I'm finally over it!

Hey guys,

Sorry I been a little absent lately, the thing is, I have been soooo busy! I decided to take the plunge and bought myself an apartment, I'd been wanting to do it for so long!!! So exciting, but also, so frightening! Having to depart with that much cash was terrifying but owning is definitely much better than throwing away money in rent. Anyway it's 2 bedroom, open plan dining, kitchen and lounge and while it's a little shabby at the moment, I cannot wait to get paint and decorate it.

So as you can see I am totally over "that guy", and I now feel it's been a blessing otherwise I would still be stuck in rentville, without going forward, especially since he had his little family tucked away out of view, I would have never been able to get him to leave them and obviously I was more a plaything than anything else. Well his loss I say!

For now it's Martha Stewart have become and am having fun setting up my new home, I must have visited her website a million times already! and this weekend, I'm off to find some new furniture and decorative pieces to create my nice homely environment.

Ciao for now!

My credit card is sick!

Okay, so with warmer days here I decided that I would go and get some new clothes. I went to a few of my favorite stores and bought the cutest sandals, shorts, jeans and bikinis I spent about $400 which I thought was pretty good, so anyway I was getting quite tired and was in need of a mean shot of java so I sat down and enjoyed my coffee and opened some mail that which had been swimming around my handbag for a while.

I was completely shocked when I opened my Visa bill and saw that I had racked up $5,695 in purchases! I couldn't believe it, where the hell had all the money gone? I started to read the bill and noticed that while I was with Mike, I actually paid for quite a lot of dinners, trips to cafes, movies etc... and because I was totally in love with the guy, I hadn't noticed that I'd been handing over my card more often than him! I feel like such a total sucker, and feel more used now than when he dumped me.

So to drown my sorrows I had yet another calorie and alcohol fest and this morning, the day after, I feel completely sick. Total waste of time buying the bikinis. - Jen

The Care Package

You can always count on your girlfriends to ease the pain after a relationship goes south, so when a care package arrived at my door, I knew my best friends Sacha, Kelly and Renee had been hard at work to cheer me up.

Inside were a Creamy Candy Bubble Bar from Lush, a Mandarin Scented Candle, a book "The Breakup Survival Kit" by Anthea Paul, a copy of the movies Pretty Woman and Working Girl, miniature bottles of Absolut Vodka, some Kleenex, a baby bottle of champers and a gorgeous box of Lindt Chocolates mmm....!!!

But the best gift of all was a miniature velcro dart board with velcro darts that shot out of a little plastic gun and on the dart board, a picture of Mike! (sorry no photo).

Sacha, Kelly & Renee - luv u guys, you're the best! - Jen

Single Again!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it happened, I got dumped again!!! what's wrong with me, I'm attracted to cruel men, they start out fine and then all of a sudden, I'm sleeping with the enemy!

in the beginning...

I met Mike on a very hot day, I was wearing a suit and rushing to get to a job interview which I was really nervous about. Standing on the sidewalk I flagged a cab and just as I was about to get in I dropped my portfolio. As I was gathering my strewn belongings, a gorgeous man handed me my portfolio which I said thanks, and then he got into my cab and drove off with me clutching my stuff running behind the cab screaming obscenities. Luckily I got the job and to celebrate my friend Sacha and I decided we would hit the town that night.

A few Long Island Iced Teas later and I was feeling pretty happy, that was until I looked across the bar and saw "him" the cab stealer! After all the Long Island Iced Teas (4), I was feeling very bold and brave and decided I was going to go and confront the cab thief. He was very apologetic and bought me a drink, we fell into conversation and before I knew it we were falling into bed!

I woke the next morning in the most glorious bed I'd ever slept in and couldn't believe my luck, no hangover! I looked over and saw Mike, he was so gorgeous, beautiful honey coloured skin, dark hair, toned body and cute butt! I looked around the room, and saw a mirror and caught the most horrifying look at myself, racoon eyes and bouffant hair. I quietly got out of bed, got dressed and tidied myself up, just as I was inches from the door, Mike called me back and urged me to stay, so after a weekend of sex, cigs, food and alcohol and I was hooked. Mike is a very stylish guy, amazing taste in everything, fantastic apartment and very cute to boot.

Months went by and we started spending less time together as Mike travelled a lot for his job, I didn't think anything was wrong, I just thought he was ambitious after all, how else could he afford his fantastic apartment and designer wardrobe. Then one day I found out the awful truth, Mike was married with four kids!!! They live out of town because of the kids' schooling and he commutes, so while I thought he was going away for work, he was actually sleeping with his wife!

So that was 3 weeks, 1 Day, 5hrs and one vodka and chocolate coma since our breakup. He hasn't contacted me and I sure as shit am not contacting him.

Back to the single life, I'm going shopping! ...... Jen
