i thoughts - a love affair

at my home sweet home 

i love - instagram. my love affair and affection for my little blog has been fully overshadowed by this iphone wonder app. However, i have decided that a little more self reflection and thought is needed in my life, so C&P is back. Nothing major, just one of these quick little posts every now and then.

i want to achieve - inner peace and kindness, i tried meditation last night for the first time. It was pretty great. I can see a happier more content me on the horizon.

i am listening to - not a great deal, i prefer to read these days but i adore this sweet song. Seeing them live was a huge highlight of 2011.


i am craving - some mumma love, heading home for mothers day tomorrow.

i wish - that work was a little less hectic, early morns and late train rides home are taking their toll.


i hate it when - people sneeze/cough on the train and don't cover their mouth, wtf??? I can see sickness coming my way over winter.

i am happy - that i now live my dearest love, life is grand.

i want to buy - some pretty stockings, this print and this print, actually i kind of want the whole store!  

i have to share - this documentary i showed my class last week. Amazing. Yes, i am a mega science geek.

i thoughts

i love - my dear friend Katerina @kitty litter. She gave me this sweet little award. I have decided to share the love and pass it on to some of my long time blog loves and friends. In no particular order:

* lemon rhodes  * everyday miracles *my pangaloon  *home is where the ❤ is  
*muffins in my backpack 

Read about it here & here and have a little peek at these special blogs. 


i dislike - train rides to work, in a fully packed carriage, with a sneezing lady next to me spreading her germs. Yuck!

i want to achieve - organisation and planning for all my classes this week and next week.

i am listening to - active child. I saw him at the begging of this month and wow what a voice. Perfection. my youtube channel - and my loving right now mix   


i am craving - tuna and coffee flavored milk. Weird... 

i wish - i had more time to take photos.... and blog.... and ride my bike...

i am happy - to be hanging out with my dear Wayno tonight, watching documentaries and sipping cups of tea. 

i want to buy - this bag & this bag


i have to share - a little clip that i keep watching over, and over, and over. It is just too cute

i thoughts

i love - my iPhone photo apps. I keep finding new ones that are pretty amazing. My newest addition is Picture Show

i dislike - deadlines and due dates

i want to achieve - something constructive before i head off to work

i am listening to - unkle heaven

i am craving - a wonderful, amazing cup of fresh coffee 

i want forever - happy days and a lot of love

i wish* - i could be a little bit more productive, a little bit happier and a little bit more carefree. My wishy washy future options are getting me down big time..... i wish for happy thoughts.

i am happy - for early morning overseas phone calls. Miss you so much dear friends. 

i want to buy - all of these beautiful calanders paperboatpress, eye poetry, polaroid-calendar, whimsical-daydreams, lolas-room

*Oh dear i sound so sad.... i needed to get the negative out of me and into the big www...  I have to keep remembering - It is not a bad life, it is just a bad day.

i thoughts

i love - rosehip tea, crunching honey and eucalyptus lollies and Madmen season 2 (especially Don Draper... i love and hate him at the same time.)


i admire - my love, goodness he works so very hard.


i dislike - the huge pile of dirty towels that need washing. 


i want to achieve - composure and a healthy, positive mindset.


i am reading  - about enzymes (did you know we can't sustain life without them?... Tricky little things they are!)


i am craving - blissful nothingness (sometimes i wish i didn't care) and a Joanie hair do.


i want to change - many things. The length of my 'to do list'. The time i have to take photos which is currently at 0. The guilt i feel from not succeeding and being on top of every aspect of my life. My desire for things that can not be at the moment.


i want for tomorrow - motivation and a very active, capable brain.


i want forever -something along the lines of this and this is just so true


i am happy - that my Mumma and nephews are visiting next week, and that i just ordered some Instagram prints! In a little book and stickers!  

i thoughts

i love - discovering lane ways full of beautiful street art.

i admire - more like admiring... and wanting... and need to have... one of these.

i dislike - that i am blogging, when i should be studying.

i want to achieve - balance.

i am reading  - ummmmm my new blog!I have crossed to the dark side... yep a tumblr.... and i must say i really like it. Perhaps a little too much. Like i needed another thing to be addicted to. 

i am craving - a hug from ma.

i want to change - the current state of the house, huge mess surrounding me.

i want for tomorrow - smiles.

i want forever - sweet memories.

i am happy - that it is my last semester of uni.

i am grateful - for the yesterdays that have made my today so wonderful


The little quote tag is from instinct and grace. 

i thoughts

i love - editing photos.

i admire - hard workers. 

i dislike - that i over think everything! And make them into issues in my little mind... Last night i was convinced something dreadful had happened to my Ma... Two days and she hadn't answered the phone. Turns out she was out... with friends... being normal... unlike me :(

i want to achieve - i say it all the time but i really want to be content with me, everyday, and not question my ability to achieve the goals i have in place. 

i am reading  - nothing of interst to the general population. Biochemistry notes.... i LOVE enzymes. Nerd.

i am craving - beer, ciggie, beer, salt and vinegar chips..... repeat. 

i want to change - my schedule, i am all over the place. I need some order.

i want for tomorrow - sunshine and happy thoughts.  

i want forever - this one is bothering me..... i am not in the mood to answer this today. 

i am happy - for a breakfast catch up with three ladies i miss so much.

i am grateful - for a few days off to visit my ma and meet a precious little bundle of adorable.  

i thoughts

i love that i got my good camera out the other day, i have missed her. Photos to come.

i admire my Ma.  Three days post hip replacement and she is up walking around and showering herself.  Its amazing how well she is coping.  

i dislike spiteful, nasty people. Its just not necessary. Keep your hate to yourself please. 

i want to achieve completion of this semesters marking. These histology exams are taking me forever.  Mega drainer.

i am reading (going to start reading) My new book club book - The Slap

i am craving couch time, movie watching, home made sweet treats, vanilla milkshake and some time with friends (i miss them). 

i want to change my waistline - almost 3 months of not smoking has left me 3.5 kg heavier.  Not happy.  It must go really soon.  Detox can start.... Monday.  Why do i always plan these things for Mondays?

i want for tomorrow to relax and just be, no deadlines or have to do lists.  

i want forever that happy with my life, blissful love, butterflies in the tummy feeling  

i am happy that i reconnected with a dear friend. 

i am grateful for hot cups of coffee, warm cuddly jumpers, long showers, brown creaming soda, flowers (not gerberas, i kind of hate them...), clouds, the radio (jjj i love you!), and the new Bon Iver album (so amazing beautiful).  

Happy weekend dearest ladies and maybe gents (i wonder if guys read my blog?)

Linking up with Maxabella loves today to share my grateful for things.

i love that tomorrow is my hope party.   I feel so blessed to have the wonderful support of my dearest friends and a few random people.  I have raised $180 so far. The other day I received a donation from an anonymous person: 

"I guess I sometimes forget how lucky I am that I don't have to worry about where I'm going to sleep tonight or where my next meal will come from. Sometimes I forget and I say things in the moment that. It isn't until later that I realise and I remember that not everyone is as lucky as I am. I hope this can help people who need it more than I do." 30th May 2011

Thank you so much, whoever you are.  I greatly appreciate it. It made my day, I could not stop smiling for ages x

i admire people that are organised. 

i dislike my chilblains. ouch.  they hurt. 

i want to achieve all the things i put on my big life/thoughts/living list the other day.  Its too big to reapeat again.  I currently have only crossed off two episodes of Grey's Anatomy (they were wonderful).  

i am reading my stuents reports, assignments and exams.

i am craving a big breakfast complete with poached eggs, bacon, hash browns and mushrooms.  Yum

i want to change my productivity.  Today i can and i will get everything done.   

i want for tomorrow hope party happiness 

i want forever wonderful memories

i am grateful for personal reflection, for the sun shining and for the truth of the words in the quote above.

p.s thanks so much for the comments on my thoughts the other day xx

Just wanted to share:
I think i am a little emotional today.  This blog made me so sad and happy at the same time.  What a brave and amazing little girl. 

thoughts

i love the survivor final (every season i get sucked in!), rosehip tea, homemade dinner deliveries from my loves ma and my electric blanket

i admire people that believe in themselves

i dislike all things uni related, essays, reflections, journal articles and group assignments

i want to achieve completing the remainder of the semester without a mental breakdown

i am reading my placement reflections and assessment criteria

i am craving some exercise (very weird for me)i am so sick of sitting at my desk

i want to change heaps of things, all related to the previously mentioned uni.... I just want more time and some clarity regarding what these assignments actually are asking me....

i want for tomorrow to walk the dogs, get some washing done(please dont rain), a clear head and a good start on at least one of my assignments. (i wish i didn't have to work)

i want forever hmmmmm this is always the hardest to fill in. honesty from the people i love

i am happy that i had dinner with two wonderful ladies, it was so nice to get out of the house and enjoy some beloved dumplings and a delicious lychee soda. Yum!

p.s i changed my little 'i' picture... i think the other one was a little depressing looking...

i.......

Today.....

i love photos of pretty flowers

i admire passion

i dislike the late nights studying that are becoming very frequent. Its not cool when you go to wipe mascara off.... only to realise its dark bags around your eyes.....

i want to achieve a wonderful week on teaching rounds, i have so much to learn from my amazing mentor. Fingers crossed for a good lesson tomorrow morning, double biology period 1&2. I just finished my lesson plan.... must get to bed very soon.

i am reading the year 11 and 12 biology text, biology related websites and of course my favourite blogs. Bookclub book is not getting done again this month.... not happy

i am craving a lazy day free of responsibility, dumplings (i crave these almost every day), a night out with my amazing friends that i havent seen for ages (miss your pretty faces)

i want to change my productivity... these late nights and early mornings are ridiculous. There must be a way to get it done quicker????

i want for tomorrow a smooth running day full of learning

i want forever to never study again! This is it, uni is done come October!!

i am happy for my dear friends band, they won a competition last night. So very proud of you, you guys were amazing. (new addition to the 'i' list)

i...

Today..

i love that i have people in my life that are super supportive and so very kind. Thank you dear Karly for my 'congratulation on quiting smoking for two weeks plus' flowers.  Too sweet x

i admire dedication  

i dislike my headache.  Please go away soon, i need to concentrate and study.

i want to achieve believing in myself more often.  Sometimes i take the route of self pity and misery.  I can do it and i am good enough! 

i am reading blogs and uni notes.... not The Diary of Anne Frank like i am supposed to be for bookclub

i am craving a sleep in, mums lamb roast, watching a good movie and a lazy weekend.

i want to change the mess around the house, it stresses me out.  Why oh why am i so messy?  

i want for tomorrow a surprise 

i want forever to be healthy
