Okay, so its only quarter to 3. Okay, so its Mariah - again. But I have a perfect legitimate reason.
My day hasn't been a particularly memorable one. Having a moaning cow all through break and lunch, having Business in 2 completely different rooms without a long break this morning, and being kicked out from seeing Isobel at the end of lunchtime. The moany cow bit still came in. Especially when she asked Katie to 'kill me'. Find someone who cares, if you're reading this.
I got home, to find no-one in, but did enjoy my cinammon swirl-drip coffee combo from Starbucks. Came upstairs, powered on my laptop and planned to do a load of Christmas shopping. But what do I find in my inbox?!
An email from Amazon telling me Mariah's album has been delayed - again.
Now I'm really really REALLY looking forward to this album, and have been since April, when it was properly revealed. We left America the week before it was released in the States, but I figured that it would be okay, as its only released two days later here. Oh, how wrong I was.
As we got back, it was delayed till the end of September - the 25th to be precise. I didn't think that was too bad. Then there was a problem with promotion for her in the UK, so everywhere else got the album, but here. It was delayed till October, then again till the beginning of November. Release date was finally set at November 16th, and has been that for a good couple of months.
But now, after deciding to appear on Alan Carr's Chatty Man, doing something for 4Music, and appearing on Strictly Come Dancing, she wants an extra week. So it has been pushed back to November 28th. Great.
Mariah, I love you to bits, but sort it out!

Thursday 5th November 2009 - Fireworks
Probably one that a lot of people can relate to.
FIREWORKS, invented by the Ancient Chinese, have developed over years to become bigger, better and brighter. But for some reason, last night, I felt a lot of sadness! And I've worked out why.
I've gotten older! Suddenly, watching fireworks at the age of 16 isn't as special as watching them when you're 6. When you can't see where they're coming from, and the magic happens in the sky, not the big white van attached to the speakers and the keyboard to send them off. In fact, I was more interested in the man with the MacBook than the fountain in the corner!
Of course, seeing Isobel was a bonus, and seeing all my friends and having a good night was the main factor. But seriously, the fireworks need to improve even more at Blueharts if you want us to keep coming back! We will eventually just go for nostalgic reasons, not for enjoyment!

Wednesday 4th November 2009 - Wind
A long day. Its been really long...
Up early, ready by 8, wander into school, 2 hours of long long English lessons, then an hour off, which was alright, then a horrific afternoon of being bored, fed up and very agitated in Business Studies.
And every time we got outside, it was windy. Every single time. The rain started up, but we avoided it luckily, but the wind still didn't let up. I swear if we didn't have good enough grip on our shoes we'd have taken off.
It was worse this afternoon than at lunchtime, and at least I don't have to go out again tonight. Still, massively aggrevating!

Tuesday 3rd November 2009 - Coffee
Now, it sounds very bizarre to dedicate today to COFFEE, but its being done.
I've become quite addicted to coffee since the weekend. I don't know why, but I have. I love coffee, and having more and more of it isn't good, but my God, its a decent breakfast!
A lot of people grind the beans, and drink it black, cos it 'tastes better'. Me? Well, in the morning, its 2 spoons of instant coffee, followed by 2 of sugar and a little bit of milk. Then turn the kettle off just before it boils so you can drink it straight away. In the evening though, it becomes decaf!
And I've drunk too much this week I think. Its only Tuesday.
COFFEE, you are the Day Dedicatee for Tuesday 3rd November 2009.
(P.S. I got the job! Not as many hours as I would have liked, but I start on the 26th, work on a Saturday, and three nights a week. Would have loved to keep it going beyond Christmas, and on a Sunday, but they don't want me! Hey ho!)

Monday 2nd November 2009 - French Accents
Allo.
Yooou maight beee wondereeng why I em tawkeeng een a funny accxent. Eet ees beecors weee are aveeng a cheesy Frwench accxent night on Sateerday.
And if I have to write any more like that, it is going to kill me.
Now I'm very excited for Saturday night - the fact we all have to wear pink is a bit of an adventure, a whole night of sitting with Isobel watching Pink Panther, and a Frwench accxent to fit it all too. And we can't stop either. Which could hurt my throat.
I tried it today. I had a cheese grater in my mouth after an hour. Imagine 5?!
CHEESY FRENCH ACCENTS, you are the Day Dedicatee for Monday 2nd November 2009.
(PS. No news from Waterstone's just yet, a call hopefully tomorrow. Will keep you posted! Au revoir!)

Sunday 1st November 2009 - Mulled Wine Candles
Start a new month with a bang!
Mulled wine candles......
I shall explain. Now I love having a Christmas smell in my room - whether it be a spray, a plug-in, a stand-up - whatever. But they didn't have this one out yet, so we got a candle! And it didn't smell until we lit it. Now my whole room smells all Christmasy!
And I can tell its getting to Christmas. Was in town with Isobel today - freezing! Needed another layer - was already wearing 3! And Starbucks launch their red cups next week, so the good ole gingerbread latte returns!
And this Waterstone's job I told you about? Find out tomorrow or Tuesday. Very anxious, was really hopeful until earlier, where I smiled at Allison (lovely boss lady) and she gave me a timid 'hello' back - good or bad news?! Let me know....

Saturday 31st October 2009 - Formula 1
The good old F1.
It was qualifying today, and it was the only thing that kept me going. No Isobel, no large bar of chocolate, and Willby for the evening, I had that hour of heaven to enjoy between hours of work.
Lewis won, and Jenson has walked it. But the Yas Circuit - wow. Just incredible. I have to go there soon.
F1, Saturday 31st October 2009 is the day you get Day Dedicateed!
