Well, they say that August is the windy month but WOW it is blowing a gale out there!!! We are in the throngs of a cold front and it is getting pretty chilly outside. Good thing i'm stuck inside all day ;) hehe

Today is my 1 year anniversary at my job! Yay me!! woohoooo!!! *bounce* *jump* *skip* I seriously can't believe how fast this year has gone. So much has happened and I have changed so much too. One of the best things to happen to me though, was discovering the exciting world of blogging. I am almost certain that if I hadn't been blogging and didn't have all your support and encouragement, I wouldn't have gotten as far as I have. So a big thank you :)

I just got myself a nice, hot, skinny cuppuccino to celebrate!! Cheers!!! mmmmm coffee... mmmmmm

I heard through the grapevine that our boss is going to be doing our appraisals this month. This means that I will hopefully *holding thumbs* get a bit of a raise in my salary. I think that I will wait on the car thing until I find out if and how much more I will be coming out with each month. It might be enough to get me a much nicer, newer car :) So send positive vibes please.

I have noticed that I seem to be very short tempered lately. I don't know if I can put this down to getting older, or maybe I am just tired, or who knows. But what scares the hell out of me, and this is one of my biggest fears, is that I don't want to be a lonely old grouchy cow. I don't want to be single forever and become the crazy, snappy aunt.

I was chatting with my brothers the other day. The one who is getting married has just signed a lease on his first ever appartment, he is very excited to be moving out. They were saying to me that they don't know how I can enjoy living alone. But I really do. I love having all that space to myself and to be able to totally relax in my own home. I have done the house share thing many times before and all I ever wanted was a place of my own. Is this normal? Or do I have "crazy old lady" syndrome?

I don't have a million cats yet ;) I don't even have a gold fish, so I think I am okay so far. Just keeping my plants alive at the moment is a full time job. If I do get lonely or need some company, I either call up a friend, or I go visit my family. So I don't see myself as being alone at all. I haven't, as yet, told one child to go and brush his hair, so I think there is hope for me still. Maybe I should start going on more blind dates :)

So, if you think that my ramblings are looking a bit on the grouchy, scary, loony side, please let me know so that I can book myself in for some shock therapy before its too late! ;)

Happy Tuesday!!!
