A Book A Month

I'm thinking about doing just that. The year 2013 will be the first year for reading at least one book a month. I'm saying 'at least' because depending on the book, I might read a few in a week.. But then again, I literally decided to do this yesterday - that gave me 4 days to read one book. No worries, I can totally read a book in that space of time - if it wasn't 1000 pages long.

I could have picked any book but I had already started reading this one on Sunday. I think I already mentioned how familiar it all sounded, like I had read the first chapter before.. Well now I've come to realize that I've actually read the first 11 chapters before. I can remember everything I've read so far but it's coming up to a point I'm not familiar with. I'm hoping I haven't read this whole book before but I doubt I have. There are no marks anywhere in the book - meaning I've only read to about 200 pages in one go and then left it.

I think I might have to read the end of this book next month but that's fine coz I still have weeks to read another book and I'm a very fast reader. I'll blog about the books I read. For now I'm thinking I'll just read the books I've bought and never read - the ones gathering dust on my bookshelf so it's a variety of different types of books I'll be reading :)

Talking about reading books.. S said she didn't have time to read the Fifty Shades of Grey books but when she finally picked one of them up and started reading - she was immediately hooked, just like the rest of us. I'm sure she is nearly finished with them now and will be anxiously waiting for the movie, just like me. The wait ia agonizing..

Have a good day!

Early Morning Part 4

The car finally past the MOT and it's good for another year. I think we should totally buy a new one after the summer, when we don't need this one anymore. The amount of money that has been put into this car, would have bought us a new one three times over. At least. But it's done now - except for that minor problem that still needs fixing. Hopefully it wont become as huge a problem as this frickin' seatbelt shit.

I am having breakfast in town. Next to my workplace. Didn't see the point in going home when I start work in 30 minutes. I'll just sit here reading a book or something. Probably the book I've started reading like 3 times and never read past the first chapter. I know this because last night when I started reading it again, I remembered everything that happens in those pages. Hmm nice. But I am determined to finish it this time around.

We went shopping with S and J on Friday. I hate shopping but I didn't find it that bad on friday and I found shit loads of stuff! I went shopping for new tops to wear at work - you know pretty tops, so I can blend in with all the pretty stuff - and I found quite a few of those types of tops. I also found other stuff - equally useful :)

Now it's time to eat some toast. Breakfast toast at Arnolds - could this day start any better?

Working is great!

I'm working a lot at the moment. It feels like that's all I do nowadays and I'm loving it! There's a lot of good in working all the time; more time around people - less lazy time on the couch, more to put away in savings and let's face it - more money. There is a downside however.. Not a lot of time to spend with your loved ones, especially those closest to you who are used to getting the attention. It's bad. But I feel like we spend many hours a day together when I get off work, so what's the problem?

B hasn't been working a lot lately, and he's been spending more time at home - maybe cabbin fever has set in? I have some experience about little work and a lot time spent at home, and I can tell you this - it gets really boring, really quickly.

I just feel like we don't have that much to talk about at the moment. Or that we don't really click on any level and that is obviously making it even harder to make the most of these hours we spend together.. I don't see it getting any better since I'm working nearly every day except Sundays next month. It might get a bit tricky coz B isn't the most flexible or understanding. Hopefully it'll all be good and we wont fight as much as we did this month. Here's to hoping!

Ps. Maybe this Dropless January is ruing my relationship?!

Early Morning Part 3

I'd like to say that getting up gets easier with the amount of mornings you do it, but it really doesn't. Or maybe it does but there would have to be less waiting around and more to do. I've got one more thing this morning and then it's back home to play with J :)

I went to the dentist yesterday. I didn't know what they were going to do and I was expecting what ever they did to hurt like hell but it didn't hurt at all. Not until the numbness went away and I thought my head was going to explode. I don't know why - maybe coz they cut a piece of my gum out or because I haven't had that much done to my mouth - but I felt really weird and sick to my stomach. I had to give in and leave work early.

So yesterday was a complete bust. I did nothing but lazy out on the couch eating painkillers, while B cleaned the house. Today will be a little different. I won't push myself but I'll do more today. I at least have to go to the tax office and into town to take my tax card into work. I was going to MOT the car again but there is still something wrong with it. The indicators still stopped working.

I listen to music through my ipod in the car, and that stopped working. Then I went to turn and the indicator didn't work. Well then I stopped at the shop and phoned J and he said to go over and take their car so he can have a look at mine and because I turned the player off completely during the phonecall, and didn't turn it back on - the indicators started working again. I have no idea what's wrong with the car. It's very frustrating. Hopefully we can fix it before I MOT it tomorrow. Shit.

Well it's time for my appointment now. Have a nice day :)

Early Morning Part 2

Here I am again. Having coffee (Battery) with all the other early birdies. I think they've actually been to work and I'm just killing time but it's all the same. It's early. Too early to function without coffee (Battery) :) That sounds quite bad considering I've already drove around this morning, but it was an automatic so don't really need to do anything. It is true - you wake up easier and stay awake driving a manual coz you actually have to do some driving :)

I've got a dentist appointment this morning. I don't feel that nervous about it at the moment but I'm sure that I will - as soon as I walk into that office that has that smell. I could recognize it anywhere and feel that pinch in my stomach. But this is something I have to do if I want this thing to heal. Also, I should really book an appointment to pull the other two wisdom teeth that I have left. They say the upper ones hurt more to pull but don't hurt that much afterwards so it's all good.

I watched the most stupid cartoon EVER this morning before leaving the house. It was between the cartoon and the shopping channel. I couldn't handle the happy chatter about a fruit mixer so I decided on the cartoon. What a huge mistake. It had some animals and a girl. Some old guy and a tent. They spoke chinese every now and then and suddenly started singing for a few seconds. It reminded me of that SNL japanese talk show or what ever, it was just as confusing but not funny like SNL.

Now it's time to move on. Get in the car a drive towards pain and suffering. How lucky am I?

Early Morning

The good thing about working 10- 18 is that you don't have to get up too early in the morning, and the bad thing is that when you one day do need to get up earlier than usual, you're not used to it and feel very tired. I am used to getting up at 8 - I like to sit around for an hour before I do anything and then slowly do my make up while watching programs. So today when the alarm went off at 6.30am, I felt a little pinch in my brain. But it's all good.

We had a meeting in work this morning and that is partly the reason I got up so early - the other reason was my desire to do that one good deed per day. I didn't want my friend to have to walk so far in the freezing winter morning, so I drove her to work and her job starts a little earlier than mine :) It was all good - I went for coffee and did my blog.

Now you might be wondering about that early morning blogging.. I did write quite a long post while having coffee (actually Battery - don't really care for coffee) but this piece of shit blogger app never published it. I've come to the conclusion that these free apps are great to use but not very trustworthy. That is quite mean - it normally always publishes, but then again it would be nice if it always published without a doubt..

I have decided not to dye my hair red. There's a few people who would really like me to dye my hair red again because apparantly it really suits me but it's just too much hard work. Also, if I ever get pregnant, I can't dye my hair for the duration of my pregnancy and it would look awful. Sorry guys ( especially E ).

Now it's back to work and hoping you have a wonderful day :)

Healthy Living (probably) Part 37

As you all know, we've tried this healthy living - thing many times before and always failed. We've always given up and gone to Maccies or something. Well not this time. I know it's a bit early to say that - we've only been at it for a week but this time it feels right. We've done this so many times before that we now know what works for us and what doesn't. Actually, B has never taken part in this before and now he has, maybe that is why I feel like we'll succeed.

I've worked 6 days a week before, I've even done like 14 days in a row - but for some reason this 6 day working week felt like it sucked the life out of me. I didn't feel tired at all while working, but saturday night happened and I woke up at 2.30pm on Sunday. Maybe I felt like that because we're not drinking. I mean, I know it sounds weird because drinking makes you tired and hangover but not drinking makes you tired - apparantly.

So now I really need to get some more sleep because I'm working tomorrow. B is off for the next 3 days and I truly hope he'll eat healthy lunches because that's what I'm doing and even though it's not food I'm having for lunch, I feel just as full but not tired and cold like I would after a big meal. It's awesome and I want that for him too :)

Have an amazing new week everyone! :)
