so what has happened in my life in the last 24 hours........

well i went to they gym last night. ive not been very focused on my training recently but i really need to get my self in gear cos no one else is gonna run the 10 miles for me! so i went.... and i took my frustration out! the gym is great cos i just dont think about anything. its the only time my mind isnt foggy. there is something going on in my life which has confused the crap out of me and i was hoping that i would feel less confused after my session, im still a tad confused. i dont know whether its wishful thinking or just the fact i have a very positive (possibly unrealistic) outlook on life, who knows. but i got all hot and sweaty which always makes me feel better.

jen cooked last night which was wicked. neil, her man was over so she was trying to impress him..... i think it worked! a bit of dinner and a few glasses of wine, very civilised but it was nice to relax. that was kinda it really.

ive done some job hunting this morning and ive found some really wicked event manager jobs. non local to me though which is a bummer. there is 1 company that refers to themselves as being "bohemian". ive never heard of a company describe themselves as that before and it sounds interesting. the only problem is that it is based in melton mowbray. i thought that was some kind of small meat pie or something.... looks like im gonna have to get the google map out later to see if i can find it. the other job that took my fancy was for a fundraising coordinator for a sports charity but thats in london...... at lunchtime im gonna investigate trade marketing jobs..... just watch this space.

and onto my friday night acitivities.... it involves me and a hot date with a very large bottle of vodka! biggrin

yesterday i was bought a twister ..... yummy! cos i was being miserable (apparently, but i disagree!) zoom image

but today was even more fab....

that plus the copius amounts of chewits i can eat in a day has given me a sugar rush!! woo hoo!!!!!!!!!! biggrin smile biggrin smile biggrin smile biggrin

its a standing joke with all my friends that im really clumsy and messy. in the past when i have been so nervous about making a mess ive not eaten for a couple of days, and if it needs breaking then just let me hold it. last night i went to a whole new level!!!! me and jen were sat in the living room (k is away with work) jen got up to go into the kitchen and i followed to help. i put my book down on the glass coffee table, stood up and within less than a second there was this almightly crash. i was too scared to turn around so i just looked at jen and we both went "shiiiiiiiiiiiit!". we went back into the living room and we saw this....

zoom image

the 2 tiered glass coffee table (that k had bought) had smashed into a million pieces!!!!!! we stood there for about 5 mins going "errrr...ummmm... shiiit!" then i laughed a bit cos im the sort that laughs at bad things. we then spent the following hour clearing it up.... and my god the glass had gone everywhere!!!!!!!!

so my clumsyness (not that i actually did anything to break it, it was a total freakish accident) has gone to a whole new level. i now have the superhero ability of destruction by sight. i can just look at something so innocently and it breaks! jen phoned k and she was ok about it..... for now at least.

oh and there is something ive been thinking about for a while but i havent discussed with anyone so last night i had a chat with my mum and then jen...... im thinking about changing jobs. ive been with my current company for 4 years and it has become a case of i love the people more than the job now. i really enjoy what i do i just dont see a future doing it there anymore. since the redundancies at the beginning of the year its all changed so much and there is no longer the opportunty for me to do what i had planned. ive got a few projects on at the moment so its not like im gonna hand my notice in today but i think its time to move on. my only problem is that i would probably have to move too. my mum was just like "do what ever makes you happy, just dont leave the country" and jen said something similar. and i have the flexibility to make the changes necessary to find a new thrill so maybe now is the time. so if anybody out there fancies offering me a job then that would be great!!!! biggrin

but the boys i work with have just bought me a twister ice cream lolly cos apparently im not being my usual cheery self. bless them!

so its been a hectic few days so i guess i have some catching up to do....

Saturday night:
me and the girls went out in southampton for jens birthday. we got very very messy. the night involved crazy drunken trumpet players, willy shaped bamboo sticks, dodgy glowsticks, some crazy dancing and a evil concoction of black sambucca and vodka!!!!! the birthday girl was the messyiest and we had to practically carry her to the taxi! then at 3am it all got very emotional and then i fell asleep on the phone... oopsie!!!!

i have to quote jen to descibe us.... "in true form viks in a print, i (jen) am in black and kathryns just got her tits out!"

Sunday:
I woke up with a stupid amount of excitement at 8am. Thats right people I had 4 hours sleep!!!!!!! It wasnt pretty! I was running around the house being all excited (you will find out why if you keep reading) whllst the girls were lying comotose on the sofa. I did entertain them by doing the full running man rountine (utah saints for those that havent heard me waffle on about it). Then we had a little bbq for lunch as part of jens birthday celebrations! It was an incredibly looooooong day but it was definatley worth the effort.

Monday:
Bank Holiday Monday will now be forever known to me as Mark Ronson Day!!! I have seen him before but this time was different in so many more amazing ways. I had a really wicked day just relaxing, which made a really good change from the hecticness that ive had going on recently. The gig was wicked. It was quite a nice venue as well which always helps. I was a little excited when the drummer from his band (he looks like a mini justin timberlake) walked past and then even more excited when candie payne floated past!!!! i was surprisingly restrained with my excitement cos i was with company otherwise i would have made an utter fool of myself!!!! biggrin the gig was awesome the only thing that was missing was that there was no daniel merriweather cos he was poorly. so i can forgive that. i had such an amazing time!!! thank you to the really awesome person who not only put up with me and my randomness but did the sweetest thing in the world ever! smile

kiss
just so i can have a perv....

Tuesday:
Jens actual birthday! Happy birthday big Smith!!!!!! We had a little party for her in the afternoon. I had bought indoor sparklers for her cake but K decided that proper sparklers would be better.... we were concerned that the house might get burnt down. Jen was totally spoilt! But she loved it so that was all that mattered!!! We spent the afternoon drinking and chilling in the garden. I was treading a very fine line between being a nasty red colour to a much hotter brown colour. Fortunately i went down the brown route.... K stayed white and Jen got a cracking tan. I can even myself out later with some fake tan, not that it will last! frown but as long as i can tell the difference between that and my white bits then im happy! smile Then we went out for some food... yummy!!!!
Tuesday night went down hill a little bit. I had maybe a few too many to drinks. I have maybe walked into someone life too early which has not helped their already confused situation. Im not really going to go into it cos its not appropriate but i really like someone and they say they like me but i have unintentionally caused them some confusion. all the signals were good and i was looking forward to taking it slow and seeing what happens but instead both feet jumped in and they jumped out. i have been thinking about the situation all night (and im worried about this person, you know what its like when you want to call to say hi but you know you just shouldnt) and there is nothing i can do but let them have some time. its kinda crappy but i just have to wait and im not massively patient, but i can wait for this one.

and on to today:
well im at work, specs on, drinking tea and working hard to distract myself..... but now im off to lunch so im gonna sit in the sun for 30 mins and try and amuse myself.... somehow..............

ive just been told a joke and i can never remember any jokes but ive just been rolled up with it so i thought i would share...... "did you hear about the dyslexic pimp who bought a warehouse?"

so me and my friends em and sarah have been trying to organise a school reunion. my advise is just dont ever do it.... its way too much work and you have to speak to people that you hated at school and have since turned into tossers as they have got older! anyway we decided it would be a great idea! anyway so we started on facebook and it has just taken off from there. but this morning we have finally managed to confirm a venue and a pretty good drinks deals! its amazing what you can get when you cash in on a few favours. so its all booked saturday 21st june (after much debate with everyone about dates and venues, you just cant please everyone!).

so i am off out for jens birthday tonight. that is unless jen has killedk in the mean time! its gonna be such a good night, messy and late but still good!!!!!!

then tomorrow lunch we are having a little bbq lunch cos jen is spending sunday and monday with her man and ive got some pretty exciting stuff going on too. her proper birthday is tuesday so we are having a little party for her and taking her our for dinner. so its all a bit hectic but really wicked. im gonna be knackered by wednesday though!

im really looking forward to this weekend. im more excited than i ever thought possible and i might actually explode with excitement!

i guess that is it for me for now.......

so i got home last night, me and jen had an arguement with k over a tin of stupid fucking tomato soup!!!!! seriously thats right the life or death situation that is a tin of soup. but i had a moan and got it out of my system (thank you).

ive decided im not going to go bowling tonight... i would rather eat cotton wool balls!

i won an award at work today, its a bit cack but i organised the sports relief event week and event night a few months ago and its really hard work but i was recognised for it today which was nice. i got a little medal and everything! our callcentre became part of the virtual call centre network for taking donations, so if you called up on the night you might have spoken to one of my guys... im proud of it even though its sounds a bit naff!

that plus a few other lovely things have really brightened up my day.

so i went out for a few drinkies last night, it was all very civilised. nothing to report. so when jen and i got home we just sat and did not very much really. we cooked dinner together (its like we are amarried couple but without all the complicated stuff!!!) and then we sat and channel hopped for about 2 hours. rock and roll!!!!!

kathryn got in late and i just wanted to check on her cos i felt like something was wrong... its a good thing i did. she is feeling a bit emotional at the moment (and she has a wisdom tooth issue) so i gave her a hug which i think helped. but then in the early hours of this morning it sounded like her and her man were having a tiff about something. i havent spoken to her yet but i know what it is. basically she is in the early stages of a new relationship and i think she is putting way to much expectation and pressure on it. ive told her before not to plan or demand anything just relax and see what happens. if you expect too much then its never gonna live up to your expectations and then you will be disappointed. im naturally a really positive person so its easy for me to say stuff like that. but its true, more relaxed you are the better it will be. but she is so highly strung about stuff at the mo i know that she wont appreciate what im saying. he is a really nice guy and i think them 2 are really suited i just hope her paranoia doesnt spoil it. but only she can figure it out. but me and jen are there for her whatever happens.

im still really excited about this weekend. its a bit full on but its gonna be amazing. jen wants all of us. (her, her man neil, k and her man simon) to all go bowling on friday night. woo hoo! my 2 favourite things going bowling and playing goosberry!!!! note the sarcasim.

i have said that i would prefer not to go and i really would like to go see my nanny. but we will see.

and as for trying to arrange everyone meeting in the same place at the same time on saturday for jens birthday, its like a military operation! so in the end today i sent out an email saying "where and when and any probs call me" type email to everyone. ive had a few interesting repsonses in picture form from our friend rich. 1 of which was borat?!?!?!?! who knows?!

i miss my sister loads at the moment. there is loads going on in my life both really good and not so good. and normally my life is a little bit quiet. it would be good just to sit with her and have a goss about stuff. but its not so easy when she is in singapore! she just has this really comforting aura about her. it doesnt matter how stressed or upset i am she can just look at me or say something funny (normally quoting 1 of our fave films or some in joke) and eveything in the world is right again. i just need her advice. ive written her a massive email talking to her about stuff so hopefully any day now i will get a reply. i know its selfish of me to miss her especially cos she is having an experiance of a lifetime but she just knew when i needed her. actually saying that i got an email from her a few weeks ago and all it said was "wuv u". its something we do. so i knew she knew i had stuff going on and she just wanted to let me know that she did. must be some freaky psychic sister thing.

its probably why i enjoy living with the girls so much cos they are sisters. and i spend lots of time with my sister in law and her sister. the girls refer to me as an adopted smith (their surname) and bex calls me her sister anyway which is nice for me.

now i sound wierd.

so this job i didnt get well ive got to go and get some "experiance in the right field" apparently. so from today i am making it my mission to cash in all the favours i have with the sales team! i have spoken to some of them about doingsome work, project work, general slave type thing for them. a few are quite keen. im gonna have to plan it though cos at this rate im off to basingstoke, leicester, dublin and london! i doubt i can get that much time out of the office but its worth a try!!!!! all for the sake of a job i really want!!!!! who would have thought that i once wanted to be a nurse, librarian, art therapy teacher........ a girl can dream. the exciting career path that i have led, or not! ive picked up the keys skills that i need for life through my vast working history. i can design a store, change a light fitting, pull a pint, and i know all about contact lenses......... everything you could ever wish to know!!!!!!!!!!!

but im actually in the best mood ever. i cant really explain now, but its all soooooo good!

my ramblings are over for another day. x

APRIL 30, 2008 @ 03:35 AM | NO COMMENTS

poorly update: slightly better than yesterday, still a particuarly unplesant cough but generally on the mend. being poorly makes me argumentative so its been an interesting few days.

but on a more cheery note (back to my usual happy self) im soooo looking forward to this weekend. we are having a whole heap of celebrations as its jens birthday. i would like to make fun of her and say she is old (a mere 28) but i cant cos im only 6 months younger than her! the usual crowd is going out into southampton (woo hoo!!!!!) on saturday and we are currently planning our party map. i have so spoilt jen for her birthday as well cos she totally deserves it. she has been the most amazing friend to me, especially over the last year so i kinda blew my budget on her. and ive gone a little bit balloontastic, but its awesome!!!!!!

i am really excited about the bank holiday weekend. ive got loads going on and its just going to be awesome spending time with some amazing people. but i will share all!!!!!!

im off for a few drinkies with some friends / work peeps tonight it wont be late cos im soooo tired right now, but its been a few weeks since we were all sociable so its will be nice.

hmmmmnnnnn...... thats it for about now

im sick which tends to make me a miserable bitch (just ask my friends). the gym hates me and i miss my sister. other than that everything is right in the world! x
APRIL 28, 2008 @ 03:31 AM | 1 COMMENT

so im not sleepy this morning considering how little sleep ive actually had in the last few days, normally i need my beauty sleep to keep me going but other things are keeping me awake at the moment, so there are no complaints from me wink

however i feel sooooooooooo poorly. i have got a really sore throat and the grossest flemiest cough ever and my chest hurts and so on..... i have been moaning about it alot recentley so im gonna stop moaning and die quietley somewhere.

random thing: 1 of the girls at work said to me this morning said she was wactching a film with cameron diaz in it last night and she though i looked like her!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? what?!!!! random!?!?!?! im not 6ft, skinny and blonde... in fact im the opposite........ i would say she was taking the piss but not form this person!

im in cake trouble today!!!! there are way too many birthdays in the office which is cake tastic. so cakes plus chewits means im having a little bit of a sugar rush today (which is fabbo) but the sugar wasnt really being my friend when i needed to have a word with my boss and i gt a little bit lehry with her... not the best plan!!!!

and my stupid fucking company who makes out they are really cool and stuff have banned facebook. fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and they have fucked up some replication thing which has thrown my department into chaos!!!

and then i get referred to as the "helium balloon expert" by a manager... errr hello i have a name.....and asked stupid fucking questions that are just obvious!!!!!!!!

and the boys i work with (rob, james and craig) are being super argumentative today so im having to pull some serious tactics out of the bag to stop them smacking someone in the head. its kinda funny!

rant over for now!

but on a more positive note, its my big bros birthday today so being the wonderful sister that i am i have bought his tickets to see ladyton (not that he deserves it) so i am totally ace in his books today!!!! happy birthday doug!!!!

hmmmnnnn....... what else!!!!

im off to see mark ronson next monday and there is something more exciting than that happening at the weekend too, but more on that later. but if im saying that there is something more exciting than mark ronson then you know its gotta be big!!!!!!!

x

oh and my company have asked me to give them some feedback about the recent redundancy situation.............. fools!!!!!!!!

APRIL 26, 2008 @ 02:10 AM | NO COMMENTS

well ive manage to get hold of my sister. a combination of leaving messages with her fiances brother who lives in australia and lots and lots of emails and facebook messages she has made contact woo hoo!!!! normally we chat back on forth on email and the like ages but where is is at the moment in cambodia i dont think they even have running water nevermind modern day technology. i feel better for speaking to her but also so sad cos i miss her... but its only 195 days til i see her which makes me happy!

and on the happy note I think i am the luckiest girl in the world. thanks to a very special gentleman!!!!!!! he has bought tickets for us to go to a gig and im soooo excited about it. im excited about the gig but stupidly giddy with excitement about who im going with. either way i might explode with excitement!!!!!!!!!!!

and i have a really sore throat and a cracking cough that makes me sounds like i smoke a hundred a day......
