Short'n'sweet.

Where to start? Been aaaaaaages....I forgot about this. Changed jobs (was in retail for 9 months, never again. Now in factory work again and I love it!), residence...life is good. Only I've put on weight. Part of that's hormonal as I've been for blood tests and such. Getting tattooed a bit lately, Mum's gonna kill me....or never speak to me again. Not that I care. I'm almost 42, beginning to feel over what people think of me, especially family. If I choose to express myself by getting tattoos, then those who love me will have to accept it. Planning on changing my hair next. Been to bingo a couple of times. No wins yet, but it's fun. Also been to a few roller derby bouts this year. A pal of mine is one of the derby dolls, I'm hell proud of her. She's an inspiration! Short'n'sweet for now, but I'll be back!

Hey Hey, what's all the fuss??

I'm so over the over-reaction to the "black-face" skit on Red faces. I'm yet to see it, as I work afternoon shift, but my fiancee taped it and I'll watch it over the weekend. However, I've heard ALL about it on radio talkback. To Harry Connick Jr and everyone else: You're all forgetting this was a reunion special of a show that was on air 15-20 years ago, and as such was a nostalgic look at family entertainment in a show that was hugely popular. Back then something like this was simply view as humourous, now it's viewed as racist. My how times have changed. The world is now over-sensitive, full of it's own importance and so tightly wound that it's offended by every little thing. This episode has shown me that things have changed so much, it almost impossible to remember the more relaxed and open-minded times of the recent past. Everyone needs to get a grip, sit back and see it for it was: funny and entertaining nostalgia. To Daryl Somers, your reunion of the Hey Hey It's Saturday crew was a marvellous idea. Please, please bring back that format or something similar for Saturday nights again. Everywhere we turn, there's reality TV in our faces. ENOUGH! More variety TV would be both refreshing and reassuring that we still have real talent in this country, not try-hard wannbe's looking for their 15 minutes of fame.

Long time between blogs, good grief

Has it been THAT long??
I have a couple of new tattoos, have changed my hairstyle, my job became contract full-time afternoon shift (I hate the hours and will never get used to them), still no sign of a wedding date, I've gained a little weight, joined a ten-pin bowling league (current handicap is 94) and I think that's about it in point form. It's been just over 12 months since I quit smoking and five months since my fiancee quit. We've done well. I think his job is finally allowing overtime for his section again after months of just doing his normal hours and nothing more. Good sign. I'm looking for day work, I hate not being home at night like normal people. I miss my fiancee so much it does my head in. Been to a couple of great gigs, Marky Ramones Blitzkrieg (awesome!!), Fireballs (always fantastic) and a couple of local bands. It's good to catch up with people I have a lot of time for. Young step-son is 16 in a matter of days. Time flies. Basically my life revolves around my fiancee, to boys and home life. Such as home life is, two days a week. *sigh* I hope things turn around soon, I've had about as much as I can take. I spend a LOT of time alone at home. Anyway, that's the state of play almost halway through 2009.

Fiction - AO

44 degrees celcius.
He showers. Invites me in.
We play, laugh, kiss.
Decide it's too hot to finish what we're starting.

Bed time, still blazing hot.
He showers again.
I get in too for a cool down.
We laugh, talk, he kisses me.
This time we can't help ourselves.

It gets passionate. He holds my face, kissing me, loving me.
Excitement builds. We get out, he tells me we don't need our towels.
We fall onto the bed, dripping wet. I climb above, he tells me to kiss him.
We know what pleases the other. We waste no time. It's too exciting......

We're dry by now, and need another shower. Need to feel cool so we can sleep.
So hot, in more than one sense.

Life gets in the way of good blogging practice

Well here we are at last. We found a place to move with two weeks to spare. Just scraped in the move by a day, as we did it all ourselves with a trailer. That happened at the end of July, and we're still settling in and unpacking. God we've got a lot of stuff! Mostly junk, but you get that with four people in the one household. Now it's a matter of catching up on the bills from the old place and trying to manage a new budget.

I'm still a non-smoker, but my fiancee is not. He had too hard a time mentally with quitting (he'd become grumpy and belligerent), so he's back on them in a bid to start from square one again and gain a new perspective. I don't like it, I see it as weak-minded, but each to their own. The step-sons are still smoking on and off. Younger one got suspended (2nd time) for smoking this week. You can tell them and nag them till you're blue in the face and they'll still do the wrong thing if that's what they want to do.

My work sitch has changed again. I'm working in another factory on a contracted casual basis with a view to it becoming a full-time position. So that's all good. Now that I know what their policy is on piercings and hair colours, I got my eyebrow re-pierced two weeks ago. Planning more ear piercings next.

This week has been a total loss with me being sick as a dog with the flu. Four days of headache, temperature, dizziness, coughing, sore throat.....I haven't been that sick for years. I kept me in bed for the better part of the week. So I've not worked this week and when I don't work I don't get paid. So that's put us a week behind. I feel so guilty, as we were planning to go to the Royal Show. I didn't want to go, but the boys were looking forward to it so much. Oh well, what can I do about it now? Nothing.

My fiancee still hasn't made mention of setting a wedding date. I'm not the pushy type, he'll talk about it if/when he's ready to. Oh well, I'd best be off, and play good housewife and do some vacuuming.
