just borrowed this off my daughter's facebook page:
"I love my past, I love my present. I am not ashamed of what I have had, and I am not sad because I no longer have it."- aww, she loves me :)

definitely on a repeat pattern!
it's been almost a month since i posted, no excuses i just wish that today was the 27th then things really would be on a repeat pattern.
i want to write something everyday but get distracted by interesting forums, mad message boards and dumb television - what is it that sticks me like glue to the ridiculous rubbish i watch on TV?
i also get distracted by my cat who feels that the laptop is stealing her warm and cosy place, she wants and needs to sit on me or she will yowl, a sort of meow with volume and distance that often says 'give me what i want or i'll be sick then you'll have to put that laptop down to clear it up!' - cats, very prone to fur balls and blackmailing!!!
and what's all this christmas stuff - surely it can wait until december starts, people will be putting lights outside their houses before the weekend's out. my ex used to say you shouldn't decorate the christmas tree before the 24th december - well he said that's what they do in norway where his father came from.
i remember the days when we decorated the tree the week before christmas, it helped to build the excitement up and made sure the tree lasted until christmas was over, of course those were the days when we all had real trees and the world was a nicer place.
but was it really a nicer place or was it just that i didn't have the years of experience i now have? reality is a real put down isn't it - oh to be young and innocent again!
actually i'm starting to see the point of getting organised early, you'll have longer to appreciate the 'lovely' decorations and if you do get organised now you'll have less hard work to do when the dreaded day comes looming towards us.
and on that note i shall go off and remember those happy days when presents were a real surprise and snow was something that came every year, if you didn't have a sledge you could always use a tea tray! and the skating, i remember skating on a frozen pond and thinking nothing of it but know it is a wonderful memory of my childhood.
