Bad, bad, BAD E.!!

Bad BAD cravings...! by MsLynx on Polyvore.com

I've done really well over the last few months and lost a good deal of excess weight. *proud of myself!* The last few days, feeling a bit off, bored and slightly pissed off (at just random stuff) I've had these mad cravings I thought I'd manage to put behind me... Craving brownies, ice cream and fried stuff just p:s me off even more because I'm NOT going to undo the things I've done right just because I'm bored...!?! :[

Now being totally hooked on polyvore (link to my page!) and realising that there's TONS of food item too I decided to make a set of all the things I've been craving...I think I only managed to fit fraction of it...! ;) It didn't take away my cravings but distracted me enough to not go raiding our cupboards for crumbs of badness...! *lol*

Feeling off...

I've been feeling a bit off for the last few days... Yesterday my patience level was at an all time low, felt totally drained. :( Not great when kiddies what me to see this or that and read that story and this... *sigh*

Our "tgif" we had at my big sisters and it was good catching up (mum and little sis was there too). Kiddies had missed their cousins and were thrilled when told we were going to Partille after dagis. :D

I'm feeling slightly better today, i've just had a shower and I'm planning to do a bit of my maths homework before dinner. I hope that get me going again... :)

Will try and catch you up with my school stuff and such at a later date!
Be good!

-20.6C !?!

OMG! I know this winter is the coldest one we've had for at least the last...25 (?) years... and it keeps surprising me with is repeated "peaks" of coldness...but...come on...!! This morning when I got up I really, truly, honestly did NOT believe my eyes! -20.6C !!??!!? :O

I thought we'd hit the "all time high" (at least for this region of the country) when it was -17.5C at new years...but this is...COLD!! :O :O I'm glad I had no business outside this morning! :)

Soon enough we got some cloud cover so the temperature is now at the more..."humane" (?) :D -13C. *lol* I'm not geared up for this kind of cold...! I mean...when we went to Finland for Christmas's as kids it was even colder... once -32C (if I remember correctly) but we knew it was going to be COLD so we had the proper winter gear for it...

The kids have got their proper winter overalls and boots, but me...? or Stephen? Nope! :/ I've got the boots and gloves and a fairly good coat but I don't even own a pair of long johns (Stephen does!). To have comfortably "survived" this winter one would have needed a good set of thermal underwear and a fantastic "ski-wear" set...I'm faaaar faaaaaaar from comfortable in this weather! *lol*

But I do have to say...it is beautiful outside...! :) I much, much more prefer this to the grey slushy winters of recent... :) it's crisp, fresh and it glistens in the sunlight (something we've had plenty of this winter!). :) ...it just takes some getting used to... ;)

Early bird catches all the worms...?

Up early, stressed about getting to school on time... Get Stephen to drive 'cause we missed our bus. We leave the little ones at nursery and he drives me in to town. When I get here, school that is, I realize I'm an hour early! *sigh!* Oops! :/

Called nursery and apologized but she mostly thought it was a shame that we'd been stressed for nothing. :) My morning class on Thurday has been cancelled so that'll be our Monday... ;)

I do enjoy studying but not that much that I like just sitting around here waiting for time to pass... :)

Early bird! by MsLynx on Polyvore.com

All is good.

Never enough time...! All is well, school is good. I'm finding algebra and equations soothing... *lol*

I think I'll drop my creative writing class...even if it is a favourite... :/ I think I'll be able to do that kind of course in the future too...and then give it the time it deserves. I really don't want to feel I'm just floating along... I want to do well, learn and develop my writing skills and...at the moment I don't feel I'm giving it enough time...but we'll see...

Our little miss Erin had her very first appointment to the hairdresser's today! :D I've been trimming it a bit but now it's gotten too long and as she's refusing to have her hair up I decided it was time for a proper chop! :) I've been "brain washing" her about the great fun of getting your hair cut and explaining the whole process etc. and so on... *lol* She can be quite a grumpy miss at times (especially when it comes to her hair!) so I was half-expecting us to leave before she'd even gotten up in the chair... She did SO well!! :D *proud mommy!* Even if the hairdresser really wasn't overly great considering it was Erin's very, very first visit there...oh well... my girly was great! :D I didn't think it was possible but she's even cuter than before!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Erin's new 'do' - Jan. 25th 2010

The pink on the top of her head is a little star

that was sprayed on for "good behaviour". ;)

Time time time...!

How can I make it stop...for just a little moment...?? :/

January is almost over before it even begun! :O School's back on, I like ALL my classes (yes! even maths! ;)) and I've really got too many and should really drop one...but which one!? So, I'm not... :D I'm giving it a go and if it does get too heavy of a load then I will let one of them go...but it'll probably have to be about the teacher rather than the subject 'cause I really enjoy them all so far! :) Still haven't been to my first philosophy class yet (that's tomorrow!) ...we'll see, I doubt that it'll be any different from the others... ;) Just my luck! ;) ;) ;)

Oh...and on top of not having any time I've gotten totally addicted to polyvore!! I'm not even really sure what it is exactly, and I can't remember how I got into it... I think it's this community/blog-place for teenybopper Taylor Swift-addicted "fashionista's" to looks for trends and trash each other but for me it's become this place to de-stress... I love the super easy cut/paste way of creating these 'mindless' "sets" (as they are called) and I've gotten severly stuck some evenings looking for The Right Pair of earrings or whatever... I do like fashion and beautiful pictures (and people!) and I looove cute quotes (and there's pleeenty of them on Polyvore!) sooo...I sit, and "create" and even more time flies by... *shaking my head at myself* Sillyness!

Sooo...what else...? I'm freaking freezing tonight...! Double layers on, even - especially! inside. Our...is it called pellets in English too...?? Hmmm...well...the burner (?) to the pellets (which heat our house) is not working and it's (thankfully only!) -3C outside which is cold enough to make the house fairly chilly... Stephen can normally get the "thing" to work but no such luck tonight. Of course (!!) we figured out the Thing wasn't working properly too late so the shop's not open and there's no help to be gotten until tomorrow morning.

Thankfully we do have the fire place and the fan to give us some heat but it will (again thankfully!? ;)) focus the heat in to the living room and our bedroom. We'll all be in our bed tonight me thinks! :) ...we could be worse off...and might possibly be depending on how expensive it'll be to fix...but at present it's only a bit enjoying and a little bit cosy. ;) I doubt that my answer will be the same in the morning...! :)

Now I'm going to make sure we've got plenty of cosy clothes to put on in the morning, try and wash my make up off with freezing cold water and get ready for bed...
