To new beginnings. To the pursuit of...somethingness.

Hi cherisong,

just de-lurking to share a quote, I am watching Parenthood at the mo, I'm a massive Steve Martin fan and it always warms my heart This is from Grandma

You know, when I was nineteen, Grandpa took me on a roller coaster. Up, down, up, down. Oh, what a ride! I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited, and so thrilled all together! Some didn't like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it.

hope things calm down soon

Wow ladies. Just having a quick break following a 2 hour teleconference which is reconvening in 15 minutes and thought I would pop on here for some inspiration. I must have been psychic because what better inspiration could I have got than these two quotes. Love them. Really feel motivated to go back into the teleconference now.

As for the roller coaster I couldnt agree more, I love rollercoasters and just had that exact conversation with Mr C last night. We both hate the waltzers because all it does is shake you around and make you feel sick. But rollercoasters - the adrenalin rush after that fear - nothing like it. Now I will relate my life to that so when I feel like things are too much I will just imagine myself as being on that precipice on Oblivion looking into the black hole and think about that rush that comes with getting to the bottom.

Thank you

lionheartedgirl

you are very welcome. It's a film I love and haven't seen in ages, and that quote has been whistling round my head all day too. I'm on the verge of making massive decisions about my future (nothing new there!) so it couldn't have come at a better time.

While I remember, you missed it for MrC's birthday this year, by just a couple of days believe it or not, but when you posted about him loving bikes, I thought of the Aberdare Road Races as you are in Wales. I didn't post as it had already passed for the birthday thing, but then I felt that it could be good for next year (although by then you will be living and working and having a wonderful time in Austria so it may be too far for a holiday ) so google it and pop it in your diary for next year.

It will be quite a thrill just watching, I am a bike racer girl but have never done any racing on public roads, but oh boy how much would I like to! We don't have many races on roads on the mainland, just Aberdare and Scarborough.

Hope you survived the teleconference! *sneaks over to Pippi's thread to check out picture of house*

MrsMoo2U

Lion, you can find a whole post with links to the house in my blog.

The Halfords Tour series (I think it was that) came through the town near to me a few weeks ago. We went to watch that - very exciting. Aberdare is over 2 hours from me so if we were still here and to go I would probably camp for the weekend. Thanks for that.

Sounds like good things are on the horizon for you too.

Isn't it rather freaky too that Lionheartedgirl and I posted out quotes at the same time. It's like we knew to! Spooky! (It must be all that talk of ghosts and psychics over my side of the fence!)

Cheri, loved your story about your Nan. I really did laugh aloud as I can totally imagine John Bishop incorprating that into his set. In fact I think you must call him up right now and haggle over it!

I hope your week is beginning to slow down a bit and you get to splash about in your wellies or curl up on the sofa as you see fit.

MrsMoo2U

Thanks Nic. I tell it so much better than I write it, always has everybody in stitches. Love that kind of humour anyway. My ex used to get embarrassed by me when we met new people and I went into my comedienne mode. If only I was clever/brave/witty/silly enough to do that for a living, I would love it.

Week has definitely slowed down and turned into a curl up on the sofa kind of a day. Mr C has taken himself back to bed as he has become used to doing on a Saturday afternoon. Cant be doing with that myself.

So I just spotted the Orange Film Thursday on Martin's newsletter, I may well investigate that this week although not sure that "the wrestler" appeals to me.

Feeling a bit bored.............. but bored enough to do my personal filing and shredding I wonder?

Well, I am usually that up to date that it wouldn't have helped but this weekend I am very behind so I spent an hour on it and now it is done.

Been for a walk along the prom. Grey but I do love a brooding seascape. Sadly I just found out that somebody fell from the cliffs last week and died, a second person had to be rescued by air sea rescue and is in holiday. Funny how you start to take things for granted when you live in a place I used to think that particular spot was scary, now I often just potter along the coastal path without thinking twice.

I was VERY good in town, I was tempted by 3 dvds on the cheap shelf - Eat,Pray,Love,(£4) Marley and Me, (£3)and Little Miss Sunshine.(£4) Stood with them in my hand umming and ahhing then put them back so that will be £10 to the pig then. Also I was VERY VERY good in Millets where I saw a £249 tent reduced to £70. It had 2 bedrooms (well Moo would have to have his own room). Stood there pondering and then we agreed to think on it and come back but we forgot to go back (CC breathed a sigh of relief). Note to self take the CC out of the purse (only there when I go away for work for emergencies and not put back in the box yet).

Phew, close calls there then. So today has been a NSD. Now home and having a fresh coffee (better than £3.00 in the Upper Limit ) and home made spiced fruit loaf (£2 a slice in the Upper Limit):j:j:j:j

Just thought that I would have a look back at my diary over the last year (and my previous one). My first ever diary post was

have more than enough for my needs BUT I really WANT a landrover

My challenge (and I do choose to accept it) is to pay off £15000 worth of credit card debt I will break it into smaller chunks and set targets for each. Then I can start saving for a Landrover. I do know that my target for a deposit on a landrover is September 2011. There I have put it out to the universe so it will happen



Enough procrastination. Time for me to start my own diary. Having been inspired by several peoples diaries on here(I will credit them at appropriate points), or should I say shamed into giving myself the well earned Kick up the Behind needed for some time now, I thought that if I started a diary I might actually get a little way towards achieving my lust for a landrover. Believe me with a partner that lives away most of the time lusting after a landrover is not as bad as I could get

Yes, I admit it, I have a weakness for the big ugly gas guzzlers, so much so I take myself over to the garage on a regular basis to just wander around and look at them. Well a girl can dream. I have absolutely no chance of owning one if I carry on the way I am so this is my challenge. If I get organised to pay off some debts and save a deposit I can get one.

Now it isn't as indulgent or bad as it sounds. You see I live in rural Wales and own a great dane. Now I dont care how cute people say he looks in the back of my fiesta I really think he needs a bit more space to sit back and enjoy the ride.

So my mantra has always been "I have more than enough for my needs" but the last couple of years have seen immense changes in my life and due to those changes I have gotten myself into a position of debt which I have never had before. I know, people always find excuses for debt but believe me when I say that I am not a spendthrift and my debt is very firmly gained with my head screwed on at the time and for reasons other than enjoying myself. I will reveal all when I get my head around an SOA and my current complicated domestic situation.

So if anybody wants to jump aboard or tailgate then feel free to do so. I believe in listening to all suggestions, no matter how stupid they may seem and hopefully I can meet some new friends and be influenced along the way.

Oh, I just wanted to add that I recently started to read Knitwits diary. She likes quotes and I felt like I found a kindred spirit - my friends get fed up with my quotes so, if Knitwit doesnt mind, I will steal her idea and put a quote of the day on my diary to inspire me.

With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.

Oh dear, no landrover (target was Sept 2011, not paid off the debt - increased it temporarily ) but I do have an Austrian Schloss :rotfl::rotfl:

Schlosses are good! We like schlosses ... you're building, thats the thing.
