So ‘project me’ is about making it all positive right? It’s about taking anything that happens and being conscious about it and finding the value in it? It’s about putting me first and making sure that my needs and happiness are my own priority?
Interesting, because tonight I’m kinda going ‘um’ about myself and I don’t do that very often. Yep, I’m doubting how nice a person I am.
Actually, I’m trying not to get confused between what I know I deserve and being too guarded by my insecurities. Me? Insecurities? Continue reading

It would be dramatic had my mother and Greggie not spent the evening laughing at me. Yes, I’ve spent the night sneezing, coughing and oh, what do you know … sneezing!
I swore I wouldn’t blog, but I’ve just caught up days and I’d much rather lie int tomorrow morning before my brunch date with the mysterious older man. Continue reading

I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that I failed maths and that counting isn’t my strong point. Who is reading this blog anyway? Did no one notice that today’s blog was day 349 and it should have been day 353 … I mean really people! Continue reading
Published December 19th, 2010I haven’t had a melancholy day like this in a long time and instead of hiding away, cancelling my plans and consuming myself in soppy music, I’m following through on my fun day out with my friends.
Before I do though … here’s what I’ve been listening to all day. So, here’s my wish to you … I hope you know somebody loves you!
Published December 18th, 2010Here’s to really letting you in to my world. A day filled with the most precious of moments from beginning to end. It started with me going to the gym for my first weigh in since last week’s realisation.
My mother is amazing. I stay about 5 minutes from the gym and I literally walk in, jump on the scale and am home in a flash. In that time I don’t think she took a breath once. There she was sitting exactly where I left her and only when I said, Continue reading

Do you want to know how I know that I’m in holiday mode? That’s easy … sleep!
I’m so not ashamed to say that I managed to sleep until about 11:15 today. Granted, I did wake up to go to the little girl’s room just as the sun broke, but then I scored an extra 6 or so hours sleep … that’s like a whole extra night!
I’m not big on busy holiday time. I like to catch up on my sleep, my reading and my cheesy movies. Today was meant to be one of those days but for some reason (well, maybe because I slept the good hours away) I didn’t have time to do much of anything.
I am so close to finishing reading a book I started during my holiday in November. I don’t know what it is about living back at my mother, but I am not reading nearly as much as I used to. I don’t think I got past 3 pages … and the crazy thing is that I’m loving the book. Continue reading

It’s perfect blogging time. My sister is showing off her veil to my oldest sister and I am hiding away because I don’t want to see anything before her wedding day. I can’t believe that it’s seven weeks away. Table seatings are nearly done and Greggie and I are sitting at the ‘aunty’ table. Amazingly that’s where I really want to be.
I used to live with my one aunty, Lala, Continue reading

The traditional maypole of Pagan descent.
I’ve done a little bit too much sitting at the computer today but the temptation was too much to resist. Firstly, I know that we are heading to silly season and less people are going to be online and opting to read blogs over drinking eggnog and eating turkey. Secondly, everyone is going on holiday and won’t be online to talk to as much. Considering that I have done my seaside holiday and I don’t get a holiday away from a commitment to daily blogging. I decided to indulge in both blogging and chatting today.
Granted, I did have to take an anti-inflammatory for the first time in nearly a month, but I’m also coughing like a … um, what do you cough like? Continue reading

Last night was the season finale of Private Practice. My mom and I always record it and watch a bit later because I’m usually blogging and she’s usually dealing with some international crisis for work. I wasn’t even aware that it was the last episode but should have known when the drama began to emerge on everyone’s Facebook status’s.
I have been known to weep in final episodes of programs in the past and prepared myself for an absolute tear jerker. Maybe a moment as heart wrenching as the death of Denny Continue reading

I love the irony. On the night that I intend to enthusiastically blog about ‘project me’ and the future plans as it grows from strength to strength – well isn’t that the night that I have internet trouble, my computer is freezing and wordpress is denying me access.
I’m doing my best to maintain the enthusiasm but the blogging gremlins are out to ruin my fun. Go away gremlins!
So my day took an interesting turn. Continue reading
