the happy little world of miss ktp!

Danielle at Sometimes Sweet has set another Journal Entry so here goes: "Looking at all of the life you've lived so far, can you pinpoint one time frame or instance that you feel truly contributed to your growth as a person?  This may be a turning point, a positive or negative experience, a moment or collection of moments that stand out in your mind...something that changed  you as a whole. " Firstly I'd like to apologise for how long this post is! I got started typing & couldn't stop! Yoink! At the start of my second year at uni we were given the chance to lengthen our course so we could spend our 3rd year in industry. I jumped at the chance of gaining experience in the Textile world & when asked where I wanted to go I asked for anywhere abroad thinking I'd get sent to New York or Paris or Milan......but none of these came up, the only country on offer was India! I'd never even thought about visiting let alone living in such a different co...

Danielle at Sometimes Sweet set another brief for Journal Day yesterday. See her entry here . "If you had a free pass to go back and change anything in your past, with the promise that it would only affect you positively, would you do it? And if so, what would you change" I had quite a long think about this & in all honesty I don't think there is anything I'd change. Yes I have a few things that I regret, as does everyone, but whenever I've done / said summit I've ended up learning from it.  You get that horrible feeling of guilt & time of reflection afterwards when you look back over what happend & it teaches you to count to 10 in the future before saying something or thinking before you act when / if you end up in that situation again. For me, everything happens for a reason & so each time I've regretted something it's helped me to grow into a better person. I guess I’m kind of lucky not to have something major in my life tha...

Danielle at Sometimes Sweet has given us another brief for Journal Day. See her entry here . “The older we get, the more certain we get about who we are and what our purpose is.  For me, a lot of it is still unknown, but as I make my way down my own path, I have begun to realize that there are indeed some inevitable truths that I know for sure. On your own blog, write a post that talks about "the one thing you know for sure."” I wasn’t really sure where to start with this till it hit  me last night after my 2nd crappy day at work in a row. I was almost ready to head home, curl up on the sofa & watch mind-numbing tv *ahem* jersey shore *ahem* & not bother with heading to Jive but there was a little bit of me that knew if I went I’d forget everything & leave with a smile on my face. Do you know what? It worked! So my answer to the one thing I know for sure is: “No Matter How Bad Your Day Was, a Good Old Dance Will Perk You Up.” As I was typing my theme I reme...

Danielle at Sometimes Sweet has started a new project called Journal Day & I thought I'd take her up on the challenge & attempt to write a post each time she writes a prompt so here goes.... Describe a "first" (first date, first lie, the first time you experienced something, first time in a particular setting, etc). Include as many details as possible to paint a picture. After a bit of thought I decided to write about my first day at school. I'm not picking any school in particular but my mum&dad started a tradition right from the start where they'd take a photo of me outside their front door all ready for the challenges ahead. It's something I'd love to carry on when we have a little P of our own & he/she is ready to face the outside world (Argh I'm actually talking about children! When did that happen?!). There are 2 images I can remember vividly. One is my first day at Infant school where I'm clutching a little yellow ...
