Tumblr

I really forgot how lovely Tumblr can be until I set one up for work a few weeks ago (having totally neglected my personal Tumblr).

At work, it's usually just the architecture-themed blogs I look at, but even those are beautiful.

(Via ArchitectureBlog)

I signed up for Tumblr Dec 17th 2009 (yep, actually went & checked), & until recently was pretty sure that apart from those on it & other slightly-geek-about-new-things-on-the-internet people knew about, but if the recent press it's been getting is anything to go by, it's just getting bigger & bigger - which, in this case, definitely means better... *Note - when I can find online copies of the articles that have mentioned Tumblr, I shall update this post!
In the meantime;

An awesome 'I heart Tumblr' blog post

Find others equally obsessed with random things/people/places

Tumblr's 'Goodies'!

Cute Boys With Cats. Don't think I need to say more!

And a few of my favorite, random pictures from the site itself:

Oh, apart from the occasional bits of text, there are some amazing links too -

Enjoy! ♥

Job + Flat = The Dream.

Time's been going so quickly! I've now only got about a month left at my internship (this is my excuse for lack of blog-posts - all my blogging effort has gone into this blog. Check it out, it's pretty jazzy.

But this means that I've got to start looking for a 'real' job now! Which is exciting & scary in equal parts...Well actually, I think that now I've had this experience in an office environment & know that I'm actually capable of doing the job, I'm more excited.

Which is definitely a good thing! Because with a job comes a flat (hopefully)!
Therefore, it should come as no great surprise that I've spent many hours already looking at property porn.
Ranging from the 'I could never afford this in a million years, but isn't it beautiful'

For the Super Rich only

*sigh*
But having said that, there are a few gems I've come across too, which aren't eye-wateringly pricey, which is nice to know. Only thing is, I don't know where I'm going to be working, or who I'm going to be living with (either The Boy or Sj) & where they'll want to live...Because I don't really have a preference at the moment, as long as I'm near a tube or train.
This is mainly because my hatred for busses can threaten to become consuming at times.

And another awesome side to moving out will be being able to decorate!!! Eeeee.
Hello Ikea!

As for the job hunt - well!
The websites I've been casually looking at include:
Artshub
Creative Review
Brand Republic
University of the Arts

I think I'm going to start applying to a few jobs listed soon (when I know my current leaving date, etc.), but a couple of friends have mentioned that it might be easier to sign up with a recruitment agency, so I might just do that too!

FIngers crossed :]

MILF in the making ;)

I can't believe I haven't blogged about this yet, but one of my bestest friends Helen is expecting her first Bubba soon!

She's due in Feb, so is looking a little more bump-y right now - all very exciting :)
At first it did seem a little surreal that one of my friends was going to have a little person (we're not grownups yet, surely!), but now it's just plain exciting!
Something else to look forward to will be in a few years, when I can proudly show the little one beautiful pictures of her Mummy getting waaaasted** :) teehee.
This has also recently meant fun times in shops I wouldn't usually go into/avoid...baby item shops!

Everything's just so small & soft, it's hard not to want to buy everything in sight! In the end though, I managed to narrow the gift-buying down to this;

so soft & tiny! Aww. Almost worth having one...almost :)

I think if I could just spend silly amounts of money & borrow someone else's baby for dressing up, the company for the job would probably be The White Company. I would love to post some pictures of the bits they have online, but they're all GIF images...so go check out the website!
Actually, having a browse around the 'adult' part, there are quite a few things that would make lovely Christmas presents.
I especially like the "Home > At Home > Home Accessories > Small Solid Clear-Glass Tealight Holders". (Hint, hint).

*Also, a handy tip shared by both The Mother & The Grandmother; when you've got morning sickness, eat ginger biscuits & drink ginger beer!

Speaking of Christmas, it's that time of year again - the annual Christmas shopping routine of mild panic (don't know what to get/who to get for/how much to spend), followed by an almost euphoric (interesting definition, no?) feeling when you find something that's just right. Then a general feeling of smugness, provided this has all occurred before Dec 23rd.
Oh, I bloody love Christmas!
