from another weekend of football hell end??? seriously, that is the only way i can describe the weekend that has now ended...Brumbies thumped despite looking like a comeback at some point in the 2nd half, Bulldogs thumped and I hate to admit it, absolutely outclassed by those bloody Chooks, Blues not thumped but lost all the same, and not just lost, but to the Bombers (which would only be worse if it were the ferral Pies)...is there no end to my football pain???
on another, and entirely unrelated note, i had the most FABULOUS weekend with my new boyfriend (which sounds kinda weird, not coz he isn't, but because it's even hard for me to think in those terms, in my head!)...see lastnight was our first 'official outing' as a couple and we were both a little bit nervous (for entirely different reasons)...
so we glam up (one of my friends wives is celebrating her 40th) for an evening of 'casino royale', which can i say, was great! fabulous party and the theme and resulting activities made for a fun evening - how else can you lose $30,000 playing poker without really spending a cent???
went a lot better than i thought it would (and don't get me wrong, i didn't think it would be a problem but i was worried how he might react to the probing questions of a certain few - didn't happen!)...thank you universe!
biggest issue of the night was actually my own discomfort - see the friend i've blogged about recently was there with his new girlfriend and it was a little weird - haven't really said that to anyone, but it was - our usual banter was obviously missing and the conversation was both stilted and 'shallow' (or if not shallow, lacking the depth of people who have been friends for nearly 20 years) - not once did he ask me how i was (he did say how great i looked which is perhaps his way of assuming i am good coz i looked so good??...) - kinda hurtful though...the other thing was my usually warm and bubbly self was not there when he introduced me to his new girlfriend and i fear i may have come across as something less than happy to meet her, which of course i wasn't, i just wasn't very comfortable in his presence...
as it getting towards that time when we wanted to go home, we said our goodbyes (including to the two of them) and his new girlfriend suggested that 'next time it was at their's' - i'm assuming that means they are inviting us to the new pad...mmm not sure how i feel about that...so him and i say our goodbyes, painfully uncomfortable, as if we were ex's who haven't seen each other since the breakup, although that couldn't be further from the truth, he asks when i'm in town next, i tell him, he says bye to Ben (and whispers in his ear "look after her")...so it seems like he cares about me, doesn't it?
who knows? anyway, i digress! what i wanted to talk about was how much i enjoyed having someone (and not just someone, but someone special, and in particular Ben) to go to a party with...i know that i absolutely had a better time with him there - lastnight is such a quantum leap from where i found myself only seven weeks ago (read Acutely Single)...i hope that my future holds a multitude of fabulous evenings in his company and even more weekends together with him as my special someone...
