The day I attempted to eat an entire chocolate selection box.

Hello,

Firstly, a certain person took my 'Cornwall (end of the earth)' comment as a criticism of this wonderful County. It was not. I merely meant I am a very far way down in terms of Great Britain. I love Cornwall. So there. :) And shush.

As you can tell from the title, today has been constructive. Not only did I wake up at 1pm, very unlike me, I have also done absolutely nothing, which makes me feel guilty. I'm very aware that there is a mountain of work that I should be doing before I go back to uni on Weds, but that has been conveniently pushed to the back of my mind. Instead, it was obviously more appealing to eat five bars of chocolate. However, I failed. More of a savoury person me thinks. The point was to be rid of all unhealthiness (is that a word?) so that tomorrow can be the start of my journey to a beautiful body. Probably won't happen, one can hope though eh?

Don't worry, I did more than stuff my face. My friend Miss-I-Love-Collins and I took her dogs for a walk at Lanhydrock, a beautiful National Trust house and grounds/gardens. I feel like I should be wanting to take part in much more exciting activities, but the truth is, at 22, I'd prefer a walk any day. As usual we chatted about love, life, and laughed a lot, but the highlight was the contraption she used to pick up and throw the ball for the dogs. A piece of design genius requiring minimal effort and no bending down, I was quite impressed. It seems there is a world of technology for pets out there. I want a dog. We then washed her car, amused by the person before us who's wing-mirror fell off (death by pressure washer), went back to hers, watched a movie and ate curry. So yes, maybe it was a day of eating. Her mum, one of the most hilarious people I have ever met, introduced me to Martinis made of pure alcohol (she was pissed from two sips, that's how strong!) and shall therefore be named Miss-Martini.

This morning, I discovered that last night I committed a household crime. We have very recently had a gorgeous new wooden floor put in. The kind of home addition that my parents feel the need to be very protective about. And I scratched it with my suitcase when I came home last night. Well, might as well have shot someone. Seriously, I didn't do it deliberately!!! But yes, I did a bad. Doesn't help that it's a massive scratch and in a totally obvious place. Trees-Are-Green (mother) was most unimpressed. Boo.  Made me feel bad so had a bit of play-the-piano therapy, the best kind. Told Miss-Martini (Trees-Are-Green's good friend) to which she replied, post sharp intake of breath... "Ooh you in big trouble!!". So there we are.

It occurred to me today that I should know more words. Especially in my lectures, where I don't have a clue most of the time. So, I'm going to go through the dictionary word by word, and use the ones I don't know in a sentence, one per day. However... somehow... I have misplaced my dictionary, which means I shall have to search for it/buy a new one and start tomorrow. Never mind, the intention is there. It also occurred to me that I have been single for a whole one year and four months. Yup. That's right. Me, single, FOREVER!!! Where are the eligible men?

Well, we shall see what 2011 brings. You best be good 2011!!!

Enough from me,
