Melbourne the city of Love

So it's been another beautiful day in the city of Brisbane. Just noticing the slightly cooler weather.
Been talking to my old friend Keryn from Melbourne. ahh what a lovely place Melbourne sounds. So I declared to my good friend who I shared a house with in Byron Bay in 2005 that I would visit her in Melbourne for my 36th birthday. It's a great idea. I've never been and although I'm not a fan of flying, it's only an hour and a bit flight. I think I'd like to go in January when the weather is warmer and of course the famous Australian Open is on then which is my favourite sport of all time 'Tennis'. Oh yeah I love watching the tennis and playing tennis when I'm not throwing my racquet after not getting my serve in.

Just skyped Keryn and we chatted about all things, but mainly about on-line dating, being single and where to meet the one, the great mystery of all - (finding a soul mate). You see the one thing me and Keryn have in common is being single... yes yes yes... It's great to know I'm not the only one alive that is single and looking for love in the city. Thank you Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City for being my one and only saviour and helping me through my days of singledom. 

Keryn and I both give each other comfort and say supportive things to one another like. It's alright you'll find that guy, he's around the corner or something like that. At least we don't spray those cliques~ 'when you love yourself, someone will love you' or 'when you least expect it it will happen' or the worst of all 'there's plenty of fish in the sea' arrrrgggghhhh... I don't know how many times I have heard that one.

It's hard to stay cool, calm and collected about being single when everyone is asking you 'have you found a boyfriend yet'.... Found a boyfriend?? How come I have to find one. Why can't this guy come fishing and look for me wherever he is.... :) On that note, I'm going to go watch some more sex and the city because it's my chocolate ice-cream and I love it.... Good night~

Chocolate helps

I have been sitting here all alone feeling sorry for myself and wondering what will I do now. Okay so I guess I should fill you in. I have been working as an office temp for the past decade on and off you know in boring jobs, dead end jobs, did I mention government jobs. LOL. Not really finding any love through the experience except for a couple of really hot office flings which I have to say left me out of a job in the end... and with a broken heart. boo hoo!!!!! I mean really what was I thinking anyway. Finding love at work is a no no right? Well that's where I've found the majority of my romances in life.

So where does a girl go when your all out of office romance and you'd rather go to the dentist than find your life partner on line. I'm sorry I just don't dig it. I like to meet people the natural way. The organic way. I know everyone knows someone who's met their girlfriend, wife, husband, boyfriend, pet, whatever online but it's still not going to convince me to do it. End of story ---------------------  but I will accept a dark and handsome stranger in the meat section of the grocery store on the rare occasion. Sorry hasn't happened. Just a fantasy actually but not in the meat section, probably the fruit and veg would be more suitable while picking sweet potatoes or something. ;)

Now it's got me thinking of chocolate. Sorry while writing I'm eating my favourite organic dark chocolate piece by piece and it does take the edge of no man next to me kissing my neck and telling me how beautiful I look.

Does that really happen to anyone??? women come on.. So yes I'm single, 35 and I'm not going to say I'm desperate but it wouldn't be right if I didn't tell you the truth. So I am feeling a little anxious that time is creeping towards the 40 end mark and unlike Bridget Jones who did find Mr Darcy when she was still cute and loveable and a young 32. It's not all bad news because my last lover he was umm 23... and as they keep saying 'Cougars are In'..... rowl,,, grrr and all that. I wonder if there are other 35 year old women like me around, cause it just seems to look like they're all married, in relationships, gay or in the nunnery. ! Just saying....
