Okay, gang... WHAT THE???? I came to log into my account, when suddenly I noticed that somehow or other I've managed to reach the #3 spot of the most read bloggers this week!!!! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE????... Sign in to see full entry.

YAHOO!!!! My books FINALLY arrived today. With exception of the one I wanted the most. My book club no longer carries DRAWING FOR DUMMIES!!!!.... Ah, well...At least I got Roommie's Christmas present. Well, one of her presents, anyway. I've got plenty of reading material for the onslaught of winter... Sign in to see full entry.

Its happened to me again...I swore it wouldn't this year, but it did. Here we are, almost Halloween, next will be Thanksgiving...And we all know what comes after that... CHRISTMAS!!!! Now, don't get me wrong, gang...I love Christmas, but I don't like the commercialism of it. All the ads that start... Sign in to see full entry.

The Baptism service for my oldest sister, Lisa is coming up in just a couple of weeks, and I've decided I need to go out and buy a new dress for it. Only problem is, I HATE clothes shopping!! Three years ago, I had to go out and buy a dress to wear at Becky's wedding. After spending what seemed like... Sign in to see full entry.

I'll probably re-post about this as I progress with telling you all the story of our friendship, but this is another one of my favourite memories of Mick. I'm not one to bar hop. I don't even like going to bars. I hate drunk people, and I hate it even more when stranger weirdos come up to me and... Sign in to see full entry.

I made a very upsetting discovery a couple of days ago. I know I probably shouldn't be as upset as I am, but frankly I'm still reeling from the fact that I actually heard from Mick, which is part of the reason I'm not handling some of the simplest things very well right now. As I posted a few days... Sign in to see full entry.

So, the following summer I returned to the retreat and there was Mick. He came running up to me straight off and threw his arms round my neck. "G'day, Sweetheart! How've you been? Did you have a good year?" He was squeezing me so hard, I thought my lungs were going to pop!! "I'm fine, mate. I had a... Sign in to see full entry.

Where the hell is Mick when I need a good back massage??!! Wow, do I ever need one!! It's chilled to the dog's bone outside this morning, and my back feels as if someone has taken one of the those keys for a wind up toy and wrenched it into me. That's one of the things I miss most about the time we... Sign in to see full entry.

I just found two more toys to play with!! Well, actually, Roommie found them for me. Has anyone here seen or played with those wiggle and giggle puppies and kitties???? Well, I have one of each!!!!.... Roommie bought me the kitty a couple of years ago as a gag Christmas present. Our neighbours were... Sign in to see full entry.

Having just read Shelly B's question about whether anyone of us has had sex in a graveyard reminded me that I wanted to write this post. But be warned, my friends...I'm about to go off on yet another rampage!! Did anyone here read about those seven funeral home directors who were convicted of... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday, Success Warrior asked which Australian comedy I was talking about that's about to be released on DVD. I shall be more than happy to answer!! LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON, (The original Australian title for the programme-or at least, I think it was-that was later changed to MOTHER AND SON when... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning, gang... A very happy Sunday to you all!! I hope you're all doing well today. I don't normally write for you all on Sundays, but today I made an exception since I had to check my bank account anyway. I have to send Roommie to the grocery store in a bit to restock my decaf coffee supply.... Sign in to see full entry.

My energy didn't last long today. Not as long as I would have liked, at least. Still, it hasn't been a completely horrible day. Mum did come by, but since my uncle had to bring her to work this morning and home again, she couldn't stay for coffee. She'll come tomorrow instead. She was thrilled with...

Good afternoon, gang... I'm sorry I never came back to write yesterday, but it's probably just as well since I wasn't in a proper mood for it. The sun has emerged at last, but it's soooo chilly!! Today is my mum's birthday, and Roommie and I have managed to store up plenty of surprises for her!!... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning, gang... I'm glad so many of you got a laugh from the poem Mick sent me. It's nice to be able to make my friends smile. Especially when I don't really feel like smiling myself at the moment. I don't know what's wrong with me really. I keep trying to email Mick back, but I just can't... Sign in to see full entry.

I was rumaging through some of Mick's old letter's last night, and came across this poem he sent to me. It's a bit naughty, but it still makes me smile, so I thought I'd share it with you all...

I've only told the story of my relationship with Mick in part, which is no doubt the reason so many of you have been slightly (to say the very least) confused by my posts concerning him over the past couple of days. I'm going to tell our story from the very beginning, so for those of you who've read... Sign in to see full entry.

Here's another question for you, my blogging friends... For all you Halloween fans, what's your favourite candy? Here are some of mine: Anything chocolate, except white!!....

Okay gang... Here's the question I tried to ask you all the other day when my hands spased and posted before I'd finished... Just curious, how do you all take your morning coffee? Do you have it with cream and sugar? Do you add flavoured coffee creamer? If so, do you use powdered or liquid? Do you... Sign in to see full entry.

Seriously gang, I just wanted to come in and thank all those of you who've left supportive comments on my posts regarding Mick. I'm still having a tough time, but I'm feeling a little better this morning. It's nice to know you'll all stick with me, even if all I write in a single day is utter crud....
