Hairy And The Lost Ant - A new bestseller!!!

Spending time with the family is always lovely. Spending time with insects however, is not.

A few nights ago, there I sat on the couch. Listening to passing conversations in the living room.. Minding my own business and watching UKTV Food (come on! It's the greatest channel ever!) whilst drinking water. A perfectly normal thing to do 1 am in the morning, right? It may seem normal.. But there was a little thing that wasn't. The ant.

I started eating rice at night, as I was hungry. A glass of water was in my hand whilst talking to my brother in law. A few minutes I see an ant crawl into my bowl of rice. Seeing it before it made it to the actual food, I flicked it. Where does it land? Right into my glass of water. Yep. What are the chances of that happening, I think to myself.. And just then I look back into my glass. And the ant has gone. Again, what are the chances of a drowning ant coming out and walking away? Pretty slim.. I'd say.

That's my story. Yes, a best seller I'd say. Obviously I'd make it more dramatic, so it can last for 100 pages.

Anyway! Moving on to other things:

I've realised that diaper-talk is the most boring thing on earth. I was at a dinner a few nights ago with the family.. And obviously my sisters, and a family friend were all talking about their babies. I think I saw my whole life flash by me in those few hours. I thought of things I've not thought of in a while. An example of the conversation, If I may..

Sister 1: Does your son sleep more than my daughter?
Family Friend: Well not really. He wakes up really in the morning.
Sister 2: I know, tell me about it. I'm awake by 6 and playing with them.
Sister 1: What nappies do you use?
Family Friend: We were going to try the natural one by Boots but I wasn't sure.
Sister 2: Oh my, don't use those. Those are terrible. She doesn't feel comfy in them.
Sister 1: Yeah, neither do mine.

Yep. It was the most tedious thing ever. Although the food was great. I've now realised that baby talk is all I have to hear for a few years! So now I need to be ready for a lot of general pondering about life and all that jazz for the next few years!! How exciting!

Other than the nappie talk.. I have to say my nieces and nephew are quite sweet.

My summer has begun. Well it began ages ago. But considering how hot it was today, I think it's safe to say that I think I felt like I was walking through Dubai during a normal day. Yes, THAT hot! Tsk.

So I was thinking about what I would do after I finished uni in two years time.. I got really really excited at the thought and then went to bed, due to the sheer exhaustion of thinking of my future. It was scary and funny. Although it's safe to say that I didn't get further than the sleep I had. So yes, no real conclusion there about the future yet! Which is awesome, in my opinion.

I'm off - to go and create yet another bank account (that's 4, people. Four. Who's cool now?!)
