january blues...

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:07:06 GMT

Is it just me who finds january the most annoying month of the year?? Back to the boring routine after the holiday break, the weather here is bleak- and all the funstuff seems months away!! Hint to Green Day- hurry up and anounce the tour-at least then will have something to look forward to!!

Also- am back on the diet- which is why I am currently working my way through a packet of cookies while I type!! Nothing like a diet to ensure I overindulge!!

Ugh- cant even think of anything to write!! haha! am such a ray of light today!

mmmmmm give up! will be back when I stop being grumpy! haha!

another year passes.....

2008 highlights.....

foxboro hottubs- oh my how I love this band-has definately been my album of the year- and the whole tour thing was great to follow, even tho I only lived through it vicariously!They also led me to another highlight.....

making loads of new friends via various green day fansites!! Have been a lurker on green day fansites for years- but this year finally braved talking to people and have made lots of wonderful new friends who share my obsession and much else besides- wish I had done it sooner!

finally suceeded in losing my baby weight- well he is 5 now so was about time really! Lost 35lbs and so far have kept it off -so am proud of myself for that- and is partly due to.....

getting a dog! something i had wanted to do for a few years since lost my last dog- got Albie- a springer spaniel pup in september and he is great and all the walking has helped keep the weight off!

watching the kids continue to grow- they are both wonderfully eccentric just like their mum!!

Looking forward to 2009 for......

GREEN DAY GREEN DAY GREEN DAY GREEN DAY GREEN DAY GREEN DAY!!

plus hopefully meeting up with friends at GD gigs,
not quite so looking forward to being the mother of a teenager half way through the year tho!! Gonna be a rollercoaster I am sure!

off to my twin nephews 2nd birthday party now- woot!! when did i get so past it that the only party invite on new years eve that i accepted was a childs party!lol!!

well- we have just posted the nominations for this years lushie nuns awards- you can see them and vote for your winners here:-www.lushienuns.com/lushieawards.html
but seeing as its trecember i thought i would post the nomination video for this particular category here too!!

obvs I could have made this particular category very very long indeed- but for the sake of time I had to just choose a few easy to find clips!! I am playing the rest on a loop in my mind - but I dont think there is an invention that allows you to see that yet- thank god!!
have a great day !

well- here it goes-my first entry!
Was recomended to join here by a couple of fellow green day obssessives- so am just having a nose around to figure out what its all about!
I am 35, and from the UK. Am married- (to a drummer!), and have 2 great but annoying children!! I also play in a couple of bands-just for fun these days-but back in my freedom days did a lot of touring-which is a great way to see europe-as long as you don't mind sharing a smelly tour bus with a bunch of drunk men!!
Currently am an at home mum- still waiting to find the career for me- and still waiting to feel like a proper grown-up! Never gonna happen!
I am overly addicted to Green Day, and have been since I was 21! Just love them! Am desperate for the new album, and news of the new album, and new of news of the new album-etc etc! and of course the acompanying tour- saving all my pennies in my Green Day fund- looking forward to 2009! Also looking forward to seeing many of my new found internet buddies during the tour- this past few months has been a revelation to me-have met some lovely people from the select world of GD fans- what a bunch of f***ing nutters we all are-and how at home I feel amongst you all! so thanks!!
mmmmm- that will have to do for now! am out of anything to say-but am sure that wont last!
do you say bye on these things?????? will have to look at other peoples and figure out the ettiquette!!
