Ak! Lughnasadh (Harvest) this weekend, Anniversary in 4 days, then St. Vals. Also, pagan mum's group on the 8th, and balloon release on the 24th.
And I haven't done anything towards any of them. And I really just want to sit here on my arse in my comfy jammies. My life is so hard I get to play with a baby all day, read and go out for lunch, like one of those real lady types (which Bec and I did yesterday, because she had the day off waiting on the cremation people to come get her kitty )
Seriously, I love my life, I'm just feeling lazy. Probably the shit weather. Which makes no sense, because it was pretty roasty-toasty yesterday. Get it together Sydney!
You know what is awesome? Tomorrow I'm getting all this stupid annoying hair hacked off and I will regain my sanity. I should die it today in preparation. If I can somehow get Isis to sleep more than ten minutes without me being there. She's been so clingy the past few days. Like yesterday, she didn't need me to hold her, she just wanted me to sit on the lounge beside her while she napped. Every time I got up to cook dinner she put her face on, but if I sat beside her and read (not even giving her any attention) she was happy. Yeah, didn't get much done yesterday that's for sure. And yes, I loved it. So what?
What isn't awesome is I have no clue what to give Obi for our anniversary. No idea at all. Zip. Nada. I'm usually pretty awesome at gifts but I've left this so long I doubt I could even ship something in. Lame. Oh Crap! It just occurred to me that we have an unused Red Balloon that expires on the 6th. There, just blasted Obi a text at work. I have a love/hate with gift vouchers. I seem to only use them when they are about to expire, if at all. It's a complete waste of money :/ Yet they always seem like a wonderful idea, especially the experience gifts. (The one in question was a wedding gift)
Bec said she'll watch Isis for our Anni, but also told me I'm gay for planning a night in. Maybe I am. Think I'm getting old. And the thing is, with the meal I'd like to make, it'll cost about the same as going out. Granted, there will be more of it... but more effort too. I don't know. It's only a first Anni anyway, I've got years ahead of me to make up for any lameness. Thinking of lame. I own fairy lights that are pink feathers. Totally going to make a heart over the bed with them for the whole month of Feb. I should do this today.
Maybe I should be super gay, get dressed up fancy, buy him some flowers and meet him on the way home from work! The embarrassment potential is high, I'd have to make sure I'm at the right stop and everything at the right time.... I could get him to meet me for a romantic walk around the harbor (thus wont somehow miss him and stand there for an hour like a dick), maybe have a cocktail and appies then head back for dinner.
That has potential. Yay brainstorming!
This would be way easier if it didn't land on a Tuesday.
Where is my gift muse? Probably at the pub getting drunk.
o.O Wait! What if I did that photo of words thing that people on here have been doing - using my wedding vows! Simple, inexpensive, effective! Hmm, but we have so many wall things already that we can't hang because we rent. I wish I could just buy him more jewelery, but I'm running out of things I can give him. He's not a girl, doesn't have piercings, and people already mistake him for homosexual. Damn. Something will come to me. Something good, hopefully.
ETA -
Ok, so Anniversary gift down Embarrassingly I narrowed it down to two different styles of the same thing (Which I wont say here, just in case ) and then I got overwhelmed and couldn't decide... so I bought both, and he can choose one and the other we can re-gift or in three years when the one he likes wears out he will have a back up. I annoy myself.
What are you gonna do with your hair? And what color will it be? I'm thinking I should go blue.... Just to shock some people
