My best friend Heather is so clued in to the new music scene it's like she can see into the future of Casey Kasum's Top 40. She keeps her feet on the ground while she reaches for the stars. And like a best friend should she blesses me with her new discoveries like an excited child shares finding a shiny new penny. So this is her latest. I promise you will love it. OK GO.

Church Picnic
This past sunny Sunday we actually drug ourselves out of bed and made it to church. To my total surprise Ian even fit in an early morning run before we left. For some reason church puts me in a bad mood but I managed to snap out of it when we started praying for the people in New Orleans. After church we had a church picnic in Regent's Park. Beautiful. Livin' the dream. Ian and I were invited to play the longest game of croquet ever. The lovely young lady in the photo was my extremely competitive teammate Olivia. Her and brother Joshua come from a long line of croquet players so they took the game very seriously. Beautiful weather, beautiful day, I couldn't have asked for more. Well maybe if all my family and friends from home were there. I could have asked for that.

Lost in New Orleans
Lost seems to be the new show to watch in England. They are a season behind America which I find extremely annoying so the other night after watching two episodes in a row I really needed to know what was going to happen. So I got online (the internet is my favorite), went to the website, and proceeded to read the written versions of every episode. It took awhile but now I am all caught up to America and ready for the season premier at the end of Sept. The best part of this is that Tom is totally into the show and he doesn't want to know what is happening. Finally I have something to taunt him with. Every time he says something out of order to me I tell him something important that happens to the castaways. I love it! He hates it! Yes!
Let me know if you are into the show so we can talk about it.
Last night on the news they showed footage of some folks basically lost in New Orleans, living on their roofs with no water or food. Surprisingly hurricanes seem to leave behind a good supply of cigarettes. Every cajun tongued interviewee was smoking. Seriously though why is there no help there? The reporter informed us that the Red Cross was only set up for about 3 hours and then left. The locals have no supplies and no way out since their cars have been swept away and even if they had them they can't get gas. I want to know if this is true and if so how could Louisiana and the US be so ill prepared for such a natural disaster. Apparently the US government was warned that this was possible. If anyone has any insight please share it with me.
Tom's Advice for the Day / evening!!!
I have done some serious thinking the past few days and I have some good quality advice (mainly for HH)
"Be Trimmed and always be prepared for any action!!!"
You never know what the evening may have in store, but remember beauty is only as far away as the light switch!!!!

Bank Holiday Weekend House
This is the house that I spent the Bank Holiday in. Huge huh? Even for American standards. I stayed in a room that had a dressing room that connected to it's own huge bathroom. Awesome! I almost spent the weekend by myself because Ian was out of town and I had planned on hanging out with Sarah who never called or answered her phone. Still not sure what happened there. Anyway I called Tom to see what he was up to and got his voicemail. A few minutes later he called back and invited me over. Thanks goodness, I was really beginning to feel sorry for myself. I had a fab time and Tom kept us entertained with his naked antics mainly jumping off the diving board with his bum out. Good times.
Lindsay
How cute is my friend Lindsay? She is due in November. Obviously they are having a boy and his name is Nolan. I can't wait to meet him. I know so many people that are having babies sometimes I feel like I am behind in the family department. My sister is wanting to start on her second child how can that be? My maternal instinct has not kicked in yet and I am wondering if it ever will. The only urge I have is to adopt a toddler, but the logistics of the process overwhelm me. One step at a time for us. We need to figure out where we are going to live and get a larger house in England first. If you are a praying person please say some for us and our future. Thanks.
Hutch and his hookah
Ok..imagine how dodgy this looks, then imagine how dodgy it looks at a christian festival. That is Hutch for ya. He had a whole gang of folks in his tent trying to convince them to smoke this thing. Some of them did and liked it...others however, would not succumb to the peer pressure. For the record it is all legal or at least that is what Hutch keeps telling us.

Today I spent al day by the pool. Well the I had lunch at a pub and then went to the pool. How lucky am I. I can't write much because I am off to a BBQ at Tom's house tonight. I will write more tomorrow and post some picture's. I Am waiting fro my friend Lou to send some to me, but she has lost her voice and is off sick so it might take longer than I had planned on. It is so warm here I love it!!!!

Good Afternoon
I just bought the new Goldfrapp album and it is rocking my world. They have such a unique sound and her voice is so sexy. I am a little scared of their website but it is creative. I got a fan email today, that is always encouraging. I really need to get this album finished. I got the title the other day when I was driving. Are you ready? Fairytale Disco. What do you think? I am hoping to get the music done this year and then do some shows next year.
I also got the new Delirious album and have listened to it today. It is funny because you can tell Martin has braces when he is singing. ANyway the music is pretty cool. Some of the songs are great and the others will have to grow on me. Stu G has a lot of vocals on this one and I love it! I sent him a text today to tell him he is a rock star and he said "Yeah baby! Fancypants." (That is the nickname he has and mine is Blondie from the movie School of Rock.) I am looking forward to the Family Tour next summer. Being on tour is my favorite. Hopefully Ian and I will make it through this one the last one almost ended us. Well not ended us but was a big challenge. We shall see what happens. Should be fun regardless.

My Little Pony
Meet my new My Little Pony. I love My Little Pony's so when I was shopping for Rebecca's birthday gift I saw this one could not resist buying it. Isn't she beautiful? Ian is a little jealous of the attention she is getting and is more convinced than ever that I am crazy. He keeps talking about shipping me off to the looney bin. My next purchase will be a Barbie from Hamley's a big toy store in London on Regent Street that apparently has the most amazing selection of Barbie's. Ian said he would get a Ken, but that Ken was gay. Not sure why he thinks that, but oh well. I love my new Little Pony. Yay!

Me and Evie
You like me, you really like me. Thanks for all the comments especially the one from Darth Vadar. I feel truly loved. Today was a sunny, warm day and I was able to wear a short skirt without being cold which makes me happy. I also wore flip flops, my favorite. We viewed two houses in Beaconsfield and one we liked the inside, but the front is ugly. I mean really ugly, so I don't think we will be buying it. The other was a good value for the house, but we would have to gut it start again as I hated everything they had done. And so did Ian. So no luck today, but tomorrow we are viewing a lovely cottage called Bentinck cottage it looks pretty cool. I will let ya know how it goes.
So the photo for this blog is me and Craig and Emma's little girl Evie. We had a great time getting "ice cream" at Soul Survivor. We played Pooh sticks and for those of you have not played this game go out play it right now. I think I enjoyed it more than Evie did. Well maybe equally enjoyed it.
So wish us luck for tomorrow and keep on commenting I love it, I really love it!

Isolation
Yesterday I spent almost the whole day in my apartment. Ian thinks I am going to go crazy if I don't get out more. The only problem is I don't really like going out by myself and I don't have any friends that live close by that I can call up and hang with. Poor me. So I have been going to my friends sites like Heather and Elvis and they always have comments on their blogs. Even Heather who doesn't blog that much has comments. Heather I wish you would blog more you're really good at it and I want to know every little thing that happens to you. At the risk of sounding like i need some attention, I need some attention. Please if you have the time comment on my blogs. Some feed back would be really nice.
What happened to Steve Guttenburg? I saw him in a movie yesterday and realized I haven't seen him in long time. I checked him out online (my new hobby is looking up actors from the 80's) and he has been working, just nothing big. Anyway just thought you might want to know. Gotta go. Bye.

Cathy's Birthday Barbeque
On Wednesday Ian and I went down to Soul Survivor Festival to see some of our friends and so Ian could work all day long. I was unaware of the working all day long factor. It was explained to me as "a couple of hours", but knowing Ian's love for his job I should have known. I have to give him some props because he did manage to hang late into the evening with the Delirious gang including a "hyper" Stu G. Stu entertained us with some hilarious and stories from his youth and managed to get us all to feel sorry for him for an unfortunate mole and hair he had on his chin coupled with the fact that he had ginger hair, freckles, and was kinda chubby. As for the Barbeque earlier that day Ian missed most of it, Hutch cooked, well I should say charred some meat and Cathy was honored and overwhelmed at the turn out. Anytime Delirious attend a function they bring along with them 5 wives and 16 kids. That's a lot of kids. So add to that gang a gang from St. Mary's and Cathy had a huge Birthday gathering. It was a fantastic day. The sun blessed us with its presence all day long. Yay! I love the sun. Happy Birthday Cathy.

Craig and Barney
This is a shout out to my friend Craig and his new baby Barney. Him and his beautiful wife Emma are our good friends and the only people we know in Chesham. Check out Craig's new book "The Naked Christian".
Webcam
Friday night I attended the show of Jacob Wright at Naordaggio's in Tulsa via webcam thanks to Heather and Elvis. It was the coolest! Everyone was there including my brother. Yay for technology. Yes... I love technology.

Back in the UK
I am sooooo tired. My trip home was alright, I mostly slept. I have come down with a throat infection that I have been trying to kick for about three months. This is it's third uninvited visit. I have some antibiotics that I was suppose to take last time and didn't, so this time I am going to finish the lot. Good bye throat infection. Ian and I are both sick and suffering from jet lag. We have been sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves wondering who is going to come and take care of us. He has actually been to work, but when he gets home he is so tired. We managed to take a trip to the grocery store and feed ourselves then straight to bed. He is off today to Bath and West Show Ground for a delirious show at Soul Survivor Festival. Are you impressed with my linking skills? The weather is actually nice. I can't believe it. I am so ready to move out of Chesham, so ready. For some reason my cute little High Street is turning into skidrow. It sucks. It is like East Enders with more drama not that that is even possible. Anyway I am missing everyone in Tulsa already, boo hoo. Well that is all for now I am gonna look for a new house or flat or something that is not in Chesham. It is too bad because I love our flat here. Oh well.
