Hello strangers!
Oh, I'm soooo sorry for not checking in here for ages ('cause I know you've been just hanging out for me to write something- pfft!).
I've had the busiest time since my last post. Here's a summary -
- Nathan's (Bec's fiancee's) birthday (held at La Porchetta, a 'restaurant' I detest)
- Dad's birthday (at my parent's house - much better)
- Loads of job applications (I am considering enrolling in a real estate representative's course, in lieu of the social sciences course I really want to start, but can't, with our wedding being right in the middle)
- I saw Billy Connolly (and cried with laughter, I still wish he was my grandad)
- I saw Memoirs of a Geisha (wore one of my kanzashi, did not allow myself to become too despondent at Rob Marshall's molestation of the original text and traditions)
- Had hair and makeup trials for Bec's wedding (made me look like a vampy burlesque dancer, but once I took down the hair and removed an inch of eyeliner, I had a nice, smokey 'Charlotte from Sex and the City' visage (if only!))
- Spent Australia Day with Stu's side of the family (upon whom I desperately want to make a good impression, so spend the entire time being gushy and over polite, feeling fat and misunderstood - but they are nice people, I think it's mostly my negative internal dialogue)
- Completed Bec's wedding invitations (I am much celebrated for my bow tieing abilities, was told I should start a business in invitation design, don't have the confidence)
- I registered a loss of 0.5 kgs last Monday (nice)
- And a loss of 0.7 kgs today (la la la!)
Erm, that's all. Email me! I need outside contact.

I did email you with an offer you could hardly refuse, and bugger-me, you did!.. (he he only you, I and Sussy would have a clue what I'm talking about...everyone else get your minds out of my pants)
Congrats on the weight loss, and meeting the "others" parentals is always hard. I'm sure they loved you.
Oh, Steph, I've been with Stu for over six years, and have known his family for as long. But as familiar as I am with them, my self image gets in the way of my feeling completely comfortable with them.
I need therapy!
