Keeping It Real

I went for a quick squiz though my archives this morning. That was some interesting reading if I do say so myself. But it also showed me how different I'm writing these days. Well, the subject matter more than anything. I went there basically to have a read of what one of my new invitees *cough KC cough* was going to get an eyeful of. Dunno how much he bothered reading, but can I just say now...don't go back there!...don't look!...everything's changed, everything's different, I was a different person back then!

Ok, I'm still the same person, so that was a lie *gasp!* You can't knock a girl for trying to bury some of her past when she's feeling slightly foolish about it all now. We all have some regrets at some point that we'd like to lock away in the closet. Good days, bad days, they were and are, a part of life that shapes us. Lessons to be learned and all that blah.

I think I used to be more fun back then. Hell, even I was entertained with it all 2 years down the track lol. But things are so different now in many ways. I seem to have lost a certain "fun-ness" about me. And bless the cotton socks of those that have continued to read me despite that. I'm still fun...I SWEAR!

Course, I have days when I'm no fun at all...just ask some of my closest friends lol. You may have heard me mention on here before that I have an A team...that'd be Alice, Anna and Anne, 3 of my best buddies. Bet you didn't know I had an L team too did ya? That'd be Leilani, Lisa and Lily...3 lovely ladies I'm probably driving potty via email. I know I test their patience some days more than others, but I SO appreciate them all being around in the background keeping me upright.

ANYWAY, I actually had a really good post to put up this morning...one I hadn't written yet, but was cruising through my bonce ready to be spilled onto the screen. Seeing as I've written this much already, and I fear that Gary will get mad at me for another lengthy epistle, I shall save it for another day. That can be translated into a day where I can be bothered writing it, ha.

Rugby World Cup fever is sweeping the nation...and being the patriotic girly I am when it comes to our boys in black, I shall leave you with this 30 second video.




So far...

New Zealand vs Italy - final score 76-14
New Zealand vs Portugal - final score 108-13

Yeah...YOU BETTER BE SCARED! (heh)

This is Lisa of Internet Lovers....supporting any colour, as long as it's black...signing out.

*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
