Sleep Deprivation

Apologies for my absence yesterday.  My shifts got changed around, which meant I was working ten days on the trot.  Due to my recent bout of insomnia, I was starting to fall asleep on my feet!  All work & no play makes Porritt (that's me by the way) both albino & a lil stir craZy!

However, today is finally my day off!  Wooop!  I finished work at 4pm yesterday, came home, ate my dinner & then fell asleep!  It was like five in the afternoon.  I woke up after eleven, when the sunshine had been replaced with darkness, leading me to feel a little disorientated.  I made myself a HUGE bowl of pasta & then fell back asleep.  I finally woke up at eleven this morning.  I think I can definitely say I have caught up on all my sleep now!  [phew]

I was going to walk over to the Turner Gallery, but in the end I honestly couldn't be bothered, so I popped to my yocal supermarche & bought the July issue of Vogue & a bar of Green & Blacks instead.  It seemed like a lot less effort for possibly a lot more fun?

I have to say, I'm not rating Vanessa Paradis on the cover.  I have a thing against her, despite her French connections.  I think it stems from that one time I had a rather realistic dream about Johnny Depp, after which I became incredibly obsessed with him.  This period has now passed I am pleased to inform you.

So, I am equipped with my copy of Vogue, a few rays of sunshine & a spot in the garden (broadband stretching beyond the brick walls, I like it!).  My new patch is next to the veggie garden.  My half ass attempt at growing my own is actually paying off!  I have my own mini crop of Mangetout to be proud of!  Although, one of my plants was meant to be French Beans, except they seem to be sprouting more Mangetout...This is either some kind of cross-pollination, or I simply picked up the wrong thing...Either way, I feel slightly disappointed now.  [sigh]

Normal service shall now resume!

Love Affair

It has been a long ass day!  Firstly I had to creep out of bed to be at work for 9:30am...My alarm woke me at 9:09am...There was some rushing involved & the makeup was sacrificed!  That's right mes amis, I faced the world bare ass naked!  It was harsh, especially with my puffy eyes from complete lack of sleep (lethargy is a bitch!).  Bad times, bad times.

After work mère & I went shopping for Moroccan lanterns & returned three hours later with new crockery, a wicker laundry basket, a whole lot of food & no lanterns...I also attempted to find myself a cheap ass bikini in H&M.  I thought this would be exceptionally easy, after I spied £8 ones a few weeks back...Could I find ONE frickin' matching bikini for £8, oh hell to the no!  Also trying to find a bikini top that fits my petite bust is harder than you would think.

Alas, things were not improved upon when I sat down to dinner & shortly came to realise I was missing 90210!!!  I missed the first ten crucial minutes!  Dag nab it!

90210 is by far my most FAVOURITE of shows...EVER!  I was so sad that it was the last in the series.  Boo flaming hoo!  But it did end on a cliff hanger & at one point I thought my love idols Annie & Liam were gonna throw it all away, but phew, in the end love prevailed!  [sigh]  100% convinced that I need a love like theirs!  [swoon]

I cannot wait until it returns to my box...Please don't take too long my love...!

Lethargy really is a bitch!

I honestly don't think I've ever been so exhausted in all my days!  I have become a complete insomniac & although I have been making the effort to rise before noon, I am now unable to sleep at night!  [yawn]

I expect the constant internetwork trawling hasn't been helping.  Although, this has now been put on the slow go due to the broadband reception struggling against the wind to reach my pit/office.  Missing the last ten minutes of Glee because the internet refused to cooperate, pushed me to breaking point.  I had visions of throwing the MacBook out of the window!

Thankfully I did manage to control my primordial instincts to shut down & attempt to sleep instead.  Unfortunately sleep is avoiding me & the bags under my eyes are getting bigger & bigger.  I wont even need a suitcase for France!  Hand luggage anyone!?

All this lack of sleep is making me revolt against my new year healthy diet & making me crave high-sugar, high-fat, high-calorie food!  I have also been wavering against breaking one of my New Year's Resolutions...Drinking of the devil's drink - coke!

I now have work all over the weekend, causing me to miss my beloved Everything Everything gig in the Wells.  [small tears]  The temptation to drink the black stuff will be strong, but alas, I must be stronger!!!  I already caved in the supermarche this lunchtime, when I wondered into the seasonal isle.  Can't believe they have Easter Eggs in January!  January for Christ's sake!

I may have purchased two bags of mini Cadbury's caramel eggs...& ate them...all!!!  Not to mention the share-size bag of Walker's Sensations...Clearly need some slim inducing sleep pronto, before my waistline starts to have bags of its own too!!!

[yawn]

Let's go have a Mr Piggle's accompanied snuggle!

My complete lack of Christmas cheer has unfortunately resulted in an epic Christmas coma!  Afternoon wake-up calls, combined with pre-evening naps.  High sugar consumption.  Lethargy is a bitch!  However, my dwindling mood has been uber boosted by the eye-spying of the Mulberry sale & most importantly, Mr Piggle's jumper being reduced!  Wooop Wooop!!!  His fairisle jumper is now purchased & will be floating its way to my door shortly!  A small glimmer of Christmas cheer is sneaking its way back to me as we speak...

My house will be a home!

When it comes to the roof above your head, it is irrelevant as to what size or style, however, the contents are very much important.  Although most men see decorative accessories as bits of annoying tat, I myself see them as the little crack fillers that give four blank walls some personality.

After forcing myself out of bed this morning, (lethargy is a bitch), I decided to re-invigorate this very impersonal space.  In fact, the more I cleared, the bigger the house seemed to become & suddenly I realised, we NEED more furniture!!!  Not that I need an excuse to go shopping!  Now, just to find some money...

I have decided upon French grey for my bedroom walls.  I think my cerise pouff will look magnifique next to it, even if I do say so myself.

Oooh, I must confess I had a McDonald's today for the first time in an age & went straight for the festive menu!  Oooh lala.  Mère & I got one of each & split them, so we could have full impact value.  Both were ama-ziiing, but the Chicken & Bacon was suuuperb!!!  Scrummylicious!  Defo a recommendation!

Upon checking up on the availability of the Mulberry jumper for Mr Piggles, (very disappointingly, they have now sold out of the M & L!  Bad times), I came across the most b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. shoes in the world!!!  If only I had £350 to casually spend...I could always pimp myself out...
