"Write about your relationship status"
Now, this is a bit heavy for day 2. Or maybe it's just me... My relationship status: SINGLE. I like this better than "divorced". "Divorced" sounds sad. I used to be sad, but I'm not anymore... Been divorced for a little over a year now, although been out of the marriage for close on 4 years now... SO: I am now pretty much ready to meet someone new. Not for a heavy, intense relationship, just a nice man who I could spend some quality time with - wining & dining & movie-watching & perhaps a little dancing.
I don't have have a 40page Terms of Reference for this new person... I'd just like someone kind & funny & intelligent. And there really needs to be a *spark*. There really really needs to be a *spark*.
So yes, I'm looking to make my "ex-DH" into my "1st DH"! *smile*

30-day challenge : Day 1
"Post a picture of yourself and 10 facts about yourself"
This is the most recent / decent photo of moi (taken about 10 days ago, but a sweet friend). It's not bad, aside from the glass of wine & the double chin, which are intimately related obviously... Pretty good colour green, if I say so myself...
10 facts about yourself. Without any further ado....
1. I am not comfortable talking about myself. I am not comfortable centre-stage. I have extrodinarily low self-esteem and poor self-image, which I am working on (see #3). *smile*
2. I have just turned 40, which was quite difficult. Not to get to 40, but to turn 40 with some grace & gratitude. Working on that too (see #3).
3. I am always "working on" something. It's like I'm OCD about self-help, helping-myownself. I always have some sort of "project" happening - trying to be a better me. Better mom. Better friend. Better Christian. Better exwife (not really) *wink*. I think self-improvement is a little overrated, but I'm hooked.
4. I really like wine & food (clear from above photo!) I have a classic love-hate relationship with both. See #3.
5. I have an Honours Degree in "Environmental Water Management" but am not working in that field. Nor have I ever (really)... And while I not enamoured with my current job, I don't really have a problem that I'm not working in the field for which I studied.
6. I have more friends than I think I have.
7. I LOVE reading, but currently lack the attention span and the time.
8. I am anti-depressnat meds. New ones today in fact. Interesting ride. (see #3)
9. I am quite self-sufficient, but am currently mssing the emotional interdependence of a "significant other". My doctor said (today) that having a partner is "overrated" and that I should consider mastibation. I think for a brief moment he forgot I'm a woman. We need partners for more than just *that*. He was kidding (he said), but I'm pretty sure that conversation was Freudian.
10. This was hard. And easy. Interesting. Qi. Thanks for the challenge, Nix. I need to write more. Cathartic. See #3

30th January 2011 (Sunday)
Check out this super-organised mom! Shups gave us the calendar, and now I have it up, declaring my super-organisedness as well as telling us what's going on for the month. The line: "these are the ones I love the best, even more than all the rest" is from one of my favourite books - bought for Ant when he was a littly, but we still read - called "Horray for Fish".
29th January 2011 (Saturday)
We spent the entire day at the Waterpark for Kaityn's 11th bday. I was mega grumpy, partly from "sacrificing" my much-needed "free" weekend, partly from fetching-&-carrying boys, partly getting to wrong place (fully my fault), but once there, was good. Did some sliding with the boys & we all got a lot of sun.
Tim found this green&gold bug. Gorgeous.
28th Jan 2011 (Friday)
Sushi, a delicious movie ("Shrink" with Kevin Spacey & a naughty cameo by Robin Williams) and some Sav Blanc. Really good "me-time" after a from-hades-week. *sigh* that's better... much better.
Got me thinking about de-grump strategies. Some quiet alone time, a long calm deep candlelit bath, some warm fuzzy sms's between good old friends, a cat purring on my belly. So many good things.
