*giggles*
I am over at my best friends place watching her and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gotica playing Monopoly. This was supposed to be a super fast game because they had double the money and could make their rules up as they went along. This includes doing things like selling of the property (with property attahced)one by one instead of paying rent which would cause the game to end. *shakes my head* People these days are nuts I tell you.
goth_kittie and mooncabbage made a Mexican feast for us to have for dinner... and OMG it was so yummy! Am so doing my own Mexican night sometime soon! And the flan she made for dessert was also awesomeness.
The boys are watching something bizarre... we'll leave it at that... suffice to say it is so very weird :)
It's been awesome to just sit back and share laughs with close friends with no further expectations than to know everyone has had a good time. I love these times so much.
Oh! QOTD for yesterday which made me laugh so much:
M: C! Share half a kit kat with me!
C thinks about it for a minute
C: My belly says yes. My lips say yes. My brain says yes.
M: I take it it's a yes then?
C: My hips say no, but who the hell listens to them anyways???
I cracked up laughing. So much for democracy! :)

Things which amuse me
Zac came over on Sunday with the rest of the family for brunch for Doof's birthday. After everyone left, he helped me make more muffins seeing as the ones we made earlier all got eaten and Mum and Leanne wanted some to take home.
So he pulls the chair over to the kitchen to help me, he beats the eggs, sifts the flour and mixes the muffin batter and helps me mix it some more when the apples are added. Then he helped spoon them into the muffin tins (getting more on the sides than in the tins) and we throw them in the oven.
We wait for them to cool before I put them in a Tupperware container for mum. Mum, Leanne and Zac then go to leave. Zac climbs into the back of my sister's car, and then says to Mum "Nana, I can hold my muffins now!" My sister turned around and says to him "your muffins? I asked Tia to make them" and he retorts "my muffins cause I helped Tia make them!"
*giggles* I think that's a fair call! :)

Letter to Doof Part I don't know
Dear Doof,
It's your birthday again! I can't believe it has come around so fast again. I can't believe you've survived aother year with me.! Wow! Greater miracles have happened :)
But I wanted to take the time to note to you how much you delight me and fill me with joy, and how I really can't imagine my life without you. In the words of Kelly Clarkson: "My life would suck, without you".
So here's to today. May it be wonderful and full of all the things you love and adore (like me!!! :) )*grins* And please know how very much I love and adore you.
Happy birthday my love! :)
Lots of love forever and a day,
Me

[Link] | A segment of a dream from last night which was just weird.
I was reading a book, and I stopped on a short story which had been written by a child. This was the short story:
Joooooiiiice! she cried. Mummy, I want jooooooice! Mummy, we had to do something in class yesterday which asked all of our friends how well they knew us, and I realised I am very lucky. I get along so well with Nanna and Mark (well as well as anyone can get on with their brother) and I was talking to Chantelle today and she doesn't have any brothers or sisters, and she didn't know anything about them. But she got all the questions wrong and I yelled at her and made her cry. And the teacher told me I had to be nice, that it wasn't nice to make other people cry. She said to me How would you feel if no one wanted to sit next to you in class? And I said to her I would feel good. The teacher asked me why and I said because I like my own company, and if I like my own company I will never be lonely. By the way mum, that was the best burnt toast ever!
So.. as far as dreams fo, that was kind of weird and obscure. But you know what? The message of liking your own company was kind of cool I thought. :) I pick weird bits and pieces up... I know :)

May I just say...
That both my convenors are awesomecookies.
They both sat there and listened to me, made the right kind of placating soothing noises, pretended they listened to me in depth, and let me temporarily think I was in charge. What more can a girl ask for on a Thursday night?
My favourite comment of the evening was this:
People think we don't have enough females on our committee. I think I will say to them next time, you haven't been to one of our committee meetings. Then you'll see who's really in charge :)
*giggles*
I am delighted I have the chance to work with what is shaping up to be another awesome team. and I am finding strangely enough that I am looking forward to the challenge.

Conversations which amuse me
Doof and I were driving home from work today and had the following conversation which made me giggle:
M: What's the best part about being married Doof?
D: Never being lonely
M: What's the worst part about being married?
D: (cheekily) Never being lonely
M: You know, we can fix that...
D: But then I'd lonely
M: No, actually you'd be dead :)
*giggles*
He amuses me and delights me so much :) I adore the conversations I have with him :)

*giggles to myself*
You know, there's a certain dubiousness in having a friend you can say 'let's talk about bodily functions', sitting down having that conversation and ending up giggling on the floor. I should be disturbed by this, but I find instead I am intricately amused at how both our minds work, and that fact that I have someone I can do this with on a frequent occurence.
It made being sick all the more worthwhile :)

[Link] | I have spent today in bed alternating between feeling really cold, and really hot once my doonas warm me up. It's taking a lot of effort to sit at my desk and not have a pounding headache. I don't feel a very well little chicken at all.
Doof is taking me to the doctors and I am hoping he will tell me that it's just shock and not a low grade fever coming through :( Bah humbug....

Reminder for myself
"It took some time just to bring me here, nobody's going to put me down, do I make myself clear?"
- Yes. Yes, you do. Very clearly.

On being appreciated
From Jase earlier today:
You rock lindy loo
What would work do without you
They would be stuck without your friendly face
Inviting people to this place
The skills and augor you bing
Power the machine that goes ding
In the heart of the bricks
And all the sticks
That hold up the roof
And stop us from being aloof
So you rock you hear
And to us lot you are very dear
So the poetry is bad, but the sentiment embodied in the message he sent me was awesome. It was nice to be told I rock, when I have been struggling so much in myself to find the good things. This is what makes it all worthwhile...

Thoughts on me
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and reassessing. Lots has been happening and lots more is still to come but I needed to take some time out and do a mental reassessment of my life and everything I am doing.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I needed to take a break from some things. At one point, I was trying to be on two committees, keep up with my SES stuff, train at SES, work full time, study full time, do flowers on the side, keep up with my family and still socialise. It wasn’t working. And I am realising this.
So… I pulled out of uni the other day. Discontinued my units for this semester, and I will be taking a break from study next semester to give myself a chance to recharge and recuperate. There is a part of me that is completely disappointed in myself for not being able to manage this and handle my time schedule better. I feel I’ve let everyone else around me down and I feel like I have disappointed doof completely.
But there’s another part of me that realises that this year has been physically hard. I’ve had a lot happen in this year already and we aren’t even half way through the year. I’ve attended more funerals than I want to think about this year, I’ve had lots of crap happen on the work front which has been emotionally challenging and draining. I’ve picked up training at SES as an added role. I’ve organised several events already this year. I’ve done about 4 flowers jobs – which given this is meant to be on the side, is still quite a lot of extra work for me. I look at the things I have done, and think, no I am perfectly capable of doing all I am doing and more.
And I know I am. But the reality of it is, I’ve been juggling full time work and full time study (supposed to only be part time but I am doing three units a semester with a points load of between 9 – 12 points per semester which is the equivalent of full time study) for two years now. I’m surprised it has taken this long for me to feel it as hard as I have found this semester going. I’m feeling weary, I’m feeling emotionally drained, and I’m needing more hugs and cuddles from people to help me get through.
So mental re-evaluation says it’s time to take a break. Stop, smell the roses, recharge and hopefully come out feeling a little bit better. If I am supposed to have done stuff for you, please forgive me and remind me. I will be using this fallow time to reconnect with myself, with my husband and hopefully reassess everything.

Bahahaha! :)
I contemplated sending an email so that one of the friends I went out with last night could brag to people at work. This was what I came up with.
I had a wonderful time last night. It was enthralling being able to sit down with a group of people who are like minded and who are not afraid to lay future plans together. To think, within minutes of sitting down to dinner, we were able to make long term future plans.
A wonderful dinner followed by a wonderful performance. There is great pleasure in knowing whilst I was doubled over, you were right there beside me. There was a certain synchronicity to our tears streaming down our face and it was pure magic. I ache all over. I like that you derived so much pleasure, you were also in pain :)
The tight, bendy places you backed me into have stretched and challenged me in many ways. I'm glad I came out on top.
The context:

To think, within minutes of sitting down to dinner, we were able to make long term future plans. (like what songs we would like played at our funerals)
A wonderful dinner followed by a wonderful performance (the show, the show!). There is great pleasure in knowing whilst I was doubled over (with laughter), you were right there beside me. There was a certain synchronicity to our tears streaming down our face and it was pure magic. I ache all over (from laughing so hard). I like that you derived so much pleasure, you were also in pain :)(he had to lean forward because he had a stitch from laughing so hard).
The tight, bendy places you backed me into (whilst we were playing Scrabble) have stretched and challenged me in many ways. I'm glad I came out on top (and won!)
It was truly an innocent night! We went to dinner at Woodpeckers, then went to Danny Bhoy (separate post to come) and went back to my place where C and N joined us after their movie for a game of Scrabble. Though if you take the retelling it doesn't sound like it and just made me laugh. When I'm good, I'm very, very good and when I'm bad I am so much better :)

Funeral songs
Leece asked the other day given it was her dad's funeral, what three songs you would have played at your funeral.
I asked goth_kittie about this later on that night as we were sitting there chatting. Her first two choices cracked me up. She'd have Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead as well as Staying Alive. The third stumped her a little... and I was sitting there minding my own business and casually chatting with her, when it hit me what the perfect third song would be! Ring of Fire!!!
I posted this to her, and apparently she loved it so much she fell of her chair with tears streaming down her face.
Doof looked at me a little strangely. I think that might have had something to do with the fact that I was sitting there quietly, and then all of a sudden I was going "And it burns, burns, burns, like a ring of fire, LIKE A RING OF FIRE!!! Loudly.
We talked about how cool that would be as a song, especially for a crematorium and pissed ourselves laughing some more. Is it bad that we amused ourselves so thoroughly with such a bizarre topic???
For the record, the lyrics to Dream a Little Dream which was one of my songs:
( Lyrics )
