I really think blogspot should get an iPhone app
It would be so much easier!
This weekend was a really awesome weekend. Last night I went to Leigh's again and we ate my delicious, though not quite solid ice cream log and shared it with his family. I liked that I had someone other than myself and Leigh to eat something I cooked and that they seemed to enjoy it.
Then he spent the evening playing Fable and I continued reading my book. I was in the best mood though. I felt so content, relaxed, forgiving and tolerant, and stress free. I still feel just as good. It's so nice to finally feel completely happy and content. I'm so glad the days where we could do our own thing but still enjoy each others company are back.
I'm honestly now the happiest I've been in a long time, and all the issues and bumps are finally smoothing out and I'm feeling like everything is working out at last. It was a long time coming, but so worth the wait and all the crap I've been through over the last year :)
I'm starting to feel more secure too. I don't have to question myself or other people about everything anymore.
Weekends like last weekend are the reason I look forward to the future :)

Today I made a lemon meringue ice cream log, which is currently in the freezer getting nice and cold. Hopefully it will be ready for dessert tonight so Leigh and I can hoe into it while playing Lego Harry Potter or something.
We watched Benchwarmers last night, and I wasn't too sure about it at first but it was actually hilarious! It's been ages since I laughed that hard in a movie. We had yummy La Lupa for dinner and played a few new songs by the Shins and MXPX on Rockband and got a tonne of achievements before we went to sleep.
I'm not sure if I will ever feel refreshed in the morning ever again D:
Ooh, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part I comes out next week. I am excited to see it. It looks epic! I have just booked tickets for Leigh and I :)
I just realised today how busy this month is already. I have 6 shows over the next two weeks, as well as my work Christmas party, Kathryn's laser tag birthday party, Tim's Captain America feast, another possible party next Friday, not to mention work, movies, rehearsals, dinners with friends, a hair appointment and volleyball. I'm not even sure I'll bother with horse riding until after this month is over. I just don't know where I'll have time.
Hopefully work wont get too crazy in the next three weeks. I think we'll have to do some extra hours at some point, but hopefully it wont be until December when the catalogue starts and go into super Christmas mode. Although I even have quite a few things already planned for December, so that's not going to be much better.
Bring on February and my two weeks holidays!

In my shoes.
I'm not entirely sure how to word this, even though it's something I think about a lot, and scenarios float around in my head almost constantly. I feel like a lot of the decisions I have made in my life are judged harshly. It's something I've always lived with, something I learned to deal with, and something I have even used as a weapon from time to time. Doing something that someone doesn't approve of just to show that their bad opinion wont influence me.
I have never regretted a single decision I ever made. I am more than happy with the person I have become, and not one person knows me better than myself, or my reasons for doing the things I do. The things I have done in my lifetime have all contributed to my reaching this place in my life where I have every goal I have ever had well within my reach. Everything that has ever been important to me seems like it's lining up in front of me, like stepping stones, and all I have to do is step out and I'm there.
The journey has not been all great, and I will admit that some things happened along the way that I wish hadn't had to happen, things that still hurt to think about and that still cause me to feel upset and insecure every now and then.
But the greatest things that I ever hoped to happen to me are now at my fingertips, and for that, I wouldn't give up any of the shitty stuff I have been through.
To those who judge me, who think worse of me for decisions I made, I just wanted you to know that I am happy with my choices. Thanks for caring ;)

Hot, sticky, gross, and not about to shower!
Waiting for a phone call to figure out if I am going to go horse riding today or tomorrow. I am exhausted but no way in hell am I giving up a chance to go riding.
Last night was amazing! It was definitely an interesting night in a number of ways. Leigh and Adam both got searched for drugs after a sniffer dog decided it liked them, even though neither of them have anything to do with drugs. It was kind of funny when the dog sat down on Adam's feet and the cops did the full search. When they got Leigh later it was kind of just annoying due to how cold it was.
I finally managed to defeat Leigh in a game of pool, after three years of trying to do so. It looked like I was going to lose when I had 6 balls left compared to his 1, but after he sank one of mine I started to do well. Last turn I got my last two balls in and then magically sunk the 8 ball in a fluke shot which had the ball bouncing off the edge three times before barely having enough momentum to fall into the pocket. But, I did it and I am proud!
Bada Bing had shitty music playing in the main room (the bands almost always are) so we headed somewhere we could hear ourselves think without being interrupted by obnoxious screaming and a double bass where we found a group of people to chat to while we waited for some decent music.
As always, I spent my entire night drifting between groups, talking to as many people as I could find that I knew, running into people I didn't expect to see there (Hi Aimee!!) and dancing like a lunatic to any song I knew. Towards the end of the night everyone was getting a bit tired. I went to the DJ and requested some Tenacious D. Three songs later the opening bars to Tribute started playing, and I think almost everyone in the venue was on the dancefloor, singing their hearts out, and even those not on the dancefloor were singing. It was a beautiful thing, a perfect ending to the night and I felt a bit like God for knowing that it was my doing.
I am so wrecked today. I feel hungover and all I drank last night was water D:
But, I still headed to dog club for the fun day. Honey actually worked really well. We got third, but we almost won. Honey hates tunnels if she can't see the end. The only thing we had any problem with was one such tunnel that I just could not get her to do. If that tunnel wasn't there we would have not only run a clear round, but would have got the best time out of any clear round. I was really proud. I just wish I could think of a way to get her into those tunnels. Third prize was a package of dog food, so she definitely earned her bread tonight.
Preparing for the round!
Now to wait and see if I get that phone call about riding. Maybe have some lunch in the meantime.... I am starving!

#11: A picture of your special someone
Well, it's my special someones really.
After everything we've been through, I only love him more. It's been a tough road, and even now it's not without it's issues, but at last we have unearthed everything and agree that we are never better, or happier than when we have each other. We've both learned a lot about ourselves during our time apart, and our time together, and our time in limbo when we weren't really together, but we definitely weren't apart.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who want to know exactly what happened between us (I know I get asked a lot) and it really is a novel-worthy epic tale, and I think there are a lot of stories out there (some rather absurd ones too) but really the truth is between those who experienced it and now that we have our act together it's time to move forward and not dwell on the past.
All the matters is the present and future <3
And yes, for those who haven't got the memo (I think there are still a few) we are back together.
And Kovu has always pretty much been the same. Some days crazy, some days sleepy, always my loveable ball of fuzz (and extra skin XD). It's his third birthday next Saturday. I think I will get him some extra special kitty food, and put some candles in it and sing for him. He will just meow at me and squirm to get the food probably. My kitty is so cute.
