Hey People,

I'm still here - barely! Sorry I've been so inactive, I am looking at stuff I just can't think of things to say!

I'm finding art one of the hardest things to do at the moment... I mean... when I draw it's because I want to and it makes me happy... or I'll draw how I feel or something... but at the moment I just can't seem to do it. I think about the things I should draw, and I think about the things I need to do or even the things I'd wanted to do last month... but I never get any further.

I think it's because drawing is such a solitary thing to do... and I guess my mind always wanders a bit when I do it... I feel more the need to distract myself or do something active... I dunno!

So for some reason I've taken to baking! A long time ago (back when dinosaurs walked the earth) I used to love baking cookies... we had these animal cutters that were so cute I used to love making animal cookies (no animals were harmed in the process) and I recently invested in a mini-muffin tray... so I've become quite taken with baking mini tarts! They're so quick and bite-sized and moreish! I made strawberry jam and lemon curd tarts this evening to take to work tomorrow as a treat for my work friends :]

Now I'm no chef, so these tarts aren't all that pretty to look at... but they're small so that makes them cute - at least in my head!!

I'm also Singing on Saturday! It's been ages since I actually got up and did anything so I hope that'll give me a little lift! :] Me and my family will be singing Christmas songs in concert at the Rock church in Ketley so if you're local (which I doubt because most people I meet on here are from across the ocean) then come along and have a sing song! ^^ We'll try not to massacre your favourite Christmas song!

I'm off to a Christmas concert tomorrow night too! Not performing in that one though!! Just going to watch! It's something of a family tradition to go see this concert! We've been for 4 years now and it's a good laugh! Might feel a little strange and lonely this year but I'm trying not to think about that!

Anyways, it's now 2 minutes to midnight and I've been up since 6 this morning because I did a 12 hour shift at work (Yes I'm certifiably insane - what have I got to loose) and I have to be up again soon so I shall love you and leave you (oh the irony)

I'm also a bit annoyed with work to be honest, they're getting rid of my favourite Adviser (We're not supposed to have favourites but he's lovely - I used to make him cups of tea!) and my self proclaimed uncle/big brother (uncle made him feel old) in finance in London! not happy about that at all... couple that with the fact that Ben leaves the end of the month (going on to better things and leaving me behind) and I've got a lousy December ¬.¬

And now it's 2 minutes past midnight and I'm mad again >.< Lousy jobs!!!
I'm gonna start a petition to make these people stay!!! *shakes fist at company big-wigs* best not name names... might sack me!

Nighty night!
