1. Right now I'm a bit lost and feeling like I'm stuck while everyone else strides ahead. But I also know that God has much to teach me about faith.
2. You'd have to ask those who know me what characteristic is my well known quirk.
3. Are you happy?
4. Think first, then act!
5. That's why this lady is a tramp.
6. Modern Family is a recent discovery for me, but now is one of my favorite tv shows ever!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleep, despite having rather a long nap today, tomorrow my plans include watching some sermons online and hopefully having Mum over for a trip to the park and Sunday, I want to feel a bit more motivated so that I can hopefully make a start on packing!

Friday Fill-Ins #87-90
And...here we go!
1. One time, I would like be someone's first choice.
2. Holding onto fond memories of my Dad is something that makes me smile.
3. Seven words I love: "I love you for who you are."
4. If it's going to snow; I wish it would really snow!
5. I looked out the window today and saw that most of the recent snow had melted away.
6. You can open your mouth and speak and that's saying something!
7. Ahhhh Bisto.
8. This year I need to start preparing my mind and habits for a change of career...into nursing!
9. Creating a better world always starts with you.
10. Some time this year, The Mrs and I are going to Bath for a weekend of pampering and relaxation.
11. Kick start other people's motivation with a kick and you'll probably lose friends.
12. Sometimes I long for the end of the world so that all this suffering can end. But I know that God does everything in His own time: "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." [2 Peter 3:9].
13. Let me entertain you/be your fantasy/love you/Google that.
14. As much as you can, be patient with and kind to other people. Everyone is going through their own life struggles and a kind word can do more to help than you know.
15. Listen here: you are precious!
16. It annoys me how many people are intent on forcing their opinions about particular issues on other people, when they actually have no idea what they are talking about!
17. When I was younger, I thought that by this age I would be settled financially and career-wise, married and a parent. I am none of those things.
18. Sometimes, all you can do in the face of adversity is laugh!
19. Wake up it's a beautiful morning, the sun shining for your eyes. Wake up, it's so beautiful, for what could be the very last time.
20. I feel very grateful to have had a good childhood and be able to look back fondly on all the fun we had.
21. Every picture tells a story, so they say.
22. When I feel low, I become a little too quiet.
23. Stay with what you love and enjoy.
24. I am pretty fabulous in a thousand ways.
25. Wow, this debt thing is getting ridiculous.
26. My head is seemingly devoid of useful information, but full of pointless trivia.
27. Finally, I'm almost at the point where I can see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
28. Being single is just going to have to be all right with me.
29. Sweet or savory: I'll take both, thanks for offering.
30. Lamentations 3:22-23 tells us that God's compassions do not fail; every morning they are new.
31. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a quiet evening, tomorrow my plans include a quiet Sabbath day, then off to see Django Unchained with Samsonand Sunday, I want to list lots of stuff on eBay and try to organise my wardrobe!

Friday Fill-Ins #84
And...here we go!
1. Sunshine deficiency is no joke. I'm considering the possibility that I need to permanently live in a much sunnier and perhaps warmer climate.
2."She does whatever she wants, my wife," is the last thing I overheard someone [my Dad!] say.
3. I found a recipe for carrot cake with lime cream cheese icing and it really tasted good!
4. I'm looking forward to my life finally going somewhere.
5. Right now I can hear my Dad groaning in his sleep. It makes me feel sad.
6. I'm so tired, I'm having trouble thinking of anything that makes me smile!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going to sleep, even though I didn't get an early night as planned (I blame Tumblr), tomorrow my plans include quiet time, reading and Sunday, I want to go home, where I haven't been for more than a week!

Friday Fill-In #83
And...here we go!
1. When it comes time to make a decision, I will make it. I work better under pressure or threat of action.
2. Treat others the way you would like to be treated - that must be the rule.
3. Ma says, 'Never chase a man, If he really likes you, he will do all the chasing.'
4. I'm not convinced it's possible to be totally in love with a person while at the same time believing you are also totally in love with someone else.
5. I never saw how bad things were until I had come out the other side.
6. You would think it sometimes from the way people behave, but common sense is not a new invention.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to chilling with the boy, tomorrow my plans include helping the boy with his move before going to see The Mrs for a night in of movies and pizza and Sunday, I want to get home at a reasonable time in order to get organised for the week!

Friday Fill-In #82
Today I've done this week's fill-ins as well as last week's in one big batch.
And...here we go!
1. It's time to move on and make a change.
2. I’ll have a veggie hotdog please... and don't forget the mustard!
3. I'm trying to not let it get to me, but I don’t understand why I’m coming up against resistance from those who should be on my side.
4. "I see you’re also taking part in Movember", that was the last funny comment I received.
5. Please send me a birthday card this year, if you feel so inclined. It’s so much lovelier than getting a comment on Facebook or a text.
6. I will be packing snacks, ‘cause I'm in it for the long haul.
7. Go ahead, there's some lessons you just have to learn from first-hand experience.
8. The legal right to drive a vehicle on the road - I'll get that soon! (I hope!)
9. Don't worry "about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." [Matthew 6:34, NIV].
10. I think I’ve already used up my positive energy for the day.
11. Pretty much any situation I can provide advice/encouragement/a listening ear for, but some days I can’t even get myself out of bed.
12. I wonder if anyone will ever be truly proud of and impressed with me.
13. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to seeing the ‘rents and catching up on their holiday photos, tomorrow my plans include me probably avoiding going to church, much to my Mum’s disdain and Sunday, I want to get my hair did and pray for snow!

Friday Fill-In #79
Anyone in the holiday spirit? I'm getting there. So...here we go!
1. As I neared the end of the week, I realised just how much I need a weekend.
2. The Joy Luck Club is what I'm reading right now. It's the basis of a film I like, but I haven't started the book quite yet. I'm hoping I will enjoy it as much as Shantaram - the last book I read and an utterly amazing one at that.
3. I didn't start out this way, I was naive, not cynical. Bright-eyed, not bitter.
4. It hasn't really sunk in, to tell the truth.
5. The best way to rile me up is to tell me to calm down.
6. This is the reason I am thankful: Romans 8:28. It says, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going to see the 'rents, tomorrow my plans include spending the day with the 'rents and Sunday, I want to sort out a few things round the house, do a bit of cross-stitch and start reading my book!

Friday Fill-In #78
And...here we go! My answers are in bold.
1. One of my favorite things about December is the knowledge that I will soon have some time off work, to spend with family and friends, and that a new year is just around the corner.
2. If I had my own place and my own Christmas tree to decorate, believe me, it would be adorned with an eclectic mix of very cute ornaments!
3. This is what I'm hoping for today/tonight: that Dad is feeling well enough for me to spend some time with him and that he gets better very soon.
4. When a snowflake lands on a squirrel’s nose, does he make a noise?
5. Ooh, a mince pie? Don’t mind if I do!
6. The Carol of the Bells with soon be ringing! And then I can do some comedic operatic singing to go with it!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to seeing my parents and getting snuggly in my pyjamas (my bed at their house is so comfortable), tomorrow my plans include watching a service online, or reading, or some other quiet time and Sunday, I want to sort out some space in my room so it doesn’t depress me to be in there!

Friday Fill-In #74
1. When I was 10 years old I had a brilliant primary school teacher who taught us this song:
2. The humble carrot is my favorite vegetable because I love eating them raw like bugs bunny and have done since I was little.
3. My dream pet is one that feeds and cleans itself and only comes to me for cuddles and company. Hey, that could just as easily be a boyfriend! Lol!
4. What you put out there is what eventually surrounds you.
5. If I could live anywhere in the world I'd live in a place that had a more constant climate, at least for a little while. I would miss the seasons, but really want at least one summer that is an actual summer with regular sunshine and warmth!
6. I am hoping that this weekend the sun will keep on shinin' on me. It's beautiful out there today, let's hope it lasts!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to the Friday night sense of relief, tomorrow my plans include nothing in particular other than hopefully enjoying a bit of sun and Sunday, I want to help Samson hang his new curtains - oh the excitement!

And...here we go!
1. How in the world did I get to this age? I've no idea how I'll feel in 30 years' time and am actually old!
2. I need to think less about what has happened previously and focus on what lies in front of me.
3. Life's a battle to make the right choices.
4. This weekend could be an ideal time for an indoor picnic lunch, if today's constant rain is anything to go by.
5. That was where we spent our teenage years, full of abandon, carefree minds and wrought emotion.
6. There isn't really anywhere I think of as "our place". I haven't made too many attachments to places lately.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to wishing Big Sis a happy birthday in person and then catching up on the sleep I've lost this week through fault of my own making, tomorrow my plans include lunch with MiniMe, an afternoon with the boy and then a night of drinks and dancing with MiniMe, her fella and their friends and Sunday, I want to try and wake up on time to have lunch with some other friends, then get back to spend the rest of the day with Samson, knowing we have an extra day of weekend to enjoy, woo hoo!

And...here we go!
1. It's fun to let go of reality and use your imagination. Failing that, it’s fun to go to a toyshop and set off all the talking cuddly toys at the same time, then make a quick getaway.
2. A bad impression is easy to make. Which is why I like to give everyone a second chance!
3. I like to be made a fuss over, occasionally. Alternatively, I like to be alone!.
4. How was my life supposed to turn out? Which decision(s) completely changed the direction I was meant to take? I will never know!
5. Something I'm very much excited about is turning 30. I know most people don’t get excited by that, but I’ve decided I’m going to be and am going to celebrate in style!
6. I wasn’t going to get photographs and video of my skydive, as I couldn’t afford it, but my Mum convinced me I should and paid for it for me, and I’m so glad she did! The end product was well worth it.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to being able to relax in the way you can when you know you don’t have to get up for work the next day, tomorrow my plans include probably going to see the ‘rents and Sunday, I want to select a good bunch of photos for my parents’ wedding anniversary present and try to restart my cross-stitch project!

And...here we go!
1. The only question is what is your purpose for being? Everyone has one, it's just a case of discovering it.
2. Just think of all the lives tha start and end in one day.
3. Three things on my desk: my mug that has a history of art timeline on it; a small, black, carved wooden African (?) statue that I inherited from someone else' desk; and a peace lily.
4. Paint my toenails is the one thing I HAVE to do today! I wouldn't normally pick such a frivolous thing, but I have done lots of work today already and am going to a wedding tomorrow with open-toed shoes and that's the one thing I haven't done to make myself look presentable!
5. I love playing with: Samson's hair (because it pings back into place), my friends' children, cats and words.
6. An amazing view from on a mountain top while out in the open overwhelms the senses.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to chilling out with Samson after what has felt like a hectic week, tomorrow my plans include going to the wedding of one of Samson's good friends (I won't know anyone there - yikes!) and Sunday, I want to return to London, have an afternoon nap and generally feel relaxed in time for another week!

And...here we go!
1. How can I say thanks for the things you have done for me? ['My Tribute' - my Mum used to sing this all the time when I was growing up].
2. I'm still not convinced that weed should be legalised. I know too many people that is has negatively effected, some permanently.
3. My hair is fabulous. The end. Haha!
4. This Wednesday my Mum is going to Washington D.C. for a week, for a family/college reunion - lucky old her! She needs a break and deserves it.
5. My favorite summer fruits are all of them, really. I love tropical fruits, but they aren't technically summer fruits, seeing as they don't grow here. So I'm going to say berries - strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, all that lovely stuff.
6. "Don't go chasing waterfalls."...what was that? A quote from 'The Other Guys', that's what!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm (not) looking forward to the mountain of washing up I have to do in preparation for Big Sis and Bro-in-Law's return in the middle of the night, tomorrow my plans include going to my old church with the Mrs and her Dad and then going to visit my parents and Sunday, I want to have lunch with my uni girls and then relax!

And...here we go!
1. Summer is never a certainty in the UK.
2. A person of good character and strong principles is unchanged by pressure, circumstances or convenience.
3. Aargh! I'm slipping backwards again!
4. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
5. Seven: the best and most blest day of the week (Saturday).
6. Life would be wonderful for everyone in the world if their most basic needs (food, water, shelter, healthcare, education, employment) were available to them, don't you think?
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to getting home, having something good to eat, catching up on some blog reading/writing and generally just chilling out all on my own, tomorrow my plans include sorting out a few bits, watching Stanborough Park Church online and then going to meet the Mrs for a lazy aftenoon milling about, finally getting to watch Bridesmaids and then having Nando's for dinner and Sunday, I want to do my laundry (so gangsta!)!

Friday Fill-In #68
And...here we go!
1. Life is beautiful, magical, challenging, inspiring and difficult, but altogether too short.
2. Piccadilly Circus (London) is one of the best places to people watch EVER because you get to catch a glimpse of such weird and wonderful people from all over the globe.
3. If I was going somewhere, the one thing I have to bring is my bag, because that always contains my essentials anyway.
4. The weekend always rolls around soon enough.
5. Next year, I can only hope I will have progressed as much as I would like to.
6. I lost myself and I found you.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to getting an early night, tomorrow my plans include being lazy and seeing my boy and Sunday, I want to have a nice day with Samson after waving Big Sis and Bro-in-Law off on their break to the Lake District!

Friday Fill-in #67
My answers are in italics. And...here we go!
1. I hold on to the hope that things will get better, eventually.
2. Lolly is someone I like to travel with because she is easy-going, similar-minded and doesn't mind me taking millions of pictures, as long as I get some of her!
3. That day, the day I am debt-free, will be one of huge happiness and relief. I am hoping to see that day before my next birthday - that's 10 months in which to acheive it, eek!
4. I would LOVE a beach holiday somewhere hot this year. It's probably not going to happen quite yet because of point #3.
5. Trust completely only in God, because He alone knows everything and humans are sadly flawed. I'm trying to remember this.
6. I like listening to chilled-out music in bed in the dark.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to finishing work and going home, tomorrow my plans include reading, relaxing and hopefully seeing the boy sometime in the afternoon/evening and Sunday, I want to sort out some paperwork, finish my wardrobe, do some eBaying and maybe write a blog if I can muster up the creative energy!

Friday Fill-In #66
I Am From...
1. I am from the dictionary, from Oxford English and Roget’s.
2. I am from the red patterned carpet, from numbers 19 and 6, from the smell of delicious things baking in the oven.
3. I am from the mango trees, jacaranda and bougainvillea, the mighty oak, purple heather and dry-stone walls.
4. I am from closeness through blood, not distance and raging migraines, team sports and fierce debate, from Harry and Lucy and Cenon and Paz.
5. I am from the hard-working and deprived, the God-fearing and chivalrous but humorous in all.

(Janet decided: "We're going to do things a bit differently this week. A blog friend, Jen, wrote a post called I Am From . . . A Meme Worth Doing, using this template (it's worth checking out Fred's and Jen's writing to get an idea of what to do). I thought it would be fun to do the fill-ins on this template.")

Friday Fill-In #64 & #65
I missed last week's Fill-Ins, so am doing a combined post of both.
And...here we go!
1. Getting away would be easier if I could drive.
2. A good night's sleep helps to start your day off right.
3. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? I will usually always choose tea, but will go for a hot chocolate now and then (especially if from A&T, yum yum).
4. Attachments to things in place of relationships with people is never an adequate substitute.
5. The lights aren't on as much while the sunset is so late.
6. Everyone deserves happiness.
7. Blue skies are a nice surprise.
8. There are some avenues off memory lane that I would rather not go down, but most of the way is fun to re-visit.
9. Kids are innocent, endearing, inspiring, scarily observant and generally full of the joie de vivre that we start to lose the older we get.
10. Escaping the rat race, seeing new people, places and languages, constantly good weather; these are some of the best things about vacation.
11. Love is only real when put into action.
12. If you don't know what watching the submarine races means (like me until a moment ago), you will laugh when you look it up on Urban Dictionary.
13. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having dinner with the fam and my visitng cousin Duck, tomorrow my plans include going to W-church for the first time in ages and Sunday, I want to spend time with my cuz and hopefully a bit of time with Samson too!

Friday Fill-In #63
And...here we go!
1. One of my favorite birthday presents was the blue and yellow bike I got when I was about 5.
2. He liked me, so he asked me out on a date, it was as simple as that. A relationship that isn't complicated - imagine!
3. The moon was eclipsed by the earth's shadow last night...allegedly. I didn't even hear about it until it was almost over and there was too much cloud to see anything, in any case!
4. A good weekend includes nice weather, good food and fun company.
5. I was tempted by Big Sis' clothing purchases that she showed me yesterday to have a splurge myself on payday. But I realised that actually, I don't especially want to. This is significant progress!
6. Get a serious tan, explore some beautiful landscapes, chill out, swim, take photos and eat yummy fresh fruit are some of the things I like to do on vacation.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to chilling out with the knowledge I don't have to go to work next week, tomorrow my plans include going to church (for the first time in ages) with the Mrs, then going to visit the 'rents and Sunday, I want to start the epic task that is sorting out my room!

Friday Fill-In #62
And...here we go!
1. I remember when I first heard that Princess Diana had died. I was on the toilet and my Dad shouted the news up the stairs. Not a great image, I know.
2. This morning, the rain was showering down, thunder and all - I think it might be because Prince Philip is 90 years old today. There's a message in there somewhere.
3. Most humans aren't as clever as they like to think.
4. But he told me he loved me...sound familiar?
5. I was inspired by Mariah Carey to improvise while singing, by my Mum to be fearless, by my Dad to be funny, by Big Sis to be stylish, by Bigger Sis to be open-minded and outspoken and by Samson to be me!
6. I have put any number of clothes, shoes and accessories into my wardrobe, but can never find things to wear. I think all the good items find their way out the back and escape to Narnia, or who knows where!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to visiting the Mrs for a chilled out evening (but no pizza!), tomorrow my plans include going to see Samson for a bit and Sunday, I want to watch another episode of True Blood season 3, write a blog post and buy sandwich components for my lunches next week!

Friday Fill-In #61
And...here we go!
1. Hey! You! Get off of my cloud! (The Rolling Stones).
2. Inside every sentence said in jest is a tiny, weeny kernel of truth.
3. Eat to live, eat with enjoyment, eat well, eat with gratitude, eat a balanced diet and eat until just before you are full.
4. I hate arguments or disagreements between friends or family where I am stuck in the middle.
5. First thing to note: is that this is #5 in the list.
6. When I'm not feeling right, I find I am too distracted to concentrate on a distraction.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to catching up over drinks with Shoulders and Kitty who are visiting for a short time from Oz, tomorrow my plans include chilling out, then going out dancing with MiniMe and her gang in my bright pink coral dress (with matching nail polish, eek) and Sunday, I want to potter about, sort out some clothes and try to eBay a thing or two as this weekend there are no listing fees!
