Weekend Update

I met NZDanBoy for coffee Friday morning and we went for a wander around the mall, sat in the sun, talked practically non-stop, and eventually ended up here at home, for more coffee and still yacking. I only just made it to my afternoon shift (2pm) on time. What can you expect when you put two gas bags in one place for 4 hours?? (Fizzy? Jo? sound familiar?? lol)

Oh and I better add he left relatively unbruised....I only thumped him once for a stunt he pulled earlier in the week via text message. So all's good. Dan, it was certainly a pleasure to meet you, and anytime you make it to Wellington again please feel free to drop in. By that stage I may have thought up new reasons to give you the bash lol. (The wisecracks in your comment on the post below is a good start!)

I highly recommend meeting someone from your blogroll. That was bloody good stuff, good fun and a lot of laughs. Most enjoyable. So....who's next? lol

In my previous post I was whinging about my Claytons tenant (that's a tenant when you're not having a tenant)...she left me in the lurch on Wednesday. Anyway, I received a phone call Friday before work from another interested party, who came around with his wife and child Friday evening. And started moving in on Saturday! One less thing to think about. Yay!

The clincher on a great day was being able to manouevre myself out of going into town on Friday night. In fact I stayed home and did stuff all but wind down alone after a full day. Again Yay!

Three things that touched me this weekend:

1. After clowning around with my oldest son and saying in a whining voice, that I'm just a Mum...Cameron sounding genuinely astonished "Mum! How can you say that? Being a mother is one of the most awesome jobs you could ever have!" (I stand corrected.)

2. Having this wee mynx hurl herself at me yelling "Aunty Lisaaaa!", when I dropped in to visit Anna and Jason. This young lady is always a ray of sunshine for me...should I ever be feeling a little 'flat', a few minutes in her company is all that's needed to lift my spirits. (I must say the strawberry lip balm I keep in my handbag that she likes to play with helps lol)

Picture 178a

3. A hand delivered mocha at 6.45am Sunday morning during a fleeting visit on his way to Wellington airport, because he drank my last one on Friday. (The fact that he rang first before dropping in, and I insisted he pick it up on the way is besides the point lol.)

Hope your weekends were all just as relaxing and enjoyable, and to those that celebrate Guy Fawkes tonight, I trust you'll end the night with sparks flying and a fearsome bang! (lucky bastards *mutter mutter*)

*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
