Driving home for Christmas
I'm not looking forward to the time when I have a Christmas away from home. It's going to be weird. I am looking forward to openening the present from Mike however. I love surprises! He's just left mine and I now won't see him until the 28th, which seems aaaaaaages away, but in reality it isn't. I am impatient!

Ponderings
It's not nuch of a scarf I know, but it's getting there! I mean, it's taken me nearly 3 years to get this far! I got this set for Christmas nearly 3 years ago. So I'm rather proud of myself.
My walls have started leaking properly now. This isn't good. I need a new home for my shoe rack now.
I have a job interview on Thursday. I'm tired of the call centre now. The amount they mess around the hours and the rubbishness of the calls... It's time for me to move on, so fingers crossed!
Weather: cold and wet. Standard.

And it's still raining...
Quite clearly I am a master of interior design! But it was nice feeling all festivey. I do love Christmas time. Friday evening I had a lovely night in with Mike. I made moussaka, well, I made a veggie version of it, as that's what you do when you have a veggie boyfriend. It was yummy! I surprised myself! I actually got a meal right the first time I made it! And I also made apple crumble, and Mike got a bit carried away with putting the cinnamon in... But it tasted amazing. I love the smell of cinnamon, it's so Christmassy, you know? I love anything that smells festive. I think I may have been an elf in a previous life. And we had a lovely evening in watching comedy on the tv and listening to the rain and drinking Fosters. It was great!

Tis the season...
Anywho, I've spent the afternoon (I finished work at midday, win!) snuggled up on the sofa in my duvet, watching trashy tv, and I'm really happy about it! There is no other choice with the sofa. You can't lounge, it's too small for that. You either snuggle up or sit. But on a day like today, it's all about the snuggling. Sadly, not with the boy, but that'll change tomorrow.
So now, back to Jerry Springer and cups of tea... smiles...

Brrrrrr!
Oh the yumminess of carrots and swede. I had a yummy dinner and it warmed me up good. The heating is also doing a good job, but as we're having a problem with leaking walls at the moment, our flat isn't the warmest place to be.
I also had a warming shower, with my purple monkey. Nothing beats a warming shower. You stay warm all the time, unlike a bath. I always make baths too hot and then have to add more cold water and it gets cold quicker. Baths confuse me.
The monkey still needs a name... Hmm....

Play that funky music...
It's a bath mitt, and it's so cool! He's so random and silly, but it's great.
And today we just chilled and Mike showed me his guitar skills. Isn't he gorgeous?!

Thumbbbbbbbs
This is my left thumb... does it look odd?
How about the right one?

Another great weekend
And Saturday saw the arrival of a certain Stubbs 1, and much drunken hilarity ensued. I do love Stubbs, he's like the big brother I don't have. Although I often forget how loud he is! And he is celebrating this whole "Movember" thing... he has grown a tash. Which lead to this....
We then met up with Mike in town as it was his birthday. I was so nervous about meeting his friends, but it went really well. I guess alcohol helped. And then I got to spend Mike's birthday with him the following day, although it was a bit awkward meeting his parents for the first time looking rough from the night before. I'm now in a relationship with Mike and couldn't be happier! Seriously, I never thought online dating would actually work!

Rain Rain Go Away
In other news, I have been on a cleaning spree. I've cleaned my kitchen, bathroom and bedroom! I don't know what has come over me!
I'm also supposed to be meeting Mike's family on the weekend. It's his birthday and he wants me to stay over. He still lives with his parents, which is kind of intimidating. I guess I've lived away from home so long now that I forget people my age live with their parents. It's weird as we've only been on a few dates, but things are going amazingly well. He keeps telling me he really likes me, and I like him too. I feel happy and myself with him. I'm still not over-analysing things, which is a first for me. I have all my fingers crossed that I'm not going to mess this one up!

Little rays of sunshine
I probably shouldn't have got so drunk, but Mike was drunk too. It was weird, it felt really easy. Then on Saturday he came and met me in town because I was going in to do some shopping. I hate town on a Saturday. Especially on the run up to Christmas. Everyone is in a rush and completely in their own little world. They like to stop before shop windows, suddenly and without warning. And then get angry with you for walking in to the back of them. Well, if I'd had some kind of warning, I wouldn't have! Seriously, people should be fitted with indicators and warning lights. But anywho, back to what I was saying. Mike came and met me, we had coffee and a chat and it was all very lovely. And then he met me from work yesterday as I was only working until 11am, and we went to the cinema and had dinner, then an evening of cuddles and kisses. Bliss! So all in all, I am a happy little bunny and would definitely recommend internet dating to all and sundry.
I'm feeling rather odd today as well. Aside from being stupidly happy, I feel like I need to do something creative. I really enjoyed baking fairy cakes on Sunday evening, and dying purple streaks in my hair.
But I feel like I need to do something more creative. I should start scrapbooking again. I'm going to print off lots of photos when I go home at Christmas I think. I also actually want to make a start on the sewing clothes thingy. I want to make a cow print bag! And eventually a cow print duvet... that'll always be the dream. I dunno, I just guess I feel kind of wasted without something to keep me busy when I'm not at work, if you know what I mean. So maybe I'll start doing that. I found a shop in Swansea Market that has a huge selection of buttons. Buttons excite me!
Also, Christmas is a getting closer. They have switched the Christmas lights on in Swansea centre, which seems silly to me as it's only the middle of November. There is over a month until Christmas! But sometmes, I feel festivey. When the weather is just right, it's crisp and not too cold and windy, I feel a little festivey and get rather excited. I am looking forward to going home for Chrsitmas. I miss my mum's roast dinners.

Alarming
On another note, I have a date tonight with the guy mentioned previously, the one I met online. I am actually very very nervous.

Online Dating
I signed up to an online dating website about a month ago for a few reasons.
- I'm fed up of dating friends
- I'm fed up finding out too late that guys are losers
- For a laugh
- To see who's out there
I didn't sign up properly, as in paid membership, until this weekend. I had recieved a few messages from highly unsuitable guys, who clearly couldn't read my profile and see that I'm not looking for someone who is old enough to be my dad. But then, as if by magic, good looking guys started contacting me! It was a miracle. And I've been talking to one all weekend. He lives close by, is easy on the eye and we seem to have a lot in common. It's just that every now and then I think "This is weird, we met online"... and we haven't met each other face to face... What's the protocol for this? How long are you supposed to leave it? I'm really not lone for playing games, but isn't that what internet dating is about? I mean, he's keen. He also paid up just to email me back... And been texting all weekend. But how does this work?!

Christmas shopping
I missed Bonfire Night, stupid work. I heard plenty of fireworks though. But it was so cold outside in a way I'm kind of glad because I didn't really want to freeze to death.
Also, had a talk with James. He's pretty much told me to give up all hope of us getting together. It has upset me quite a bit. But maybe it is for the best. And he would just mess me around, and then I could go "See, all men are the same!", which is what I always do. Oh well.... plenty more fish in the sea as they say. I am going to wait for someone to come along who won't mess me around.....
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT?!
