A Day In The Life Of A 'Housewife'.

People have always jumped to the conclusion that I'm anti-social, when in fact I just enjoy being alone.
I love being around others too, don't get me wrong, but when there's nothing in particular to do I'd rather be at home alone chilling out to some music and just pottering about, rather than trailing about aimlessly.
Today the Mr has gone for a skate again. :)
I love that he skates. And rather than me feeling lonely when he goes out, I appreciate it 'cause I get to do stuff like blog and workout like I did earlier and yesterday!
I am defiantly determined to get fit again like. In no way do I think I'm fat or any of that nonsense but I would like to tone up again and get back to a good fitness level and until I'm working again I can't afford a gym membership...hence resorting to my old Ministry of Sound Pump it Up workout DVD. :P Its actually pretty good though, always a good selection of tunes when MOS is involved and you can actually feel it the morning after. I attempted to start running again too but until I can improve my cardio that's out of the window! Might try again once winter buggers off. Trying to get back into a normal sleep pattern would also be good as I seem to be currently nocturnal.

Break in the blogging right now as Jakey has arrived home and I need to get back in the Kitchen!

Okay, tea out of the way and I'm back cuddled in the duvet on the sofa as boss man plays some more Fable.
Today we've been together 3 months! I'd never really be that arsed but I think its quite cool seeing how far we've come in such a short space of time. I feel like I'm constantly laughing and being silly! Like last night, we randomly had an ice fight in the kitchen after I cleared out the freezer, it was lots of fun. Stuff like that to mini photo shoots in the home studio and just laying on the sofa are the best things ever. Ive never been so happy and I hope things continue to look up.

Enough puke worthy rambling for today I guess, t'ra. x

A Product of the 'Home Studio'. :)

Suffering Withdrawls pt.2.

3am, slightly tired, watching the boss play Fable 2. Thought I'd take the chance to continue my MMA related ramble.

So yeah, November 12th should of been my second live event. UFC 138 Leben vs Munoz, in Birmingham. I even had a press pass believe it or not, to be a ringside photographer. I was the most excited I can ever remember being for anything (maybe barring Disneyland) thinking it could of been a foot in the door of the only career I'm actually interested in. But of course it wouldn't go straight forward for me! Nothing does. The long and short of it is I couldn't afford the travel and accomadation and therefore missed out on a once in a lifetime opportunity. Nevermind.

The dissapointment just kept flooding in after that when BJ announced his retirement and Kurt lost his Bellator fight and announced his re-retirement. Yes, I am not ashamed to say I cried like a baby upon hearing both sets of news haha!

I suppose I should discuss some more optimistic things...

UFC 139.
There isn't much to say apart from what a freaking great card it was.
Henderson vs Shogun = Fight of the Year?! So glad I got to see this as I was at my parents and they still have ESPN from when Daddy ordered it for me before I moved out :P.

Last topic is that of UFC on Xbox live. I remember hearing about this months ago while being forced to watch the E3 conference. Upon reading up on it tonight I'm pretty stoked for it. Streaming of Pay per views means I don't need to fork out for Sky and ESPN, I'll get to keep up to date with pressers, weigh ins and countdowns again and the whole voting for your picks thing is right up my street. Heres hoping I can get it!!

Getting super tired now...maybe bed soon for this nocturnal lass :)
Sweetdreaming! x

Suffering Withdrawals.

From MMA. Not drugs.

I may not be the most clued up on the sport but I do consider myself quite a fan, especially for a girl!
I've become more and more interested in the ever growing sport for the last few years and am suffering due to lack of internet and ESPN in the new flat. I find myself stalking twitter (as I mainly only follow MMA fighters and the like) to get the goss.

Thinking back there was a time that I would never miss and event. Even if I had work at 9am and only got an hours sleep due to the time difference.
Its been over a year since my first event! October 16th 2010 saw the UFC's 9th visit to the UK with UFC 120: Bisping vs Akiyama and this time was the added bonus of the very first UK fan expo! I am very lucky to say I attended both the expo and the event and they were a few of the best days of my life.
Safe to say I forked out for the best seats - If I was travelling to the other end of the country I was gonna have the best view. And it was well worth it to have better seats than Dizzie Rascal and Katie Price & Alex Reid AND be sitting beside amazing fighters like Brad Pickett and even get to chat to them, pretty surreal! The whole atmosphere in the arena that night can not be replaced.
The expo was mental too. I got to stand in a real Octagon and meet my all time favorite fighter, Kurt Pellegrino, amoungst other legends like Wanderlei Silva and Stephan Bonnar who said I had a cute name :P
If that wasn't enough, being a fight club member meant early entry and prioity seats to the weigh ins which gave me a chance to get some amazing photos that have even been featured on a couple websites :)
I'll include some photographic evidence for the skeptics.

Thee Tickets.

Wanderlei Silva and I

Me in the Octagon!

Kurt Pellegrino and I <3

The actually view from my seat. (No zoom B] )

'Sexyama' on the scale.

Mike Pyle playing up to the Brits. (I cheered him on though!)

Thats probably enough writing for one post although I have alot more to say about certain people retiring ect. Might post from bed later depending on certain circumstances....
