A month of glitter, mist & vampires...

I could see my breath this morning. Clouds of wispy white mist left my mouth as I hurried down to the station to make my way to work. I walked through the park, carefully avoiding fallen branches, mulched leaves and the masses of conker shells scattered all over the paths, whilst feeling the cold bite my fingertips. October is in full swing and Summer already seems like a distant memory.

I have been feeling a bit down over the last week or so. But I am hoping that going away for a few days this week will lift my spirits. It is so easy to feel down and then let the unhappiness linger – so I am going to do my best to not wallow and snap right out of it.

I went to see the All American Rejects the other night. They were brilliant. The music was amazing. The sound was tight and the set list was really good. Plus Tyson Ritter kitted out in a chieftain headdress and a very glittery chest was definitely a fun sight to watch. He is also hilarious. I have never laughed so much at a music concert before. It was great. I am so glad I went.

I have also recently finished reading all 4 novels in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I read them back to back and enjoyed them immensely. I esp. liked the last book Breaking Dawn, the ending was excellent. I really like how it played out like a game of chess. I love the way that throughout the series you can really see the characters develop and mature. The books sweep you in to their own little universe and you experience the journey fully like you are actually there. Once I started reading I could not put them down and I read the series in less than a week. I really enjoyed them and they left me wanting more.

My ice skating is going well. My two foot spins are really coming along and I feel quite confident on the ice. It helps that my instructor is totally sweet and helpful & seems to always find a way to break a move down to me so that I am able to understand what I need to do. She is also very patient.
I really feel that my ice skating and horse riding is helping me to be less of a klutz – never a bad thing.

I am off to watch Season two of Brothers & Sisters...

Later!

Bob: “You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.”
