The week s'far.

I've taken a train right outta grumpville and I'm now a fully paid up, live-in resident of pink-world. Life is so much sweeter here and that's factuality.

So...Monday I attended a meeting where all the cool kids from teen magazine world came together to discuss all things teen-magazine related, which is always really cool because when you're a freelancer, you very rarely get to meet the team and only converse via email...So I got to hang out with my fab Mizz team who are all so super glam and lovely.
Then, despite tube and bus strikes, Izzy managed to make her way across town and we continued our previous night's chat as if we'd never put the phone down!

If there is one thing we would win awards in, it would be chatting.
If there was one thing we would not win awards for, it would be be keeping to the subject...
Our conversations are like one, huge bad-ass spider diagram and can go from politics to music, to friends to clothes, to our mutual love of Primark to the state of the economy...
We were being total grown ups sipping coffee in Covent Garden, which seemed really, really weird because we used to sit in our bedrooms singing along to boybands, dying each others hair, talking about how life would be when we were 28, but it seemed like forever away, now it's here - it's good to know we're really no different.
Well, except for the fact we now get our hair done by experts.
And that she lives in a killer apartment in London.
Apart from that though, we still go off on tangients, we still have big dreams, we still disagree on out taste in boys - thankfully, we still love Take That and we're both still there for each other, always.
That rules.

Tuesday is my work day, as in work in an office with real-life people.
I work with the coolest team of people and look forward to Tuesdays so much because of that very reason. Of course there's the actual process of work involved, but that's secondary really to hanging out with Miss Sally, who is quite possibly the most adoreable person you'd ever meet and oh, so very wise - she also has very good taste in men (her husband is cuteness personified, but she is also able to appreciate beauty in others) along with a thirst for consumerism which in my world, pretty much makes her the perfect pal - so my day was filled with much laughter and lots of anticipation about our trip to London this Thursday to see Wicked with Sarah and mister Swanksville.
Swanks, having dumped his diva-esque persona, well...temporarily at least, is all about the shopping and is insistant on us visiting Harvey Nicholls and Libertys, who are we to argue?

The evening has been spend with the man, curled up on the sofa, chatting, sharing a chocolate bar and watching Gordon's Kitchen Nightmares. Cute.
