My job involves me working from mid afternoon until when ever we finish. I do this job because my boss asked me to. Before I was happily a day manager.
Now I am cranky, tired to the bone, constantly critisised, missing my husband B who I only see one and a half days a week, stressed out and unappreciated for the effort I put in.
You've gotta wonder, is it worth it? For everything I do and am going through I get paid 2000 more a year than when I was on days, and I look like shit.

Ang and Brad's new baby pics
I saw (everywhere) on line today the first pics released of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolies twin babies. They are quite cute....does anyone else think they look like Brad, but with Angelina's lips??
I regret ...Part one
For a long time my best friend in the world was M. We were so close, I called her mum "mum" and M called my parents "mum and dad". Through high school, first jobs and the discovery of boys we were (mostly) inseperable.As we got older of course we had our tiffs and issues but that didn't do anything to weaken our bond as best friends. Then as we embraced adulthood, of course there was distict changes in our friendship. Real life tends to get in the way. M met a guy who proposed very quickly ( the 3rd person to propose to her, the first she seemed to seriously consider as a life partner.) They got engaged, got married and eventually moved away to another state.This was a turning point in our friendship. If you ask most married people who is more important- spouse or friend I'm sure most people would choose spouse. M and her husband G lived interstate from where home was to me and during the year or so they were away we barely spoke. We tried to keep in touch by email and messenger but it wasn't the same. So I guess lack of dedication led to us drifting further away from each other as friends.M and G's marraige didn't work out, and so she moved home.
I love Movies!!
I am a huge fan of movies. I love nothing more than curling up on my super comfy couch with a blanket, some snacks, and a new dvd (or an old favourite!) to watch.
Thats why I was thrilled to find my local dvd rental store has a program where for a membership fee you can have unlimited and untimed DVD rentals!! This is brilliant for me as I have a goldfish memory when it comes to remembering due dates.
For my own amusement, I am going to keep a running list of what movies / DVD's we have hired so I can remember what we loved and what we loathed. If it is blue we loved it, if it is green we HATED it. If I am on the fence about it, i will leave it until I decide on the DVD's fate.
Let me know what you feel about any of my choices. Lets chat! Who knows, maybe you'll change my mind!

Women Jokes
If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at!! Here are some funny jokes about women I read today.
Eleven people were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest. Ten were female, one was a male. As a group they decided that one of the party should let go. If that didn't happen the rope would break and everyone would perish. For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered. Finally the male gave a truly touching speech saying he would sacrifice himself to save the lives of the others. The females applauded.
Q. Why haven't they sent any women to the moon? A. Because it doesn't need cleaning yet.

Women think all beer is the same.
If a man goes on a seven-day trip, he'll pack five days worth of clothes and will wear some things twice; if a woman goes on a seven-day trip she'll pack 21 outfits because she doesn't know what she'll feel like wearing each day.
Women are never wrong. Apologizing is the man's responsibility, 'It's there in the Bible'. Hmmm, who was it that gave Adam the apple?

The most embarrassing thing for women is to find another woman wearing the same dress at a formal party. You don't hear men say, 'Oh-my-GOD, there's another man wearing a black tux, get me out of here!'
A man is walking down a beach, and accidentally kicks a bottle out of the sand. He opens the bottle, and a genie appears. The genie said, "I am so grateful to get out of that bottle that I will grant you one wish. I can only grant one." The man thought for a while and finally said, "I have always wanted to go to Hawaii. I've never been able to go because airplanes are much too frightening for me and boats make me seasick. So I wish for a road to be built from here to Hawaii." The genie thought for a few minutes and said, "No, I can't do it. Imagine all the work involved. All the piling to hold up the highway needed and all the pavement. Ask for something else." "Well," the man said. "I would like to be able to understand women. What makes them laugh and cry, why are they temperamental, why are they so difficult to get along with. Basically, what makes them tick." The genie considered this for a couple of minutes and said, "So, do you want that road two lanes or four?"
One bright, beautiful Sabbath morning everyone in the tiny Midwestern town got up early and went to the local church. Before the services started the towns people were sitting in their pews when suddenly Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the exit, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from the evil incarnate. Soon everyone evacuated from the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew. He was not moving and seemed oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.
Now, this confused and irritated the Devil a little bit, so he walked up to the man and said, "Don't you know who I am?" "Yep, sure do," replied the elderly gentleman. Satan asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?" "Nope, sure ain't ," the gentleman replied. Satan, a little more perturbed at this, asked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?" The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years."
In a transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning. One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die!" she wails. Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on Earth to be memorable! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN??" For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril, and they all stare, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then, a man stands up in the rear of the plane. "I can make you feel like a woman," he says. He's gorgeous. Tall, built, with black hair and jet black eyes, he starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time. No one moves. The woman is breathing heavily in anticipation as the stranger approaches. He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest as he reaches her, and extends the arm holding his shirt to the trembling woman, and whispers, "Here. Iron this."
This blonde went on a tour of an alligator swamp and then she decided to go buy some original alligator skin boots. She went to every store but they were all to expensive. She asked the assistant if there were any cheaper ones but he said no. So she said," I'll just go make my own" Later that day the store assitant was driving down the road, when he saw the blonde. She was up to her waist in the swamp wrestling with a 9 ft alligator. He was amazed. She dragged the alligator out of the water, flipped him over by the other 3 alligators and screamed,"This ones not wearing any boots either".
How many men does it take to open a can of beer? None. It should be open when the woman gives it to you.

Josh was helping Sally clean out the trunk of her car. Inside, he noticed a bag labeled "Emergency Repair Kit." Looking at it a little closer, he noticed a stick of dynamite inside.

Sally replied, "In case I have a flat and need to blow up one of my tires."
Sarah was reading a newspaper, while her husband was engrossed in a magazine. Suddenly, she burst out laughing. "Listen to this," she said.

Teasing him, Sarah said, "Would you swap me for a season ticket?" "Absolutely not," he said. "How sweet," Sarah said. "Tell me why not." "Season's more than half over," he said.
