What an amazing adventure the past couple of months has been!

So...since it has been so long since I have posted on here...I have a new boy in my life...well two really. Josh and his 6 year old son Seth.

I have known Josh for many years and I have always had a bit of a crush on him but I met him because he was my friends boyfriend, so clearly out of bounds.

Anyways...turns out Josh has always thought of me as his 'ideal' girl and said he always dreamt of being with someone like me but never though it would actually be me. It is a very very long story but basically Josh recently seperated from his wife (long time coming) and about a month or so ago Josh and I realised that our feelings for each other were reciprocated and we have been attached at th hip ever since.

Josh treats me like a total princess and makes me feel like the prettiest girl in the world. This I have never felt before.

For valentines day we stayed up until midnight the night before so that we could exchange cards right on valentines day. His card was so amazing...he wrote on every possible part on the card, front and back and the words he wrote were so beautiful.  Then we got up on Saturday and went to an engagement party which was really nice, then had lunch at wellington point.
Sunday Josh took me shopping in the city where he spoilt me rotten! He brought me 2 big warm jackets to take to Europe (I go in 2 weeks!!) a whole new outfit, sunnies and also paid for lunch then took me out to dinner. It was like a valentines day weekend! He just adores me and I adore him :)
We are so comfortable around each other because we have known each other for so long and already know everything about each other. I feel like I am going out with my best friend and my ideal boyfriend. Blah blah blah lol.

Anyways...I just wanted to brag about how amazing my boyfriend is and how I never dreamt of feeling this happy with someone:)

Though I would do a quick update of weightloss pics - Was just going through photos on my work computer and found some horrid pics.







And Some from last weekend -

There is always a terrible feeling that looms on a Monday morning....

The feeling that the weekend is over ... and a new week is just begining...

Usually Monday's don't get to me so much, the day always goes quickly because I am so busy...But this morning I am really struggling to get moving!

I know that when I get to work I will look at the amount of things I have to do today and possible have a stroke!

We have had so many staff changes lately which have included two members of my team leaving, leaving my team with a staff count of...ONE! ...Its just me!! Not only am I picking up the slack for the two staff members from my team that left but I also have my own work to do which is a full time job in itself!

How on earth am I going to make it through this week???


I just have to suck it up and deal with it I suppose...
But I will still complain while I am doing it HAHA...


Not worry!

In other news...I have pre booked my Europe trip, the agent is emailing me the final details today and then it will be locked in!
It will be about 6 weeks from 1/3/09 travelling around great Britain andEurope with a 4 day stop over at Korea on the way home :D

Im stoked!

Anyways...I better go drag Latte Boy's bum out of bed so we can get going...

XX

Sooooo....

Last night Latte boy stayed at my place and we were laying in bed when he quizzed me about how I felt about him....

I didn't really know what to say because I don't really know how I feel.
I like him, a lot, but I still feel like we are just getting to know each other, after all it has only been a month.

I told him that I really liked him and that I have been enjoying hanging out with him...I didn't know what else to say.

He looked a little bit deflated and said "Is that all you feel? You really 'like' me?"

He continued to say how he thinks I should be more open and tell him exactly how I feel. He thought I was hiding my feelings from him...

I just didn't know what to say...I seriously don't know how I feel. I like him, I really do...But I am certainly not about to drop the "L" word!!

We had a similar conversation a couple of weeks ago, but when it comes to me asking him what he feels he manages to dodge the question...this time he was open about how he feels... much to my surprise!

He told me that he has never felt this way about a anyone even though he has been ENGAGED before.
He said 'If I told you that I was falling in love with you then that would be a massive understatement'

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I am afraid of commitment or something but ...Im not even calling him my boyfriend yet and he is practically dropping the "L" word!

I feel like I am leading him on...or ...I don't know. I want to be with him but I just don't think that we have the same feelings for each other...Maybe I just take a little bit longer to fall for people than he does?...Maybe I am just scared of getting hurt or something... I have never been with someone like this before so it's all very new to me!

What do you think?? How soon is too soon to drop the L word? It's not something that you can take back and its not something that you don't want a response to. I don't want to hurt his feelings but I am not ready to confess my undying love to him yet....

ok so here is the updates haha

date 1 -
I met him in the city because he had some shopping to do ...Then we walked back to my work and put all his shopping in my car and went to the Melbourne in Westend and had a couple of drinks. After a couple of drinks we went back to his place, he lives in an apartment in westend and it has really nice views!
We just hung out..and made out... lol and then i went home at about 2.30am....

Date 2 -
He text me yesterday morning and after a few texts back and forth he asked me what I was doing later in the arvo and he came all the ay out to my place and picked me up. I told him it would be easier for me just to meet him somewhere but he wanted to pick me up...she he came at about 3pm and then we just went back to his place and sat on the balcony and watched the storm over the city and then watched a movie....but didnt actually watch much of it.... haha...

He is really nice and kinda cute...but we have NOTHING in common, we are total opposites of each other...except that I like lattes and he makes lattes....

Today I am helping my dad with some things, cleaning the house and then going to Big Brother with Shannon :D

Last nights dte was really nice :)...
Date number 2 tonight :)

Ok ... So, in follow up to my last post...

Shannon the Latte Boy manned up and asked me on a date!...kind of...again... lol

He was telling me how he was roller skating last night (training for Ski season) and said that I should go skating with him one night. I laughed and told him that I doubt I could remember how to skate because I haven't skated since I was like 8. He said that it would be fun but if I wouldn't go skating with him that I should meet him for a drink after work tomorrow night.

I considered this to be the better option of the two!

So I shyly laughed and said ok, he gave me his number so that I could text him my number and organise to meet tomorrow after work.

I said that I will see him again tomorrow when I come and get coffee so we can organise it more then and he said 'Great, I am really excited'...

I think he will have a couple of friends there too so its not really a date...I hope its not awkward when I am there by myself with him and his mates haha, who knows? I like meeting new people anyway.

So this is really the first 'date' I have ever been on... Im looking forward to it :)

I will keep you posted!

Thanks for the extra foam....

Love life and lack there of...

I think I have been hit on by my latte boy...

I would hate to be one of those girls that think a guy is hitting on them everytime a he looks at them...but I am pretty sure he is keen...You be the judge...

I have been going to the same coffee shop for the past couple of years when I do the banking for work but a new guy started a few months ago and whenever I go in there he says 'Hey Gorgeous' and chats to me while he makes my coffee....which is not all that unusual for a coffee boy but lately he has been excessively nice.

He always compliments me and then on Monday he asked me what I was doing after work and said that he would be at The Melbourne (a pub in Westend) and that I should head down when I finish. I just laughed and said that drinking on a Monday night might be considered a drinking problem lol.

Then on Tuesday when I went in, he came out from behind the counter to talk to me and was asking me what I do and when I explained it he was like 'wow thats really interesting, we should go out for a beer one night, I'd really like to hear more about your job'...then he showed me an article in the newspaper because his friend was in it because he is a chef and turns out that Latte boy is a chef as well and his name is Shannon lol.

Anyways he was saying how he didn't end up going to the pub on Monday night like he said becuase all his friends are on a health kick at the moment and are getting fit for Ski season and that he needs someone new to go to the pub with and that we should get a beer after work one night lol.

Then today when I went in he said that he was telling his housemate about me and realised that he didn't actually know my name....
I was like...ahhh what were you telling your housemate? and he said he was just explaining my job to him or something...anyway so now he knows my name....

I am not sure that he is really my type... He is really lovely but Im not sure that we would have anything to talk about. Who knows?
If he asks me out for a drink on a specific night rather than offering a general invite then I will say yes and see what happens lol.

Its nice to feel like someone is interested in you...Especially given my lack of love life... and recent events. It would be good to have some distraction haha.



Stay tuned for the next installment - I will be seeing him again tomorrow when I go get my Skinny Latte....





Watch that! It totally relates to my latte boy :)

Its my mum and dads 25th wedding anniversary this weekend, here is an old pic I found of them

Not sure what year this was taken, I think it was early eighties.
Anyways, 25 years is a very long time to be married to someone, especially these days, and they are still going stong.
Of course, dad has less hair now and mum has more wrinkles.
I think my dad looks like some Italian Mafia guy...or the Fonz haha. Mum has a lovely Farrah Fawcett Hair do.

I have ordered a cake for their anniversary with this picture on it, hopefully it turns out nice.

I should have stayed in bed on Saturday! It would have saved me lots of money for a start...
Heres how my day panned out...

1.I got up on Saturday morning and was getting dressed and accidently stuck my hand in my ceiling fan... :(

2. I went to DFO with Shannon and found some great bargains.... :)

3.I was driving home from DFO and heading over the gateway bridge when a HUGE rock came off the back of a truck and went under my car...the rock smashed through my front bumper and detroyed the underside of my car...smashed my gearbox housing, ripped holes in my gearbox sump and caused every last drop of oil to leak out...Totally undrivable and is now at a towing companys holding yard until my insurance company pick it up to assess it...I have to pay $700 in excess.... :(

4. I was invited to Micks place for house warming beers... He mentioned earlier in the week that he had no linen so I kindly brought him a Quilt set from DFO and took over a carton of beer for the boys...I get there and its just him and his girlfriend there...a girlfriend who Mick has NEVER mentioned to me and looked awkward when I arrived bearing gifts for her boyfriend...they have been together for a few months apparently...she was like ' oh your Jac, I have heard so much about you, its good to finally meet you'....again, Mick has never mentioned HER to ME... Very awkward. I felt like I was intruding on their quiet night in, even though he had invited me over! so I left a lot earlier than I was planning to and headed home. :(

5. Not long after I got home from Mick's (about 8pm), an old school friend rang to see if I want to hang out with him. I went and picked him up from his place and we went to Wellington Point and then...he hit on me...it was really out of the blue... and awkward...so long story short...I got home at about 2am, confused, akward, stressed, pissed off and very tired. Lol

Thats a big enough rant!

Thank god the long weekend is coming up!
