I am baking.

What an interesting update...

( The List... )

Have you read more than six of these books? The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here. Instructions: Copy this into your NOTES. Bold those books you've read in their entirety. Italicize the ones you started but didn't finish or read only an excerpt.
 

I really must start using this again...

I AM GOING TO NEW YORK NEXT YEAR!!!

Ewan's sister is getting married in Memphis in July next year (her fiance lives there and she will be moving over in April). We had planned on going over for two weeks, hiring a car and driving to Nashville. It's not a destination either of us would have chosen had we been given the choice of anywhere in the states, but there's no point in spending that much money on flights if you don't make a holiday out of the situation! However, we've been talking/researching and have realised that for only about £200 more we can fly home via New York and have 5 days there, instead of going to Nashville... And we'd be in friggin' New Yorlk for 4th July! (Okay so that would be ironic of us to celebrate it considering it's our country that the day celebrates gaining independence from, but still! It will be ace!)

We're booking flights on Thursday...

And we're totally going to see the Spiderman musical on Broadway. Wheeeeeeeeeeee!


(I am super excited but a part of me is terrified of the cost of the whole trip. However, it's a situation we want to make the most of. If Rhona hadn't been getting married we had planned on holidaying to the West Coast of Scotland next year - that's a stark contrast to NYC in both destination and price - ESPECIALLY price! Neither me nor Ewan have managed to find work relating to our degrees yet so we're each working about 25-30 hours a week in shops. It's shit, but hopefully before 2011 we'll both have - or at least one of us will have - a proper job.)

Anyway... NEW YORK!

This is a day late, but pffft.

Today [yesterday] I had a lovely cup of tea with my friend Jenny in an amazing Aberdeen café called Books and Beans :)



They sell second hand books and have the most amazing cakes in the world! Lovely atmosphere and lovely prices, haha! :)

I just wrote a MASSIVELY LONG post about my life and LJ has decided to only post the first quarter of it. Fuuuuuucksake.

I need to go to bed now, but tomorrow, Florida, graduation, new flatmates, and a meme.

cheerio for now!

*edit* This was a massively long post until LJ decided you were only entitled to a quarter of it. So, here's part 1 of my life at the moment...


So the last time I looked at LJ, let alone posted, was about 4 months ago. So what's up in everyone's life? Apparently the Friends page onl lets you read about 45 posts backwards now, pfft.

My life is somewhere between amazing and stressful at the moment, but I'm stupendously happy.
 

Let's see...

Since March, I have been on a diet. I've lost nearly 2 stone (21lb last time I checked but it could be more!) I've gone from a 20-22 to a 16-18 (Americans, a UK size 16 is a US 14 I think). I know that's still pretty big, but I'm so proud of myself :) And it's a noticable difference. I feel healthier, looks sooo much better and actually feel comfortable about myself now!

SO ANNOYED THAT THE REST OF THIS POST GOT CUT OFF! *shakes fist*( Pictures :) )
