Hey everyone! First post! Not much to say, I'm afraid. Work was boring (as usual). I had a really cute couple come in, which was great, except it reminded me how lonely I am. Not to be a downer but I do really miss Ryan, he was great! It's a shame he had to move to America. I haven't heard from him in a while but I'm sure he's doing great. We also had a huge shipment of books come in, it took ages to stock everything! Have you guys read Looking For Alaska? It's a real tear jerker!
Well, that's it for me. Signing off. XOXO, Lily :)
I took a hike today! It was absolutely amazing. Cardiff is gorgeous; as always. Dad came along as well, he kept limping, I had a bit of a laugh at him of course, but I am starting to get a bit worried.
No updates from work as I had the day off. Looking forward to reading some Oscar Wilde when I get back to the shop!
Signing off now, XOXO Lily :)
Alright I know I said I'd update these daily but things really picked up with my life! I haven't even had time to hike! Apparently everyone and their mother made a resolution to read more, so the book store has been packed. Also.. I met a boy.. he's gorgeous. And he bought 'A Picture of Dorian Gray' which just makes me fall more in love with him! Ahhh.. hope he texts me. I gave him my number hee hee
Signing off now to go help more grannys find books. XOXO Lily :)
Guys. I'm so incredibly hyped up about space. If you know me, you know I love to go star gazing. And for Christmas my dad got me a telescope! It's beautiful. Last night the cute boy (James) called me. We went up to the cliff by my house and looked through the telescope at all the stars. The thought that there could be life out in the universe (apart from us) absolutely amazes me! I also finally got round to watching the new years special of Doctor Who. I still can't believe they made a tv show out of the books! They're so similar to the stories Dad used to tell me. Speaking of Dad, he keeps complaining about his hip. I'm taking him to the doctors tomorrow. Wish us luck!
Signing off, XOXO, Lily :)
Hey guys. Wow. I haven't updated here in a while. Sorry about that. Dad's got cancer. It's all over. The Doctors are doing the best they can. But it doesn't look good. Hope you all have been well. Signing off for now. XOXO Lily
For halloween my boyfriend James and I dressed up as The Doctor and Amy Pond. It was hilarious! Having trouble uploading pics here. But It was a smash hit.
Signing off for now, XOXO, Lily :)
Hey everyone! I just got promoted! Ahhhhh! I'm now running the entire shop. I've decided to open up a little cafe, serve some coffee and tea for all the nerds out there :). James thinks its a great idea, he's even helping raise funds for it! What did I ever do to deserve him?
Signing off for now,
XOXO, Lily.
Hey everyone. Life really went bananas. Only a quick update today.
Dad's worse. Doctors say he's got a year left.
The little cafe is thriving! I'm so happy to be running this little shop.
Oh, and the big one...
JAMES PROPOSED!!!!!!!! We went star gazing on new years eve. I turned around from my telescope and there he was- down on one knee! Of course, I said yes! I'll update you all on wedding stuff as that comes.
Signing off, XOXO, Lily :D
“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
James and I are struggling to pay the bills. Things at the cafe are slowing down and NHS isn't covering dad's treatment. Not sure what to do. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.
“The best books... are those that tell you what you know already.”
James and I took a hike today. Same one dad and I went on before his diagnosis. I kept thinking about life, how fleeting it is. I realized I haven't really done much at all. Not sure what direction I'm headed in, but I can only hope it's up! By the way, James and I have been talking a lot about having kids! I'm going to the doctor to get things checked out, but after the wedding I think we might start to try! Exciting times, I know dad will be excited to be a grandpa, even if he is a bit sick!
Disappointing news, James and I won't be able to have kids. Can't really get into detail on here, but I'm just not able to. It's sad to say the least, but I'm hopeful about adopting in the future! Dad seems to be doing a bit better, which is also REALLY good!
Bad news today RE dad. One good day does not mean a good future, apparently. Thanks for all the well wishes.
For everyone who wanted to know, Dad's funeral service is being held at St. Mary's. Afterwards there will be a reception at the rec center. Thanks.
I'm amazed that I'm typing this, and I'm even more amazed that I have internet connection.
I can't say much. But all of dads stories were true. And I'm just.. I'm star struck.
I'm thinking a lot about James. I really miss him. It's crazy, it feels like years since I've last seen him. But it's really only been about three weeks. I don't think he can see my posts or anything like that.
WEREWOLVES?!?!
I'm so alone. The Doctor is here but I miss home. Feeling conflicted.
