I want a Little Sugar in my bowl by Nina Simone is my theme music today. HERE This woman has the most amazing voice, I only wish there was more footage of her singing live.
Well Very pleased to write I am keeping up with my diety exerciseness no boozy regime and thought I would do (in the fashion of Big Fat Losers) a weekly weigh in, which will be on Thursday.
Ran 2km in 20mins yesterday on a running machine. Im very lucky to be able to use these facilities when ever I want however, its about a 20 minute drive to get there which can be a pain. Oh the woes of living in Hobart, such luxuries to be complaining about a 20minute drive...
Because its obviously so not worth it!
Mum even gave me some of her home-made rissoles for
lunch and bub's dinner (mum's not the greatest cook at the best of times) but they were YUMMY and she assured me they were full of vegies.
Tip to mum use egg to bind rissoles better but still I no complain!
It is certainly a treat when I don't have to rack my brain trying to think about what little bubba might eat for dinner.
Here's a few little extra pictures of my main man feeding himself breakfast and feety sleepy in his pram after our walk.
So whats the thoughts about internet dating? Everyone seems to be doing it today, people getting married all over the place. It seems like a pretty common way to meet people and as a single mum my options are very slim. Ive had a few bad experiences though "being recognized" with internet suitors and (esp now with my obvious tattoos) I'm even less inclined to give it another go. I have a good friend who thinks I shouldn't be deterred but I beg to differ.
Bad Experience 1) Get cyber kisses from a tattooed fairly decent but serious looking (from picture) male. I respond. Chat opens up (he has to pay for that) and we chat for a few days on and off. My 'bubbly' (drunk) personality has apparently won him over and he wants to meet. Apparently I agree and Im set to meet for a coffee during his lunch break taxi driving, (CLassy). Meanwhile, my best friend has caught a taxi and low and behold she text me from the back seat (after seeing his picture) and tells me its him. She proceeds to strike up a conversation and gets a stone cold block head of a personality. I weigh up my options, decide there is no possible way I'm going to like this guy, no point in getting any kind of fake friendship/relationship even started by meeting and don't turn up to the set meeting. Call me lame, I didn't swap numbers and I didn't really give a toss. Anyway skip two YEARS plus, and another (girl)friend and I have been out drinking cocktails most of the night and hail a taxi to ride home. She lives up the road from me so its easy to travel together. I feel leering eyes on me even in my drunken state and look in the rear view mirror and GUESS WHO! No he couldn't possibly remember me, Id sent him a photo which was probably 10 years younger (in my heyday.. as you do) it will all be fine, he wouldn't say anything anyway. We stop at the petrol station to get munchies and just for good measure I ask my friend if I can be dropped off first I really didn't want to be alone in the taxi with this guy. Shes even more drunker than me (thats another rant about when people are drunker than me I tend to sober up stupidly fast) and yeah yeaaah yeahs it off, we get in the taxi not two minutes and she asks 'mizzzter taxii draver can u drop me up thiz street pluzee my frienz got to go down the hill.' Oh Hell No. Thanks ALOT mate. This kind of thing seems to happen to me alot! So she stumbles out of the taxi, slams the door, and he IMMEDIATELY turns around and says 'Hello Misty'. Talk about awkward.
Bad Experience 2) Location: My old place of work, a (basically) call center. Always completely brain fried by the end of the day, I wander out to the car park looking at my phone, open a car door thinking it was mine and finding it was not only someone else's car; he is actually sitting in the drivers side; I profusely apologize and get into my own car thinking nothing of it. Next day there is talk around the office of the 'incident' and that the (much older, totally not compatible on any level I might be interested in) fellow worker is asking questions about my availability. So then next few months continued with this, office workers teasing, probing, insinuating which is annoying but okay cause I know they are just as bored as me. Well one day he approaches me. 'Hello, my friend thinks he saw your picture on "internet dating website" and I was wondering if you are looking for a date because so am I' ... I immediately deny any knowledge of "internet dating website" any thoughts of looking for a date go home and delete my profile.
Bad Experience 3) Okay this isnt so bad, the guy was actually really cool but its a bad experience because I majorly fucked it up by getting nervous, drinking too much wine, getting a big red head and laughing like a lunatic at anything remotely funny he said. He contacted me once a few weeks later and said he'd been stationed in NSW for a while and would call me when he got back. He never called, but regardless I started seeing someone else and fell pregnant end of this story.
These are the stories I care to share ... hmm internet dating? Bye for now x
