Blogging

Happy New Year everyone!!

I've written some fantastic posts for my blog lately, but they have all been in my head when I've been driving or sitting on a train. Whenever I sit down to write them, I've lost them. Am I losing my mind? I don't think so, and if I was, I don't think that would be the best indicator anyway. Surely a better indicator would be making sure that when I drive to work I park on the same number floor of the multistorey carpark as the floor that I work on, so I only need to remember one number for the lift. Tragic but true.

Anyway, I've been frustrated with not posting, and velvet has saved me with the meme on her site (go visit, the trip is worth it!). So without further ado, here is the three things meme.

1. Three things that scare me
Losing someone I love
Someone finding out that I bluff my way through most of the day and don't really know everything
Waking up to find a stranger in my bedroom

2. Three people who make me laugh (so hard, I can think of many)
Emily's mum - anyone who can make me fall off the chair in tears from laughing deserves a mention
Ehater
My sister

3. Three things I love
Falling asleep listening to waves crashing into the beach
Thunderstorms
Books

Intolerance
Rude customer service

5. Three things I don't understand

Scissors

Half a box of chocolates I was given for my birthday

7. Three things I'm doing right now

Fingers crossed I can actually remember what I want to write soon - maybe next week in my hotel room I'll manage it.
