, you would think this would give me plenty of time to get ready, but I’m such a lazy bum on Mondays. I just lay there contemplating waking up and was too late to actually do hair so I ended up with this bed head instead of the intended curls (have a cocktail party to attend straight from work so I planned on getting ready at the office and hair that does not look like a crows nest would have helped the situation along.)
My hair is not helpful today in any case, smells lovely though because my hair products (kerastase at the moment) have these days where it just doesn’t feel like activating, but it’ll throw me a bone and atleast smell nice.
Anyway what was my point….
uhm here is five things I know for sure this Monday (how very Oprah of me)
— I’m really proud of Robin
— I need to get to dieting again
— PMS can kiss my ass (currently its too busy kicking my ass to do any kissing)
— I’m super broody (need to babysit again so I can get over it – nothing says rather not like a crying baby)
— I have the attention span of a geriatric goldfish

I’m such a lucky girl
