Catch me if you can

I should probably explain my lack of being able to keep up to date with this blog, I have been running...not as much as I would like too but thats because of two things. The first is I work in retail, its christmas and I am like Santas little helper working a fair bit until next saturday. And the second isn't an excuse but I have become obsessed with Leonardo Dicaprio. Its probably pretty obvious that I have an addictive personality; the running..I liked it so then I had to do it every day, the baking...loved doing that so it became bake off at any spare second, luckily I have tamed these activities to a healthy amount however the latest addiction is currently out of control and I can't see it stopping.



I have said before I have never been a big film watcher, I haven't seen a lot of the 'classics' and I definitely go through phases of what I am willing to watch like when I made Sam watch the best rom coms of 2012. I didn't realise what was gonna hit me when I got in the other day, had been for a cheeky 7k run (see picture above, how lucky am I to live in such a beautiful place) and thought ''I will have a lazy day today'' I often try and do this but it results in me getting bored of being lazy and making something, baking something or going out but I was willing to commit to this day and enjoy not doing anything. Browsing the TV I watched Lorraine, This Morning and then just as I was about to leave the sofa I saw 'The Great Gatsby' on movies.It wasn't even Leo that drew me in, it was Carey Mulligan, love that playa so went full force into movie mode and since that I haven't stopped.

When I was watching Leo I remembered when you really fancy someone and started thinking of all these funny things in my head, ''What would happen if he asked me out'', '' I wonder if he would be like this to me when we are married'', ''I wonder if my family would like him''. Anyway one thing lead to another and I have ended up watching 7 films in the space of 4 days which is probably more films than I have watched it my life, all including Leo of course however the creme de la creme came last night.

Obviously every playa has seen Titanic, nope not me so I sent a fellow pal to purchase it at work whilst my best pal Liz arranged a delightful spread and provided and ambient space for my first time viewing accompanied by some House of Lords Champagne from Liz's mama Debs. I was pretty hyped for it all day, I mean he has taken over my life, my current background is his exquisite face (below), I ran to the Gatsby soundtrack pretending I would run into his arms in the last kilometre and my recent google searches are just embarrassing.



I arrived at The Begas in my pyjamas and my lord I was not ready for this, I was a wreck half way through the film and I could see Liz looking at me laughing whilst I sobbed my eyes out for the last half an hour, it was emotionally draining by the end and I had to go home and rewatch scenes on youtube before bed in some sort of dire hope I might dream of Leo.

I didn't and woke up this morning with the puffiest eyes I have ever seen, you may have thought someone had died if you looked at me and all I can say is now is I now realise why every single woman on this planet loves Leonardo Dicaprio and also why a lot of women are single. I mean if you can't have someone like Jack Dawson why be with anyone at all.

So we shall see how this running week goes, I completed 40k last week which the majority being before The Gatsby and to be honest when I woke up this morning the first thing on my agenda wasn't a lovely sunday morning run but where can I locate a Leo Calendar, Pencil Case and rubber set!? Unfortunately after searching I couldn't find any of the above however I am ready to settle down to another film night and fall further in love with Leo in Romeo and Juliet.
