BBQ and Beads

Today was spent not cooking, but being rather naughty and eating out with my boyfriend's family (and not my boyfriend, who had to work, unfortunate bugger).

Being the sucker that I am for chicken, BBQ and pulled pork, it seemed logical to order the chicken and BBQ pulled pork burger... If I'm perfectly honest, I preferred the company to the food. The food was okay, but not spectacular. It really made me appreciate the good foods that can be created in my humble kitchen. And felt like that homemade is best.

This evening was spent ironing together the 'beadsprites' that I had spent yesterday making whilst ignoring the fact that I have an undergraduate dissertation to write. I'm a self-proclaimed professional procrastinator (that's some alliteration for ya!) and if there's something to help me avoid doing what I should be, I'll probably be doing that instead.

After destroying the Mario mushroom that Sam (the boyfriend) had reluctantly lovingly spent time making, I finally managed to get the knack of ironing the damn things.

I made a nice door sign for Sam's nieces which I am extremely pleased with, and I'm currently in the middle of a little retro gaming styled project.

After a good day of food and a touch of shopping, a dark cloud seems to have appeared above my head. It could be because my boyfriend has been left feeling empty. He's been a victim of theft and his (9 day old) bike stolen. So what? Well, not only was the bike his hobby, it was his pride and joy, and with us attempting to be a bit more frugal, his mode of transportation. It's sad to think that some monsters people, feel that it totally acceptable to steal from an individual and it's a crying shame that this individual had worked so hard to earn his brand new bicycle.

I feel sorry for my boyfriend, not only has he been a victim of crime but he has to deal with me - an unorganised, emotional wreck who is panicking about her future, her prospects and her life in general. I'm a mess. 2013 seems to be a perfect time to sit down and have a long talk with myself... It's going to be a big year with my university graduation looming. Here's to hoping I'll get a good grade and a decent job.

I guess I can't procrastinate forever - I have goals to achieve.
