A habit I wish I didn't have.
I pick my bogies..... am so ashamed.

Playing catch up - Day 2 - The meaning behind my blog name
So, pretend I posted this on Friday right!
My blog name. Well, ever since I was a teenager I had the nickname Amylena. No idea why, my friend Beth thought it up, she used to sing it like Thumbelina! Once, someone said it should be Amy-wider, not Amylena. Nice huh? I hate that man, he has an ugly wife now, karma.
So anyways, I decided that I wanted to move away from Amylena, and started using Amy Georgina instead, which is my first and middle name. Don't you go committing identity fraud on me now will you?!
So the URL is amygeorgina.blogspot.com but the actual title of it is Reflection of Me. To be fair, I have no idea where that came from, it's actually just a blatantly boring blog title because what are blogs other than reflections of the authors life and feelings etc etc. So it's a lazy blog title. The URL will never change, the title may change but hey. What do you guys think?!

Playing catch up - Day 1 - 15 Facts
So I'm behind on this already, now there's a surprise!
1: I have grade 1 in Violin. My violin teacher told me to give up and "Go play the Flute"
2: I used to play the Flute. But I was never any good and used to just use Piano sheet music to play the Beatles and gossip with my flute teacher.
3: I have also played the drums in my lifetime. I did this when I was taking Music GCSE and it really pissed my old bitch of a Music teacher off.
4: I can sort of play the Bass.
5: I'm a cheat. Facts 1-4 substantiate this fact.
6: My first car was a Mini 30 called Bertie. My second car was a Peugeot 306, it was a Turbo Diesel and I raced the arse off it. He was called Jean-Pierre. My third car was a Ford Fiesta, she was called Florence. I sold Florence nearly 2 years ago to a lady who lives in the social housing at the end of my road. I think Florence must have died and I no longer see her driving past. Bertie now lives on the Purley Way in Croydon. He's being neglected, I endlessly hatch plans to rescue him. Jean-Pierre was sold to some inbred bloke from Derby...
7: I once sold my pet hamster for £5 and a bag of sweets.
8: I have a terrible relationship with food.
9: I'm scared of thunderstorms, and yet, I would love to go storm chasing in America. They scare yet excite me greatly.
10: I've suffered from depression since I was 13.
11: I'm incredibly selfish.
12: I live for music and my daughter. I could talk about both of them all day long, endlessly.
13: Fuck you little cursor, stop flashing at me, I've run out of facts okay?
14: I love Strictly Come Dancing and cannot wait for the new series to start properly.
15: I recently learnt some basic swing dancing with Andy, but we haven't practiced which saddens me.
Yes, alright, boring, hopefully there's at least one interesting one in here!!

A recent picture of myself
I'm in the dress and petticoat I bought for my cousins civil ceremony in Windsor next week. I literally went through my phone, it's the most recent proper picture of myself, the most recent recent one is this:
Anyway, that is all for now. I'm going to go home and start preparing for my second Guide meeting (my first one was a bit mixed....)

Tu Vo Fa L'Americano
I have this silly song in my head, not the original or anything, that annoyingly catching remix that they keep playing on Radio 1. I heard it whilst in the van on my epic bike ride (did I blog about that yet?!) and it's on my Spotify playlist so it pops up every now and then. Anyway...
I have lots of lovely new followers, I'm now up to 14 followers, how exciting, Ni Hao! Thanks for any comments that you've left recently, blog love is always the best love....
I had a proper post ready to, erm, post, but then I got sidetracked looking at photos and then told off for being on the internet too much, oooops!
Not a lot to report really. Have come with a rotten cold, am annoyed at my new haircut, it looked super cute the first day (Doesn't it always, damn hairdressers and their super blow drying powers) and now it just looks crap and I look like a frumpy mum. Again. The one thing I keep trying to avoid. Yes, I know I have a kid, but I'm also still only 25, not 55!
I think we're heading out for dinner again tonight, though I don't know where. We were going to go to Bodean's, I think I might just relent and still go, it just means Andy will drink too much and I'll have to drive home from Clapham, which I don' fancy much! Oh well, will see what happens.
In the meantime, some photos perhaps?
Red Lips Wednesday
Hair immediately after cut and blow dry
Hair the morning after, when I've had to wash and restyle myself. Fail
Our roof started leaking in the kitchen during the heavy rain. Fail.
We're potty training Scarlett. Moderate fail.
That's all for now. Going to get ready and decide where to go for dinner. Two nights out in one week with Andy, that's more than when we first met!
