"5 Things" Meme

The next meme I was tagged for was the "5 things" meme. I was tagged by Poet and Jo. Now you can see how very organised things are (or are not) in my life.

Five things in my fridge:

1. Weight Watchers cottage cheese with chives - honestly, do you think I'm actually going to finish this pot? I don't like the stuff that much and try my best to use it in a combination I can't taste the stuff.
2. Nail polish - I've always kept this in the door of the refrigerator, apparently it lasts longer...that's the theory anyway.
3. Eggs - I have to cut down on these, I've been eating far too many of them lately.
4. Mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots, mandarins, apples (thanks sis)
5. A leg of lamb to roast for when the boys arrive home from their Dad's tonight. I like to use my BBQ to roast on so I don't have to think about the mess it's doing to my oven. It's so much easier to roast it on the BBQ. It's been pouring with rain the last couple of days, so I don't know if that's going to be possible tonight.

Five things in my wardrobe/closet:

1. Old clothes packed in a couple of bags jammed in the top of my wardrobe...I should either sell these on TradeMe or throw them in the goodwill bin.
2. Shoes, some in boxes; some all over the floor.
3. The kiwi sex toy in it's little 'toolbox' on the top shelf, never used.
4. My softball mitt and batting glove - dormant, because I no longer play.
5. Ironed (pfft) shirts that belong to both boys, because neither have them can get to their own wardrobes easily, so they end up hanging in mine.

Five things in my handbag (purse):

1. Keys for car, house, flat downstairs and a couple I have no idea what they're for.
2. My 2006 diary...don't go anywhere without it (that kinda makes me sound organised by I'm sure you can judge by the top two pictures, I'm certainly not)
3. My address book....telephone numbers, addresses and email addys of just about anyone I've come in contact with.
4. Christian Dior lipstick - no. 001 "Violet Tattoo"
5. My wallet, generally bulging with coins...never bulging with notes.

I shant be tagging anyone, but certainly feel free to take up the "5 things" baton if you wish.

I've barely been around much lately, I'm struggling to find time to read you all at the moment, let alone write myself. I did start to wonder if my blogrolling *'s weren't pinging properly, but then realised that maybe people just aren't writing as much as they used to...dunno.

It's a national holiday here today in New Zealand....celebrating the Queen's birthday. I love having long weekends. Funny thing that we don't have it the same weekend as the English, afterall she's more their Queen than ours, and they would know wouldn't they? lol

I hope you've all had a lovely weekend :)

*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 ...
