I have had a very lazy morning. Wait, to begin with, last night, I watched for the first time, all the way through; "Moonstruck." Oh my goodness, I can't believe what I've been missing for the past twenty four years. It's warm, funny, touching, romantic, and no wonder Cher won the Oscar. I loved it and yes, I need to find it on DVD, it's a keeper.
So, after being totally awestruck by Moonstruck, it was now 9pm. I was tired and with nothing good on TV, I decided to take myself off to bed, maybe to read. I can't remember the last time I read in bed. I did ponder on a scale of 1 - 10, how pathetic it was to go to bed at 9pm on a Saturday night but only for a minute, with no alternative... bed easily won. I fell straight to sleep and fast. I woke this morning after a very weird dream, and pondered, from my nest, that maybe I shouldn't run this morning. Can't remember the last time I decided I was going to give it a miss and with no injury in sight, well, not one to stop me running anyway.
Instead, I had a lazy morning up until I left for here. I sewed a button onto my teal jacket that's been hanging by a thread for two weeks, (incidentally, did someone make the eyes of needles smaller since the last time I sewed on a button?) Ironed my top, it's made of that perma-crinkled cotton but there are limits darling, I couldn't leave home looking like I'd slept in it, could I?
I think you'd love the outfit. Despite the jeans and the boots, I confess to looking quite feminine today, even if I do say so myself, and most Nina-esque, speaking of which, did you watch the finale of Offspring yet? I finally got to wear the new scarf I bought the last time I was down south. I've been itching to wear it since I brought it home but it didn't go with any of the tops I've been wearing. Anyway, with a chill in the air, I have found a top that goes with the scarf, just as we head into Autumn. The top is beige for want of a better description, lets call it pale gold, it's kind of smocky with lace, capped sleeves and a pin tucked front which makes my chest look enormous. Well, slight exaggeration, not enormous exactly, as you can imagine, but still, bigger some how, which was not the look I was going for. Anyway, add to that; Pandora, a teal and pink bracelet I haven't worn for around 8 years that I stumbled upon, a Swarovski bracelet, wavy hair and teal jacket, and there you go.
I'm suddenly conscious that the end of the year is zooming towards me at break neck speed and yes, I realise that my never ending de-cluttering has been going on now, well... for years but I really need to get my skates on. Everything seems to be annoying me at home and the utopia vision I have in my head, of living in a clutter and excess free home, feels like it needs to become reality, pronto, and not just a fantasy. Could it really happen before the end of the year? Judging by the last 8 years I would hazard a guess at no, but I could fling a heck of a load of stuff between now and the start of 2012. Just how futuristic does that sound? And just so you know... futuristic is only 15 weeks away chick.
