school pictures, boring actors and chocolate biscuits

taking
the fifth year group portrait tomorrow. no rain! and no whammies or whiny ''cool'' kids who refuse to smile either ;)

eating
ginger cats and hoping they will work their magic on my horribly sickly upset tummy... it's all Oprah's fault, getting me worked up and anxious about Wednesday already :(

wondering
if anyone actually finds Tom Hanks interesting... he's soooooo boring, i'd hate to sit next to him on a long haul flight - he's not even cute either. ditto Tom Cruise :| if i were Oprah i'd have demanded to have George Clooney! and David Bowie!! and Julie Andrews!! (oh i think she had her already...?) and Bill Clinton!!! all people i would LOVE to sit next to on a long haul flight (though sitting next to David Bowie would make me sweat profusely and he'd probably make an excuse and move seats to escape the stench ;) i once sat next to some big boss from Heinz going to Heathrow and i am pretty sure my love of heinz ketchup and baked beans was sweet music to his ears :) anyway... i'd also have R.E.M. and George Michael and Barry Manilow... i am the only person on God's green earth who doesn't like Beyonce or any of those other people who were singing today who i don't even know the names of...

knowing
however, i am soooooo going to miss the old girl :( i feel a trifle verklempt just thinking about how empty and barren Thursday's viewing is going to seem............... even though she's madly annoying at times, i do so like Oprah's show, and she has the coolest freak-esque guests that no-one else could even dream of getting :( it's like soooooooo sad.... no more horribly disfigured faceless people or hopelessly overdrawn housewives accused by Suze/Oprah of being the ruination of their families because they bought school pictures and Cover Girl lip gloss (yes it happened...) or amazing goosebumpy miracles or fabulous undergarments that make you look thinner instantly. it's the real end of the world as we know it (and i have a very upset tummy over it and don't feel fine at all...)

hating
*le sigh* - yuck!

thinking
some people all too often confuse being ''busy'' with being too full of their own importance ;) grounds for murder in my book, or at the very least being ignored right back ;)

wanting
to make scones. but i lost the recipe and can't remember any of the amounts and it's imperative i get it right as my palette is so refined. Martha has it somewhere on her site, i just have to wade through the thousands of returns for 'Martha Stewart scones" to find the real one without buttermilk/cranberries/cheese/other freak ingredients that have no place in english scones :|

off to bed with a nice cup of tea and a couple of chocolate digestives (purely for the digestive benefits :) back tomorrow with stories of insolent tweens and, hopefully, partly cloudy skies xoxoxo
