I recently stumbled across food_porn through my friendsfriends page.  How do they manage not to eat their food straight away??  This evening we had home made pizzas and they were lovely - but they didn't last long enough to be photographed.  Hell burning three of my fingers didn't even slow me down!!!
On the other hand three scalded fingers will slow down my already very slow progress on a crochet blanket.
Nuts!

Holy Fuck!
Go And See It!

I have just turned my desk around and I'm being silently adored by Oscar.  The other two ladies are purr monsters but Oscar has this really quiet purr that is soo comforting.

I've also signed up for Wonderlands where they commit random acts of Fantasy since 2008.  It's good fun - I'm saying that but so far all I've done is drive by commenting.  I must say though it has cheered me up as I was wallowing in my technical inabilities.

Himself will be home soon so I'd better be wifely and put on his dinner.

I would sell my sorry soul just to have the bed all to myself some weekend morning.  Despite grumbling about never ever being allowed to stay in bed on my own and even having hissy fits over it - it makes no difference.  I could stay on in bed for a while if left on my own but the minute himself decides he wants to go back to bed that's it I have to get up.  It drives me crackers and I don't think he's even noticed.  Anyway I'm off to get a blanket and lie on the sofa instead of my lovely warm bed.

I had a fantastic sleep on this morning and didn't wake (at all) until 10am - I haven't done that in I don't know how long!  I'd been feeling a bit lost in myself over the last few days and this all came to a head after breakfast when I sat on the bed with my coffee and cried my eyes out.  However himself came in and with a little chat made the world a better place - and I felt a lot better for it.  Anyway we went out after that- well after a soak in the bath to give my face a chance to stop looking like somebody who'd been trying to make their face go red - did you ever do that as a kid?  Anyway when I wasn't so beetroot we went off to town and picked up a few things - for me it was a bag of buttons, a pretty box and an Agatha Raisin book.  We pottered around town a bit more and now we're home.  I think I'm going to spend the evening crocheting my blanket and I'll turn my hand to my sisters blanket tomorrow.    Mind you I'm knackered after all the crying and I have a bit of a headache :(

My name is spelled      D E I R D R E     even when I sign mails and stuff     D E I R D R E   I get return spellings of DEIDRE  no that is not me - if you put that into some of my mail addresses it will bounce - the annoying thing is when people don't bother to notice this and then whinge about not receiving a reply - it's because you've spelt my name wrong!!!!!  

Teehee - I've just been wombling through facebook and went on a "become a fan" binge  - so sorry to you folks who have to figure out what the hell I was up to :)

I don't know why but this year I just haven't had the hang of mornings.  I slept fairly well last night then woke up about an hour before I got up due to mad dreams and then that last hour was disturbed.  Ok so it was disturbed by the snooze button but that is only a minor detail.  I should probably have gotten up when the alarm went off but I was too wrecked.  Ah well - I might get an early night tonight - it's the plan but these things rarely happen. 
I suppose I should wander off and get ready for yet another fantastic day of work - actually today won't be too bad - we have silence to look forward to.

I'd like to buy a tent - no reason just want to. 
Himself is against the notion - well he's not against the notion but if I do get one he's against any plans I might have for him to take part in using the tent.  Don't know why I always enjoyed it. 
Ok so there wouldn't be much opportunity to use it here but there are warmer countries then Ireland out there! 
No doubt this is just a phase and will pass ever before I get to hand over any money.

I've just spotted them as I was drying my hair!  Normally I'd have a long sleeves on first thing in the morning and it's first thing in the morning so I don't spot them but I have t-shirt on and my wings are in full flight!  Eeek!

This afternoon myself and my sister are going to an Indian cooking class - it should be fun.  I was talking to the lady and she was saying that it's from 2 - 6pm but we won't be allowed to leave until we manage to fold a samosa correctly.  I am looking forward to this - we did one of her classes last year and it was fun and I've cooked some of the stuff a few times since so that has to be good although I wasn't too keen on the paneer as it was a little bit too fresh for my liking.
Yes I think this is going to be pleasant afternoon.

Was better the Bonekickers. 

I think I've just done something foolish.

I don't know why but for the last while I've been suffering from mood swings - mercifully not a wide variety of moods and when I say suffering I really should say I'm having the mood swings himself has been suffering from them.
On the other hand I'm in a grand mood today - despite somebody doing their best to sabotage it (not intentionally I hope)  To be honest I'm not sure what the root cause is or if there is just one cause but at the moment I'm happy - this is good 'cause I really was like a tinker yesterday.

I still hate going to sleep in daylight but as I'm tired I think I'm going to hit the hay

headache, period pain (but not due periods) slightly bungy, sleepy, Grumpy.

I hate going to sleep in day light.  10.30 last night and it was still bright.

I just want to hide for a while.

Yesterday I was wrecked and it felt like I had a hangover but without the alcohol - I'm guessing dehydration - there was also a bad nights sleep thrown into that mix.  However today I'm just not in the mood - I really don't want to have to do anything.  A day without interacting with anybody would be good - or at least in my book it would.
Unfortunately it won't go my way but I still have to show my face - it is going to be an earphones day I think.  BTW did I mention that there is a problem with noise pollution in our office - there are times when you can't hear yourself think and there are times when you can't hear the person at the desk next to you - and it all emanates from the one person!  so yeah earphones.

Argh! I have a papercut underneath my nail. It's icky and sore :(

Well the last few days can only be described as roller coaster - from Wednesday hearing the news about Frank - although it was expected it's never easy when somebody you know dies.  So that mean removal and funeral on Thursday & Friday.  You know that if you pick a person and then try to imagine never seeing or hearing from them again - it is virtually impossible - you live with it but you can't imagine it. 
We got to see the apartments belonging to natural20 and my sister.  My sister had the added attraction of a dwarf rabbit - it was dinky!!!
Anyway after a long day came an early morning and off to the airport - small delays but we eventually got to Liverpool at 1pm (ish)  So off to Leah & Johns apt and meet the other house guests.  There was much chatting and then out to dinner.  The food was lovely the added sauce was that we were starving.  Anyway off to the book launch of "800 Years Of Haunted Liverpool"  and there was a good turn out so that was good.  I began to fade at about 9pm so we all headed off soon after that.  During the course of the day there was much slagging about the accidentaly scheduling of a book launch against the final episode of Dr. Who.  So once we were back in the apt as the kettle was put on and coats were removed we were checking out BBC iPlayer (we were in the UK and therefore possible! - poo to not being able to watch it here in Ireland)  ANYWAY Dr Who was there so teas & coffees were made and seven chairs were put into the spare room / office - it was almost like a mini cinema or as the jokes went - like a video room at a con.  So there we got watch the Dr - still not sure what I make of it - possibly leaning towards not overly enamoured with it.  Did you know that airbeds are very comfy but you do tend to bounce on them when the other person rolling over isn't very smooth about it.  I got my lie on!!  10 am when I woke up/got up.  so it was shower and head out for a fried breakfast.  We ended up in Nandos not having a fry - not sure how to describe so I'm not going to.  When we finished it was over to check out the times of the train back to the airport - we had 15 minutes to leg it back to the car and get the bags and then get back to the station and onto the train.  The next train would have been cutting it too close (or so we thought)  The flight was 16.25 and we got onto the plane at 17.00 and as for take off well that was at 17.55.  We were back home just as Dr Who was repeated on BBC3.  I think it's time for bed as I've work tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it.
Reality here I come :(

I hate disturbing dreams they really mess with your sleep! 
I was dreaming I was somewhere that was very cold/icy but that wasn't normally so.  Anyway I was wandering through a grassy / fieldy / parky kind of place and a cat came sliding by well when I say sliding it was actually trying to walk on the icy path and failing miserably and it was slightly comical so once I got the animal onto the grass it was a bit steadier on its feet but that was when I noticed a huge rabbit stretched out on the grass (I blame my sister for the introduction of rabbits to my dream and 'cause hers is a dwarf my dream rabbit had to be slightly bigger then you would expect) ANYWAY back to stretched out bunny - I went up to look at it and decided it was dead - I made this leap of conclusion when I saw that it seemed to be missing the back of its head.  Almost as if somebody had put a square table leg on it the wound was at right angles.  Mercifully my imagination doesn't know what the wound should look like so it wasn't gorey.  Looking at this non gorey but yet horrific wound I figured it had been there a while because the open area all seemed to be frozen so I'm thinking poor bunny!  I change the way I'm standing and all of a sudden I can see that the rabbit isn't dead and it's eyes are open and it's nose is twitching.  OMG what do I do??  If the weather changes and the wound melts the poor animal will be in great pain how do I save it from the pain or put it out of its misery?  and with this I woke up - and because I was knackered I only lay away being bothered about it for roughly 5/10minutes and flaked out again but jeez it really messes with your head and that's not nice at 3am!

There is nothing worse then having a selection of books you really want to read next.
I'm reading The Janissary Tree by Jason Goodwin at the moment.  Depending on how that goes I might go straight into the second one The Snake Stone. 

The others begging to be read are:
The Eye Of The World - Robert Jordan
Something Wicked - David Roberts
Agatha Raisin And The Quiche Of Death - M C Beaton
List Of Seven - Mark Frost
Dead Souls - Ian Rankin
