Dear England,

I love you lots but it's Bank Holiday Monday and it's dark and rainy.

Give us all a break and get it grip, it's May for gawds sake.

Love,

Emily

Ps I have enclosed a picture of me on a horse in Death Valley last October, so you get the idea.

Stupid.

Has anyone seen been to see Sex and the City 2 yet?!

I went today and I have 2 things to say....

1. I Love this dress



and

2. I would love to go to Morocco.




I'm such an idiot, had a very big blonde moment and left my car lights on ALL NIGHT.When I went to drive to the cinema my beloved Betty was dead, poor thing.

I went to the cinema on my own, is that weird? I absolutely love going on my own. I can eat as much popcorn as I like and not have to share my Fanta slushy.

Does anyone else?!

Hope you're all having a lovely bank holiday weekend.

Best Friends

You can be away from your best friend for months, but the minute you meet up the crazy faces come out!!

New York, does exactly what it says in the title.

I've been so crazy stressing about life this week that I forgot all about my lovely long weekend in New York with my mum way back in April. I managed to convince my dad to lend me his fancy pants Canon camera and somehow I managed not to damage it (I'm a klutz).
It was a pretty eventful weekend with lots of shopping, eating, site seeing and some terrorist trying to blow up Times Square but I won't dwell on that...

Needless to say the fancy pants camera took some amazing shots, hope you like them and my playsuit!

Smile, though your heart is aching

This week is turning out to be a tough one, so getting out of the house today for some fresh air was vital. I took Spencer, his favourite toy and my little camera and started to snap snap snap away.

I'm so pleased with the way they turned out, here are my favourites..

Last weekend was so gorgeous, it got to 30 degrees on Monday virtually unheard of here.

So here are a few colourful beauties from the local park and our little BBQ in the back garden, long may this great weather continue x

Like?

Heard this on the radio the other day. It's so cute and summery.

When Life Hands You Lemons

So I didn't get in, meh.

The remedy that will make this all better, a gin and tonic and a good dance around to Prince.

It's too beautiful outside to be sad, for everything a reason.....right?

The Back Up Plan.

Yo,

Still stressed out central here, the only good things going on are the weather, it's super sunny and warm and here. Also
my boyf has finally given in and let me have his Lindt bunny left over from Easter (!) needless to say that was devoured in minutes.

Still no news on my interview, I'm totally in limbo and a major grump. I've been a bitch to anyone that's phoned, text or spoken face to face with me this past week (including my mum) which is totally unnecessary and rude but I can't help it I'm terrible in moments like this.

This silly thing about this whole situation is I've not got any other options, I have to get this placement, I have no back up plan.

Eek.

Deep breaths.

It's times like this when I start singing "Que sera sera, whatever will be will be, the futures not ours to see que sera sera"

Inner monologue...Head up, keep going, this can't be any worse than the time you lost your job after you bought your first house or when you failed your driving test for the 8th time (!)

Have a fabulous weekend whatever you get up to, I hope it's beautiful and by Monday my life will be changing all over again.

Lack of Motivation.

Since the weekend I have been seriously struggling with a severe lack of motivation.

Just writing that sentence takes it out of me.

I can't precisely put my finger on the main cause of my studden stop but I'm guessing it can be summed up by the following equation;

Stress of interview+post interview nerves/nothing to look forward too-NYC-Flight of the Conchords+waiting on the rest of your life= lack of motivation.


What I need is some emotional jump leads right now, or a push start as I'm feeling like a rusty VW caravan trying to get up a hill.

Bah x

I Wish.....

this was me.

Sex and the City

As I've left work and become a full time house girlfriend (sounds kind of seedy) I've been well behaved and kept on top of all the housey things and making packed lunch for h2b.Don't worry I am not completely void of ambition, just taking a well earned break and will be back to my normal kick ass work self soon.

My daily splurge of pleasure is an episode of Sex and the City, since the show came to and end there has always been a gap in my TV life that no other programme has been able to fill. Although god bless 'em they've tried with Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl and the rest nothing will ever come close to those 4 ladies and their fashions.

So here, for you, is my favourite clip from Sex and the City. It makes me howl with laughter every time.

Enjoy

Little Boxes, Little Boxes

Hello There!

As the sun came out this morning I felt it was high time I put out some window boxes, to make the house look summery (nothing to do with the neighbours having beautiful window boxes!!)

It was my first time at creating window boxes, I wouldn't say I have green fingers and generally the only thing I make in the garden is a mess. So I'm really pleased with the final results and I must, MUST remember to water them daily!

I also have loads of Violas left over too, so no doubt I'll have more creative floral blogs to come!

A tough time

Just popped in to check up on things, I've missed my ramblings and jottings.

Have a tough scary interview coming up this week, which if being successful would completely change my life. I could cry I'm so nervous about it.

So I'll be back, full time, after Tuesday when I'm a little less stressed and a little more me.

Love x
