The world is wonderful

Hiya,


Well, hmm, I said in Monday's post that my intention was to keep up with the prompts everyday.


Then yesterday I just had this thought that I've been spending way too much time on the computer. I can waste hours just flicking between forums, Facebook and blogs. There may not even be anything happening on any of them, but the whole internet is just so tempting, so alluring, so addictive! And I know I'm not alone in this addiction, all you fellow addicts know who you are:).


So last night, I had a quick check of FB before taking my daughter to settle her into bed, then I went to my bed too. At 8pm. I read for a bit, but was asleep by 10. It was fabulous!! This morning I even managed to make it till 9 before I was drawn into switching on the laptop.


That does mean though that I missed out yesterday's prompt, it's an interesting one, but I think I'll leave it for another day when I can devote more time to it.


Today's prompt is to list a few of our favourite things, or things that inspire us. I have had a wonderful day, so I'll include a few of the things that made it great.




First, Starbucks have their Christmas coffees out again. I had a yummy Toffee Nut Latte this morning, and the guy even gave me a voucher so I'll get my next one free:D.








Second, I LOVE H&M clothes, especially their children's section. Amy's grown so much in the last while, so we had a clothes shopping trip. I honestly think I could just about buy up their entire stock, but I limited myself to 4 pairs of trousers, a sparkly dress and a Hello Kitty pinafore. Wish I found clothes shopping for me that enjoyable.








Third, bumping into old friends. I saw a girl today I hadn't seen for a few years. It's cool, we lived across the close from each other when we were babies, then didn't see each other till we met again at Uni. And just last week she'd come up as a friend suggestion on Facebook, so as I can't think of a random photo for 'bumping into old friends', I'll promote FB instead.



Fourth, I have to promote one of my favourite blogs Cake Wrecks. It can be hilariously funny, with photos of professional cakes gone wrong. Have a look at the fan favourites down the side.































Fifth, I'm so looking forward to Christmas, for some reason I'm just really excited about it this year. Today I couldn't resist buying Amy this little set from Early Learning Centre. It was reduced, which was even better!



So that's my list for today, could be different tomorrow, who knows?

I am excited for Christmas too! Is it too early to put up my tree? The internet is a complete black hole. It is sooo easy to get sucked in. Ugh!! I keep clicking away though.....

I too love Christmas and am sucked into the block hole that calls itself the internet for too long each day. Love your fav list.

That piccy of the Starbucks coffee has made me decide where I'm stopping off on my way to work this morning LOL
