instructions!

why is it i have a problem following instructions? i decided to dye something the other day, the instructions said to wear gloves, why would i think that didn't apply to me? as i didn't want the trousers i was dying to go a really dark blue, just a regular navy blue i decided to measure out about a third of the dye to use. there was one solid lump so i put that back in the box - that was my downfall, solid lump wasn't so solid and bits ingrained themselves, all over my hands! most of it washed off but some was stuck, ingrained under my finger nails and nothing would shift it - never mind i thought, no one will notice. i think actually people did but as i'd forgotten all about it i wasn't explaining my everso overly grubby looking nails, i got funny looks all the next day! it is starting to fade from my nails, i'm hoping the extra scrubbing i'm doing is making some difference and i do wish all those people who saw my nails and thought i was a grubby tart will read this!

only days have gone by not weeks this time, i must be getting better at remembering!

anyone watching the Winter Olympics? i remember someone asking me that a few years ago and i thought it was for old folks, i must be aging fast!!!

poor Nodar, the luge bloke from Georgia who died in training the day of the opening. how sad to have got that far and die before being able to really show your skills. i feel most for his parents, they should be very proud of him, he got to the Olympics and might even have won a medal, he should be awarded a posthumous one.

ok the days fly past as i forget to write ~ must try harder!!!

almost asleep so anything i say now will only make sense to me and martians so i'll forget today and start again tomorrow ~ maybe.

night all, sleep tight and watch the bed bugs don't bite!

follow your dream!

ok so i keep trying to follow my dream but it seems to be running away from me!!!

seriously, i mean to write on here every day but the hours in the day just escape from me. now i could write all night long but then when would i sleep? every time i close the laptop and put the lights out the words come into my head, words that are itching to be written down, the trouble is that i do need to sleep sometimes.

perhaps all i need to do is organise myself, set aside the time to write when nothing else is happening ~ trouble is the words all leave me when i have nothing to do, only to crowd back in when i am at my busiest. inspiration and time need to make friends and run hand in hand for this to work. ever sat at a keyboard and just looked, wondering where the words are hiding and why they can't make the short distance from you fingertips to the keyboard, after all, they've done the hard bit from your brain and all down your arms, is there a road block in your hands?

and then just when you log out of the blog to check your gas bill you suddenly think of something that would look so great, if only you could remember it by the time you get back here!!!
