Livin' on a Prayer

I'm in a strange mood (again!) today...I think it started last night when I came home from step aerobics (that's another story) and decided after my shower to let my hair 'dry naturally'. So this morning, it was tied up in a ponytail and it was 6.45am so I didn't give it much thought. I pulled on blue jeans (cos I have no client meetings today) and a black top...pretty straightforward stuff really....but then I spied a black waistcoat that I bought during the summer in Pennys and said - why not, and put that on. Kinda jaunty.
In the car on the way in to work I let me hair down as it still wasn't dry.

It's now 9.15 - I've been at work an hour, and am just back from the toilets...where I got my first glimpse in the mirror. I LOOK LIKE JON BON JOVI.
This is not a good thing. My scrunch dried hair was quickly tied up but the waistcoat and blue jeans look....I had bought the waistcoat to wear in a smart, workwear kinda way, but instead look like a rocker from the 80s. This 80s fever (see post below) is slowly setting in!
I am confined to my desk for the day...and will probably starve. Am planning going into town shopping asap!

Anyhoo, all good besides - maybe this is a mid week pre 30 crisis!

And will the rain ever stop? Answers on a postcard please....

What I'm Up To

A quick post - what I'm up to at the moment.....

Eilis started school last monday. All is going great TG. Emotion didn't progress beyond a lump in my throat on the first day - luckily, cos she probably would have turned around and given out to me. She came home on Tuesday and proclaimed that she 'loved' school and it was 'brilliant'. I think that's a pretty good first week. Am hoping to pull together the photos and put them into the Lance Anderson album from the Midsummer Megascrap Classes.

The house is flying along. I've been taking lots of photos - trying to take them at the same location and at every stage. I haven't been as good taking written notes though. Might even do it in my diary at work just to get something on paper. Went last week looking at kitchens....it's all becoming more real now that the roof is kind of on.

Birthday Party:

Hopefully this invite won't prompt a mass invasion of random lurkers...ala a teen 'houseparty' that gets out of hand...just like you see in the movies. Haven't decided on my costume yet - most people are planning on being someone from the 80s like Magnum PI or Anneka Rice - I was just going to dress up in my best glad rags and tacky make-up. Suggestions welcome for a themed couple....JR and SueEllen, etc, etc.

Kirsty's Principles Course

This started yesterday with the Rule of Thirds. Have to get out and get snapping...in the fresh autumn air. Also have to read the manual for my camera - this relationship needs to get stronger.

Halloween Megascrap Event

On the 1st of November. Donna is coming back and Anita is coming with her. Love the potential of these classes and am excited. Don't really want to miss Halloween night with the kids though, so we'll see what can be done....

So ya, you could say I was busy! And as for work.....

And here's a pic of the littlest fraggle in the house...lucky she's so cute - cos she's waking up at night still!
