Hello!

Thought you'd lost me didn't you? Thought I'd run away didn't you?? I know you've been mourning my absence, admit it! lol

I've been slack, I know. I've been doing extra hours at work to cover for a couple of ladies on leave, not to mention getting the exercise required to keep doing the "Travel the Nation" thing. So basically, I've been pretty pooped. As some of you may have noticed, I've been sneaking around reading you, but have not spent as much time here doing that as I'd have liked.

Hell, I haven't even answered my own comments, let alone put comments out there on your blogs myself. Thank you all so much for your comments, I really do appreciate each and every one. I'm getting slower and slower it seems. I certainly get slower when I'm PMSing, and that's what I've been doing this past week...so, be happy I haven't been bitchin' and moanin' on here at y'all ok? Well, I haven't really been bitching about anything, I've not had the energy, so it's all good I guess lol.

In my absence, I see I've been tagged to do the desktop meme, not only by one lovely lady, but two. So I'll leave you with this pic of my desktop. I tend to move the icons around depending on the picture I show...well, once I put up the pic, I get rid of icons to tidy things up, so I can see the pic better.


This was taken last Sunday morning, when Anna, Jaimee and I went for a walk around Oriental Parade. It was as windy as hell, but the day was beautifully sunny and I took the photo with my phone, when Anna and Jaimee were playing around on the beach. It's taken ages to copy the desktop pic because unbeknownest to me, I don't have a graphics programme that I'm aware of...not even Paint! (how is that even possible??) So I emailed my word-document-pasted pic to Anne, who sorted it out for me in a flash. (See all those "doc" tabs in the taskbar? that was me trying to figure it out on my own, pfft)

I know I haven't done it the way I was supposed to, there are certain 'rules' that go along with this meme, and if you're interested in finding out the rest, please visit one of the sites above. I'm just pleased I took part and don't have to hang my head further in shame by NOT doing it lol.

I'll do my best to get round you all this weekend....it's a long weekend here in New Zealand. Monday is Labour Day, and although I'm still tossing around going up to the orchard at some point, I'm not sure I'll get that far. So hopefully, the least I'll be able to do is get around and do some catching up in Blogland!

Have a lovely weekend! *mwah*

*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
