Decisions, decisions.

Really enjoyed "Offspring,"  it just kept getting funnier and funnier and I even ended up going to bed later than planned on Tuesday night as I couldn't wait to find out what happened!  As discussed, if you get to see the finale before I do, then you will have to tell me all in great detail so you had better make copious notes my friend.  Don't you love how they dress "Nina"?  I think that's quite a do-able look!

Well, I did it, I went for the chop yesterday afternoon.  Hope to goodness you approve of those pics I sent you because that's what I have.  I have an Olivia Palermo bob.  It sits slightly below my collar bone with one long layer in the back.  It is oh so short for me but I was ready for a change.  Still getting used to seeing it in the mirror but it's really easy to manage.  It took me all of five minutes this morning, I twisted it up for food shopping and the drive here, took out the clip in the car park and hey presto, I have a curly/wavy bob.

You know how much I love Grey's Anatomy, so when I heard they were planning a "musical event," I thought nooooooo, big mistake, it'll be awful.  Well, just how wrong was I?  I watched it on Thursday night and it was brilliant, I have such little faith. 

The writers didn't just take a normal episode and throw in songs like some horrible, miss-matched patchwork quilt, the whole thing was a carefully crafted masterpiece.  It began with one of the doctors being involved in an accident and suffering a brain injury.  Arriving at the hospital, they drifted in and out of consciousness and as attending doctors spoke to and over them, in the wounded brain, it came out in song.  What a brilliant idea.  Our brains play tricks on us at the best of times so what a fantastic idea and totally believable. 

The producers thankfully used contemporary songs rather than originals which helped me as a viewer just sink into everything, everything was the same but different for this one time.  They used some of my favourite songs including Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" which is synonymous with Grey's.  You have no idea what you're missing madam ;)  How did it go?  Well, considering they are all fantastic actors, it's quite frankly disgusting that they can all additionally sing so well.  Sara Ramirez stole the show, closely followed by Chandra Wilson, the songs were sung just beautifully. 

Work has been as dull as dish water this week, thank heavens there were only three days of it.  I'm in limbo land until they can arrange a training course to refresh me of my previous role of almost two years ago, so, until that time, I've been busying myself with the tasks that are non-essential and could wait until a rainy day, well, it's been rainy the back end of this week but it didn't make it any less boring.  I felt quite lazy but considering the past two years, I figured I should embrace the boredom, plus... I know it won't last long, pretty soon the pressure of targets will be back and floating above my head.

Wearing today; Jo Malone, Pandora, Swarovski, cocktail ring, blue jeans, Oasis smock top and boots.

I think we had thunder last night, not entirely sure, I could have been dreaming.  Weather has really changed in the last few days, we've had dark grey clouds, high winds and light rain, such a let down after the last couple of weeks of sunshine.  I think we all excitedly and stupidly thought summer had arrived.

After a good few weeks of deliberations, soul searching, having numerous conversations with myself in my head, (am I the only one that does that?)  Not to mention speaking to you.  I had finally convinced myself that further education was to be my next adventure.  While there is nothing wrong or negative about not having a degree, (my boss doesn't have a degree and she's brilliant!)  I always felt like I had more to give in the education department, I should have given more, pushed myself more and anything I would aspire to do career wise, decries that I have a degree.  I left school at 16 years of age because I thought it was my duty to start earning a wage and bringing it home, never did it occur to me that I should have even considered further education.  However, that was then and this is now.  Getting a degree will tick a box that only exists in my head and will hopefully lead to a new and gratifying change of career.  I have even convinced a friend at work to look into this route.  The more we discussed it, the more it seemed like a no-brainer.  There is a little sidebar to this story but I'm unable to tell you about it here for fear of liable so I'll mail you.

So, after weeks of discussions in my head, pros and cons lists, Internet research, sleeping on it, tearing my hair out... I had finally decided that I was going to enrol and get myself a degree.  I contacted NHS Careers to double check that the degree I was interested in would be the correct one for the line of work I was interested in, I didn't want someone to tell me after two years; "you're doing the wrong one love."  NHS

The healthy eating has gone well this week.  I'm going to allow myself one day per week to go off the rails and that one day is today!  I've just had a shortbread with my filter and it was scrummy.  Haven't jogged for a week so just did 30 minutes this morning plus Tracy Anderson arms.  I've done TA butt and thighs and Abs most nights this week so not too bad.

Going home to blitz kitchen.  I know I keep saying this but I'm positive that I have kitchen gremlins whose purpose in life is to make mess, they creep out at night and party until my alarm goes off, at which point they beat a hasty retreat.

Driving me insane that I'm not in your vicinity right now.  Hope you're having a restful weekend.  Lots of things I need to google for you so be prepared and check your emails.  Love you x
