*knock knock* Anyone home?

It's been a while since I've last blogged. I've been meaning to blog, but have lacked ideas for posts. Life is moseying along nicely, with nothing noteworthy to report.

August already? Where is this year going?! Yesterday marked 4 months of singledom. That time has flown and they've been an interesting but fantastic 4 months. In that time friendships have grown, and new ones made. A couple lost along the way, but in love and frienships, if it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be.

Life continues to be wonderful. The rollercoaster seems to have turned into a lovely steady train ride. There was a slight derailment just recently, but that ended up being a blessing in disguise. As mentally draining as it was, I think I needed the release. It was also great to share that moment with M, as we were able to learn more about each other. He's seen me at my worst now, but is still willing to be in my life, so I'm a happy camper.

Physically I'm not feeling *quite* so wonderful, but that's my own fault. I've decided it's time for a health-makeover. My stomach hasn't been happy with me lately, so it's time to listen to my body and to nourish it with good food, and a lot less fast food. If I've got the energy to walk to the shops and buy crap for dinner, I've got the energy to stand in the kitchen and cook a proper meal.
I'm sick of looking down and seeing a gut. The scales might tell me a number I'm happy with, but the reflection in the mirror isn't one I'm quite as happy about. Bye-bye flab, hello fab.

On that delightful note, I should probably start getting ready for work. We've moved up in the world and are a whole floor higher than we were last week. I'm happy with the seating arrangement for the first time ever, so it'll be a nice change.

Happy Monday readers, and I hope your lives are moseying along nicely too.

Clarity

So. I did what I had to do and I'm sure the time that I am posting this (9.35pm) is indicative of how well it went.

However, I am glad that I am home at this time. I tried to enjoy myself but my heart wasn't in it, and I knew it wasn't where I'm supposed to be.
I'm really glad that that was the case too, because I'm liking, no LOVING, the way my life is going at the moment and I really didn't want to throw a spanner in the works. I'm happy to mosey along with things they way I have been and enjoy each day.

I got some fantastic news today too. Looks like it's going to be three fabulous weekends in a row for me.

Dear readers, I hope you are all as happy with your lives right now as I am with mine. If not, I hope you find that happiness very very soon.

Friendship, Exercise & New Ink

This last week has been fantastic. M and I have been chatting every night and we had a sleepover last night to watch State of Origin. It was such a fantastic night. Once again, I felt ridiculously comfortable in his presence. Such an awesome feeling :)

He's encouraging me to get my butt into gear and exercise. I was all ready to sit in my room and veg out online in my trackie-dacks, but somehow he convinced me to go the gym, so off I went and did a pretty full-on cardio workout. Now I've got the bug again, and am seriously considering walking home from work tomorrow (about 5kms). I need to get myself fit and do some serious training for the Bridge to Brisbane which is fast approaching (30th August). I'm determined to beat last years time, which I'm sure I'll do fairly comfortably, but I'd really like to better it by about 9 minutes.

And in other news, I booked myself in for my next tattoo! At 3pm on Saturday, this happy little blogger will arrive at the tattoo parlour, and shortly after, the needle will hit the skin and the inking will begin! I'm getting two wings on my lower back. I'll be sure to post pictures. A sure indication that ink is addictive - I got my first only 10 weeks ago!

Hope everything is well for you all, dear readers .

High On Life

Don't say I didn't warn you that I ride quite the emotional rollercoaster!!

Here I am, back at the top of the rollercoaster, and I'm hoping I stay up here for a while. Not keen to go zooming back down thanks!

It all started with a fantastic weekend. I met my new friend M, and ended up spending the next 36 hours with him. They were 36 of the most awesome hours ever. I haven't felt that comfortable in someones presence for a long time (ever?). I can't even remember the last time I spent that much time with someone! No awkwardness, just awesomeness. It really makes me smile.

Today was a bit of a blah day at work, and I did have a bit of a whinge to my colleague at lunchtime. I also very nearly fell asleep. Oops.

A second wind hit me when I got home though (or perhaps it was the sugar from the chocolate I had) and I was disgustingly/delightfully productive. I went for a walk to return a DVD (was cranky with myself for not wearing the appropriate clothing to jog! Shock!), before I left I put a load of washing on. I cooked myself a proper-ish meal, transferred the clothes to the dryer, coloured my hair, shaved legs and armpits ... Unheard of for me on a weeknight! Especially a Monday night!

Then it all improved when I was invited to watch State of Origin with M on Wednesday night. I'm really looking forward to hanging out with him again. Oh, and bless him, he's even going to pick me up from work and drop me off in the morning. He's seriously a totally lovely guy, and I feel so happy to have met him. Yes, I realise I'm talking about 'Yet Another Guy' but meh. I'm single and I'll do what I want. I have faith that this is the start of a wonderful friendship.

Right now, my life rocks.
