You hear the most amazing things in women's changing rooms!
I was trying on some clothes, obviously, when I overheard a couple of girls in the cubicle next to mine. To get the full picture you need to understand that I was in a lingerie shop...
One of the girls must have had a big night planned because she was saying she wanted something sexy, but easy to remove. At this I started to get the giggles. (*grin*)
I was searching ebay when I came across this. It would be a good investment for the future.
You Are 24 Years Old |
 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. |
This will be my second Christmas since my Grandmother died from cancer, and it is affecting me more this year than it did last year. I think it's because I actually hated her for a while after she died because of the way she treated my mother towards the end, and so didn't affect me last year, but time is healing those feelings.
We didn't have the best relationship when I was younger; in fact she despised me almost as much as she despised my father. Thankfully this changed after my uncle intervened and we became closer.
I find myself constantly thinking of her at odd moments and wondering what she would make of the things happening in my life and what advice she would give me.
I had an excellent time at my floor's Christmas party after work on Friday night! I had quite a number of drinks and even acquired a "husband".
The story starts with a colleague "Ace". From the moment he arrived, he had a young woman hanging around him, wanting his attention. He had told her that he was married with children, but this did not seem to deter her at all. At one point he and I were sitting, watching everyone else when she came over and started chatting to him again, wanting him to go on the dancefloor with her. He then introduced me as his "wife". Again, this did not deter her, and she continued trying to get him on to the dance floor.
He turned to me and asked, "Is it okay for me to go on the dance floor honey?" Not one to miss a trick, I responded, "Sure you can, sweetie." I was happy for him to go, but no, he dragged me along as well! Some time after this, I was on the dance floor with other colleagues - you know the feeling when you get the "evil eye"? Well, I was getting it from this girl, BIG TIME!
Again, later in the evening we were again sitting down when she came and joined us and must have asked him if he had proposed on bended knee. He responded that he had and that I didn't give him an answer for a week, after which he begged for an answer.
Now, I found this all highly amusing (*evil grin*) and found it hard to keep the smile off my face. My cheeks were sore from trying not to smile! Kudos to Ace!!
I went to the dentist today. I'll admit it has been a while since I've been (a couple of years - bad Dette!) As it was a dentist I had not been to before, I had to fill out some forms. It asked the standard questions: name, address, phone number, date of birth, allergies, medications and medical conditions.
This was okay but then it asked for my occupation, name of employer, employer's address and phone number and also wanted to know which health fund I belong to! It's none of their business who I work for, it is not my employer paying for my dental work and it shouldn't make any difference which health fund I am with!
It seems that big brother is definietly watching!
I thought I would share a few of these with you:
I could go on and on, but thought I should limit myself, lest I end up on someone's blog as one of the things that ticks them off! :)
I've been off work since Thursday, just so I could see the latest Harry Potter film. Sad isn't it? My logic was that I was always going to have the Thursday off to see it, so I may as well have the Friday off too.
I loved the film, but was disappointed that they weren't more true to the book about some things which I think will be important for the rest of the series. But that is just me.
Friday I partook in some retail therapy before coming home and dashing out for my work's building Christmas party (make sense?). The theme was Las Vegas, and boy, there were some brave women there! I was greeted in our basement by 3 lovely showgirls wearing full regalia (think Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality 2 in the Mini) and a full size roulette table.
I only stayed for 15 minutes until I could track down my workmate whom I'd planned on going with. It turns out that she was at the train station, just about to go home because I was running late (damn train). We ended up walking through David Jones & Myer to check out their Christmas displays - Myer wins hands down - on our way home.
On my way home I decided to treat myself to some Baskin Robbins ice-cream. I sat in my car at my local regional park and watched the kangaroos coming out to feed at dusk. It was extremely relaxing.
On Sunday I caught up with a friend for a pub lunch and a movie - Flightplan. Predictable, but good. I loved the previews! I want to see Memoirs of a Geisha and Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I think I'd like to read the books for both first before seeing them.
So, that was my weekend! Now I have to work up the enthusiasm for work tomorrow - yay work!
Can anyone tell me the difference?
I've always believed that I am a Cancerian but Blogger is telling me that I am a Virgo. My birthday doesn't fall on the cusp, so I am confused.
Maybe it can sense my other personalities?
