NEEDING SOME INSPIRATION.

i need help with two completely different things.

1. this blog if you haven't noticed yet, is pretty boring (display boring). i've changed the blog around a little bit. not big, not fancy. a white background with some nice writing. but that's it. if you haven't noticed in my blog picture, maddy is in the background. she's reading a book and i'm pretty sure for my caption was 'book worm or notice me' on instagram a couple of years ago. but that is a very old picture, and it's time for an update. mainly because i have blonde hair now, and that photo was taken with my iphone, in a car. so, this is something that really i'll be doing. i have some lovely blogs that have given me inspiration: Love Taza, A Beautiful Mess and Oh Happy Day!, which are all wonderful blogs with completely different angles on the blogging world. i'm trying to now create a blog where it isn't just me discussing my life, but also helpful tips and guidance that i have done or am doing.

2. my room. i have recently moved into a room which was once a lounge room. it has a big old fire place (that doesn't work!) and has more than 2 doors to get out! i am having trouble decorating, and this is mainly in my closest area and the fire place. i have ideas but need inspiration! painting isn't really an option and hanging photos is a struggle - see my dilemma!

 this is the 'fire place'. see what i mean?! i can't really do anything with it, so this is some of my ideas!

 these are my favourite prints. they are both cards but i will be hanging them up. in the first print, my sister wrote who would be sitting on which table, and then a little dialogue between her husband and her.  and the second print is from vietnam. it reminds me of maddy and i, and those crazy hats!

some inspirations for the fire place. both from printerest. i'm loving the idea of having the books in the fire place and then a lot of pictures with different frames, sizes and colours.

/// UPDATE

i procrastinated yesterday and have an idea of how i want the fireplace to look like. i want to hang as many photos on the wall, but for a 15 minute diy, i think this went well. i printed some things off the internet, and had spare lights that were from typo a few years ago. this was a quick fix, and isn’t the end product, but i can deal with it for the mean time!

SORRY.

(this little guy was at the signapore zoo. i kind of feel like him. just sleepy and over it)

i start with 'sorry' pretty much in every post, so i kind of thought why not just make it a title and talking about the things that i'm sorry for...

i'm sorry i don't send letters. i write them, but never, ever, send them.

i'm sorry i'm too lazy to shower after exercising.

i'm sorry that i get scared to call up places and then make people call up and pretend they are me and then take credit for calling. yep, i do that.

i'm sorry i can't make decisions, but i don't like them and they scare me, so i'll pass.

i'm sorry i talk too much about people too much.

i'm sorry i haven't figured out what i am giving up for lent. to be fair i had no idea, and i'd been to mass recently. i'm feeling biscuits. 

i'm sorry i wear outfits more than once but i paid $60 for that skirt, i want my wear.

i'm sorry that i leave the toothpaste lid off and it dries up and then i have to scrape it off and then i do it again.

i'm sorry i can watch an entire season in one sitting. (i hope everyone can do this, yeah?!)

i'm sorry i'm so boring.
i'm sorry that i'm a terrible speller. but to be honest, it is my mothers' fault.

and, i'm sorry that you've had to read this.

i might be sorry for a lot of things, but i'll leave this little quote for you. something that no one should ever be sorry for.

“You’re alive only once, as far as we know, and what could be worse than getting to the end of your life and realizing you hadn’t lived it?” — Edward Albee

p.s. i’m not sorry wearing this awesome hat in veitnam. i now wear it mowing our lawns, and i feel awesome. 

p.p.s. or looking like a tourist in a foreign country. why is it ok to wear daggy clothes there, but not in your own country? (or is that just me?!)

READING.

one of the things that i love to do is read. my nana is a reader, my mum, maddy and so is my older brother. i read every night before i go to bed, and i love to read on the train. sitting on a quiet carriage to and fro uni is great. i really recommend it! i know that when uni becomes more stressful and the assignments pile on i wont have time to read on the train, so i am taking advantage of the first couple of weeks!

i've been reading this book called plays for radio and television. so, not a book but a play. it doesn't have any female roles (most of the plays are from the 1950s!), but i love to act out these male roles whether i'm a prime minister or a colonel. 

i'm also reading the last divergent book. i read the other two in vietnam and we couldn't, for obvious reasons, find the last one until we were at the airport!

jane eyre. loved. thought it would be boring, but it was so good, i was hooked.

i also read ipad books during the week. they are stupid romance novels, and i can usually read one during the day. they are highly addictive, but just fun to read and zone out. 

keep reading, peeps. 

love, georgie x
