Wow...

Feels like forever since I've had the time just to sit and think...

The engagement party went well, probably better than well actually! I didn't realise we had so many friends. Haha. No, seriously, it was really fun and just good to catch up with people we hadn't seen in awhile. And there was SO MUCH food!!! Neither of us got to eat anything as we were so busy socialising.

Needless to say, there are no pictures - also due to socialising.

I have lost a flatmate and I don't know where he is...am marginally worried. And our internet is playing up again...hmmm...

Am making tea for the boy and I - we have the house to ourselves tonight, which doesn't happen very often around here!

Saturday

Woke up SO early today...about an hour later than I normally would on a work day! Sucks. Have been in bed all this time but about to get up and make yummy breakfast and real brewed coffee. Deserve a treat damnit! Then will bake and do dishes and possibly laundry.

Engagement party tonight and fingers are numb from being out from under the covers....

Competence still enroute?

It's kind of like a "it's in the post" feeling, y'know?

I've been working at my job for close to five months now. Do I love it? Heck, yes! The people are great and we have so much fun - even when it's stressful. Do I have the faintest idea of what I'm doing? Well, every so often I think I do...and then it turns out that actually I don't really.

I closed a campaign that probably made the paper $30,000 this last week. Crazy eh! Course, I don't see the thousands of dollars...but it's a nice feeling nonetheless.

Funny how it's things like that that actually give me job satisfaction. Like, I did a good job, I am awesome and I love my job. Sometimes we're so newspaper cliche that it amuses me no end. Like the yelling and the swearing and the - for lack of a better word - "play fighting". When the big boss man comes barreling out of his office yelling it always strikes me as something that J. Jonah Jameson would do. Admittedly he's an editor and we're talking advertising. But still! It's almost as cool as working for the Bugle...

Guess who's back, back again...

It's that time of year again...the temperature drops to single digits (if we're lucky!) or the negatives (as it's supposed to do tonight!). Getting out of bed is hard, the flannellette sheets come out, as does the big wool blanket and the hot water bottle.

Yes, winter is well and truly here.

It's cold.

I wish I could hibernate....
