One of the problems with going on holiday is that you don't have your familiar bed to sleep in, so generally sleep is broken or not as restful. Therefore you feel tired at the end of the holiday.
The other major problem with going on holiday is that it doesn't last and you have to come home.
Highlights of the weekend:
Font of Fame madness....so much of it.
Onesie club represent.
DVD sale at Levin Warehouse. (Breakfast at Tiffany's, Animatrix, The Big Hit, Die Hard 3, Vanity Fair) Die Hard was for Lee.
Relaxing in the sun with girly chat.
Watching all of Under the Mountain back to back. I really liked it, although it hasn't dated super well, the story is still tight. Go the guys acting as Wilberforces, they were awesome.
Actually managing to get a couple of pages of new stuff written and doing some editing of the working draft of Kiki once Lee had finished his copy editing, despite having interesting friends to talk to at all times.
Being in such a dark, quiet place. Nothing like silence at night time. I am also, strangely, very happy to come home to the middle of the city and look out at all the cars and people and hear the noise.
I am also pleased to come home to my bath.
I had terrible food in between meals all weekend, chippies, burger rings, chocolate, lollies, and skipped breakfast every day. I did have good food at meal times though and managed a salad a day to balance it out.
Last night I made s'mores based on Amphigori's instructions, using Round Wine biscuits, dairy milk chocolate and flaming marshmallows. Om nom nom. Couldn't eat more than two though and they may have lead to an all night belly ache. Still totally worth it.
Really enjoyed this
Oprah's tips for getting the life you want article Gala Darling linked to. Must try that accepting the negative feeling and letting it dissipate thing.
Also I found on the positivity blog this neat list of questions you can ask yourself to keep on track to the life and attitude you want.
Also via Gala, this astounding project where the Photographer takes a picture every day for 18 years until he dies.
ETA: Looks like my latest baby quilt is being enjoyed very much already!
