Musing Mondays

Note to self: buy rechargeable batteries for camera! This is my outfit that I wore to my dad’s 50^th birthday party on Saturday night. The photos, however, were taken tonight as the batteries for my camera had died before we even got to the party. So my hair is a bit flat, my tan has faded and I don’t have fake eyelashes on. But I’m sure you get the gist.    

So third post in and already I’m blog cheating. Before you know it I’ll be photo-shopping myself into outfits taken from the Topshop website tehe. I’m afraid that you will have to bear with me until firstly, I get used to being ready ten minutes before I must leave the house so I have the time to take pictures. And secondly, until I learn how to use the functions on my camera. I found it so difficult to get the ‘right’ colour of my dress and also how to photoshop. I did play slightly around with the saturation but I can’t tell the difference to the original.   

Dress: H&M (Current Season)
Shoes: Car boot (50p!)

So whilst I’m sure the blogosphere is going mad for the Britney Spears episode of Glee I have been sitting in awe mixed with sheer horror watching “One Born Every Minute”. I think this series should be enrolled into the sex education programme at school. The act of labour is glamourised in film and TV as a few pushes and out comes baby. This show, especially last weeks, demonstrates the reality that labour is no mean feat and is bloody painful. It’s realistic enough to suppress my broodiness for another couple of years at 22 so I’m sure if would be an effective birth control weapon to a group of 15 year old school kids. However, if and when I do give birth, the programme has made me hope that I manage to look even half as good as Lydia (the girl who gave birth in the pool). What a babe, even at nine months pregnant she looks amazing in a bikini!  

I’m right in the middle of my exams at Uni so life at the moment pretty much sucks. I wake up, study, eat, study, procrastinate on facebook, study, look at blogs, study, then bed. Can’t wait for Thursday when it will all be over (for a couple of months at least). For me, when the January exams finish that’s when the new year begins. I never implement my New Year’s resolutions until the final week in January because I find the depression and stress of the month just sets you up to fail. 2011 is going to be such a defining year for me and I can’t wait to get on with it.

How is everyone else getting on with their exams, and/or have you stuck to your New Year’s resolutions?

I'd love to hear from you.
