I know it's quite simple to work out, but I only just realised...

I pick the wrong men.

I pick men who clearly have no interest in me what-so-ever and I somehow manage to mis-interpret that...

I'm an idiot!

Ah well, better late than never...

I am utterly exhausted as I write this before bed, and I am, firstly, grateful to have such a great bed to fall into.
I know I’ve been grateful for this previously… but Im bloody grateful for it again… and again… and again.

I am grateful that in 24 hours I have motivated to cram the following into my day:
Work- which consisted of teaching my classes, ( Read more... )

Today marks the seventh anniversary of the death of Faye and Penny Cooper, so my list today reflects how grateful I am that I, and my friends and family, are alive.

I am grateful for our family soiree yesterday in the park at Marysville, it gave me another chance to enjoy my family.

This website is great.
Since adding a few things I’ve always wanted to do, I’ve actually started doing them.
Tomorrow I’m having my first singing lesson.
I think it will be awful, because I know very well I sound like a screeching cat when I sing, but, even if I never get any better, at least I’ve had a go.

If all else fails, I’ll just hum.

My diet has not changed, but I already know I don’t eat particularly badly… just too much!
I’ve stopped going back for seconds.

I also did find it slightly difficult to drag myself to the gym, but have managed to go three times, and I’ll go tomorrow morning… even though it’s Saturday.

I’m quite sure I’m not really losing weight, but I do feel better, ( Read more... )

1) I am so grateful for Sunscreen! In all it’s greasy, icky-feeling glory!!!
2) My car- which gets me from A to B in relative comfort, with good music, it is a sanctuary.
3) Students who are honest with me about everything, even if it could hurt my feelings.
4) My sister, for cooking dinner.
5) Having the opportunity to feel so involved in my community ( Read more... )

You betcha!

1) For technology, which makes writing reports a little easier, though more confusing.
2) Books- and how excited I still am when I open them, and how VERY excited I was to see all of my year 7 English class using the library to research… it isn’t seen enough. Stupid Google.
3) For being optimistic: It took a long time to get here, but I ( Read more... )

Today I am grateful for:
1) Having the opportunity to work side by side somebody I have respected and looked up to for a third of my life.
2) Being involved in a profession that allows me to watch teenagers get inspired and inspire each other, every day.
3) Clean water to drink, that comes easily out of a conveniently close tap.
4) Bananas.
5) Being ( Read more... )

It’s in full swing!

I made the decision on Saturday that I was going to do a show at next years MICF.

Why not? I said to myself. Why not take the risk? If you bomb, you bomb, what’s a couple of thousand dollars you’ve worked half a year for? It’s life and at least you’ll enjoy it and never regret it if you give it a crack!

Since then I’ve managed to ( Read more... )
