The Eternal Optimist

I just can't help it. Even when things look bleak, I always find a silver lining. Some of my more pessimistic friends get infuriated with this quality, but it's one of my favourite things. A situation that looks dreadful to one person might look not so bad to me, and a situation that seems alright is probably great in my book!

Now don't get me wrong, I do still like to have a little whinge now and then. But when it comes down to it, I know how lucky I am and how great my life is. And I'm so thankful :-)

Will Power

I'm well chuffed today; my grandma sent me a skirt she's made. Now don't snigger - there's no wooly reindeer jumpers. She's a cool grandma. It's kind of a vintage nautical print, and nobody else has got one! :-)

My diet is going super well this week, I've been so good. Vegetable soup for lunch today. I have also been well behaved in the spending department (excluding that ASOS order); I haven't been out since Saturday, no week day drinking for me. Check out my will power!

Stumped

I'm kinda stumped on these get rich quick schemes. Drawing up blanks.

Was planning to trot along to Brighton's Gay Pride Parade at the weekend but the forecast is for heavy rain - boo! I don't even own an umbrella since the last one blew inside out and snapped. Perhaps I shall stick around London town. save the train fare.

God I want a snog. And a cuddle. Humph.

Save

As if dieting isn't enough effort, I now have another goal; save £400 by September. A girlfriend and I are planning a last minute booking, somewhere hot for a week. I have a bad habit of spending my overdraft, so when payday comes I'm only taken back up to zero. Ooops...

I counted my dresses this morning and I have 60, plus that many pairs of shoes, so I think I should stop shopping for a while, that will help. Oh, it hurts already! Also, packed lunches are a double whammy - money saving and a chance to be healthy. And last but not least... ebay! Goodbye junk :-)

Out

Had such a great time this weekend! Love my girls, and all my gay boys. Drank lot of vodkas, danced like a diva and walked home in the morning light, high heels slung over my shoulder. Don't worry, I kept an eye out for broken glass.

When will I learn to control my will power whilst under the influence? There's this lush take away in Hoxton that I always succumb to when I'm trashed - cheese & bacon burger, toasted bun. Bad Kat! Restarting diet today (good old Mondays).

Gory details

I'm out on the town tonight with my girls, will probably be seeing the girl I mentioned in my last post. I wonder if it's possible to extract all the gory details without causing offence? I'm morbidly curious...

She's an escort!

Wooooah, I just found out that a girl I know is working as a London escort! She's kind of a friend of a friend, but I've met her loads of times and never would've guessed. She's pretty and Polish, but she usually seems kind of shy. I can't imagine it. So that's how she afforded that Louis Vuitton handbag...

Blanks

Oh dear. I've been having more memory black outs recently when I get drunk; I used to be ok, but lately I have big gaps missing from my night. I mean big ones, like I can only remember 1 hour out of 4. That can't be good? I might be concerned that I'd had my drink spiked if it had only been once, but the occurence is becoming more and more regular...

Fun

Ah, that was fun. Two outspoken girls and two raging homosexuals makes for very interesting dinner talk! The topics were graphic bordering on gruesome - some of the specifics I really could've done without hearing! Actually, I feel a little queasy just thinking about it...

But the food was good, the wine was great and the company was unbeatable - love those guys!

Make time for your friends people, it's so worth it x

PJs

Pajama party tonight, yeeeeah! Wine, food, good friends and good times x

Bruno

Hmmmm, wasn't sure what to make of Bruno. I did laugh out loud at some parts; sometimes from shock, sometimes at the oh so true cliches about gay men. I have quite a few gay friends, and some of the mannerisms are spot on! But others are a bit far fetched...

I just drank a glass of water and missed my mouth, pouring most of it down my cleavage. Whoops.

House Party

What an awesome night last night. The falling down the stairs (again) wasn't so awesome, but my non-mixing of alcohol has successfully reduced my hangover substantially! Everyone looked fabulous, some gorgeous dresses about. Shame there wasn't that many gorgeous men but you can't win them all.

I woke up today with an enormous bruise on my butt - not the best look. But one that I sport far too often...

I've ordered 'Gormenghast' on DVD, remember it being an amazing drama, just magical. I recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of dark fairytale.

Off for a nap, methinks x

Temptations

Why is there so much naughty food around to tempt me? I'm trying to be good, and I only want to lose 10 lousy pounds, but everytime I drop a couple I slip up and binge on something naughty. Damn Brick Lane, damn Cadburys and damn Haagen Daaz. Hooray for cucumber and carrotts.

I shouldn't be going to Tranny Shack mid week, I'm about to fall asleep at my desk. Oopsie.

Silly Body

I really could've done with some sleep last night, you'd think my body would know that. But nooo, I had to lie awake raking over stupid stuff in my head. Past things that I can't change, that only upset me to think about.

Feeling grotty today. I curled my hair, then got rained on. Not a great start to the day. I think I need to escape to a nice hot country, somewhere far away from city stress. Don't get me wrong, I do love London. But I'm knackered!

Zzzzz.....

Sleep Deprived

That weekend went too fast! I drank far too much (no surprises there) and didn't get nearly enough sleep. I have 4 new fabulous dresses, have managed to wear 2 of them so far. I feel so blessed that I can pull off canary yellow!

Back at work today but sooo don't want to be here. I need another weekend to recover from this one! I'm recovering by consuming lots of vitamin C. Eat your oranges.

Yippeeeeeee!

This week has gone really fast, brilliant stuff. I may have fallen off the wagon last night and eaten 2 cookies, but I think a jog should balance that out. Planning a night out with Kieran and Lucy, should be fantabulous. No idea what to wear yet...

Super Thursdays

I've always liked Thursdays. Far away from Monday, still with the whole weekend to look forward to.

Finding it hard to get any work done at the moment as I am so engrossed in the Twilight books - I'm on the fourth one now. Sat there reading til 1am last night with my mouth hanging open! Riveting stuff.

Enough babbling for now, laters x x

On My Way

Hurrah, I've only been dieting 2 days and I've already lost 2lbs! Must keep it up, get a buff body then bag myself a millionaire. That's my game plan!

Diet

Oh, I started a diet yesterday and I'm HUNGRY! I haven't been starving myself, just majorly cut down and only eating healthy stuff. But I hate it, I miss biscuits! I only have 10lbs to lose so it shouldn't be too traumatic... Just don't mention cake within my earshot. ALRIGHT?!

Fickle

I have a few questions.

1. Why is 'The Grand Old Duke of York' stuck in my head?

2. Will England ever see a week straight with no rain during the summer?

3. Why are women so fickle?

You might be scratching your head at that last one, as I am indeed a woman. But I even find myself annoying! I keep going on one or two dates with perfectly nice guys, and then I get bored and can't be bothered to see them again. But the guys I really do like are the ones I can't have, who already have girlfriends or live abroad.

Damn my fickleness!

Weekend, Yeah Baby

I just love weekends. As a teenager I used to waitress every weekend, so Saturdays were synonymous with work. But not anymore! Now that I'm a city girl, I slog away during the week and play HARD at the weekend. Fun fun fun.

Meeting a big group of friends tonight so I suspect a large volume of vodka will be consumed, and someone will most likely flash their pants. That's just the way it goes.

Hope you have as much fun as me...

Snogging

He was a gooood kisser. I must stop writing repeated vowels in the middle of words, it could become boooooring very quickly. I shall stop now.

Anyway, it seemed like ages since I had a good snog so I'm quite chuffed.

By the way, any couples interested in going to another swingers party? It's a bit of a long shot on my barely read blog, but you never know who's perusing the inter web!
