Blogmas Day 7: Preparation

Elflings,

Tomorrow is the day that the Greens go festive aka I wrap myself up in tinsel, lights and wear baubles as earrings and sing Christmas songs very loud and very out of tune whilst we put the decorations up. My original plan for today's post was going to be a gingerbread house, but it hasn't been made yet ha so PLOT TWIST, it's a shorter post than usual with a me not shoving Christmas down your throat quite as much.

I decided to give this post the title "preparation" because really that's what my evening has consisted of. My mum likes to completely blitz the living room before we put the decorations up, so that happened, and we found a spider that ended up getting run over by a cabinet (accidentally) and somehow survived with a possible broken leg. Mummy G did the good deed and put it outside whilst I screamed on the sofa thinking it was going to attack me.

All this happened whilst DJ Lia was flicking through music channels and singing Christmas songs very loud and very out of key. It is a very good job we live in a detached house.

I'm sure you have guessed that tomorrow's post will be completely dedicated to putting the Christmas decorations up so you'll have lots of lovely photos of the tree and Santa and tinsel and me attempting to put tinsel on the dog and her not cooperating (happens every year).

I really hope they're wrong about the weather that's meant to be coming over the weekend because I don't fancy the snow, which is odd because I used to love it but now I'm at the age where it's a bit eh. I can't wake up on a weekday and wait for the local radio station to announce that my school isn't going to open today. Every time I try and build a snowman, it fails. And, it's bloody cold but that's obvious. I like looking at snow and I love seeing my dog in it because she loves it, and to a certain extent I do like it. I just like it where it doesn't really cause too much damage to my plans or my family's plans and whatnot, but as you get older I think it just gets in the way. Also, I do not want to try and drive in the snow, me and Tilly (the Toyota) will not have a good time.

My plan tomorrow is to aim to get lot's of things ticked off various to-do lists in terms of trying to complete Christmas buying and whatnot and cards and uni stuff because apparently that isn't put on hold for me to do exciting Christmas things...rude.

Until tomorrow,
Lia x

Phrases I Hate

Hey Earthlings! We all have those phrases or quotes or sometimes just words that when we hear them it makes our blood boil and our neck do that funny thing where you kind of go "bleurghuohui". You know what I mean? I've taken a few of them, listed them here and told you exactly why I hate them. Let me know if there's some more you hate. "There's someone out there worse off than you" Yes, this may be the case and I hope they come out of their situation feeling all the joys of spring but just because there is someone out there with more issues than you're feeling, it does not mean your experiences and feelings are invalid. If you are trying to comfort someone and make them feel better about their situation in what way is, "ah well don't worry, Tina down the road is way worse off than you are" going to make them feel better? EXACTLY. It won't. End of, let's just entirely blow this phrase away. "Respect your elders"...

Doris goes to see Captain Marvel | FILM REVIEW

Hello dearies!  I hear the new film that's 'hot on the block' recently is this Captain Marvel one, and little old Doris does like to be hip, trendy and down with the kids *throws the equivalent of a swagger sign* so decided to hop on the bandwagon and go along, booking myself in for the 12.00 (pm just to clarify) showing at the local cinema. I'm currently cutting down on the whole chocolate/cake/biscuits scene, so sneaked a small tub of Pringles into the cinema with me...I have to say, I felt like a bit of a rebel eating food that I'd bought from somewhere else whilst inside the cinema, it was an adrenaline rush! If you're wondering what flavour Pringles they were, I obviously chose the best ones aka sour cream and onion as I'm not some sort of monster.  Anyway, I did buy one of those Tango Ice thingymabobs as I hear that's too what the cool kids like to have at the cinema. I could only have cherry though as the machine wasn't working properly, t...

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019

Hello Earthbugs! I'm back and hopefully this upcoming year will be a lot better post wise than 2018, if I tell you the truth I don't really know what happened. Quite a few times during 2018 I felt all out of sorts and not really motivated to do anything, which for me is horrible because I thrive off having a goal to get and so on. Writing has always been a passion of mine and my blog allows me to have my own little space on the internet which I have always loved the idea of so 2019 is definitely the year that I attempt to throw myself back into blogging. I hope you're happy to come along on that journey with me! I decided to combine the goodbye 2018 post and hello 2019 post instead of doing separate posts this time, so feel free to grab yourself a cup of tea or something stronger if you like and let's go. 2018. I think I can safely say that 2018 hasn't been the year for my family, we have gone through a lot of battles and hard times and somehow come out of t...
