This is me, now (August review)

It's been a funny old month. I think this review reflects that!

Listening... AFI (Mike's favourite band). And that's been about it really.
Reading... New Moon. Yes, you read correctly, I picked it up again on holiday!
Watching... Same as last month mostly. EastEnders (as always!), Big Brother, Who Do You Think You Are?, and I also saw a really good BBC1 documentary t'other day called "Small Teen, Big World". I like watching things like that.
Buying... Ummm have spent far too much! Beauty: Urban Decay's NYC Book of Shadows, Urban Decay's Naked palette. Lots of nail stuff. Jewellery: Two gorgeous necklaces from Love Suzie Jewellery. Blogposts coming up on all of these v. soon!
Wanting... To turn the clock back. I wish I could take the pain away for Aunty Sue, Uncle Tim and Tom :(
On a more positive note, October is my birthday month and I'm already making a mental wishlist for that! Paco Rabanne's "Lady Million" perfume currently sits firmly at the top of it!
Trying... to think less, live more. To stop worrying about silly things and appreciate what I have.
Loving... the time I spent with my mum and sister when we had a few days at the coast. We went a few days after Mike passed away and looking back I think that time together was what we all needed. Also loved having my best friend Lou to stay later that week and the meal out with all of the old gang :)
Planning... garden. Still. Oh and birthday!! I'm thinking of maybe seeing a show in London. I really want to see Oliver! before its West End run comes to an end in February.
Making... lists. Lots of them. I need to organise myself better!
Writing... not enough! Am shockingly behind on my Mass Observation assignments, must must must get scribbling... (hmmm, this hasn't changed from last month. Or the month before that...)
Cooking... nowt too exciting I'm afraid. I did bake a Victoria Sandwich cake if that counts?
Inspired by... Mike's legacy. He loved life and his passing has made me realise that life's too short to be scared of doing anything.
