I wish Losure was In Boston

I've arrived. Back in USA staying with some of my favourite Americans, Stacy, Kate and Gillian. Although Kate has Bronchitus on some such disease and has been hacking up flem since I got here, so she's not much fun yet. I've consumed more pizza, chocolate, cold pizza, more chocolate than I have in years and now I feel a little sick. Which must mean popcorn time.

By the Power of Greyskull!!

I'm feeling a little nostalgic today. I miss the days of He-man, She-ra, Gloworms, Keypers, rubix cubes, Sylvanian Families, and My Little Pony (not the anorexic crappy ones they have today, but the real My Little Pony). I want to be a Princess of Power and have a pink horse called Spirit and fight Hordak for the Honour of Greyskull. I want to be able to hide my secrets inside a plastic, pastel coloured animal. I want to play with a Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtle (or TMNT for those in the know). I want Sindys to come back, she was so much prettier than Barbie, and younger. I want to play with Fuzzy Felts and Transformers - Robot in Disguise.

Aww, it seems so long ago.

We're all going on our summer holidays...lalalala

Well, not summer holdays, but winter holiday. And thats cos the flights are cheaper. Although after booking I relised that had I waited 2 weeks, the flights would have fallen by another £100. Damn.
Anyway, 2 days til holiday. Which has suddenly hit me. Up until now it didn't seem real. Or close. And now I have to pack! I'm actually nervous which is weird considering the amount of travelling I have done before and that I used to fly to America every two months for about 3 years. A years break from the travelling and I feel like a little flying virgin.

Anyway, I get to see some of my favourite people in the whole world. Well, in America. I am soooooooooooooo excited.

Sick sick sick

I am feeling very sorry for myself at the moment so forgive me if I moan and whine on and on. Me and Nic have managed to spawn some kind of mutant virus, a mixture of cold, flu and sickness all in one. Which is nice to say the least. So today i have had a duvet day and watched a million movies and generally felt crap. Having got sick of watching films, I am now resorting to 'real life tv.' Tonights highlights include 'My Two Mums are Men', which is exactly as weird as it sounds, that poor kid, and 'Star Spell', where Z list celebrities are tested on their spelling. I'm so glad I pay a fortune every year on my tv licence so I get the opportunity to watch quality television such as this. Back to the duvet.

DIY

Today I bought a shelf set for the bathroom. I thought it would be the answer to all of my storage problems. So I spent an hour putting it together, dragged it upstairs, and then when I got it into the bathroom it didn't fit. So I have had to drag it all the way downstairs again, battle a spider on the way and then take it all apart, put it all back in the plastic wrapper and pretend it had never been put together, so then I can return it tomorrow. Damn.

And the spider was HUGE. and a fast runner. But its ok, it went into Nicola's shoe.
