Bless Me Father WordPress, It Has Been Over 3 Months Since My Last Confession..

Many thanks first off too Liladreams, Bevchen and Tigirl for your inquiries on how and where I disappeared to. It is lovely to get messages from fellow bloggers and I am feeling the lurrveee!!   I hope you are all well and will be visiting your pages soon to catch up.

It has infact been over 3 months since my last confession. Nothing dark or sinister has happened to make me stop blogging, life got in the way a bit, a feeling of lack of inspirational things to blog about hit me along with some mild lackadaisical laziness.

So in brief, to get me back started on writing in a semi coherent fashion, I think I’m just going to bullet point some highlights of my last three months.

• I got my hair cut. Yes I did. Big highlight seeing as though I have spent the last 9 months razoring bits off myself every time I felt the urge. It was hanging listlessly down my back in ginger type stringiness. I was obsessed with growing it as long as I could even if that meant that I had started to look like a footballer from the 70’s.  I woke up one day and smelt the coffee. It is now in a bob and I am thrilled with the result. I did give the hairdresser a photo of Scarlett Johanssons new do as reference, what a shame I look nothing like her, but a relief that I no longer look like Kevin Keagen.
• Work is work. I have been doing some interesting things such as this:

Which earned me a bit of a bonus in my pay check the month I finished it.  That was good. There is never any good without a teeny bit of bad as far as my life goes though, and the bad with regards to work is that I have been semi feuding with a colleague who I find more annoying than an itch you can’t scratch.  I feel as though there is a massive undermining tactic going on in her corner of the work room and have been forced to bite my lip until it bleeds on more than one occasion. Unfortunately we are like oil and water, she being the oil that sits on top of my wateryness and suffocates me most of the time with her incessant gossiping, whispering of lyrics out loud to her awful r & b music which she plays whenever possible and over use of the word “No” , “Not possible” or “Not my job”.  She also paints her eyebrows green and constantly talks about the fact that she does, like its revolutionary, cutting edge or just too damn cool. Its not. Its awful, unattractive and even our boss asked her last week to refrain from doing so as it does not look good when dealing with clients. Enough of that though.

• My learning of the French language has gone from bad to worse as I seem to live in Paris but everyone speaks English to me. Its like being in Calais. Work colleagues have given up the ghost with me and everyone in the company now speaks English to me all the time. Its quite surreal really, but not surprising seeing as though my grasp of the French language is so far from my reach.
• Frenchy is doing good. Coming off his medication and doing very well. There was a term of very little work coming in for him which was difficult, but seems to be picking up now. I also convinced him to trim his facial into a handle bar moustache and long sideburns, not dissimilar to Nick Cave, who happens to be one of my heroes. Frenchy looks cool as I do too now I have my Scarlett type bob. So we all feel quite smug really.
• I am addicted to playing farmville on facebook. If any of you are not aware of this game DO NOT TRY TO START PLAYING IT. It is bad for your life and well being. It is time consuming and pointless. The only thing you do get from it is a nice looking virtual farm where you can buy workshops you would never be able to afford in real life, cottages to the same effect and far too many trees and cows gifted by neighbours that leave you in a state of high anxiety trying to figure out where the hell to fit them all on your little patch.
• My dear cat Tripod is well and has made a friend in the courtyard called Mimi. She is ginger and has all her paws intact unlike my three legged feline.  They are hilarious to watch as there are evenings when if one is let out before the other, they will croon from the courtyard this kind of come out to play type serenade. Mimi started crooning on Friday night which sent my cat into a frenzy. He jumped on the window sill and started crooning back at her, then sped down the corridor to the front door and cried until we opened the door to let him out. Once out we watched them lay like lions side by side, crooning and meowing at each other in friendly dulcet tones… extraordinary.
• And last but not least, in fact the mostest of the mostest is…… I am pregnant!!!!  After months of trying, we hit the jackpot and I am now just over a month pregnant.  Its early days and I am experiencing the joys of sickness, fatigue and increasingly enlarged breasts.  We are both very excited and I have my first ecography next week.  My visit to the gynaecologist last week was illuminating, I will blog about that separately as it deserves a post of its own.

So there we are, my first post in ages. A brief update and more to come.

Its nice to be back again, so what have you guys been up to?
