I have registered with freelancer.com today. I have written a wee bit about myself and bid on some writing jobs. Wish me luck. I would love to have a go, writing for someone far away. Most of my work is with clients of Vine99 or a an associate. Interesting learning about different rates of pay, and expected time scales too. Great fun!

Trying to illiminate the fear of the faster pace of the mornings.
Do you think like me? Do you wake in the morning with a sigh of gratitude of aliveness? Or do you whimper at the thought of the 'to do list'?
If you know me in any little way, you will know I tend to lean to the latter, in general.
In fact, it all starts the night before. After several hours of piece, and slowness, we all know that in a blink of an eye, and an itch and a fidget, it will be time to leap out of bed, bang your head, stub your toe, and embark on the mountain of things that were meant to be done yesterday, but might get done today, but will probably be still there tomorrow stuff!
I used to think it was wisdom that made my dad go to bed early, because he was far too exciting to sleep. But I am in my 30's now and have decided that wisdom is never going to catch up with me. I still stay up too late, indulging my senses with various visual Valium and energetic beverages.
Life is too short for sleep - we all know that. But like chocolate makes you fat, being awake makes you tired.
No matter how many years of experience pass me by, I still struggle with them both.
If you enjoy reading over tired grouchy fat birds moaning, then read on, otherwise take a leaf out of my dads tree, and go to bed.
Unless you are reading this in the social hours of the local peoples awakening: in that case get on with the things you were meant to be doing the day before yesterday, and stop eating chocolate!

About Me

I wrote this as a description about myself here for Blogger back in 2008. Thought it was interesting to see how I saw things back then, and obviously needed a rethink!


Well I really don't know how to explain myself. Its hard to see who you are. I am many things fantastic, loving, caring, funny, friendly , mad silly, stupid, crazy, boring, tired, fun, loud, giggly, daft, grouchy, miserable, sad, lonely, fed up and sometimes all of them. It depends what day you ask who I am. I am a Mum of two who are both still toddlers so that says more than descriptive words ever can.I am pregnant again and due 22nd Jan 09! So bumpy and hormonal ;) I love being a Mum more than anything in the world and I don't take the job lightly. I have a twin sister who is a massive part of me and a family to wish for. I'm neither rich nor particularly poor and regard my fortune as an image of the people I love. I like to take chances and risks and jump into life with my heart not my head and will never say no to an invite to a banging party! Well, secretly I would never say no as the kids come first. I love my fiance with all my heart and only look forward to wrinkles with him holding my hand. I love languages, art, theories and debates. Spontaneous stuff gets me going every time, and would love to free fall from somewhere really high.
