Stairs, Biscuits and Sludge

It has been too long!! Aside form my hideous segway creation I have been completely useless in the update ways.

There has been so much going on. A trip to the Ooo K see my mum and brother… to show off my ever growing bump, scans of said bump and other general baby related activities.

I am also innately lazy so there is always that to throw into the mix. The general lackadaisical attitude remains, but there is something else about me these days. A new found determination, focus or something. Perhaps it is the impending arrival… There is no harm in being a skint, hobo, dreamer when it is you alone who may have to sacrifice those beautiful shoes or forgo the fifth muffin on your lunch break. I had always envisaged my family in a nice house (with stairs), a scruffy garden filled with flowers and plenty of places to dig and build dens, money enough to go on holiday puddle jumping. I’m not talking plasma TV, ice making fridge money, just enough to provide the basics with some biscuits on the side.

The urgency was not there for me to attain these things for myself, but now I have someone else to look out for, you can consider this little lady’s arse seriously kicked.

The prospect of dragging my self into this kind of office, doing a job that is entirely inconsequential is no longer terrifying, instead it is a funny. There is no way on earth I will let that happen to me. I would be robbing myself, my child(ren) and Andy of a happy determined woman. I would become sludge.

So in an attempt to avoid become sludge I have finally begun to put my jewellery making back into action. Even more remarkable though is the new “nice Shiv” I have launched. I am trying to exude nice, approachable and interested… sarcastic Shivvers is having a rest. Fear yee not, there will be no PGA meetings for me, but my tongue has been softened ever so slightly. I am
hoping that this can be a temporary adjustment……… I have always liked being cutting and
ruthless but I will have to befriend a new ilk of person….*gasp*…. The ones with children who arrange flowers and crochet. My master plan is to take wine to all such social events, remove all Barry Manilow related paraphernalia and burn tweed. Therein ridding the entire world of all annoying middle-aged petition toting women. Which is the lesser evil I wonder? The former or Drunk, naked, manilow haters? Well either way …Humph*

Tides of Change

Tides of change. So much has happened in my life lately it is hard to know where to start. I have been doing very little… all the events of resent times have happened to me as apposed to requiring my direct involvement. If you’re a Karma kinda person then I must have squashed some ant destined to be the next Buddha, because someone somewhere hates me. Allow me to remind you that I am expecting my baby on the 10 th July, now imagine how it must feel to be told that you have to leave your house by the 30 th June…. All of 10 days before a tiny baby (who I still have no idea how to look after) arrives. That’s right kids – my landlord is a FUCKING ASSHOLE!! We are basically subletting our apartment – sounds like a recipe for disaster I know but in a country where the average rent for a one bed apartment is in the region of £700.00 and the average salary is about £15,000 it’s not exactly a matter of choice. So rich Swede rents flat – said Swede gets tax benefits for being a Gib ...

Afflicted by a bout of the Crazies

Well there it is, I think I might actually be mad . A persons mental state is so hard to gage, the complexities of the human mind are by nature subjective, so how does one define insanity? Admittedly eating pebbles or thinking you are the Dali Lama when in fact you are a supermarket checkout slave is a pretty good indication. But what if you do nothing overtly strange and yet feel like the ground is swallowing you up, like something is sucking at your very existence and willing you to scream at the most inopportune of times? Lately I feel like I have no control over myself, like everything I aspire to be is beyond my grasp. In a world filled with horrors and suffering how is it possible for someone with so much to feel so low? I have roof over my head, I have a genuinely amazing boyfriend and a perfectly adequate job. I think it would be fair to say that there has been some fucked up shit in my life thus far, but in all honesty who can't!! Furthermore I think that my life is comp...

Ohhh one last thing

Look at the lovely Dolphin........... I live right on the beach, and my boyfriend, his family, my little Bro and I were having a BBQ there the other day, and what do you know!!! There in the sea is a dead Freeking Dolphin!!! Belly up dead. Well anyhoo... You know when you do things that you know you are gonna regret??! Well this is one of those occasions! - Andy and I were swimming when we saw the dolphin coming, like a fool I decide that we really ought to go and investigate this fascinating dead flipper. So up we swim, and circle the dolphin. It really was very disturbing. Do you have any idea how much that freaked me out? - yuck. Then later that same day as we are chilling on the sand. People begin to gather (being lazy bastards) we send the children to investigate. Yep, some reprobate has brought the dolphin in on his canoe and every one is just standing there staring and prodding at the corpse. THEN some freak just picks him up and chucks it in the bin. I mean honestly, does that...
