This week has been almost totally uneventful, which is almost entirely due to my own doing. My energy has been totally sapped for some reason, and although EFT has helped quite a lot, I’ve still had massive amounts of writers block and spent most of my time at work yawning and making yet more coffee. Still, Things I Love Thursday is about the positives, and it certainly hasn’t all been bad!
* Finding things I forgot I had – whilst looking for some DVDs (ones that aren’t mine and which I thought I didn’t have, but later found in a box on top of my bookshelves), I found lots of things I thought had gone missing when moving house, including various books I’d almost completely forgotten I had!
* Pay Day - I’m intending to buy myself something impractical and ridiculously sparkly!
* Work Experience - It’s all set up and I have the time booked off work, I’m going to be shadowing a solicitor in Kent for a week, it feels like a big step on the way to my future career. (Though I’m going to require some more shirts and / or smart tops to wear with suits!)
* My Charm Bracelet – I’ve found the box of charms I started to collect years ago, they’re a little tarnished but they’ll be fabulous after a proper clean-up, I’ll post a photo of it when they’re all attached!
* My Daily Cute Calendar - Kittens, bunnies and other assorted cuteness every day! What could be better?
* Making an Effort – Dressing properly for work, not just throwing anything on. Putting my makeup on at home before work, not on the bus, eating a balanced breakfast at home and taking my vitamins every day, rather than a cupcake at my desk and vitamins when I remember. It all makes for a much better day!
As usual, writing this has really cheered me up and forced me to see the positive in an otherwise not particularly great week. Things I Love Thursday really is a fabulous exercise in positive thinking and really helps me to keep focussed on the good things.
What’s made your week that little bit better?
Hi, I’m new to your blog
- Finding lots of beer can holders! I’m doing an art project with them which will hopefully end up as a huge installation – It’s going to look sweeet!
- My new piercings. I haven’t had a piercing for a while, and I got some snakebites last friday.
- Glass workshop. I’ve never worked with glass before and it turns out I’m pretty good at it!
- Sunshine, wind, the winter warming up.
- Hot baths with Lush sparkles!
- I’m going to see one of my favourite bands (MSI) tomorrow!
I do love TILT!!! And don’t worry about the blogger’s bloc, it happens to us all. I took a 2 week break whilst I was at home due to lack of internet, revision and slight bloc, but I was itching to blog by the end of it! It’s a way of life now…
Just wondering if you’d covered Equity and Trusts yet in your GDL? I just would like some opinion that it gets better (we’ve had one lecture on it so far and the workshop work is v confusing).
Loving:
–Netflix! I’m so glad to have access to good films; there’s no film rental place by my house, and I’ve been feeling the crunch for awhile. Later today I’m going to watch Palindromes!
–My puppy. He’s a handful but he always makes me feel better.
–Tidying my room. Which is what I’ll be doing before I watch Palindromes.
–Breakfast dates with Twitter friends! I met one of my Twitter friends in real life for the first time yesterday, and I’m really impressed with him. We talked about writing (he’s a blogger too), Philadelphia (he lives there now), music (he’s got a music collection that rivals mine), and bicoastal travel (which both of us are doing later this year).
Fun stuff!
Yay for Payday!!!!!
Have a TiLT list as well (http://iamthemostofthemoment.blogspot.com) – which features many sparklythings that I’d love to get my hands on.

You should still be able to sport rollerskates!!
oxoxoxo
Impractical sparkly purchases are the very best kind! I bought a sequinned beanie at the markets the other day…. <3
Yaaaay buying something fun and sparkly! My recent fun purchase is a super badass black leather BCBG bag that I got for 70% off. (I know! 70% OFF!!) Hope you buy yourself something lovely, my dear. <3
can’t wait to see your rediscovered charm bracelets!
sorry you had sort of a bad week toots. Here’s to a wonderful weekend. Show us your shopping finds!
Ooh, can’t wait to see the charm bracelet.
I wanted one so badly when I was younger and I’ve always been a bit enchanted by them.
Re: making an effort, I love how much better I feel when I’ve done those things you list. Dressing nicely reminds me of a friend of mine who always dresses up for exams (she swears she does better, and I believe it).
I need to get back to posting TILT’s. Thanks for the reminder.
