These Foolish Things....

Eat,pray,love

I am just loving this book !

Elizabeth Gilbert leaves an unhappy marriage and goes travelling on an amazing journey of mind,body and spirit, When the holidays are over promise yourself aduvet day with this book,its amazing!

Oh Deary me!

I have barely digested all the ridiculous amount of food scoffed over the Christmas, or got the decorations down, or put the toys away, or..... well you get the picture, when all of a sudden I am off again, spending money like there is no tomorrow.... its the Cath Kidston sale!

Merry Christmas!

To all of my wonderful blogging buddies!

I wish for you all to have a holiday season filled with peace and Love, and may 2008 find you and yours blessed with good health and happiness in abundance.

Sending virtual hugs to everyone! Gena xxxxxx

Tag!....you're it! or, its all about meme!

I have been tagged by lovely Chaya over at Kosherwhine for a meme of 7, so here goes! seven useless pieces of information about me!

1) I have a serious addiction to buying clothes and shoes, I live for it, my closet is overflowing.

2)I am always shocked at my reflection! when did I get to look this old? I feel like an eighteen year old inside, and I constantly have to remind myself to act my age.

3)I am an administrator on a  cosmic ordering forum its a great place to be and the success stories are amazing, but I tend not to talk about my spiritual beliefs too much, people may think I am mad!

4)I love to watch Nigella Lawson on TV, also Trinny and Susannah, how to look good naked ( I want Gok to be my friend) and Big Brother, even though every year I dismiss it as utter trash TV, I very rarely miss it!

5)My heart beats faster when I enter the library or a book shop! my love of books stems from a childhood spent totally immersed in the stories of Enid Blyton.

6)I have two tattoos,A flying Angel on my lower back and a heart with a rose through it on my ankle.

7)I admire strong women, in fiction my all time favourite is Scarlett O'Hara, in History I have an unusual obsession with Wallis Simpson! yep! love her or hate her she was utterly fascinating!

Well there you go! I wont tag anyone else, simply because its getting so near to Christmas that I dont feel that I would be thanked for doing so at present, but if any of you feel like doing your own meme, be my guest!

Christmas corners......

Afresh green pine smelling tree!

Fairies and candlelight!

A healthy dose of nostalgia!

And everyone is waiting for Santa Claus to come!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas....

Well judy Love....I would like to, truly I would, if only.....

1. I could finish my Christmas shopping, two weeks to go and not even halfway down the list.

2.I could drop half a stone, none of my clothes fit comfortably.Quick weight loss suggestions accepted gratefully.

3.The fairies would visit during the night and tidy the whole house!

4.I could find my address book, it has been awol for a few months now, where the heck do these things go to? like odd socks?

5.My errant plumber would turn up as promised(over a week ago) and sort out the dishwasher.

6.There were 36 hours in a day as opposed to 24, I could get so much more done!

7.I could quit worrying about the pile of reading matter by the side of my bed, I am too tired to read,but I miss it dreadfully!

8.It was August! if it was August I would have loads of time to get organised! (actually I thought that back in August, did nothing)

9.I looked like Jennifer Aniston! if I looked like her, the festivities would be a breeze! I just know it!

10. If I was American! you Gals are so super organised! and your decorations not to mention your cooking, is utterly fantastic! I want to be like you!

Well there is always next year! but for now, even with my totally disorganised super stressed out life, I'm with Judy....
