Friday Miscellanea
So, today was perhaps my last ever “Sexy Friday” – how upsetting! For new readers “Sexy Friday” was the term one of my RS teachers gave to my rather amazing Friday timetable – I don’t have any classes after 11:50 (and that includes break time!).
.
In September I was ready (and perhaps did!) to wish this year away – I was filled with a mentality that this year was just one that had to be survived and endured. But I have loved it! I have so many memories I hope never to forget. I wish I could go back and relive countless Wednesday afternoons, Prize Day and the last day before the Christmas holidays – they all stand out in my head as times where I’ve just thought, while watching my friends, “how could this get better?”. I’m going to miss so many of my teachers and so many of my friends from school that have made it worth remembering! (By the way, those friends need not worry – I’ll be sure to keep in touch! Sorry if you thought you'd escape!)
.
Well, not one to waste such a lovely day and a last opportunity for enjoying and fully using a Sexy Friday I got to work. I came home (yeah, so I went to the church office and enjoyed an ice cream first – a girl’s gotta eat!) and changed and stripped my bed. I put those and my school shirts (white) into the washing machine. I added some baking powder to the wash and it really made things whiter! Meanwhile I tidied my room. When tidying my room I unearthed several things not seen in a while – my ECDL certificate and, to my great surprise, the carpet! Clearly this is why I stop tidying my room: it means you’ve a carpet to hoover!
.
Meanwhile, the wash had finished and I put it out on the washing line to dry and put another load of washing in. I hoovered my room and dusted. I also washed the windows! By this stage (yeah… I sat down and watched Friends at some point) the bedclothes were virtually dry and after a quick ten minute stay in the tumble drier I went and ironed them and put them on my bed. I also put out the second wash I put on, put in a third wash and put it out too. The second wash had jeans in it so they aren’t dry and the third wash really isn’t dry! Tomorrow is another day…
.
I also made a cheesecake! It looks good. I didn’t get time to tidy the den but that can be done tomorrow. I feel like a bit of a domestic goddess! It feels really good to know exactly how productive I’ve been – and I’m quickly typing this so I can get to bed and enjoy, what is perhaps one of the best feelings in the world, freshly laundered bedclothes!
.
Today I have been also enjoying a really great CD. It’s called “Just Great Songs” (the one with “How to Save a Life” by The Fray as the first track on the first CD – there are two CDs with the same title) and it really lives up to its name! I often find with compliation CDs that I’m constantly flicking through tracks but not with this one! The only annoying thing is that Windows Media Player doesn’t recognise the song titles – and displays what I assume are the track names of the other CD by the same name.
.
Definitely worth the £15 for me and if great music is your thing I really recommend it! The only song it’s missing is my favourite at the moment – “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles (on their Love album) – if anyone has this CD I’d love to borrow it!
.
In other music news I’ve changed my myspace song as per the request. Some people… *rolls eyes* (Love you honey!). Also, after over a week of few emails (except spam – I have received, in 30 days, 312 spam emails!) I have three sitting “unread” in my inbox – “unread” because, although I have read them, it’s the only way I remember to reply to them! I will get to them, sometime, probably this weekend some time.
.
Anyway, one last thing before I dive off to bed. I’ve decided to do a thing called “Friday’s Feast” – a series of questions for me to answer. Here it goes…
.
Appetizer
Name something you would not want to own.
I would not want to own… Hmm… Let’s think… A dialysis machine – ie anything to do with health kind scares me and the idea of being on dialysis for years does not ever appeal! Is there anything to can do specifically to look after your kidneys?
.
Soup
Describe your hair (texture, color, length, etc.).
My hair… is thick and curly/wavy if it dries completely on its own. It is getting longer and sits quite comfortably on my shoulders – it would be longer if it was straightened. As for colour (learn to spell America!) it is brown – but some lighter bits too.
.
Salad
Finish this sentence: I’ll never forget ___________.
There are lots of things I never ever want to forget. I’ll never forget my friends from these years – I couldn’t! Even if I’m a bit pants at keeping in touch know I’ll probably be remembering you when I hear the randomest things that link with you – someone saying they need to pee, pineapples, penguins, maths formulae, etc etc (and you all know which ones apply to you!).
.
Main Course
Which famous person would you like to be for one day? Why?
Hahaha! When I read this I thought “gosh, who?” and then the answer struck very clearly! I would be George Bush. Why? Think of all the things I could do and change…
.
Dessert
Write one sentence about yourself that includes one thing that is true and another thing that is not.
I think I’ll end up being a housewife/stay-at-home-mum at the very least part time for several years in the future, if the whole marriage and kids thing happens, and the idea of being a housewife/stay-at-home-mum scares me. (Now, it’s your turn to guess which one is true and which is false!)
