This is the christmas spirit i have been given

Wow the attitude i have been getting the past few days is taking the mick.

 First i didn't get any BBQ sauce for their Christmas dinner, erm hello stop being a freak and have gravy. Second yes i am a lady but ladies break wind and sometimes yes it does have a smell to it, there was no need to announce it to the whole living room. Third, i had surgery on my back and face in the past 2 weeks, i can barely lie down comfortable never mind having sex. Forth, go in a mood with me because i ask if they will ask if there are more stock of Pepsi max, because its OK you wont be drinking it right.......so ill get a diet Pepsi and then you can ask if you can open the Pepsi max, erm i think not. Fifth, I'm sorry but referring to the surgery part again, i cant sleep comfortable so why do you think leaning on you on the sofa just because you want some attention. Sixth, why must you always keep tapping me, or nudging me, or making stupid noises to get my attention, and then wonder why i get annoyed, then say I'm moody....NO SHIT!!!!!!! Then go up stairs and watch TV in a mood, i really don't care no more, keep taking the PISS.

christmas chocolates mmmm

I went out to pick up the last few things before the shops close for Christmas and i came across these beautiful chocolates i just had to get some. They are Irish cupcake chocolates and the cutest things i have ever seen, they don't taste too bad either, lol.

You will see one empty hole, that's because my mom couldn't wait for me to take a picture before devouring one, lol.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Day 30 – A photograph of yourself today + three good things that have happened in the past 30 days

Day 30 – A photograph of yourself today + three good things that have happened in the past 30 days
I don't have a picture from today as i have been really busy with shopping and the vets and making sure everything is ready for but i will re post a couple from the last few days.

The first one was from Tuesday night and the second one was from yesterday after my surgery.


The 3 good things that have happened in the last 30 days are:
1. I broke up from work for the Christmas holidays.
2. I got some amazing compliments at work about my outfit for the last day at work.
3. I have been able to teach Mimi to lie down (finally) and to push open the back door after toilet and push it closed after she is done.

Days 26, 27, 28 and 29

Sorry i haven't posted for my blog challenge for a few days i have been really busy, yesterday i finished work for the Christmas holidays and me and my mom were asked to do the food for the party so we have been so bust shopping and cooking over the past few days i have bearly had time to read eveyones posts but i managed it, the food was awesome, here is me yesterday:

As i have written before i love Christmas and i love dressing up so whats better than to dress up at Christmas. I was also shocked that my hair stayed curly, i normally spend like an hour on curling then as soon as i head out its gone flat so i was surprised.

I had to have a mole removed from my face today and i look like Nelly i have this plaster across my cheek but it is quite tender though.

Below there are 2 pictures where you can see the mole on my right cheek (on the left of the pictures)

I was told there didn't look like a problem with the mole but it had grown a bit and when i look down i could see it so i thought i will see if the doc will take it off (along with one on my back which had a skin tag in it). So i went today and she injected my face and it went numb almost straight away, the only think is i could feel what she was doing, not in a painful way but the sensation was making me a little woozy, i could feel her 'scooping' out the mole, it was one of the weirdest feeling ever. and now for the next few days i have to go around looking like this:

Now for the 4 days of challenges.

Day 26 – Someone you admire.

I admire Emma Watson, Hermionie Grainger from Harry potter, i know this one sounds strange but never once have i heard that she has been a diva or thinks she is better than anyone because she is famous, it was only recently that she said how shocked she was when she realised just how much money she has. She also goes to uni in America like any other normal girl. Such an inspiration.
Day 27 – A picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then?

This was at my baptism in march 2009, since then i have changes in that i no longer attend church. I am and always will be a christian but last Christmas i was accused of stealing the one of our pastors tops from the ironing shop where i used to volunteer every Thursday morning and the odd day when someone else couldn't do it. I couldn't believe it, they were always gossiping about people who had left the church for whatever reason, and the day the top went missing i left with a tiny little gift bag that was about 2 inch by 4 inch which had a little gift from the pastor for my help in the shop, so where was i supposed to have put this top, i am not even the same shape or size as her. I just thought this was not on, for a while i was having texts asking if i had seen it as it was missing then that it was expensive and i will admit i did iron it, but i was hanging in that shop when i left. So that is how i have changed from this picture.

Day 28 – Your favourite movie.

I have so many movies that are my favourite that i don't know what to put, but i will say that some of the movies i can watch over and over again are the bring it on movies. I saw the first one while i was a cheerleader and i loved it.

Day 29 – Something you could never get tired of doing.

I could never get tired of watching Disney, it doesn't bother me if it is movies or shows i love Disney, i don't think i will ever grow out of it.

Sorry about the picture over load, i think i got a little carried away.

blog swap with Jourie for 20sb

Today is the day for the 20sb blog swap and i am swapping with jourie over at http://ifyoureadthisnotthat.blogspot.com/  you can pop over there to see my post on her blog too.

So over you you

..................................

It seems to me that this question is another form of asking what my New Year’s resolution is going to be. Because of that, it’s hard for me to come up with an appropriate answer since I’ve never really been interested in or supported the idea of having one. I think New Year’s resolutions are pretty ridiculous actually. I mean c’mon, do they ever really work? So many times I’ve heard something like, “I’m going to lose X pounds this year.” Not to sound too pessimistic but it can be pretty difficult to obtain this goal when it lasts more as a one-month workout routine rather than a whole year ordeal. I’m sure resolutions are great for various people, especially those who honestly seek to achieve them, I’d just rather not have one. If I want to do something, I go out and do it. I don’t really need the beginning of a New Year as a pretext.
Okay, enough of me ranting. To humor the question, I will still answer it :)
There are a lot of things that I’ve been putting off. One of the main ones is finding a job. I guess it hasn’t been a big priority because I’ve always been more concerned with finishing school and getting good grades. Shoot, if I had to work and go to school at the same time, I’d be a lot more stressed out and I’m sure my grades would suffer a bit. Either that or I’d be virtually surviving off of coffee daily due to a lack of sleep. After I graduate next summer, I will definitely submerge myself into the typical post-college job hunt.
However, I think a bigger priority for me would be to travel to see all the people that I have met in the past year or two. While studying abroad in Guanajuato, Mexico, I met a handful of great people who I now consider some of my best friends. I miss them a lot and think of them often. It’s hard to spend so much time with a certain group of friends in another country and then be separated after the semester ends. We are all still in contact through Facebook, but I would really like to take the time to go visit them. The only unfortunate thing is that they live all across the country – California, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, and Rhode Island. I can only hope that I’ll find the time and money to make these visits after I graduate this summer. I’d also like to visit my grandma out in Arizona and my host family in Mexico again too. So if anyone has any ideas as to how to purchase all these plane tickets, feel free to let me know! Or maybe I should just become a stewardess! (;
So for those of you who set out to accomplish a New Year’s resolution, good luck! Thanks for reading & be sure to come visit my blog to check out Amy’s post as well as some more of mine!

.....................

I would like to thank Jourie for her post, i really had no idea what i was going to write but i managed something even though it was probably so lame lol.

White christmas???????? maybe!!!!

With just a week to go till Christmas i am so wondering if this may actually be a white Christmas.

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!

I cant wait till i have kids so that we can be all excited together, play in the snow and eat till we almost explode lol.

Yesterday the weather forecast was right (for once) that we would have snow, and boy did. we. have. snow....

Last night we had some snow but i thought that was going to be it, but we had a bit more over night and up until about 4:30 this afternoon it hadn't stopped, so i let the dog out this morning and she was OK with it.

Notice the snow is not very deep... well my brother was taking out a bag of trash and Mimi followed him out and the snow was up around her body, an extra like 5 or 6 inches and she ended up with little snowballs hanging from her lil doggy boobies under carriage, that's when i realised it wasn't a good idea letting her out for a while.

Its weird because she loves the snow but hates the rain, and i mean with a passion. i took her out a few months ago and while we were out it decided to pee it down, it was like a monsoon, and she whined all the way back, i had to pull her along to get her to come home, i don't know what she wanted me to do, pick her up and put her in my coat???? I think not Missy....

Earlier this week i also wanted to know where the reset button was for her.

See she learns things quite fast so sit was down by 10 weeks, and roll over by 13, but you know what she never learned lie down, so for ages i was trying to get her to lie down but all she would do is roll over, i was beginning to think she would never get it but i sat her down in the living room with no toys but plenty of treats and we had a break through.

I did have to hold her butt at first so she didn't roll but in the end she did it, again and again and again. So this morning i asked my mom to record it as she may decide to never do it again so i needed proof lol. (And the fact that she is normally kept in the kitchen and as the floor is cold she will not lie down in there.)

If you could please forgive me for the whole outfit and undone hair and no make up and general ickyness of me i had a Small surgery on my back on Friday and i am a little bit rough, please forgive me.....

Day 25 – Your Favourite Colour

My favourite colour is purple, and pink. Pink used to be my favourite but then it started to get very popular for chavs, i mean head to toe in pink tracksuits and their kids the same so i cut back on the pink. But purple is like totally awesome, that's why my colour scheme for the wedding is purple. For your viewing pleasure here are a few picks of my purple bits and pieces.

Pre blog swap

Well i am like 2 days away from my first blog swap and i have no idea how its going to work, i have my partner and we have out topic, if we decided to use it, but every blog swap i have read all the people are so interesting and im, well not, i dont know what im going write. The topic is "Action. What will you do next year that you've been putting off for too long?...... Where do i go with this?????? Im sure i will work something out.

Day 24 – A photo of something that means a lot to you.

This means such a lot to me, this is me and my mom, she hates having her picture taken, lol. My mom is my best friend, i know people say their mom is their best friend but they have another best friend, well no, me and my mom do so much together its unreal, we used to go to the gym together like 5 times a week, we go shopping every week together, we even work together, if i have a problem my mom is there, if she has a problem i am there, the only thing is when i move out i will miss my mom so much even though i will be seeing her almost everyday for work.

Day 23 – Your Skincare Regime.

I have never really been effected by spots until these last few years with stress but even then there are only a few and nothing really major so when i was in college i would only uses wipes on my face unless i was having a facial then i would have the lot, cleanse tone and moisturise, now i sometimes use moisturiser before i put my make-up on but as i don't wear it every day i just stick to a bit of Johnson's baby lotion and sun cream if I'm gonna be outside a lot.

Day 22 – A photo of you as a child.

This was me when i was about 4 or 5, i loved having my picture taken so i have a million pictures that i could put on here but i dont think my scanner would cooperate for that long, lol.

Dressing up

I love to dress up, for Christmas, Halloween, for the charity midnight walk, if there is somewhere i can go that will allow me to dress up i will. Here are some of my dressing up that i have done in the past.

This first one was home made, as most of my costumes were, in the school fancy dress competition, i don't know if i won or not but i didn't care i was a butterfly.

This next one was for comic relief, as you can tell by the noses, this is me on the left and my younger brother on the right and we went to school like this, both costumes we handmade too.

I think this one is a little bit ironic as i have a severe phobia of spiders, but yes again this was handmade, I'm not sure where i was going on this one probably school again, no i didn't just turn up at school wearing costumes there was always a reason for it.

This one was one of my favourites, i was Freddie Kruger and believe it or not this one was for my brownies Halloween party, everyone else went as witches or cats so i had to be different, i had gelatin on my face and hand to make it look like burnt skin and my mom made my glove from card and spray paint.

This one wasn't actually me dressing up, i was part of the Asian dance group in school and i loved bangra so much, i loved wearing different coloured sari's, my mom didn't make this one but she did make me a green sari and an orange shalwa kamize, (sorry for the spelling).

This was a party for our twin friends, john and Emily, i was a pink fairy and Dave was a bum/hobo/tramp/homeless person whatever you and to call them.

This one was for the mary stevens charity ladies midnight walk, most people wore PJ's and feather boas and flashing ears but i just used it as another excuse to get a new costume lol.

This is my new one that i will be wearing to work next Tuesday as it is the last day at work so why not.

I have so many more pictures of me in costumes but as you can see with some of the pictures our scanner suffers from PMT so doesn't work all the time so i had to take pictures of pictures like a right old moron, lol. Some others are:

Mermaid.

School girl (little bit x rated as it is from the ann summers shop, lol.)

cowgirl. (non x rated, i was taking part in a world record when i was younger for the longest line dance)

I love dressing up so much i even dressed my dog up. See Mimi's page at the top.

The whole point in this post is, while i was on the look out for my new Christmas outfit i came across these cute little baby costumes, my child/children will hate me as all i will be doing is dressing them up and taking way too many pictures of them.

How super dupper awesome would it be to have 3 little babies in these three outfits AAAAWWWWWW. Momma like.

100th postaversary

This is my 100th post, yay, granted a lot of it is from challenge but its still 100. Here is the challenge for today,

Day 21 – Something you crave a lot.

Something i crave a lot, well lately anyway, is a burger. Preferably a Burger king XL bacon double cheese burger. Apart from my recent gorge i have been quite good with the diet but at work last night i was so hungry all i could think about it one of these burgers, and a plus point is Merry hill shopping centre is open till midnight up till Christmas so i could have got one when i finished work at 10 but i didn't i went home and had me a small pizza baguette. So here for your satisfaction is a picture of THE burger.

Gluttony!!!!

If you look in the dictionary under Gluttony you will see a picture of me. Here is why.....

Saturday my parents went our to my dads work christmas meal so at my house that night was just me, Dave, my brother Thomas and his girlfriend Emma, we played some awesome games, cranium and this monopoly knock off called chav which was so funny, well as we all know i am currently on the weight watchers diet to get my BMI down to 30 at the most so that i meet the criteria for IVF, well we are playing these games and i break out the haribo, then the cherry cola bottles, then the lolly pops, then the love hearts. As my parents were staying our the night and was not going to be cooking our sunday dinner, i know thats what i call child abuse i was gonna call the NSPCC, lol. So we decided to go out for a meal for lunch, my parents ended up coming back intime to come along with us, and so when we got there i thought, i will be good i have to be weighed in the morning, so i thought i would share a starter, turns out i still ended up with 5 chicken wings smothered in BBQ sauce. Then looking at the menu there i was looking at everything but this one thing kept calling me, i cant remember what they called it but you choose from half a roast chicken, half rack of ribs or a 10oz steak, plus it comes with chips, corn on the cob, half a grilled tomato and 2 big onion rings, mmmmmmmm just the thought of it is making me hungry, lol. Well i thought i really want it and i have been good the rest of the week so i had the half roast chicken with the half rack of ribs too, and i must say they were some of the yummiest ribs i have ever tasted. After that i started to feel guilty, i could almost feel my chins grow and the cankles stretching my boots, but i thought the damage is done you may as well go for the millionares shortbread sundae that has been calling you from the menu since you walked in, so yes i had all 3 courses and no i did not work out the points for it. I did feel quite bad for the rest of the day and this morning. It didnt turn out just as back as i thought it was i still managed to lose 0.5lbs and a loss is a loss.

Only need to lose about another 3lbs then i qualify, thats if they say i will be funded. There is still no news from them yet but i suppose i could go with no news is good news, right??????????

Day 18 – The meaning behind your blog name, Day 19 – Another picture of yourself and Day 20 – A photo of something that makes you happy.

Day 18 – The meaning behind your blog name.

The meaning for this name is this is about my journey to baby-land / motherhood


Day 19 – Another picture of yourself.

This is my new outfit for work next week, i love dressing up.

Day 20 – A photo of something that makes you happy.
 

I love to see a winter sunset, this one was taken while on my way to work last week, i had to catch it as we were driving down a hill, some days there were better views but you have to catch it just right before the sun dips below the hills.

Day 17 – 10 Things I Want To Do Before I Die

1. Go to Australia....Mate.

2. Be a mom.
3. Climb more mountains, and be able to see the view from the top.
4. Study forensics
5. Enter Mimi into crufts (may never happen but you never know)
6. I want to have posted over 2000 blog entries
7. I want to swim with the dolphins
8. I want to decorate my own house for Christmas, including the outside
9. Live completely debt free for at least a year (not including mobile phone contracts)
10. Perform on stage.

Day 15 – Something you don’t leave the house without. and Day 16 – What’s in your bag?

I thought i would do both of these together as i never leave house without a few things that are in my bag.

First i never leave the house without lip balm, at the moment it is a fanta orange flavour and it keeps your lips so lush i am gonna stock load it just in case.

Second, i never leave the house without my phone, its not only my phone anymore, it is where i keep track of my appointments and results and my little notes and questions to ask different people at different places.

I have just today emptied my bag out so in there now i have, tissues (both for my nose and for doggy poop), my purse, perfume, deodorant, mouthwash, face cream, phone, 3 lolly pops, and lip balm.

Day 14 – A TV show you’re currently addicted to.

This one would have to be misfits. I have never laughed so much than when i watch this. If you haven't seen it or missed the first season, it is about this group of young people on community service and then they all realise they have special powers, they get into all kinds of trouble. Its definitely one to watch.

good idea or bad????

A few weeks ago me and the MR were having a conversation about names for our future children, i know i have always wanted a few names but during out journey i have been thinking maybe i should pick a name that has a little more meaning to out situation, and at the same time we both said a great name for a little girl would be Ivy, i do love the name but do you think it is a little bit too much like IVF????? I looked up the meaning of the name and the Hebrew meaning of Ivy is gods gift which is quite fitting really. But again will people think it is not fair to call a child this???? Then i thought about second name and i thought of Faith which is self explanatory, the faith we have in each other, the faith we have in the treatment and the faith we have in the lord to guide us through this time and to hold us when we can no longer go on.

A while ago I asked the MR what boys name he likes and he said Marek, i had never heard this before but he wouldn't tell me where the name came from, until the one day he said the name was from one of the cartoons he watches lol, i thought this was quite funny bit then i thought about it and i have to admit it is different, and today i saw one of my friends on facebook also has a friend called Marek and i am actually considering it, the only thing is when i looked up the meaning it is named after Mars the god of war, do i really want a child that is named after the god of war?????? And for middle name i like Harry but again this name has a few meanings, commander, army ruler and ruler of the household, i think i need to rethink this one. Well that is all for now.

Day 13 – Your favorite musician and why?
 
My favourite musician changes quite often but at the moment my favourite is Demi Levato she is awesome, her songs are so real and they are so easy to relate to.
 

Day 11 – What’s in your makeup bag?

well as of this morning my make-up bag is mostly empty as i had to tip it all out to find what i needed so i will just run through a list of what is in there maybe with some pictures if i can find them on google.
First we have my Bourjois bio detox organic foundation, this brand is one of the only ones that goes pale enough for me and it isn't to thick.

Then we have Lancome matte finish powder.

Then we have Rimmel max mascara, i get different mascara every time as i am yet to find one that is perfect this one is good but a little bit clumpy sometimes.

I have an eye liner that i have no idea what brand it is but this is the closest picture i could find, it has a bud on the end for application and there is a lid that goes with it that has a hidden sharpener in it.

Then there is clarins 3 in one blush, and tint, it can be used on cheeks lips and even eyes, it is awesome.

I have a few different of these Barry M dazzle dusts, in blue, silver and pail pinks. Not that i know where all of them are, lol.

I have a few of these too, they are from Avon, and i have the black and grey, a pink and purple and i think a blue one.

Obviously i have to have a whole group of make-up brushes from the Sporty range.

And last but definitely not the least important is the good old Johnson's baby lotion. I love the smell and how soft it leaves your skin, i cant wait till i have a baby so that my house can smell of this all the time.

Day 10 – A photo of our favorite place to eat.

This one is a little bit of a fail as i don't have a picture or can i find a picture of it but my favourite place to eat (or take home and eat) is Top1 pizza, their pizza is the best pizza in the world, i love pizza hut and domino's but this is so much better, they do stuffed crust but not just with cheese they do it with pepperoni in the crust too, it really is awesome.

Day 9 – A photo of the item you last purchased.

I went shopping today as a new Iceland has opened so we decided to stock up for Christmas, then we went to aldi as they had a chidurky, dickrky, turducken or what ever they are called these days lol well a 3 bird roast for Christmas dinner so we went there and i found the cutest pair of wellies i just had to get them so here they are.

Arnt they just the cutest things ever??????
Here is a picture i took today, Mimi has been a little off her food with a gurgling belly yesterday so i thought she was sick but she seems to have all her energy and has eaten her breakfast today so i let her out in the garden again in the snow and this picture is just so cute.

That was supposed to be my workout trampoline, but the dog loves it so we left it out for her.
