Back we'll go - I think 2007-03-19 11:24:55 Last night I listened to Wayne tell his mother about our plans to try to move back to the States (I don't think
Mother's day was the best day to break the news, but men don't always consider such things)....
Brighton Yesterday 2007-03-18 16:16:38 We went into Brighton
yesterday. Brighton is a trendy, artsey town that reminds me of England meets New York City and any up scale shore town in Jersey (it also happens to be the Gay capitol of England - not... Read more:Yesterday
One of those days 2007-03-15 15:29:57 It's been one of those days - One of those days that I'm feeling really alone here. I had a really crap morning. Nothing really terrible, but not a way to start the day. My cat Alfie (my problem child)...
What I take personally 2007-03-14 20:30:24 Someone recently said that they wonder why it is I take it so personally every time someone here says anything negative about the US Government. My answer to that is - I don't. I agree whole heartedly with what most...
What a difference the sun makes 2007-03-13 15:43:35 I think spring has arrived. The winters here seem to last 6 months and in that time it's more dark and grey than anything else. Sunday, the sun came out strong and it's been nice ever since. What a lift... Read more:difference

On love & sex... 2007-03-23 19:19:22 I've had two friends talk to me about their relationships with week. Both are in committed long term relationships, one friend a man and the other a woman - both going through a bit of a rough patch with their...
Still alive... 2007-04-04 22:46:59 I haven't written in at least a week (the calender you see isn't visible to me at the moment and I'm too tired to look). I've been busy with work. My cosmetics supplier is not playing nice with their advertising...
A revelation... 2007-04-11 15:29:31 On my daily walk this morning, I saw a very pregnant woman shopping on the harbor. It hit me just then, that if all goes according to plan - this time next year, I could be looking very similar to...
30 Seconds... 2007-04-13 10:15:04 The other day, my husband had an awful experience...It was a beautiful day so that morning I sent a text to my trainer and asked to take our workout outside. On really nice days we walk/jog along the harbour and... Read more:Seconds
Coulddn't sleep 2007-04-13 01:52:09 I went to bed over an hour ago, but I couldn't sleep so here I am. It's not really that late, but here in the silent darkness, it feels much later. I used to have a sleeping disorder. I didn't...
Very Random thoughts 2007-04-14 11:28:03 I just watched the movie 'The Holiday' It's been a while since I've enjoyed a romantic comedy. It was really cute. It was about an English an American woman who swap houses for a couple of weeks to get away... Read more:Random

A friend's words of wisdom 2007-04-18 18:24:38 I recieved an email from a friend
today offering her support after yesterday's dreary entry. She told me she knows how I feel having spent a lot of time in Italy (her husband is Italian and now lives in the...
Here we go again... 2007-04-17 11:58:28 When I heard about the shootings yesterday, my first thought was how horrible it was for the victims and their loved ones. As it unfolded and the numbers grew, I must admit I started having more and more feelings of...
Some more random thoughts... 2007-04-26 19:17:32 I just talked to an old friend for the first time in ages. It was really nice to catch up and have a fun, light-hearted conversation. I don't get to do that with people other than my husband much these... Read more:thoughts
A Confession... 2007-04-29 09:50:50 I have a confession to make - after two years of being smoke free - I've started again. I'm ashamed of myself and I don't even have a good reason why. I think it's just boredom (mixed with a bit...
Our day in London... 2007-05-04 11:07:32 Well, I did it - I went on the London eye and it was really cool. I only got dizzy a couple of times when I looked straight down. Other than that it wasn't scary at all. I was too...
An ego boost... 2007-05-10 15:09:37 A guy walked into a parked car while checking me out today. Is it horrible that it made my day? Hell, who am I kidding? It made my week! Granted, I was walking out of the gym wearing a form...
Big things on my mind... 2007-05-14 10:59:28 Keeping this blog is tricky at times. More times than not, I write when I need to feel more connected to the rest of the world. It's 9:30 in the morning. Wayne has left for work and until I go... Read more:things
Just being honest... 2007-05-11 13:48:24 I've gotten a few emails since yesterday's post from people trying to make me feel better about the email I got from the girl telling me I seem to have a weight problem. First, let me just say that I... Read more:honest
It's all happening 2007-05-17 12:18:43 Wayne and I are officially trying to have a baby. It feels weird announcing it to the world before telling half my friends and family, but half my friends and family are not as easily accessible and I just needed...
Life in the UK test 2007-05-18 13:05:19 I just found out that in order to get my next Visa (indefinite leave to remain), I need to pass a 'Life in the UK' test. I just ordered my handbook. By the time I take the test, I'll know...
My biggest misadventure... 2007-05-17 14:01:24 Looking for blogging topics, I looked on a blogging website that suggested writing about a time I was in grave danger - I then realized I had a story worth sharing... When I was 19 years old, I was held...
Oh Baby! 2007-06-04 07:08:39 I've just found out I'm pregnant! We just started trying last month and much to our surprise - we're going to have a baby! I found out on Friday. I wasn't even late yet (only by a day or two),...
It still seems surreal 2007-06-12 10:18:58 You would think I'd have a lot to say. I'm pregnant and big things are going on, but oddly enough I really don't have a lot to say. I think I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact... Read more:surreal
Sad News 2007-06-19 10:40:54 Sadly, I suffered a miscarriage over the weekend. We went to the hospital yesterday morning to confirm with an ultrasound and were given the official word there. The pain started Saturday and got progressively worse through the day on Sunday....
A good omen... 2007-07-04 13:40:37 This was the view out my back door the other day. It's one of the perks of living here. growing up in Jersey - I can't say I ever saw a real rainbow before in my life. It was beautiful....
Thanks so much 2007-07-03 06:45:43 I just wanted to thank everyone who offered their support through the miscarriage. I'm feeling fine and back to normal - just haven't been in the mood for blogging lately. I'll try to get back to it real soon. Again... Read more:Thanks
My new neighbors 2007-07-05 05:29:38 About a month ago, I had new neighbors move in next door. I had high hopes for quiet neighbors. The one that moved out, was far from unobtrusive. I made the mistake of introducing myself when she moved in. Two...
BORED! 2007-07-10 05:45:05 I'm so f@cken bored. What I wouldn't do for just one social contact in this country. I spend 90% of my time by myself and to be quite honest - I'm sick of me. I'm bored with me and I'm...
My first NHS experience... 2007-07-09 07:04:27 Friday night, I had my first ER visit since moving here. Earlier that day, I started having pain in my lower front side. By the time Wayne came home, I was doubled over in pain and fighting going to the... Read more:experience
