Introducing Me.....

A friend once told me, actually no, let me rephrase that, one friend told me MANY times that I think too much! I do! I can't deny it (although my thought patterns have definitely changed over the years). So I thought, what the hell, why not write my thoughts down. I used to write them down all the time as part of a warm up for the novel I've been attempting to write for years (many, many years!) so I figure this is just the same but a slightly different (slightly more public) forum! I always used to find it theraputic and motivating, so hopefully, this will have the same affect. I have no idea what theme my blog will take or where it will take me (or where I will take it) but lets give it a go shall we?!

So....introducing me.....

• I obviously love exclamation marks and brackets!!


• I love that for the first time in 17 years I'm not tied down to a full time job!


• I hate that my money is running out and I may have to put my new business on the sidelines and take a fulltime job.


• I love that my parents have been married for nearly 51 years and are still so in love.


• I hate that I've chosen my mid thirties to do my real soul searching.


• I love that I come from a big family and have watched my nieces and nephews grow into the beautiful people that they are.


• I hate that I'm watching my nieces now enjoy their early twenties which was the most fun time of my life. (yes, I'm a little jealous)


• I love that I have two amazing best friends, one who has been in my life for 30 years and one who has been in my life for 18 years.


• I hate that some people in our lives drift in and out when we aren't ready for them to do either.


• I love that my shortest close friendships are over 12 years. To me, friendship is everything!


• I hate that I always know when people are lying to me, I'd prefer to be ignorant about it.


• I love that I can generally read people very well straight away.


• I hate that I can generally read people very well straight away!


• I love to laugh.


• I hate that I've lost my ability to be excited and dream about the future.


• I love to dance! I mean really love it!


• I hate that I've put on 8kg since this time last year!


• I love, well actually like, that I'm on track with weight loss, eating and exercise finally (well this week anyway!).


• I hate that I come across as hard and unaffectionate (is that a word?) to the people I hold dear to me.


• I love that I come across as strong sometimes to people who don't know me.


• I hate that I'm, what feels like, the last single 34yr old woman!!

Until next time,

the last single 34yr old woman xx
