NEW TECH GADGET
Today I bought a Verizon router for my computer in order to be able to access the Internet from anywhere in the country and abroad. Isn't technology wonderful? The cost will be $35 a month.
SET A DATE OF DEPARTURE
I finally completed the itinerary for my maiden voyage. I din't know until now just exactly where I would go on my first trip. Several things started pointing to Texas then it began to feel right. Of course it would be Texas. How fitting. That is where I left AnnaLee and that is going to be the first place I will go to look for her. Leaving on Sunday February 6, 2011 - 33 days from now.

TRIKE RACK FOR GYPSY
Bought a rack for my trike today. Won't be pulling a toad so need something to get around on at the campgrounds. Should be here in about a week. It cost $410.00. Is able to fold up on the back of the coach when not in use.

Monday summary.
It's the first Monday of 2011 and what better way to start the new year than with a Monday summary! I can't promise these will be every Monday like clockwork as I don't have a computer in my little house so I can only blog from my parents house or Jonathan's house at the moment. I'm looking into little netbooks/laptops as my birthday is coming up and I'd love to be able to blog from my house. But we shall see :)
My 5 good things:
1) I have to find a positive in going back to work after 10 days off and it is that I can't wait to get back into a proper routine. Sleep ins, munching on good food and catching up on the telly is all good and well, but I feel sluggish and rubbish! A proper routine should hopefully make me feel better.
2) I spotted some tweets from Kelly yesterday in relation to jogging programmes, and it was just what I needed to get back into jogging again. Thanks for sharing Kelly! I need a bit of structure instead of just heading out with no plan so hopefully this will get me on the right track for Race for Life this year.
3) After 2 months of not feeling 'at one' with my new house due to various boiler problems and such, I have decided to make the best of it. I shall use my £30 Ikea voucher that my Sister got me for Crimbo to get a little bookcase for my mound of books that are still packed up in boxes and a few other bits and bobs.
4) Talking of books, this will give me the chance to give one of my resolutions a whirl and see how many unread books I have in my collection.
5) I had a lovely Christmas break and I am very lucky to have such a wonderful boyfriend who has really looked after me when other things haven't been so great. Thank you.

2010.
As 2010 has come to an end I thought I would browse through some old blog posts and my oh my, my life has changed so much in the last 12 months. My world has been turned upside down and back again, and I wanted to put a few things down on paper (or, you know, the screen) for myself but also to share the highs and lows with you.
I had quite a tough break up with my ex boyfriend in the Summer after 2 years together. We adopted Lily and Lola together, and also had his dog Geri, so it was like our little family had split up completely. We had to live together for a few weeks after we broke up until we could rent our house out to other tenants and it was the most stressful, painful 6 weeks of my life. I've rarely spoken to anyone about it because it was so tough. I threw myself into work as a distraction and concentrated on looking after Lily and Lola on my own.
I must give an extra special mention to the inspiration for my blog name, Lily and Lola. My 2 faithful pooches who always want to cuddle me no matter what. This time last year I shared the story of how I adopted them. It has now been 2 years with them in my life and boy oh boy, they certainly make life interesting! You can read that blog post here if you ever wondered how I came to find the little pooches.
January
At the beginning of 2010 I went to see Avatar and raved about it, it snowed and was very inconvenient for everyone, I had blonde hair, I visited Harrogate and Otley with my friend and I attended an event for Aussie!
February
I saw 500 Days of Summer which spawned by obsession for Zooey Deschanel, I turned 25, I dyed my hair back to its natural colour after 6 years of being a blondie, I visited Salts Mill & Little Germany, I made a delicious cake, I shared my style inspiration, and Lola modelled her favourite tee.
March
I got a fringe but envied every other fringe in existence, I discovered my least favourite nail polish, and found another that I loved, I shared my weight loss inspiration as I took part in a Weight Loss Challenge, I did some shopping, and shared some facts about little old me.
April
I listened to a lot of music, I felt robbed after a trip to the hairdressers, I reached 1000 subscribers, my Mum got in on the blogging action, my obsession with Next Home began, I bought this amazing tote bag, and my training for Race for Life was in full swing.
May
I saw my idol in the flesh when I went to see She & Him, I mentioned it again, I forgot the true meaning of blogging and thought I would quit, I began helping out with a new blog, Lost came to an end, and I bought my very first maxi dress!
June
My parents cat and my pal, Tufty, passed away, I discovered Green Monsters, I blogged for Next (and won!), I took part in my first Race for Life, and I went shopping in preparation for the Summer.
July
I went to Gibraltar to visit my Sister, Adele (here, here and here), and my 2 year relationship came to an end...
August
I thought about getting a tattoo (I didn't by the way!), I focussed on what makes me happy, I rejoined Twitter, and hardly took any photos it seems!
September
I found the perfect hair straighteners, my Sister got engaged, I was looking for love, and found it :)
October
November
I picked up the keys to my house, got excited about Christmas, it snowed and caused great inconvenience just like last year, and a certain someone made me very happy.
December
I went to Paris and had an amazing time. I took a million photos and shared some here, here and here. I also got dressed up for a Christmas party and had a look back at my resolutions from last year.
I wonder what next year will hold...
Happy new year!
