H&B: Nothing new to report re Canada...as I said earlier I'm taking things slowly....I don't want to disappoint him again and mess things up this time....it's important I do this right. We're talking everyday, spending time together just chatting or playing some game online...as you'd probably be aware, finding things to do together in this situation is limited, so we either play in backgammon tournaments or play literati (like scrabble).

He's champing at the bit to be able to call me his girl again..he's eager to rush over here and sweep me up etc.....and we're practically there, but I have to do this right...I'm scared of letting him down. I am however still saving money and cutting corners as much as practical so I can visit him again...this will be a long way off....after he comes here early next year.

So all in all, we're pretty solid...trying our best to keep it real and making sure we talk plenty about any concerns we have. Something else that came to me the other day...I like loving this man...I mean, I really like loving him. Things are positive...it's a wonderful feeling.

llCoffee: I'm so proud of youuuuu! Hope you get all you ordered and are happy with the way their system works. I got a substitute for a couple of things the first week, nothing drastic, but I persevered and learnt to navigate the site and I'm satisfied with it. Oh, and the snapping sound I heard when I first went into labour? was the membranes snapping, hence the watery dribble (bleech) <--- on behalf of H&B (I'm just lulling him into a false sense of security...the minute he relaxes about birth stories I'm going to hit him with 13's arrival.)

By the way, after all the hoorah at work this morning had died down, I dashed round the corner and bought me and Annette some chocolate cake and lattes. We felt we deserved it. I've a strong suspicion I'm going to gain 10lbs this week with all the comfort food I've been shovelling in. Oh, did I mention my girlfriend Alice has convinced (pounded) me to join Weight Watchers with her? Anyway, she did and I think considering all the changes that are happening in my life, I'm ready for another one. I promise not to turn this into another weight loss/gain blog....I still have the matter of quitting smoking to deal with yet. So there's a strong possibility that I could turn into a rather nasty bitch screaming on her blog about cream cheese and bagels.

Man, there are so many personal changes happening to me....this has GOT to be my year!

*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

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

Sleep, Blog, Sleep, Blog, hmm

Working extra hours will of course take it's toll on my body...and to be honest, things are going fairly well in that respect...that was...until last night. Cos ya see, last night, I didn't go to bed at the usual time of around 1030ish. I sat here and read my entire blog history...and although that's not HUGE because I've only been blogging since the beginning of the year....that's still a fair amount of reading to get through. That, coupled with catching up on some of your blogs (didn't always comment on them, forgive me)...I ended up crawling into bed at 1.35am. 1.35AM!! I haven't stayed up that late since I first started playing backgammon on the MSN Zone (and then we're talking about 3 and 4am, I must've been nuts!). Now I know that 1.30 isn't an unusually late night for some of you...but for me? it's big these days...real big. So this morning (some of the only free time I have this week, I...am...knackered. Why do we do this to
