Generally I’m not an in-between kind of gal.

With me it’s either in or out so, you would think things are either black or white.

But no, my problem is that when I’m feeling white about something I understand the black and when I’m black I can see the benefits that could come my way if I was white.

(But let’s not get into that!)

For me this year has seen a lot of something I like to call The Week In-between.

Which refers to a time like vacuum called the present moment: seconds, upon minutes, upon hours, upon days of waiting for a better week to come.

‘The Power of Now’ and all that jazz was no doubt written by a The Week In-between survivor. 

Because quite frankly it’s hard to get razzled up about the present moment when it’s during The Week In-between, as during The Week In-between it’s all about next week.

You know when the week before you had something really exciting happen – you meet someone at a great party then you have The Week In-between-Next-Week when you hook up again and make up for the time that literally came in-between you.

Hence The Week In-between gets a bad wrap, an annoying time before the good week to come…..

But it’s not always the case, take mine for example. 

As I look to this week, the last In-between Week of my life as I know it, I realize that the last few months of The Weeks in-betweens are what have led me to next week!

I just couldn’t see that till I started writing this sentence.

Granted with every new Week In-between I’ve faced, the fear factor has been higher, but the options have got more exciting….

Jobs, friends, apartments, laptops, and now countries.

So, when it comes to The Week In-between the thing to remember is this: As you challenge yourself more The Week In-betweens are harder. The reason? Sometimes it’s hard to see the light when you are surrounded by it – although it’s a bitch when you are sitting in it The Week In-between is the making of magic.

That being said, I’m taking my magic and bolting!

I’ve done my time With the Week In-between.

From next Thursday Tootstar.com is going weekly from New York City.

See you then.

The Smuggler Challenge.

Do You fancy smuggling your budgie in a pair of these?

If so, take the smuggler challenge and you’ll receive a free pair of Budgie Smugglers courtesy of Budgysmuggler
in return for a letter to Tootstar telling us what you think about them be it, good, bad or just plain ugly!

This week’s smuggler is

Dear Tootstar,

I’ve read all the stats with these things and personally I find smuggling your budgy a bit rancid and I don’t think chicks really dig them at all.

Looking at most of the photo’s it always looks like a bunch of fat blokes or old men trying to be sexy.

So for this reason I have decided to take the challenge and see whether I can prove someone wrong about these little nasties.

Once I receive the smugglers I’m happy to wear them surfing for the week to see where it can get me or if they’re as bad as I think.

I’ll be the first to admit defeat if it gets me any where with the girls and I’ll be happy to report back with the verdict either way.

So here’s to the budgies and may the best man win
