( My Birthday Dinner with workmates )

( Katie's 21st )

So in the last few months:

-Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and ended up having her breast removed.
-We sold Timmothy Drive and moved to a rental in Scoresby.
-Mum bought a townhouse in Ferntree Gully, where now the two of us are living and the boys are staying in Scoresby for the time being.
-Damien and I have made it to 6 months without killing each other so things are going well! The girls keep asking about the "L" word but it's yet to be said. I told them there is apart of me that does, because at the basis of our relationship is a close friendship. So only time will tell.
-Kristina & Bridezilla are both pregnant.
-Saw Silverchair and Powderfinger.
-Seeing Kelly Clarkson and The Killers, again!!

Thats about it. Its been a stressful couple of months, but many happy times also.



Damien & I at Michelle's farewell.

Alot has been happening since my last entry. I've been spending my weekends with Damien either at my place or his.

The weekend at Mt Martha was great! So relaxing sitting around doing nothing. His Dad and Stepmum are really cool and made me feel really welcome. We had our first kiss that weekend which the girls were asking me about last night.

Then the weekend after that we spent the Friday night at his place but he left his house keys at his sisters so we sat outside for an hour in the cold drinking beer while waiting for her to come. On the Saturday we headed over to Knox and wathced "Music & Lyrics" before hanging out at my place, listening to the new Silverchair album. Eventually we left to go to his friends sisters engagement party with Matt from work. They had a bit to drink, Damien and I had a misunterstanding on the way home. He thought I was annoyed at him for drinking but I just told him I go quiet when I'm tired and grumpy. So we cleared that up and spent the night at my place.

This past weekend started with DVD's and pizza at my place on Thursday night. Then we drove to his place on the Saturday and Matt came over so we watched some movies and had tea. The next morning we all went for a walk then the boys continued working out while I watched some TV and read. We eventually left to go out for dinner with JG, BJ & MK, then went back to JG's. He was tired so he slept on the couch while I taled with the girls. They're happy for me and want to get to know him which is good. Then after spending Saturday night at my place, Sunday morning we got up and went to Mt Martha for one of his Dad's infamous roast. First off they all went out on the jetskis, which I refused to go on for the time being. Roast dinner was good, hung around and ate icecream while watching the Biggest Loser then we headed back to Damien's for the night. Monday morning we walked to the shop and got the paper and read that while he waited for a load of washing to finish, then he dropped me home while he went and did some work stuff. He came back over later and we went and saw 300. Yeah, no. I get to pick the next 5 movies after that. Then he stayed at my place again and Tuesday we got up and went to work.

And now here we are. This weekend he's going to John's farm for a boys weekend so I'll get a chance to do everything that I haven't been able to do. And the weekend after that he's planning on going up to Wangaratta to see his grandparents before the move up north. I said I'm not sure if I'll come or not. All I know is that I miss him when he's not around.

After several calls on Saturday as to what to do I finally told Damien to just come to my house and we'd figure it from there. So he came round around 7:30pm and I suggested The Hawthorn Pub to go after dinner and drink. He chose CaComa in Rowville for tea so drove there and had dinner, well I didn't really eat because I was still feeling ill. Then drove back to my house to call a taxi for the pub. I took some stuff for my belly then left when the taxi came. Got to about the Burvale when I said to Dam "Can we got back? I don't feel well" So we turned around and came home. I bet that was fun for the taxi driver. So I said to Damien we'll just watch some dvd's. He didn't like anything I had so we headed off to Blockbuster.

I let him choose the movies as I made us come home. Back to my place and we popped the movies on in my room and cuddled up in bed. Two movies later and we're still nice and snug together. I begin channell surfing and find a movie on about Ali. Seeing as though Dam is into boxing he goes "I'm gona watch this then go home" It was about 2:15am at this stage so I go "Well I'm going to sleep" And I did. Then later he taps me on my back and goes "Lozzie, I'm going now" I say "Has the movie finished?" He goes "Yeah" I go "OK" And we fall asleep. So we spent the night together. Then in the morning when he has to go, we get up and walk out my room and because the night before mum offered to make him up a bed if we were going to be drinking, she goes to him "Well I'm glad I made up that bed then. I just didn't realise it'd be so close to missy" OMG, how hilarious!! He tells me later "That was abit awkward" Mum also goes "So I guess I'll be seeing you again" Hahahaha. So funny!

Lastly, while at tea he asked if I'd like to go to Mt Martha with him this weekend and stay at his dad's house. I said ok, so I'm actually looking forward to it. Michelle, of course, wants the gossip. I told her about the weekend and he told John. I'm abrahensive about telling people at work, just because I don't know, I don't want their judging. Especially Vickie I guess. She's told him while I was right there that she thinks I'm too good for him or anyone else at PBN. And I like and respect Vickie alot. So yeah, that's it.

Last weekend, I ended up going to the footy with MK and Kate on Saturday. It was hot as hell, but hey, if we get to sit and perve on our boys for a few hours who are we to complain. Anyhow, Melbourne won. Go Dees!

Monday, played pitch and putt with John and Damien. I kicked ass and won! I've been letting them know it all week. Then had an hour to kill before meeting the girls for mini golf next door, so went and had lunch at Hungry Jacks. Shortly after we got our food, the power went out. We were like "We don't care, we got our food!" Then John went home and Damien came and played minigolf with me and the girls. Again he lost, haha. Afterwards, went and had coffee and food with the girls and caught up on everything. MK said to keep Damien around coz BJ needs a friend. Ok, I'll try. Earlier she goes to me "Is he a friend or friend friend?" I said he's just a friend so she goes "So you haven't pashed him?" Nope, not yet. But she's all for it.

So today is St Patrick's Day. Yesterday Damien said he was taking me out and would call me today. He gave me a call last night to I guess just confirm that I was free for a drunkin' night, so I said I'm always up for getting drunk. Now I'm just waiting to hear we're going. Who wants to place a bet that some dodgies are going to happen? ;)

Wait and see folks...

Oh, and the whole Marcia and Swavek thing. She told me yesterday that they're finished for good, they're not talking and all it is now is work. I said people think he tells me stuff but he tells no one anything and that I've always stayed clear of it, it was their thing. Swav has said nothing, of course. Went to the Wheelers after work with him and some others and he said nothing. John was talking to him earlier about Marcia but I didn't hear it all. I guess John doesn't know or was trying to fish it out of him. I went and told Michelle all this and she's gone "Your great for gossip!" So yes, that's over, which means the 2 guys I'd consider dating from work are both single and one is taking me out tonight. If I were to ever hook up with Swavek, I'd be a bit hestitant, I suppose just because I know Marcia and I like her and they obviously had their differences. Oh, who the hell knows.

So it's Labour Day weekend which means long weekend, woo-hoo! This time last year I was down at Apollo Bay. No camping this year. Very little plans really. Tomorrow depending on the weather, may go see Melbourne v Richmond with MK. Monday I'm playing golf with the boys. Shall be interesting considering I'm not all that great. Sunday no plans as yet. JG wanted to do something this weekend but she's already said no to football so not sure if she's going down to Phillip Island or not. We'll see.

Damien is still ssying he wants to take me out so I said my weekends are fairly casual so let me know when he wants to go. He gave me a great back massage today. I want more and I shall get more - considering I give him a hand massage every day (with moisturiser, his hand were rough as guts, not so bad now) He also came by after work the other night to pick up a charger (he was staying at John's that night and forgot to briong his) so he met mum and was telling everyone the next day how he met my mum.

People are talking about Swavek and Marcia. We all feel sorry for him because we can see that it won't last. They did move in together but apparently she kicked him out after a week. He's failed to mention that to anybody though. Michelle thinks I'm in love with him. Yes, I like him and I think he is a nice guy and deserves to be treated well, does NOT mean I'm in love with him. We were having our general banter yesterday and I said something along the lines of is he like my brother in that he'll only let me hug him when he's drunk. So today he was in Mish's office sitting on the chair backwards so I came up behind and go "CUDDLES!!" He loved it, haha! Then after he left Michelle goes "He always seems happier when your around" Um, what the?? Vickie had said earlier that he used to be such a happy happy guy but now he's just down. So that fact that Michelle said that i was just like, huh. I wouldn't consider anything with him until him and Marcia are well and truly finished which if either get their arse into gear who knows when that'll be.

Speaking of Marcia, had her birthday party last Sunday night. I was feeling good, drinking great wine, then got home felt a bit ill so went outside to get some air and decided that I'd feel much better if I threw up, so I did! And I felt great. We to bed and feel straight asleep. Also Swavek was introducing me to people as his wife so he's comfortable with other people knowing that. But it's good socialising outside of work.

That's about it for now. Lots of work gossip, confusion on the boy front for me but we shall see what the future brings.

Everybody now, awwwww! :) Could he be any cuter??




So happy footy season is back!!

( And two more, just coz )

Today is JG's birthday. MK and I dropped by after work because we were suppose to be going out for tea tomorrow but JG being her was like "Nooo". But MK mentioned maybe doing breakfast on Saturday. It was good to see them. Haven't seen them in forever. While we were there JG got a birthday text from Kris, but she didn't reply, thought she might let Kris wait a while. I said to keep me updated.

Valentine's Day Amy bought us roses and chocolates. Michelle bought chocolates and I made chocolate cake so we were chocolated out. I got two kisses from Damien (but then again today I gave him one and he gave me one -- we're rather affectionate) Then Amy was complaining about not getting any flowers so Max and Tristan (we figured out it was them) arranged for some flowers to be delivered to "The Lovely Ladies at PBN" so we thought that was nice. This weekend is Marcia's birthday and us girls got an exclusive invite. Hopefully shall be good and won't be too hungover for work on Monday.

EDIT: Because of my retarded livejournal, some people are cut out of photos. If I can be bothered later I will fix them. Til then...

( Some Random Pics From Work )

( PBNs Girls' Night Out )

Last night, we all went out for tea followed by karaoke. A fantastic night was had by all. Lots of beer was drunk and few cowboy shots for me as well. We ended up having a private room which was actually quite fun. We all had a sing but John & Damien took control of the mics most of the night. We all pretty much made dicks of ourselves but hey, if you can't let your hair down every once in a while, when can you? After my shinagans with John & Damien, Damien said to me today "I think we're more than friends now" Hahaha.

Some photos ( ... )

OMG, best concert pretty much ever!! Ad that's saying alot because I've loved so many concerts in the past. I didn't expect anything less from them. Will try to make this a brief run down. David & I got there on time, door bitch found my camera in bag so I said I'd go check it, but walked away and David put it in his pocket. I then checked just my bag in, but thankfully kept my purse with me (to buy water later, so so so hot!!) Back at the door, the girl has gone "Empty your pockets" so we did, I just had my phone, David had his phone and my purse. She patted him down but didn't find the camera, woo-hoo! In we go, I got a tshirt (yay!) and a drink and waited for the opening band, Starky. I thought they were just average, I only know one of their songs from watching Rage. Then after they finished, toilet break, got a bottle of water and finally The Killers came on. ( Set list behind cut ) with song notes.

Other highlights. Brandon using the whole stage and coming over to our side and waving and acknowledging us often. All his dancing, so cute. Brandon in general. He really is rather slim, but hot as all hell, well I think so ;) Brandon saying how appreciative they are having fans on the other side of the world - they're humble by it and the fact that we all come out to see them. Absolutely!! The fact that everyone is up and dancing for the whole show, and singing every word just proves how loved they are.

Now some ( rather average quality photos but hey, I got my camera in! )

Yay! Two more sleeps til concert!! Excitement!! I read the tickets the other day and it says no cameras, videos or recorders etc but hell, I'm going to do my darndest to sneak my camera in. No way am I missing out on photos. Hell no!! And I thinks it's going to be a hot day so one should expexct an even hotter night. Awe-Some!

Went to a body jam class tonight with Michelle and Amy. It's like dance aerobics. It was fun. Amy & I didn't hand in our passes when we got there (hey, we've never done it before) so next week we'll use em and get in for free, haha!
