Her name is Cranky. Middle name Bitch.

Oh, I am feeling crap today. I've actually had a headache that's lasted for 3 days, I've taken more painkillers than Britney Spears after a custody hearing. Nothing seems to work. I blame this detox diet I'm on.

I'm going through withdrawals LOL. My body is freaking out over the lack of caffeine, sugar and alcohol, meat, dairy and basically anything resembling cake. It seems to be effecting me (affecting me? grammar gurus please help - I know affect is the verb and effect is the noun but can't remember when to use which LOL) more than my boyfriend. He seems fine. No withdrawals. Nothing. Of course, that makes me even crankier and bitchier, because if I have to suffer these horrendous headaches then I'm going to bitch and moan about them to him so HE feels like he has one LOL.

I'm also cranky because work is really busy, I've had to cover a colleagues absense for three weeks on top of my own work. Plus a big event this weekend means I'm out of the office for 5 days and the work is piling up. Argh. I wish I wasn't so conscientous and reliable. I'd love to be able to just blow off my work LOL.

I've got lots of stuff whizzing around my head at the moment, I can't seem to switch off. Even when I talk/rant to friends and the boyfriend about it, I still can't turn the brain down.

I think I'm lacking the romance gene. Which is weird, I love a good romantic book and quite like a romantic movie, but romance in real life seems to leave me cold. I guess I'm too cynical. One of the girls at work got engaged over the weekend, and while I was happy for her, when she was explaining how her fiance proposed, I didn't sigh and go all dopey and talk about how romantic it was like all the others in the office did. I thought the way he proposed was a bit over the top. But hey, it was their moment, so whatever floats your boat. I've actually been proposed to three times. Okay one didn't count because it was my friends 4 year old son LOL. One even came with a lovely diamond ring. Unfortunately, the ring and proposal came from a man, who even though I'd been with for 5 years, was proposing as an ultimatum and trying to save what had become a toxic relationship. The other proposal was drunken 3am rambling, which I promptly ignored LOL.

My boyfriend is back from Sydney, which is great. I'd made a drunken phone call to him while he was in Sydney (v embarrassing LOL) and apparently he'd told me that he'd be home late on Saturday. Well, obviously I was drunk so didn't remember and so had the crap scared out of me at about 12.30pm on Saturday when I got home from a friends house and found a strange man in my bed! (I didn't have my contacts in LOL).

I think my eye colour has changed. Is that normal? I had hazel eyes, as a kid they were really amber/hazel but the other day I noticed they golden flecks have all but gone and left me with green eyes. Weird. I like the green, but all my life I've had sort of hazel eyes so now it's just a tad odd.

I've got this incredible craving for cake. I want a dark, moist and scrummy chocolate cake smothered in rich, smooth butter icing. I really want it. I can't stop thinking about it and I know I'm going to obsess about it until I can have one. Which won't be for a week because the BF and I have started this detox. No wheat, dairy, meat (including chicken and fish), no booze, no starchy stuff like pasta and potatoes. You eat quite a bit of food, which is good. Though I have to have lots of healthy snacks in the house because the BF doesn't think all the rabbit food will fil him up. Obviously cake is not allowed. I am going to be jonesing for this bloody cake for a week, I just know it!

I got an invitation to a party today. An actual paper invite, sent in the mail. Like how rare is that? I hardly get personal letters in the post these days LOL.

Good friends of mine are having a party at Easter, it's a themed costume party *groan*, the theme is Best of British. Now I'm not a really a dress up/costume party kinda girl, but I've been thinking that the BF and I could go as a well-known British couple.

So far, I've come up with:

Posh and Becks

Alice and Hugo (The Vicar of Dibley)

Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett (The Two Ronnies)

Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil

Lou and Andy (I'd be Andy!) from Little Britain

Diana and Charles (the engagement years)

Angie and Den (from Eastenders)

Lady Penelope and Parker (Thunderbirds)


Hmm, who else? Will have to keep thinking about this LOL. If I have to wear a costume then I want it to be a clever and cool one.

So, tomorrow is Valentines Day. I'm not really a huge VD fan (I've blogged about it here, and here), and this year I've decided to have a boozy lunch (well, more lunch than booze, considering I actually have to work tomorrow LOL) with some single friends. We're calling it SAD - Singles Awareness Day LOL.

Have been in text contact with the BF in Sydney. The idiot wants to go surfing, he's only just started to come right after an ACL injury and now he wants to jeopardise that? Bloody moron. Will have no sympathy if he wrecks his knee again!

I might have some sympathy if he were to say... drop into Mecca Cosmetica (there's one in Bondi if he decides to head there to go surfing) to pick up some Nars make up, Kiehl's lip balm and Bumble & Bumble hair products (brands I can't get here in Wellington and I'm still trying to rebuild my lost make up bag). Though the likelihood of him going in there and purchasing said products would be quite small LOL. I don't get it. It's not like the stuff is for him LOL. I'm sure the sales assistants would know that.

I was on holiday last week, a few friends, me and my man spent the week at a house on the beach. It was supposed to be a relaxing, fun and chilled out time and for about 65% of the time, it was. The rest of the time it was loud, frustrating and stressful. Needless to say I've come back to work feeling like I need another holiday LOL.

The BF is in Sydney this week - so it's bliss being at home, alone. I love it! I get to watch TV without being mocked for my programme choices. Chicken salad is considered dinner and I can hog the whole bed. I didn't actually realise he would be away this week, he failed to mention at all he'd be in Sydney. Well actually, that's not true. He may have mentioned it and I may have not listened LOL. I really need to work on my listening skills LOL.

Noticed something different? Yeah, I thought a new blog template was in order. I can't seem to just stick to one style. I'm flighty!
