The Mammies

Slan!

April 14, 2011

I just realised that I stopped posting in this waaaay back in Oct! You could take that to mean I’ve been so busy out living life that I’ve had no time to update! Which is partly true. What is more true is that life has become so settled for me , there’s no point in me recounting my day to day events for you…It was fun whilst the teenager was making everything difficult…that was the point on this journal after all. I still don’t know whether I’ll ever let her read it.

She’s 21 going on 22 now and whilst she’s aware of how difficult she was, its one thing to accept it, its another thing entirely to read about it on a public place.

So I guess this is it! Time to say slan agus beannacht!

Living in the moment…

October 13, 2010

The mates S and A have been raving about this book called The Power of Now or something. I really wish A would change her name to something beginning with M so we could shock our mates. Anyhew, this book states the bleedin obvious as far as I am concerned. We should try to live more in the moment instead of constantly looking forward and planning and wishing and so on. Blah etc. I’m not a fan of self help books espeically if they state what we already know. Perhaps they work for other people and if so excellent. I’ll work away myself thanks :) So living in the now, its very very hard. I am a planner, I plan everything, given half the chance I’d plan a spontatenous night out. That’s how bad I am. At the moment for example the kid has moved into her place with her man and I am trying to enjoy having the place back to ourselves. But then my brain wanders off and starts re-arranging her room even though she hasn’t half the stuff moved out yet? I mean, do I want to be moving a chair into her room as she walks out with books? It would look very like here’s your hat where’s your hurry. So I am trying.

She’s happy out at the moment, trying to get stuff sorted. Our bank account is not so happy out, its doing push ups just to keep up with her. She got all the essentials at the weekend and now we’re trying to organise moving the rest of the boyf’s stuff from his house and get them set up with bb. The essentials like ;) I told her we’d get her a flat screen telly for christmas as we were planning on getting her the xbox anyways. They have a small telly she brought from Mam’s house, I am amazed its lasted as long as it has. She seems to be settling well into college, although the cost is unbelieveable. A few weeks ago, she spent the best part of 200 euros on materials and this week another 150. Thank god for the college account. We’d be broke. Seriously, the idea of free education is just that, an idea. She had her first assigment last week and will get her grade this week. As its continous assessment, she needs to get a good mark for the first year which I’m sure she will.

In keeping with the live for the moment theme, will share Finale B with you from Rent. As a gay person I am ashamed to see I wasn’t blown away by it having seen it for the first time a few weeks ago. Mammy2 is in love with Idina Menzel so naturally with her playing a bisexual in it, it had to be watched. Its dated I think and the 2 lead characters I have no empathy for at all. But it was worth it for Finale B, Seasons of Love and Take me or leave me performed by Idina and her gf. This song, Finale B, gives me goosebumps:

My latest vice

October 5, 2010

I think I may have mentioned before about being a big Glee fan? I know, I know, who isn’t :) Seeing as Rizzoli and Isles is on hiatus until next summer, damn TNT, I needed something to keep me going. As it happens, I’m now spoilt for choice cause as well as Glee making an epic return, the Good Wife is back AND thanks to some femslashing live journals, the latest show to peek my interest is Lost Girl. Its a candian show about a succubus who just happens to be hot. Oh and bi, well really anything sexual ;) We watched the first episode last week and have to catch the next few but there is definetly chemisty between her and the lovely doc:

Seriously, those 2 could start fires all over!

Apparently, the doc is going to be in more then a few episodes, I read somewhere about a love triangle between Bo, her and the
annoying cop werewolf fella.

I am in love with this woman’s voice..
