Melting Moments

I'm wearing a dress today. This is a pretty amazing fete for me, cos I never wear dresses. Last time I wore a dress it was my wedding day, 16 years ago (ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's been a long time). But today, I am wearing a thin indian cotton button up the front ensemble, colour being red...because it's sooo friggin hot! To be honest, I'd rather be naked and not wear anything right now, but even being naked would not cool me down in this temperature.

I think I need to reassess my drinking water regime....last night I had to get up 5 times during the night to pee. 5 TIMES! That's more broken sleep than I care to have, and makes a very nasty me to be dealing with the next day. I've already drunk at least 3 litres of the damn stuff today and perhaps I should stop now. But..but...but...I might dehydrate in this heat! *sigh*

I just played in my first backgammon tournament since last weekend. My best friend hosted the tourny and I told her I'd play. I played in a different room than I used to, so that would seem ok...'cept it wasn't....Canada came in and saw me and then all hell broke loose..again. My best friend and him going at in the lobby of the tournament. Jesus, I'm so fucking tired and of all this shit!

13 is grounded this weekend. This is only the second time I've ever grounded him...but he deliberately deceived me about something the other day before school, and so he has to deal with the consequences....no going out, noone coming around here and no telephone (which is pretty much is lifeline these days, he's on it more than I ever used to be).

Course, I haven't seen him but once, and that was when he came out of his room to eat. I know he's not online, because I've pulled the ethernet cable out of the back of the router, so that's got that other sordid business sorted too for the time being. I'll be buggered if he's going to hole up in his room and look at porn for the day.

I am going to be chatting to England tonight...so that is at least something positive to look forward to...or is it? never know these days....things tend to switch on me at the drop of a hat.

*crosses fingers*

*gasp* Who IS that masked font?

This far down the track, it's sometimes hard for me to remember where Dan and I came from. Not in the "Who am I?" or "What is my purpose on this earth?" kinda way you understand...but of how we met and how much that totally spontaneous meeting unexpectedly affected both our lives and the lives of those around us. It's been over 3 years since Dan stumbled across this blog, and almost 3 years since we actually met in person for coffee. Next February it will have been 3 years since I told him I was in love with him. Don't panic...this is not going to be a post filled with sunlight and rainbows, extolling the brilliance of the above-mentioned man and all he means to me. Would I do that to you? I mean to say...this is the first time I've put font to screen in over 4 months, do you really think I'd come back and get all gushy/mushy on you? Nah...that'd make even me wanna gag. The fact of the matter is...that it HAS been such a long time sinc

This is a complete test post.  Just checking to see how live this thing still is and whether or not I'm able to use it should I feel the need to go back to blogging.  Which I miss incidentally, and think would be great to use again for an outlet of sorts. I got the washing done yesterday finally, all hung out, worked in my study passed sundown and considering how much the temperature dropped, damp washing, not worth bringing in.  This morning look out the window at 9am, overcast and then raining, so what the hell.  It stays out for another day or 2 at least. Got that out of my system and with the boredom of it all, let's see how this posts, or not!

A Wandering Post

Hallo Everybardee! (that's my Sharon Osborne impersonation.) I'm listening to Lemar's "If There's Any Justice" while I'm sitting here wracking my brain as to what to write today. And this song coupled with the recent brain-hurty questions that are being flung at us via Lisa's blog have me wondering. How many people out there are sitting in unhappy partnerships/marriages out there? How many are bobbling along in their marriages, for fear of not wanting to be alone or for the sake of the children etc? I spent 15 years with my husband before I finally realised we just weren't the same people we used to be and no amount of compromise was going to get us through the rest of life together. I met him when I was 18...seperated from him at the age of 33...one a teenager, the other a much different woman and the mother of two boys. I don't regret this time of my life, not one iota...there's a lot of learning and growing to had in those 15 years. My
