bahhhhhh

What a bloody miserable day!!

I'm sat in my office, alone. The phone has barely rang, I look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards, I'm tired and the weather is miserable! Even demolishing 2 bags of weight watchers cookies wasn't enough to cheer me up! and whats worse ... my baby brother has turned 18 today!! He is officially an adult - this depresses me greatly because this means I'm getting old. I still think of him as the 8 year old boy with the mass of baby blonde hair and the biggest set of child's teeth youve ever seen!(that boy had some bloody big teeth going on - still does but thank goodness he grew into them!). Everytime I go back home I'm in shock because I forget this 8 year old boy is now over six foot tall and built like a rugby player - I will come to terms with the aging process one day!


I've planned to start a new painting tonight but I have a feeling that will be put to one side to make way for a night of big brother :-S

Have a pleasant evening folks!

(apologies to Nat - I hope you have a wicked birthday - damn you for growing up so fast!!!)

EPIC FAIL

ok ok ok ... this hasn't quite gone to plan and i'm reeeeeally sorry!!

I have let the whoooole blogging universe down ... ok I've let Mike and the girl's at work down - but still almost 6 weeks since vowing to be the ulitimate blogger and I still haven't written a damn thing!

You'll be pleased to know since my first post I have got back into my painting (pics to follow) I'm job hunting (horrah!!) and I've started aqua aerobics! I'm planning to find success with atleast one of those! Also whilst I've been in hiding my boyfriend's band 'From Great Height' have recorded their third EP and it's pretty awesome (check it out at www.fromgreatheight.com).

Also I discovered the holy grail ... now this is about to get abit Stepford Wives but please bare with me ... it has been a burning ambition of mine to own a Russian Doll teapot, well! *Drum Roll* I now own a whole Russian Doll Teaset!!! I'm yet to find anyone who can equal my excitement or even pretend to be excited for me so if you are please let me know!

Now i'm sorry this is so short and I have lots to share with you but it's home time and I have a curry and the first Big Brother episode of the year to watch ...

Time to get an arse kicking!!

Well hello!

Perhaps now I won't get that constant ringing in my ears (yes Chinelo I mean you!)- yes I have finally got myself a blog AND i'm actually writing in it!!

Well perhaps I should start by introducing myself, my names Cherie and i'm still in mourning after hitting the grand old age of 26. I haven't quite reached the dizzy heights I had expected to have reached at this point in my life and as I feel like life is slipping through my fingers at rather a rapid pace - I should really be doing something about it (... so what does she do? writes a blog! I think this explains alot ...) Don't get me wrong, I don't have a bad life! I have a loving boyfriend, a job, friends, family, an Art Degree and I still get id'ed buying alcohol in the supermarket!!! (EPIC WIN AGAINST THE AGING PROCESS!!) but I'm still left with a rather sizable level of disatisfaction - the problem? A distinct lack of commitment and confidence in ANYTHING I do!!

My life (family, friends and current love life aside) is fast becoming a series of regrets and missed opportunities and my flat is quickly becoming the graveyard for my creations and ideas... Now please don't worry - I won't turn this blog into one constant moan, this is the start of my major kick up the arse!

(Actually ... I won't to lie to you - i'll probably moan abit and as much as my colleague Christina loves to push the ways of positive thinking on me I doubt i'm going to turn into a gleaming beacon of positivity over night!)

I'm going to put myself out there for the world to see, warts and all!!!! - or atleast thats the plan!!

Thinking about it I'm quite looking forward to it ... lets hope I stick to it!!
