Opps, I forgot to cross post this from my myspace blog on Saturday. I'm bad.

Shhh, I've got a headache.

It was my friend Vix bday celebrations last night.
Dude, did we celebrate.
A few quiet drinks, she said.
Yeah, right.

There was deffo drinks, but they were not quiet. In fact, every place we visited involved all 6 of us singing a tune of our choosing, favourites included: 'Your Song' from Moulin Rouge, a Dirty Dancing medley, The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance - actually, before I go any further can I just flag up that this is my most favourite song of the whole entire year, I love it and jump up and down everytime it comes on the radio. Have put the album on the birthday list along with Amy Winehouse and The Killers...Ok, so back to last night, we were singing. We were also dancing.
Vix managed to remember the whole Take That - could it be magic dance routine and made a dance floor on the soggy, beer-stained carpet, we then ended up in a rather shady locale that was playing songs by some dude called Sash and we were offering each other dance offs like we were in some 80's hip hop video.
It was not pretty.
Luckily, there's no photographic evidence otherwise I'd be running for the hills right now!
This morning, as you can imagine, is all about the toast and orange juice.

I positively come alive in autumn/winter. Summer time, although pretty with it's longer nights and balmy evenings, makes me hot and bothered and a little bit antsy, which means I don't socialise loads unless I've checked a head for full on air-con or we're sitting outside with the cool breeze of the sea, but autumn/winter? I'm all about the autumn/winter! This week has been filled with socialising treats - I met up with my too-cool-for-school cousin to buy her a birthday pressie and we were all cosmo and drank coffee while chatting about soaps and family members and I met two girlfriends who I hadn't seen since February and their beautiful babies for lunch. They looked fabulous, their babies were cuteness personified and I have a killer baby crush on lil Josh, too, too cute! It was great to catch up and I realised how much I've missed having not seeing them, how much of the babies lives I've missed in the last 7 months - how do those 'together' people keep up with it all? I want so much to remember birthdays, to keep every appointment I make and to be one of those girls who doesn't spill coffee or have to go back to the house at least twice before going out to make sure I've turned my hair straighteners off.
I'm not though.
And do you know what? My friends still dig me! I am one lucky lady!

I've been on fire workwise this week, I've written lots of features 'bout teachers, charm school and Christmas, I've worked some more on my fiction, have finished a rough draft of a possible future Think Pink book and I have appointments next week to discuss new opportunities, I plan on working on the website this week - there will be one more update before Christmas and then we'll be kicking off the new year with an all new cute-ass website to celebrate the launch of the 1st book - so I can't hang around here, while I'm capable of writing words I have to make the most of it!
