1)Today I took myself off for some sushi and shopping. I desperately needed to buy hair colour, so I stocked up on my usual 6.66 Red and I grabbed a beautiful violet colour to mix through it, so hopefully it will come up a beautiful cherry colour. I had everything out to do it and then realised I was out of rubber gloves, so now I figure I’ll grab some tomorrow morning and do it then. I will then photobomb you with hair spam.

2)You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Sometimes I have to do things I don’t want to do to preserve my own sanity. I’m sorry if that hurts you, but I deserve more effort than you’re willing to give.

3)My younger cousin just IM’d me to ask if I’d ever seen La Bamba. I confessed that as a young girl, I had a huge poster of Lou Diamond Phillips on my wall because I just loved that movie so much. Oh god, the washing line scene! I’m getting teary just thinking about it.

4)Scratchy cat now has pink soft paws. We’re now able to snuggle without incident. This pleases me greatly.

5)I’m now perched in a purple leopard PJ’s and watching The Goonies. This movie makes me super happy and nostalgic.

I had to go to the doctors today and get some pain killers for my back, because I couldn’t hold out for my follow up appointment after my scans next Thursday. I’ve got another CT to figure out what’s going on with my ‘lower lumbar region’ because at the moment it’s causing all kinds of ridiculous pain. It’s all stems from when I fainted and crashed my fat ass flat onto the floorboards because I passed out during a gory scene in a relatively inoffensive film. Fuck you James Franco and you’re arm slashing, rock climbing adventures!

Anyway, I’m now a bit tired and a bit spacey so I’m going to make a toasted cheese sandwich and curl up with the cat while I ponder the strange events of the past few days.

So it turns out that it was well worth getting out of the blanket to head to L’s for dinner. So spoilt! Baked potatoes done in the outside fire, sacrilicious bacon, garlic butter, cheese, chicken and a million other toppings on offer! Oh man, so incredibly good!

Plus, lots of love from Henry (below) and Ruby Dog (not pictured) which I would love to have captured better photos of, but it was so dark and cold out that I lost my pet photography mojo. Plus, there was bacon inside so I was distracted.

I’m way too cold to stay up and recount what a good night so you’ll have to trust me on that one.
I’m off to the land of nod.
Sweet dreams til sunbeams find you!

Does He Love You? by Rilo Kiley

I’m sitting at my desk in PJ’s, slippers and a enormousness Leopard print blanket I bought to battle the cold. The urge to cut a hole in the middle of the blanket and wear it as a poncho is overwhelming, but I suspect it would be counter productive to keeping me warm at night. I’d hoped to sleep in this morning, but the cat decided to perch on my chest and overheat me so I begrudgingly got out of bed. Now I’m wishing I hadn’t ever left the comfort of the doona because it’s so chilly and miserable out.

I plan on remaining snug as a bug all day. If I didn’t have to go out tonight, I would never leave this blanket.  L invited my folks to join us for dinner tonight at his because he wants to show them what’s possible for their kitchen renovation. He did his recently and it looks amazing so he’s keen to get my dad motivated to do their own so he can come and ‘play plasters’ with my old man. While they talk reno’s, I’m going to snap some photos of Ruby and Henry, L’s adorable Boxer Dogs. L has a huge framed photo of a picture I took of Ruby hanging up in his lounge, so I want to take one of Henry in a similar pose so he can have them both up on the wall. I might see what it will cost to get one printed. It’s the least I can do for all the amazing hard work he put into helping me with my bedroom makeover.

that’s me, keeping my feet warm.

Anyways, I’m gonna go and toast in front of the heater and have a cup of tea.
Hope you’re snuggled and warm wherever you may be.
