It's December tomorrow!!!

Just thought I'd state the obvious.

LOOK!!!!!!

Wonderful, fantastic, amazing, incredible...............and I'm not just talking about the Harry Potter film!!!!

Ah, I've had the most lovely weekend with my beloved Dean. It's so depressing being back in my room gloomily contemplating having to go to work tomorrow when about 5 hours ago I was in his arms. Feel very lonely. Trying to be positive and concentrate on looking forward to seeing him again.

The wee cabin we stayed in was really nice and cosy. Harry Potter was brilliant. I thought it was definitely the best film yet. I think you get to know the characters more in this one rather than it just being a chain of events.

Hopefully getting my piano at the end of the week or start of next week.

Vive le Weekend!!!

I can't wait until the weekend!!!!!! Going to see my darling man! This week is going so slowly, I need a fast forward button!! I'll also get to have a few pints of cider with my mate Jax at the weekend and hopefully go to see Harry Potter with my beloved. I don't think I've ever looked forward to anything as much as I'm looking forward to this weekend.

I'm concerned I'm being too optimistic though. I'm not used to being optimistic. I usually worry something will go wrong so I'm prepared in case it does. But Dean makes me feel all optimistic and happy and things hehe.

I better talk about something else before people stop reading if they haven't done already!!

Had a very good driving lesson this morning. Was feeling much more confident and I'm starting to get the hang of the clutch. Dad is going to take me out a few times as well. I think he's taking me out this afternoon. I passed my ECDL module last night as well hehe. I can't believe how good my life is at the moment. I'm so lucky.

Coat update.........

I returned the previously mentioned rubbish coat and went to Dorothy Perkins and bought a much better and more functional coat which fits very nicely and was £15 cheaper and it has a detachable hood which is always fun.

Bah!!

I've got a sore throat and feel all gooey. Think I'm getting the cold. I'm missing my darling man as well, but I'll be seeing him in 5 days. But then I'll have to come back and leave him again. I'm very negative today!!

I bought a winter coat which I'm in desparate need of, but when I tried it on at home, it's not right so it has to go back. I can't seem to find a good functional winter coat anywhere. The shops are full of trendy fashion type coats that would be no use in a shower of rain.

Can't really think what else to write about. I'm going to have a cup of soup.

Well, I've finally met my someone wonderful and he is even more wonderful in person. His name is Dean and he has beautiful brown eyes hehe. I wish we'd had longer together, he was only really here for an evening and a morning. We're going to try and see each other at least once a month. It's hard to believe he's already been and gone after all the time we waited to meet. Feel sad that he's gone, but happy that I'm going to see much more of him in the future. I had a wonderful time with him. I was nervous meeting him at the start even though I was almost certain things would be fine. As soon as I met him though, I felt really comfortable with him. He's very special. I miss him already.

Another internet meeting success story :)

Setbacks

Bah!!It's annoying when things don't go to plan. However, postponement is better than cancellation and the best things are always worth waiting for. I'm still going to get my man :)

Ceilidh Photos

Here are some pics from the Ceilidh I went to at the end of July at my friend Jackie's house near Forres. It was a ceilidh for her sister's 21st. It was great fun. I felt like I was in Monarch of the Glen!!

This is my friend Sammy who used to land on the kitchen windowsill of my flat in Aberdeen. He was Bart's friend too, as you can see!!

Where have all the bees gone?

Last night I had a dream about bees. Well I think it was last night. I don't believe that when something triggers a memory of a dream that it was necessarily last night that we had it. It could have been a few nights ago, a week ago etc. There's no way of knowing really is there?

Anyway, enough of my dream philosophy; there were lots of bees flying out of a shed thing and all around me. In real life this would terrify me, but in the dream it was comforting and calming. After a while the bees stopped coming out of the shed and I was wondering where all the bees had gone. I looked around and noticed they were flying about everywhere. They weren't in swarms, just loads and loads flying about happily and they weren't making any noise. The place I was in was really idyllic as well. I found these definitions:


Bees
Activity. Productivity. Social life. Happiness in life. Success in love. Good earnings. Bees signify pleasant and profitable engagements

and this one

Bees
To see bees in your dream, symbolizes good luck, harmony, and bliss. Bees are also symbolic of work and industry as represented by the common phrase "busy as a bee."


I'm glad it means something good!!

looks like I'm more mature than I thought

You Are 23 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Oh look it's November!

Hello again. It'll be Christmas soon before we know it, blimey! We have Christmas decorations on sale at work and Boots are using Christmassy carrier bags hehe. I think I have a Boots addiction. Since I work just next door to it, I'm always popping in on my breaks and buying myself nice things and I love Boots meal deals. I always get chicken fahijta salad for my lunch and a bag of grapes and a smoothie for my break. I bought some nice Sanctuary Spa stuff yesterday, it was on a 3 for 2 offer. I spend so much money in Boots!! Today I went for a walk round to Superdrug and realised I would save money going there instead, but Boots is right next door!! I'm too lazy!

Last night, being Hallowe'en, there were fireworks going off all over the place. Me, being boring didn't go out to see the huge fireworks display in town or get dressed up and go on a pub crawl with my work colleagues. I had mum's home-made apple pie and my spiced apple cider drink mum brought me from New York and that was the extent of my participation in Hallowe'en. I can never really be bothered with it, even as a child I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about it. Some French man asked me today why there were fireworks everywhere last night and what it all meant. They musn't have Hallowe'en in France. I don't think they have it in the rest of Europe. It's a celtic festival and the only reason they have it in America is because British and Irish people brought the tradition over when they emigrated. They seem to celebrate it more than us though which is odd. They also celebrate St Patrick's Day more than us. In fact we don't really celebrate St Patrick's day, well not in Belfast and Northern Ireland much anyway although in recent years there have been attempts to organise St Patrick's Day parades. I can't really be bothered with St Patrick's Day either. I'm sounding like such a miserable sod now hehe. Anyway, here is a good link that explains things about Hallowe'en . I have never heard of any of the Irish traditions it talks about. I know the one it says is English though, about singing the Punkie song. Well I think it's the same song. We sing this:

"Hallowe'en's coming up and the goose is getting fat,

Please put a penny in the old man's hat

If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do

If you haven't got a ha'penny,

Then God bless you"

We used to make lanterns out of turnips and go round the doors singing that song and people would give us money for entertaining them. Does anyone else know that song?

Ah, well. I'm off work now until Monday hurrah!! I need to buy new clothes in preparation for my favourite person coming on the 14th!!!! hehe . I'm also on the hunt for a piano. I was hoping to have one by the time my favourite person comes so I can play for him, but even if I do buy one in the next week, we won't be able to have it delivered until mum and dad have decorated the room it's going into. It's probably going to be another month before I have it.

I have another driving lesson tomorrow, I feel like giving up. I seem to have come to a point where I'm not progressing at all and the lessons are so expensive!! People keep telling me it'll all come together one day, but I can't see it. The instructor tells me I'm doing better than most people would be at this stage, but I think he's just saying that.
