Today was a really mixed day! I went to my 2 week appointment thing only to miss the bus...then realised I forgot my papers so had to rush back home and get them and just about caught the next bus. I still arrived on time, but the people kept me waiting half an hour! I was not amused when the Lady tried to act like it was my fault, if they don't tell you correctly where you should go then how is that m fault. I nodded silently when she spoke to me not wanting to vent my anger at her.
I left and went to buy a few things in town. On the bus ride to 'work' I fell asleep on the bus and missed my stop by like 3 stops!! I had to quickly jump of the bus and wait for the bus in the other direction to go back. I was sure to stay awake then.
At 'work' I was asked to go to the shops and buy a thank you card....I hate card shopping...to much choice and never the card you really want. I picked one and they loved it so job done! I then had to cut 1000 leaflets (luckily there was a guillotine) then photocopy another 1000....by that time is was closing so only 852 were done....on Monday I'll make up the rest....then cut those too.....
Back home I lazed watching TV then made dinner. Which was lasagna...I know I don't often mention food, but this turned out like it looks on the picture on the jar. Today was a Dolmio day!
Plus took a picture of my next project. Sneak peak!
Now about that Giveaway!
I'm still in shock! I've only actually been blogging since THIS February! I think I've written on this blog almost everyday. To me it's more like an interactive journal, with the cool addition of pictures and the links to various pages.
I love that I can look over the posts I've written in the past and see what I was up to months later. My blogging style has changed after reading some advice guides. I'll be looking into making my blog even better with a cool banner...once I figure out how I want it to look that is.....
So a huge thank you to all of you who have been kind enough to either be following my blog and those that read often and leave comments.
I'm getting back to using Jano in addition to all the hand sewing I've been doing lately. So I will whip up some mystery items for 3 lucky followers.
All you need to do is leave me a comment with what you love and hate about summer! It's really that simple. The giveaway will be open until the 3rd August, midnight GMT time. The winner will be announced on the 4th. All entries are welcome (just make sure you're not a no-reply blogger, please leave your email if you are)
We'll I'm off to enjoy a doughnut and a soya yogurt.
Be sure to check out this page to find some fun swaps that are going on and are not too late for you to join!!
Siya'll tomorrow!! =D
Oh my goodness.....you are a chatty little thing, aren't you? 200 posts since February?? LOL....I've been blogging a year longer than you and am barely getting to 100 posts! Well, I, for one, am glad that you post as often as you do. I enjoy your blog and am humbled by all you get accomplished. And, hey....your giveaway ends on my birthday so maybe I'll win.....just saying. (grin).......your lasagna looks yummy....
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a day. You're not alone in the crazyiness though. What I love about Summertime is all the sunshine and outdoor activities, the flowers, the smells (rain, fresh cut grass) But I absolutely hate the HOT & HUMID days of living in Florida. The Humidity combined with the heat about kills me. That is why I am trying to move to Utah. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing milestones! Love the weather. Hate the weather too.. Haha.. I'm from Malaysia, I'm experiencing summer throughout the year :)
ReplyDeletecongrats on a fun blogging milestone! what I love about summer - warm weather, sunshine, & lots of great outdoor activities! what I hate about summer - it always ends waaaaay too soon
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I've enjoyed following your sewing adventures these past few months and look forward to whatever comes next!
ReplyDeleteAs to summer, I love that my daughter has a nice long break from school but I can't stand summer weather! :)
Dinner looks yummy! I hate summer when it gets over 95 degrees, it like breathing hot soup, also humidity, yuck! I love that David is out of school, we have more quality time to play and learn. I also love the summer because of all the fresh fruits and veggies.
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed your blog! I find you very creative, interesting, and just down right fun. I have enjoyed our swaps and hope to have many more! Congratulations on 200 posts and 101 followers!
I like your blog and the things you make. You seem to have a lot of energy and are very creative.
ReplyDeleteI love summer because I can be a lot outside. My garden looks beautiful and I enjoy working with nature. I hate it when temperatures get over 35 degrees. Because then I have to stay most of the day inside, with closed shutters and the airconditioner on.
Hi Ada you're a no reply comment blogger. Could you please leave your email address when you comment.
DeleteThanks =D
I love your blog so I am a follower. The thing I really hate about summer is sunburn. I have very pale skin and no matter how much suncream I apply I always end up with one bad sunburn every summer.
ReplyDeleteBut as I love summer fruits I will put up with living like a vampire if it means I can eat berries and salad all day long.
Congratulations! I love your chatty and friendly blog!
ReplyDeleteI love spending lots of time outside in the garden in the summer especially eating outside but I hate the intense heat!!particularly when it gets too hot to sleep at night!
It takes a lot of self control not to vent your anger like that: well done. Look forward to seeing your next project
ReplyDeleteI love that my schedule is a BIT more flexible. I hate sweating. Thanks for the giveaway. I really enjoy reading your blog and following your progress.
ReplyDeleteLOL I'm cracking up at your bus adventure! I LOVE the freedom of traveling in the summer with nearly no obligations. It allowed us to go on a FREE vacation to the beach last week. I also LOVE that it's my bday today, heh heh. I hate sunburns in the summer.. I have a huge stockpile of aloe now just for that.
ReplyDeleteLove the summer heat, but would like to have a couple more days mixed in with rain, to eliminate the drought we've been having! Love giveaways, and love reading your chatty blog. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the long hot days of summer and hate that summer is so short.
ReplyDeleteI love the summer because I get out of school and I move to our beach house for the summer by myself:-) My husband comes every other weekend. The thing I hate is summer is over and back to the grind.
ReplyDeletei love the garden but hate the heat
ReplyDeleteI love summer because I am less cold! I am a chilly body, and crave warmth! I hate waking up too early, because it gets light too soon!
ReplyDeletePlease include me in your little list!
Congratulations on reaching your milestone! Blogging like summertime is filled with fun and adventures! I love summertime because I lived in Florida for 20 years before moving to Pennsylvania which is cold for half of the year!:0( I love the smell of barbecue smoking on the grill and having friends over to share fun times with!
ReplyDeleteMystery items in the mail are one of my favorite things! ;) I look forward to your posts - your writing style is very distinct and always makes me smile. :) My favorite thing about summer... the day it ends? Least favorite thing... heat. And boy does it get hot here - regularly it breaks 100F. That's hot. At least it's not humid, but still...100F is hot. :(
ReplyDeleteI love that my kids are home & I don't have to run them to & from school. But I hate that I don't get any me time... :)
ReplyDeleteI am impressed that you have so many followers in such a short time. Good for you! I hate mosquitos and love the sun staying out longer!
ReplyDeleteWow, has it only been a few months still? It seems like it should be much longer! I love not being in work, and relaxing in the sun, but I hate that my husband has really short holidays so we can't spend all day every day together. :(
ReplyDeleteDinner looks yum :). I love the long summer evenings pims and a good Barbie. Don't like working much in summer though as.my office heats up in afternoon and a dinstinct lack of aircon. On a plus side could be inventive and turn it into a greenhouse ha ha. Happy blogging :D.
