DIY...

I can't describe how glad I am for it being Friday night!! I hate that I have wished away this week but I have felt so crappy that I just wanted to have Friday night come soon and now it has! Yey! Since I've had a nasty headache hanging around for 4 days... yes 4 days... I planned in a night all to myself!

On the way home I stopped off at shops for Sprite for my Raspberry Vodka (Oh yea!!) and chocolate. I've indulged in a lovely bubble bath and face mask. Now it's time for nails - I may even paint my toenails which I never do unless it's summer. It's a period break on the hockey so I'm settling down for more live hockey (Thank you HDMI cable xoxo), alcohol and chocolate. Completely DIY pamper but oh so needed! I feel like I'm literally carrying all my work on my back but hopefully after a very selfish and indulgent night of doing nothing I will feel better.

My pamper kit...Can't recommend Molton Brown bubble bath enough.

Ultimate Fashion Statement...

I blogged the other day about my experience of what I liked to call 'Peacocking'. I decided to gain some other opinions on the subject and posted on 20sb about it. It was there I conversed with the rather witty El Grande. Our discussion progressed from 'What if you saw someone with an actual peacock on his head,' to as a woman, 'Wearing lynx cats'. Yes, I'm well aware that it all sounds a bit of a departure from the original topic, maybe it was a had to be there moment but it resulted in something quite spectacular.

A new outfit for going out on the pull:

"Bow chicka-bow-wow. Rawwl..".El Grande.

Note: this is a Couture outfit so would probably be slightly scaled down for the high street.

I for one am sourcing a peacock and lynx cats at the moment...Bye bye single life!!!

Thanks to El Grande for the brilliant fashion designing skills... if the Lucha Libre Life life doesn't work out you will always have fashion!

That Thursday feeling...

I know you're all sitting thinking... ah that popular saying, 'That Thursday feeling...'. I joke, you're probably wondering what on earth I'm on about. This however, seems to be something which is happening every week. Since going back to work after Christmas, my weeks just seem to go so slow!! Whenever it hits Thursday, it feels like Friday. Why? Why? Why? 

I started getting a bad tension headache about 11 today and it just continued ALL day! All I wanted to do was leave school and head out for a massage!! Unfortunately I think leaving my kids alone in the classroom all day is kinda frowned upon?! So I just put up with it and spent my lunch break rubbing my shoulders and trying to feel better. When the kids left, I sat and marked 120 books!!!!! It was tick, tick, stamp, tick and comment. I felt like I had developed RSI after them all. I then decided I was going to go home... As I was walking out I got hit by the Thursday feeling again!! I had this overwhelming feeling of tiredness and thought it was Friday. Not a happy bunny at all when a split second later I realised "Aw man it's Thursday!"

So with that I trundled home, gorged on chocolate and was very British with my cup of tea. How do I feel now? Tired, worn out, headachey and tight in my neck. I just want to be stretched out completely! It's not helping that I have my injured knee stopping me from doing any exercise so no yoga, dancing or running. That means I feel like this tight knot of stressful energy now. 

Now I just have to work hard, through the tiredness and hope that I can meet my weekly Project: Do Me goal of finishing work before 9 to relax. 

Hope everyone is getting on well with their Project: Do Me list. Follow link below to find out what it is all about.

One day left till the weekend guys...keep going :-)

You were more important than you realise..

I was reading another blog today and the title of my blog is the sentence which caught my eye. The idea that someone doesn't realise how they have affected your life is such a strange concept. How can only one person feel something? Now I'm not exclusively relating this to romantic relationships but in general that is what this usually applies to. If you think back across your life, I bet a face will come to you in the way that others don't.

Out of all the millions of people in the world, I believe that there are some which we are destined to meet, whether it be online, in person and through a letter gone astray. Almost fate like. These people may be in your life for an hour, a week, a year or forever. What is important about these people which others don't have is the complete lack of understanding how they have affected you.

These people are of so much importance to you, they affect the decisions you make, they way you behave, the way you dress etc and they have no clue. How? I can never comprehend how someone can have such a life altering effect on someones life and not know. What would happen if they did? Would this person all of a sudden become less important? Is it the fact that they don't know keeping them on a pedestal?

If you had the chance to be honest and tell them every little thing which made them important...would you?

Or would you simply utter:

"I hope you remember me. Because you were more important than you realise."

I know what I would do...

Why?

I was thinking about relationships and the word love today. Strangely this came about after reading an extract from a book called 'The Twits' by Roald Dahl with my class today. If you've never read the book (and you should), the two main characters are married, mean and play tricks on each. They are quite revolting people all in all. One child then asked me:

" Miss... Why did they get married if they don't like each other?"

I just looked at him and went to say something and just stood with my mouth slightly agape. I had no answer to him. So I have to say I did the child like thing of shrugging my shoulders and saying, " I don't know." A cop out, I know.. I couldn't even muster a discussion as I was thinking in my head about all the couples I've known or came across where I have thought a similar thing. I think we have all seen those couples where they seem to hate each other so much but are still together after years. What keeps them together? Was there ever an attraction? Was it convenience? Is it out of hope that it will get better? We have all asked those questions of others and I always hope that I will never have to ask that question of myself.

I believe that cheating is one of the worst thing you could do to someone and I think that it stems from couples where there is something missing or indeed something there like dislike. Therefore I've always believed that if I were to be in that situation then I would be strong enough to remove myself from the situation. Everyone wants love and everyone wants to have something so special that everyone wants it. So all I can hope is that I find that special bond in the future and will always have the strength and courage to search for that and not feel like I should cave to the pressures of being expected to be with someone and settle down. 

True love ways...

I have blogged before about being called out as 'being in love'. I don't think that I was as I read a quote the other day which hit me quite hard but made me feel quite happy and optimistic for the near future:

“It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn't love you were in" 

Maybe the answer to the question I was asked today, and that which we ask about many, could simply just be- They were never in love.
