I have decided, after much thought, that the best way to spend time would be to live during the day at a fabulous bookstore and sleep at night at Anthropologie. Oh, I adore that store.

The summer had passed without a single garden incident; in fact, everything flourished. However, when something disturbing was found on my beautiful flowers today, You Grow Girl came to the rescue. I sopped those bugger mites out and all is calm once again.

Today, tickets were purchased for my trip back to France in February. It's been too long since I've been back. Too long since I've been in a place that I understand.

My four year old niece said to my mum tonight, "Auntie is not a grown-up to Marcy (her two year-old sister) and me. Only to you and mummy." That's about the sweetest thing I've heard in a really long time.

After a month of record temperatures and dryness, a storm finally came in, making the plants happy (they had the rain) the cat happy (she had leaves blowing around to watch) and myself happy (i could finally indulge myself in warm tea and laziness).

I killed a spider last weekend while camping. However I saved a pigeon last month, a duck last week and a dog today, so I'm hoping it'll all balance out and I actually won't go to hell.

With a little cloud, cold air and a laptop, I find myself longing for the cafe. Not so much for the coffee, but for a place to lounge, warm up and daydream just a little whilst working. It's a comfort I used to have and crave once again.

There is nothing sweeter than Norah Jones playing in the background as I work in my little garden while warm rain softly falls. The simplicity of it yeilds me the biggest reward; satisfaction.

The sign of a very good friend: you email her declaring that you need an adventure, a week or two in France and you want her to come. Not only does she shout yes, but she tags on another week to Italy.

After speaking to the receptionist I sat down beside a boy of 5. He stared at me for 10 minutes then said to his mum, "it's her." Embarrassed the mother said to me, "I'm sorry for his staring, but he thinks you're Alice in Wonderland." I smiled at the boy and said, "Close - I'm Alex in wonderland.

I did it, despite the fact I knew it was my best friend's wedding weekend and she needed sun. I did it despite the fact it's cruel. I am prepared to go to hell for smooshing that little spider, but damnit, he shouldn't have been crawling on me. I hate that.

This morning I sat in the reading chair in my long silk nightgown - the one with the little straps that tend to slide off. I held my warm tea with both hands as I looked at the ocean while it too woke up. Amelie was playing in the background and I felt as though I was in my own little French movie and that anything was possible.

Since the day she was born almost 3 years ago, I've waited for the day I could talk to her on the phone and she would talk back. When I rang today she said, "Hi Auntie!" and from there we had a whole conversation about lunch.

Three years after I started, I am sending in the (hopefully) last of my immigration papers to see if they'll let me stay since during my two year probation I've managed to stay away from overthrowing the government and becomming a prostitute. For that I know they should grant me the OK yet I'm back to feeling nervous and unsure all over again.

Robbie Williams reminds me of a whole bunch of blokes I used to hang out with when I was in my early twenties. Sometimes I miss them so much, and sometimes, im just really glad i moved on.

I've said the word "ass" 5 times at work this week. I am so going to get my ass sued one day. Ah damn, there I go again.

Trying to acheive your dream is really hard work. Maybe thats why the world is full of sorry sods who never get theirs. But I'm trying. I'm really trying.

There was u's in the words. They said "zaid" not "zee." They qued in lines. The tea was real. No one was chatty in elevators.

I usually don't have jealous fits, but the girl looks good, has great hair, has style, can act and now I find she can really sing. Damn you Gwenyth... damn you all to hell.

I feel guilty for wanting more than I have right now. But it's not things I want but experiences, sleep and relaxation. Does that justify the greed then?

It's bad when you have the "smelly cat" song stuck in your head. Its really bad when you start to hum it unconciously. But its really really bad when the freak next to you on the bus starts singing harmony.

This whole page has had the paragraphs beginning with "I." How self absorbed am I?

"I wanted you to smell the flowers." "but you frightened me." "I didn't mean to." "why the flowers?" "because you're nice." "and the card?" "because I love you."

I know now, why we're together. On different days, from different stores, we bought each other the exact same wonderful anniversary card - that wasn't even an anniversary card. What made me smile more than that, was what he wrote in his.

I don't get it. Do other people not notice it? What's with american movies and english accents? They're supposed to be french, but they speak with an english accent. Polish? English accent. Argh. The tip of the iceberg is Les Miserable the movie. All really bad english accents. The madness must stop.

I hate when people argue with just emotions and attack personal versus being factual. Especially women. If women could just stick to the facts and get over things, there would be less arguments and they'd take only .45 seconds to settle.

I felt proud. The Final Question in Jeopardy "In 1934 this book had a picture of a crab on the front and the words written "Not yet ready for the USA." They bastards all got it wrong. I knew it was Henry Millers Tropic of Cancer. One of the greatest books of all time, and sitting on my shelf.

In the meantime. How I'm loathing that phrase. To me it means how to kill time until you can do something. But I want to do something now. I can do something now. But unfortunately, now is in the meantime.
