However, doing this… lolitajaynescarlet.com doesn’t really work for my real name. So you can now find me over at http://www.realityescapesher.com – I’m sorry I’ve moved again – but I’m more likely to be settled now – rather than jumping between two different names etc. For those of you who have me on their blogroll – I hope you don’t mind updating the link, also, I would appreciate it my dear followers if you could follow me there too? :/ *is being hopeful*

Only one of the posts their has been moved – others are new or similar to ones here.

What can I say? Life is good, even though I’m home from work sick today, and am thoroughly exhausted – life is good. Due to feeling so exhausted though, I feel so creatively drained and I really don’t know what to do about it. Even when I find something pretty to share with you all, my motivation is zero! It’s dreadful!

I was wondering how the rest of you deal with things like this? I know I need more sleep – but I already feel like all I do work, commute to and from work, then sleep (or at least attempt to)!

I have a few plans, but for the moment they are on hold.

Also, I’ve signed up at Last.fm – I’m there as lolascarlet if you want to add me as a friend ^-^

Hope you’re all well!

Sorry I’ve been absent this last week! I’ve been busy, unwell, and trying to sort a few things out in my life. I’m looking forward to the school holidays!

Hope you’re all having a fabulous weekend ♥

I’m not always good at communicating what is on my mind, does anyone else have this problem? Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who feels this way and I know that it simply can’t be the case. I only seem capable of channeling one emotion at a time (otherwise I feel like I’m going to self-combust) and then there is the issue of most communication these days is online. Whether it is blogging, Facebook, Twitter, Emails, chatting clients – and you can use all the emoticons you like, but you can’t really read the emotion someone intends.

That being said, right now I would like to express my appreciation to my followers here, but also to my friends who are a part of my real life – those I meet up with and see with some level of frequency. I know I’m not always the greatest friend, and that I have my issues, but I do appreciate each and every one of you. You each bring something different to my life and that makes it interesting, and sometimes I do undervalue you and I always feel dreadful when I realise later or it is pointed out to me. I am trying to be a better person and I know I have a lot of growing up to do! I have trouble putting these things into words when I see you all, and I know this still probably isn’t very good, but I needed to say it somehow.

To my dear followers – thank you ♥ I’m working on some special things for you all right now, that I do hope you will love.

I’m not very good at expressing it – but I want you to know that you are all stars in my eyes ♥

First thing I did this morning was open my windows and let in the lovely cool breeze before climbing back into bed and loving the cool air on my face and the sound of gentle rain. The storms yesterday mostly missed me – we didn’t get epic hail, but the thunderstorms were unreal. I actually felt a little like a frightened child, and I love storms!

I wish today was a day where I could stay home and relax, search for new artistic inspiration etc. It’s not one of those days though – at least tomorrow is a public holiday though! I fully intend on going to bed early tonight and sleeping in tomorrow!

Hope you’re all having lovely weekends ♥

I went to see Alice in Wonderland last night with a group of friends and while there appeared to be mixed feelings among them as to what they thought of it – I can safely say that I absolutely loved it. I fully intend on seeing it again.

I’m in a fair bit of pain at the moment. I fell off an exercise ball backwards at work the other day, and landed on the corner of some wooden stairs. Ouch! My back is just one big bruise at the moment and it hurts to move.

Hope you’re having a lovely week! We’re expecting rain tomorrow and I can’t wait!

Work wraps up for two weeks, in three and a half weeks. I’m waiting with eager anticipation.

I received some mail from her the other night: she had sent me a little apron as an early birthday present – it has little cupcakes and tea cups on it!!! So appropriate for me ^-^ I am really looking forward to wearing it ♥

You should all check out her shop on Etsy, and keep an eye out for her!

Dear Autumn,

Sometimes I love you, sometimes I don’t. Finally the days are starting to cool and I can start wearing my beautiful long coats again. However it is also the time when apparently I gain in years, and I really do wish I could remain a child forever.

The colours you offer us are rich and warm, great for creative endeavours and inspiration!

Have a great one, all!

xx Lola
