...life after 35
I’m back kids – sincere apologies for the delay – it’s been a bit of a bumpy ride of late. Here’s what I’ve been witnessing since I last posted….
I had a relationship break up. Horrid, those things and let’s face it, no one really likes rejection. But I’m of the opinion that when one door shuts eventually a better brightly coloured one will open….
Dance like no one's watching
A few weeks ago I felt a bit overwhelmed with everything so decided to dance like a fool in front of the stereo at home to get rid of some built up steam.
For those of us who’ve done this in the past, you’ll know that this crazy activity normally works a treat. I’m left feeling good – a sudden rush of endorphins to the brain – and a smile forms on my face translating that a) I know I am a proper dork, and b) sh*t this is good fun!
Rain. Yawn
I don’t know about you, but I am officially over this Auckland rain. Fact.
We all know that there’s nothing we can do about it, but it’s the topic of much conversation lately – everyone putting in their 10 cents worth: “Can we get any more rain people?!”…..”Oh Melva look: it’s raining again, what a surprise!”…..”Jaysus wept Shane, I wish it would stop blimmin-well raining”.
'Surfing' the net
It seems more and more people these days are turning on their computer and surfing the net in an effort to find true love. The future of Online Dating is extremely popular and it is growing quicker than wildfire, but is it a curse or is it cupids cure?
Three dates, you might be out
Ah yes. The Third Date. Always a cracker.
It’s the date which either locks in the interest for further investigation/dating; or it’s the red flag which sends you hooning out of the carpark in sheer fear.
Truth be told, I’ve come to dislike The Third Date…
Is it really that time?
I don’t know about you, but these recent dark mornings have well and truly thrown me. My alarm goes off, it’s pitch black, and I always feel like someone’s playing a trick on me by resetting the alarm to 2 am. But no, it’s always the correct time yet I pretty much lie there for about 30 minutes thinking of good reasons why I should get up, while the rain pelts down comfortingly on the roof.
Speaking of waking early in the dark, an amusing yet dumb-arsed incident happened to me last Saturday.
Sing like no one is listening
Last week my workmates and I decided it would be choice fun to organise a Japanese dinner and Karaoke evening. A real ‘let your hair down, toss aside the shame and do some bonding’ night.
I was looking forward to the Karaoke sing along. I’m quite a shy person, but have no shame when a bit of liquor hits my veins, and I was looking forward to busting out the 80s rock classics. Giddy up!
Oh my, you're so funny!
Ah yes, the age old question which can often get you wound up beyond belief…what outfit should I wear on a first date? Furthermore, it’s a blind date – and the thing with blind dates is that you never know exactly what you’re going to get.
Should I dress to impress (first impressions do count), but then again if I put the effort in and he rocks up in his tracky-daks and jandals, then I just know that I’m going to feel like a try-hard.
