Thankful Thursday

Here's a few of the things I am thankful for this week.

I am really really happy today after a text convo I had with Kevin last night.

costco - A trade warehouse, originally in the USA, now worldwide, they have loads of foods and electrical goods, clothing and sporting goods. We've been members for a good few years and I always look forward to being able to go and find something new.

My Iphone - yes again. I'm learning new things about it every day.

Mine and Kevin's patience. Kevin finally got a call from Calico about a flat he has had his eye on. Now we just have to wait for them to give him the keys so we can go and have a look at it! I can't wait to see what it's like and hopefully he'll move in and I can start making my mark on it!!!

Totally Awkward Tuesday

Totally Awkward Tuesday again. This weeks story is a short one.

Kevin and I had been seeing each other for a couple of months and had been out for a few drinks, before going back to his place.

He had said that I should stay there, as my folks were out for the night. So I did.

Kevin had not checked it ok with his mom though and the next morning he got up and went downstairs to make us both a brew.

As he went downstairs, his mom got up and came to ask him if he wanted a brew. Imagine the surprise when she found me in his bed. I couldn't look her in the eyes for a good few months after that.

Totally Awkward Tuesday

TAT Tuesday. Yes It's time for Totally Awkward Tuesday again. This week I'd Like to share the story of my obsession with a certain Kevin. No not my Kevin. This is another Kevin. My first crush.

We were both in 6th Grade and sat opposite sides of the classroom. Our desks were very similar to the ones you see in american high schools only they were arranged in sets of four or more, like a table. Our teacher had arranged it so we were sat two of each sex at the same table. Anyway back to Kevin. I used to sit across from Danny, with whom I am still quite good friends, Kevin sat opposite and adjacent to me on the same side as Mr Brown's desk. I used to stare at him, pretending I was looking out of the window.

I remember the day well.  It's still etched in the back of my mind. We had just come back from lunch and were preparing for our final lesson of the day. Physical Education. Today was cross country running. I was not a particulary good runner, never have been, I could run just not very well. Anyway, school had decided that the girls would wear their gym skirts. The boys their shorts. So off we went to get changed, we were to meet on the top playground. Mr Brown told us to run up the hill, down the other side, across the playing field to the bottom, round and back up the hill and back down. Everything was going fine, of course the boys were all showing off and were soon back on the playground, teasing each other, laughing and joking at a certain male who hated Physical Education.

I was at the top of the hill on my way back down to the playground, when suddenly my foot slipped from under me and I went head first down the hill and landed in the puddle of mud at the bottom. Everyone, including Kev was laughing at me. I never did cross country again! My crush on Kev soon disappeared after that!

How I met You!

I'd like to share my story of how I met my wonderful Fiance Kevin with you.

I'd already met him once or twice at my friend Danielle's house. Kevin and Danielle used to work together and had become good friends outside of work. I had called round one Saturday afternoon and Kevin happened to stop by to drop off some movies that he had promised her. We simply said hello and that was that. I have to admit that I didn't really fancy Kevin much at this point. To me, he was simply Danielle's friend Kev.

Then a couple of years later, Danielle had gone off travelling round australia, being Danielle, she ran out of money and had to come back home. I had also become good friends with her sister Leonie, now Leonie had planned a surprise 25th Wedding Anniversary Party for her folks, who had no idea about the party. Leonie and her boyfriend Mark had planned their engagement party for the same night. Anyway back to "How I Met You."

As the even got into full swing, I was happily chatting away to some mutual friends of mine and Danielle's, and Kevin's too, when Chris said...."Kevin keeps looking over at you." "Yeah, let him." I didn't bother as I kind of still had a soft spot for my ex, who was also at the party. But come the end of the night, Kevin and I had swapped numbers and arranged to go out for a meal the following Saturday.

I decided to go out for a meal with him to see what happened next...we chatted and got to know each other but I still didn't fancy him much at this point, then one monday night or was it tuesday (I can't remember ) I was with my friend talking about him and we were phone flirting with each other. I got home and wrote Kevin a long letter, explaining how I really felt about him and we arranged to meet up for a drink the following day. I gave him the letter and he read it when he got home. He phoned me the next day, as it was late and that was it. We were offically seeing each other. We've been together for three years now and I love him more than anything else in the world. Thankyou for being my fiance Kevin...I love you. xxx

Thankful for Friday

Today I'm thankful for this. Water refreshes me better than tea or coffee. I usually get through between 3-4 50cl bottles a day.

Lately I've been feeling a bit groggy and think I may have a touch of the old flu...(not swine flu coz I wouldn't be here typing this.)  These are fab. Last time I felt like this I only took four and felt much better the next day.

Twitterific Application for my iphone. I can keep up to date when I like. And tweet when I like.

This too. Blogpress App. Ok so I may not blog from it a lot...but i think its dead handy to have because you just never know when you might want to share something on the go.

Again my iphone is on this list.

How I'm feeling in Five photos today.

Sleepy

A little depressed on the job front. We have a staff meeting tonight, I don't feel like a member of staff anymore, seeing I am only doing one shift a week! Sort it out, or I'll be forced to resign!!!

For the eventual release of iBluenova for the iphone....

Totally Loved up ready for Saturday night being wined and dined at a new chinese restaurant we have yet to try.

I Want Wednesday

Nothing really on my want list this week...

Apart from this...

Ibluenova is basically bluetooth for your iphone. The old version ibluetooth was not compatible with my newer 3Gs so I have to wait for this to come out. The iphone you see, does not support bluetooth file transfer, like many of our other phones such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Blackberry etc. So this application will be a god send when it's finally released. No more having to carry my trusty old Sony Ericsson K800i.

Oh and these too...

Totally Awkward Tuesday

Have you ever had one of those Awkward Moments....you know the ones I mean.

Well hopefully every week from now on, I'll be sharing one of mine with you.

Totally Awkward Tuesday Tuesday 9 February 2010.

Remember when you were in High school and there was this one boy you used to have a major crush on?

We'll call him D J.

It all started in Year 8..(8th grade for my friends over in the states). He was our star soccer player. All the girls swooned over him. You can imagine my surprise when D J started taking an interest in me. I wasn't the best looking girl in our year, there were plenty more good looking girls. The ones on the Netball team would be far better suited for someone as fit as D J. Anyway to cut to the chase we went out for a couple of weeks, we hung out, mainly at school because he lived in the next town and in those days, the bus services were crap basically.  We shared our lunch together, then we went our seperate ways for summer vacation. 

Then when the start of the new semester came,  DJ seemed different, he didn't want to be seen talking to me. Whenever he saw me approaching, he'd turn and walk off. He'd avoid me at lunchtimes, at breaks, after school etc. Someone said he'd started seeing one of the other girls in our year. Someone on the Netball team. I knew who they meant straight away. She'd had her eye on DJ for quite some time, so I knew it was her. 

So to cut a long story shorter, we had a soccer match with one of the other schools in our area, it was a love hate relationship. Everyone had gathered on our sports field to watch this joyous event. As the lads began to warm up, I noticed DJ grinning at someone, he had come to his senses and was grinning at me. He waved, so I waved back. Soon the game began and DJ picked up two goals within the first half, he came over at half time and pushed past me and into the arms of the girl I had known he had wanted to date all along. The Netball teams Captain, CL. it seems he wasn't waving at me, but at CL. 

I haven't seen or spoken to him since we left high school.  Well maybe he's commented on my facebook status but that's it.  

Random Pictures

Here are a few random pictures I would like to share with you. From the snow in Dandenong North, to the sunny beaches of Cairns and Melbourne in the distance to the beautiful brights lights of the banks of the Yarra at night.

God I miss you Melbourne...
