I've been sensible all my life. Just one adventure? Okay, I had my adventure. Just one more? Totally OTT? and then I will settle down and be sensible again ...
To know all is to forgive all - sometimes we don't know why people are such downers. But as you say, few have no worries at all. If we were all miserable about it, yikes.
Call - it feels pretty lonely now, sure, but you are also now your own person in your own right and the world is your oyster. It doesn't kick in immediately but you are going to really enjoy it. Trips like popping off to Scotland to leer at men in kilts with superb legs and cheeky grins are now yours for the taking
And I am GREEN on the granny front. My daughter says she's trying (stop NAGGING, Mum). I blame my son in law, of course, because I am the MiL from hell.
They live 400 miles away. No coincidence. If I moved down south, he'd probably insist they move to Australia ...
Oh Cat he's really funny, that clip is terrible quality but there are some good ones, I love him to bits. Why couldn't I have been the English wife? WHY? I'd have cared more about the poem, so I would. Huh.
As for you, my friend, I love you like a sister but deleted your comment because I won't have you pouring cold water on my girlish hopes and dreams, okay? This burning poet, this paragon of men, may not have turned up for me, may even not have turned up for you, or for half the ladies here, but he will.
Hey Cat, I do like your pic but it makes you look weary and a little bored with your blog, whereas your other one makes you seem keenly interested. Which makes me realize my own pic is downright RUDE, looking off to the side
I have a friend who knows he can be honest with me, or lie, whatever seems more fun at the time (he's like me but WAY worse): but wondering how much of what he tells me is actually true gets tiring. It does make it hard to react, knowing that I may be reacting to a situation that doesn't exist, so why are we discussing it?
Every time we talk I resolve to be a better person
This is completely true, honesty is a blessing and a curse. I will always give a straight answer to a question - or ignore it altogether, which is probably an answer in itself - but when I'm telling a story the plain facts are so BORING that I do tend to veer into what would have made the story more interesting.
ME: I met this amazing guy, he's nice-looking, super-smart, and we connected immediately. He's got a mission in life, knows exactly where he's going and I can totally identify with his end goals, this is it, he could be the one, and he thinks exactly the same about me.
Friend: is that true?
ME: no. He's opinionated and dictatorial, and he was telling me how things would be, no interest in my input at all.
I don't lure men in, but once any man IS inside, the bulldog makes sure they don't leave. This can be embarrassing when they are plumbers / electricians / checking the insulation in the loft.
On the other hand, a good plumber would be worth keeping...
My BFF's husband is a civil engineer who travels the world advising on billion dollar bridges and he says they are not factoring in huge rises in water levels.
I live near an estuary and seriously heavy-duty six-foot walls have been built along the shoreline so I am fairly hopeful I won't wake up to the downstairs a foot deep in water ... however thanks to global climate change I MIGHT be living in a tropical paradise one of these days? Believe it when I see it, we had the coldest winter on record just a few years ago and global warming doesn't seem very interested in Scotland.
Was your island pretty small? I always fancied one just the right size for a small village ... a ferry to the mainland ... and me of course queen of all I surveyed. Woulda been nice
RE: Life is Great or just a dream..
Sounds like yours is going great
