Summer Hols...

I'm not gonna lie to y'all I'm a little pissed. While everyone is off on their holidays or even just talking about the amazing places they are gonna go; Ayia Napa, Egypt, Majorca & America I'm looking at you!; I'm stuck in England. And let me tell ya, what with the forever changing, confusing weather; sun one day, serious rain the next; and always missing the sunny days while I'm at work. Plus when it is sunny on my day off and having no-one to appreciate the weather with, I'm seriously bummed out. The only thing that's cheering me up right now is the promise of payday on Friday! Finally. I could really do with some money. Plus I finally made supervisor at work, and sure its only for a couple of months but hey experience right? Here's what I'm thinking, come payday I need some serious treats. Whenever I  can't splash cash on myself though I always end up buying D some stuff that he really doesn't need. I can't help it! I think its a mixture of a) I just cannot hold onto money & b) i like to spoil him! 

Seriously though, I have a problem. Does anyone else do this? Get in touch, I'd love to hear what stuff y'all spend (or should that be waste) your paycheck on!

Noteworthy Sounds..

Tuesday 19. June.


Here's a little secret about me...I love musicals and musical TV shows. 
Chicago. Hairspray. Beauty & The Beast. Calamity Jane.The Little Mermaid. Enchanted. Grease. The Lion King. Glee. Smash.


I like them all. Its not that I want to be preforming on them, although lets be honest we all dream of it sometimes. To be up on stage or on TV singing a happy little song about being 'Under The Sea' or a song about murder; He Had It Coming or even just a popular song that we love; Firework. Since here in England, Glee has just ended, right now I'm all about the latest US musical export; SMASH; the songs, the story, the actors are all awesome. What I love about it is it combines my love for a guilty musical pleasure with drama and a brilliant story of Marilyn. As in Monroe. The musical is telling the story of Marilyn Monroe while the show is about two aspiring stars, including Katherine McPhee if you don't know who this is...look her up. This show is a serious guilty pleasure and I love it! Watch the show and tell me what you think of it! Katherine McPhee's version of Florence & The Machine's Shake It Off, is just wonderful. 



Tell me your thoughts on SMASH or any of the other musicals/shows mentioned. Also tell me your favourite, especially if I didn't mention it. I love being introduced to new musicals!

family...

Monday, June, 18. 


Hey y'all, 
I'm sorry its been so long. I really need to get better at this blog thing don't I. 


Whats been happening with me? Well firstly I had my birthday and obviously I was busy for most of may. This month I've had visitors staying with us from Jacksonville, Florida. Although they spent the whole sick while they were here, it was lovely to catch up and see them. Having them here meant we spent a lot of time talking about family. It got me thinking that really family is a strange thing. There's people in your family that you never even see. Its funny how you can go through your whole life not even knowing people in your own family. Sometimes it doesn't matter, but what if it does? 


As an adult you get to make your own decisions about who you chose to see and who you don't. But as a child you do what your parents tell you. Mostly its for the best. Sometimes you wonder if you should be allowed to see people they tell you, you don't want to see. As a kid I certainly thought I knew best and that I knew exactly what I wanted, but I have to tell ya. I'm glad my parents brought me up the way that they did and protected me as fiercely as they did. 


Thanks to them I am a strong young woman, who knows what she wants and also how to get it. I fight for those I love and I will always trust my instincts. I thank them for bringing me up this way and for protecting me from people and things that I didn't need in my life.
