There comes a time in ones life and probably more than once, where it's time to get real and accept defeat.  I once wrote about the bones of where I live being all wrong.  I've done all I can, moved things around, brought things in, thrown things out....it aint working.  Time to accept that no matter what I do, it will never look right, it will never feel right, it will never be right.  Time to stop trawling design blogs, pinterest and tumblr.  Time to close the laptop. 

I've been involved in a couple of conversations recently which have got me thinking about how easily we comment on peoples appearances, maybe more so on women.  One convo was about a well known model and the fact that she has been married for ages, someone questioned why would her husband stray when she was in fact so gorgeous?  How do we know that she is not some mad harpie indoors?  I did in fact see her interviewed a while back and didn't like the way she came across at all.  Then another older famous woman was commented on how rough she looked in real life.  This woman is not a model, not an actress but a presenter.  I find it so sad that we don't seem to be allowed to age anymore.  Finally, when someone mentions someone and I ask what are they like, I am told that they are absolutely stunning.  It doesn't really tell me what this person is like.  Am I really odd, I hope not?

In case I'm ever tempted to diet again..........fucking DON'T!

I miss the days when I first got my own place and all I had to occupy my evenings were the TV, my books and my music.  I love technology, I love Tumblr and Pinterest and following blogs.  I love Facebook and as if that wasn't enough,  I'm even following a few people on Twitter.   I love the way that anyone remotely creative can now have an outlet.  But.....it's all just so time consuming.
