Lessons I have learnt in the past 24 hours
Wednesday 14 June 2006 - 10.21pm

1. You will only remember it is rubbish and recycling day as you scoot out the door, already running late, and trip over the mountains of accumulated junk mail you put in front of the door to remind you to put out, and in the process, ladder the last pair of stockings you had.
2. It does not pay to boast about your superior Macaroni Cheese making skills because the fates will hear and fuck it up for you even though you have made countless fault free and tasty mac cheese in the past
3. No amount of tomato, bbbqor sweet cchillisauce in the world will hide the taste charcoal taste of burnt cheese sauce. Mmm love those carcinogens
4. A boy must either really love you or be really hungry (or maybe both?) to eat the above mentioned disaster even when begged to throw it out as you do with your serving
5. The new French Take Away place (on College St near JVL Real Estate for all you PN peoples) is really yum!
6. TradeMe is addictive but buying handbags is so much fun when they are so cute and so cheap!
7. Your PC does not like having a CD inserted into its drive when there is one in there already. Terrible crunching sounds emit from the CPU as terrible swearing words emit from you.
8. If you don't want to feel like total shite in the morning, you should not stay up half the night playing Pirates on your PC

Playing a game when the rules keep changing
Sunday 11 June 2006 - 1.04pm

The insecurities reared their ugly head again last night and got the better of me somewhat. I should know by now that drinking alcohol brings them out in full force.
I don\'t know why I cant just be happy with what I have. Why I am always wanting more? Is it just part of the human condition that manifests itself stronger in me? I love him so much. He loves me. And yet, I am always looking ahead, wanting the happily ever after , pushing for things instead of just letting them flow naturally.
I cant imagine my life without him and that scares me. I hate feeling this way, so powerless and dependant - my whole happiness seemingly hinging on another person. I am supposed to be this strong, independent, go getting, career orientated, new millenium woman and yet I am no better than the 50s housewife (sans children of course) who is the epitome of everything I despise.
I hate not knowing what the future holds, of not having everything mapped out, of leaving things to the fates who just love to fuck things up for those mere mortals down here on earth.
I think I am drowning

Cats, cows, headaches, heaters and other stuffs...
Monday 5 June 2006 - 6.04pm

Okay so I should warm you now, this entry is kind of a long winded, rambling pointless rant...
Yay! I am officially headache free right now!  Having been about to lose my mind from the pain last night, I downed a further 2 cups of coffee and 2 migraine pills (um.. yeah so you are only supposed to take one per 8 hours...ops ) and feel into a catatonic sleep... for three hours. Then I woke up and was ready to bounce off the walls...not a great idea at 2am. Since there was no way I was going to get back to sleep for some time, I ended up reading my trashy chick lit novel til around 4.30am before going back to sleep. Yeah, I think I have probably done terrible things to my body clock now and will no doubt feel like crap tomorrow but it will be the first day of the working week so I wont feel very excited anyway 
I really haven\'t done all that much this long weekend, though I have done a lot of thinking about the conversation I had with my managers wife on Friday afternoon. Helga,* a sales rep for a cheese company** was driving home after a long week on the road when the back door of the cattle truck she was following came open, a cow fell out and was promptly run over by the truck's trailer, spraying poor Helga's trailing vehicle in bovine blood, flesh and innards.  I kid you not. As you can imagine, she was fairly hysterical and I was torn between sympathy and wanting to laugh my head off at the absurdity of it all (as totally unfeeling as that must sound). Worse still she had over an hour's journey to the next town looking like a mobile abattoir with a car wash facility at the service station 
*name changed to conceal identity
**industry changed to conceal identity
I have also come to realise how much I love living alone and how hard it will be, should the time come to move in with my boyfriend (not wanting to count chickens but if he does not turn out to be "the one" God is going to have some serious explaining to do), it will be so hard to give up my independence. Not that you have to give it up just because you live with someone but you get what I mean. Anyway, the main reason I got to thinking about this was because of my boyfriend's flatmates. Don't get me wrong, they are generally speaking really nice guys but Sat morning when I finally got to have a shower at their place, having waiting over an hour for the bathroom to come free, there was no hot water left after they had their standard half hour showers each. I love being able to do what I want when I want here in my own little place, knowing that any mess in the place is my mess, that the hair in the shower plug hole is mine and being able to waltz around the house naked in the morning if the mood strikes me. Of course, it does have its downsides like when you cant be bothered cooking there is no one to wheedle into making dinner for you or help out with the bills, or throw the cats outside at 2am when they decide they want to play but you want to sleep 
Speaking of cats, yesterday we went to the National Cat show here in PN and I totally fell in love with a breed of cats known as Maine Coons. They don\'t stop growing until they are 5 years old and will weigh upwards of 10kgs. They are like your own miniature tiger! There was a beautiful big tabby fellow at the show who I could quite cheerfully have taken home with me, but since he won best in show I think his owner might have been a little upset about it. He was magnificent though. So of course I have been hunting the internet and TradeMe for Maine Coon information and breeders. Apparently they are considered working cats which sent me into cataclysms of laughter; do they drive tractors or work in steel mills or are they more white collar career kitties (collar = kitties = ha ha ha! sorry, bad joke)  Anyway...
That said, I do love my two moggies and would not trade the for the world - especially right now as they are making great heaters on this chilly Monday evening as I am well ensconced in front of my PC tonight playing the fabulous new pirates game that my lovely boyfriend installed for me today 
I just realised I have not set foot outside my flat all day today. I am such a lazy indoors bum...and now at 7.4 degrees it is way too cold to bother poking my head out!
Anyway, gotta go - I have two auctions on TradeMe that are due to finish shortly and I refuse to be outbid. I want a Paul Frank handbag damn-it!
Oooo, before I forget -  heather how is your fingernail doing? Half my toe nail fell off the other day...with a little help cos I was sick of catching it on socks and slippers...

Every Sunday without fail, and today being no exception, I come down with a whomping headache. For a while there, I was thinking my body was really smart and putting up an allergic reaction to the thought of going to work the following day. And then I realised that it was kinda work related...during the working week, I consume between 4 and 7 cups of coffee daily, on the weekends...maybe 1 for the entire 2 day period total. Yep, I am in caffeine withdrawal and its not pretty. Today's headache is a particular bad one, even a 1.5 hour nap and 2 cups of coffee in quick succession hasn\'t budged it. Sigh

Did ya hear it?

Hey all of you in PN and surrounding area, did ya hear the high pitched shriek of unadulterated terror that resonated around the city at about 6.32pm followed by a frenetic "Die you bastard, Die!"?
Yeah, uh, sorry about that, it was me.
There I was, happily washing away the residue of a stupidly busy day in the hot steamy goodness of the shower when I look down on my shoulder and what should I see? The mother of all giant winged beetle things with antennae flapping in the breeze from the bathroom window.
Needless to say that particular little bug (which upon reflection may have been a weta) will not be bothering me or anyone else again anytime soon (unless some poor unsuspecting city sewer worker comes across it's carcass in which case  deathisntf… please deny all knowledge)

A Toe full of Woe
Sunday 21 May 2006 - 9.49pm

It's times like this I wish I had a webcam or a digi camera***. I would love to be able to post a photo of the horror that is my little toe right now. While visiting my sister the other night I managed to kick my neice's high chair and my poor baby toe bore the brunt. The nail is split vertically in half down the very centre of it and the left half is black and crusty and PAINFUL!!!!!!!!!
And of course I had just purchased a pair of funky (but new shoe tight) shoes and thrown out my comfy streched to perfection, if somewhat tatty ballet slipper style slip-ons.
I think it is probably only a matter of time before I lose, at the minimum, half the nail.
***Currently watching auctions on TradeMe for them but since I am technophobic about such things I have no idea what constitutes a good one. My criteria right now is only one thing; cheap!

So with all that goodness floating round in me, I just had to click on this link my sister forwarded me to see what the next few months might hold...
