ho hum

I have neglected this blog a bit of late.. but I don't really know what to write about..

I haven't done anything particularly interesting, got particularly drunk, or learnt any particularly interesting new facts.

Maybe I've lost my mojo. Maybe I need to get a life..

I think I will drag Loco on an adventure this weekend.. after all, it will be our one year anniversary :)

What a lot of things have happened in a year! As one friend put it

"I'm really happy for you S, that you've found someone you really like, you were always so allergic to commitment.."

I was allergic, wasn't I. Well now I think my allergy is well and truly cured.

attttcccccccccccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhiooooooo

or is it ;)

Stupid things I have done this week

After getting home from the communion around 0030, I was a little bit tiddly but mostly aware of what I was doing, but have no other real explanation as to why I decided to store my handbag in the top of my wardrobe among my clothes.

I did remember that I had done this the following day and so retrieved my bag to get my phone and make plans for the rest of the day. Just as it was time to leave I checked my bag and noticed that my purse was missing. Cue frantic searching of bag, room, house, car, room, bag, house.. phone calls to those present at the communion were made, and off Loco and I headed to check the restaurant and surrounding streets. We also visited two local police stations but with no joy. I had no choice but to start cancelling my cards.. and continue with the days plans which included helping a friend move house.

On our arrival home Loco sat down on the bed, lifted up some item of clothing that had been carelessly thrown there in the mad frantic search for the purse and let out a gasp. There was my purse.

Obviously my first reaction was to accuse him of having hidden it the whole time.. but this was not the case and it must've been caught up in some item of clothing from the top bit of the wardrobe where I had stored my bag..

This was not the only stupid thing I would do this week..

Loco's mother damaged her muscle while out on her daily walk and so was using one of those heat relieiving muscle rubs which comes in a red and white tube, just like toothpaste...

Yes you've guessed it, when I go to brush my teeth, I see the familiar red and white tube on the side, squeeze the white paste on my toothbrush and start brushing away. But hang on a minute, this isn't the familiar minty freshness I normal associate with toothpaste. I check the tube and realise my mistake. I start spitting the remaining paste out but I had already given it a could bruch around my mouth so it wasn't as easy as it sounds, coupled with a burning sensation all around my mouth where I had rubbed it in my panic to get it out of my mouth.

I spent the next few days sporting some very sore, split lips from where the cream had burnt them.

To top off my week I managed to fall over at work. One second I was wiggling along, the next I am flat on my knees sliding along the parquet like some bizarre knee sliding person...

Oh fool am I.

News

OK so I know I've been AWOL for a couple of weeks but I had important things to attend to - Shameless has a new job :)

I kept that one quiet didn't I!

I've been in my current position for 2 and a half years and I decided that I needed a change. So I am changing industries, departments and job title. Hope I will like the new place :)

It's by the beach so it can't be bad. Stroll out of work and into sea, I'm picturing it now :)
Also I get to buy more officey type clothes - any excuse to buy clothes makes me happy.
I found a nice dress for the communion by the way, but I didn't wear it - it rained and it didn't seem suitable :(

However there are some issues that I'm not so sure about -

Will blog be accesible from new job? What about hotmail?

I didn't ask in the interview - probably for the best - and now I'll have to wait and see.

Am hoping my posts will be more frequent now! Last couple of weeks have been quite stressful..

What have I missed in my absence?

The Shameless Hulk

Loco often asks me why, when I go out with him, I don't get totally wrecked like I used to.

The reasons are two-fold:


1) My kidneys and liver are undoubtedly pickled beyond all possible belief and could probably do with a damn good rest. (read they never want to see a lick of alcohol ever ever again)


2) Drinking when single and drinking when coupled produce a jekyll and hyde effect in this little shameless one. Loco didn't realise this, but he sure
as hell does now.

Shameless when single:
Can drink even the most hardcore Russian under the table. Flaming sambucas, c
razy mexicans, 7 day drinking binges, you name it, I've done it. The life and soul of a very drunken party - yeh that's me.

Shameless when coupled:
Tends to limit h
er intake of alcohol to perhaps a maximum of half a bottle of wine or 2 cocktails. Alcohol makes her paranoid, angry and, on occaisions violent. A work party with Loco ended in near disaster when one of Loco's work colleagues told her

"You better watch your boyfriend or he'll be off"


This made Shameless very angry indeed and she spent the rest of the night shooting evil looks and snide comments in said work colleague's general direction and getting mroe drunk. Loco then decided to accuse Shameless of flirting wit
h his work colleague (she wasn't, she was just stopping him from falling asleep as he was very drunk). Shameless started raging and stormed off, barging past people who got very cross with angry, barging girl and shouted at her, which she didn't like at all either, so she told them, in no uncertain terms, to "FUCK OFF".

She then happened to bump into an old fling - no names mentioned - and had a short chat unaware that Loco was watc
hing her and old fling from the stairs. As old fling walked down the stairs he began to say something about Shameless to his friend in front of Loco.. the words remains a mystery.. as Loco says that he did not understand, yet is continuing to sulk about it so he must've understood something.

Loco and S
hameless then decided to call it a night and tried to find the car.. which they couldn't.. and Shameless cried on a street corner because her very high, but very beautiful, shoes hurt her and leery drunken men leered at her while Loco had dissappeared off to find the car. Loco then sulked all of Saturday about Shameless' supposed flirting with work colleague and drunken chat with old fling. This morning Loco decided to point out to Shameless all the photos where she appears in the same frame as work colleague. Boys. Grrr.

And this is why I don't get wrecked with Loco.

Girl Stuff



Migraines + sickness + visiting friends + locos visiting family + bank holidays + day trips + poker on the playstation = lack of blog entries.

I hate migraines, they're such a waste of a day. Especially a weekend day.

I keep thinking summer has arrived but then suddenly black clouds appear and it pours with rain all day ruining bank holiday beach plans .. BOO.

I have to go to a communion soon. Loco's mum says I should buy a new dress. I haven't been to many communions (read none) so I'm not sure what it appropriate attire. I quite like:

But it is suitable for a communion.

Ditto:
Hmm.. what's a girl to do?
