The Night Before...
It took me a while to twig that the reason I'm being a moody cow is because of good 'ole PMT. Now that I realise, I already feel a lot more reasonable. Especially about The Contender.
I must stress that I don't expect TC to run out and shout from the roof tops that he's with me. Some people know that we've been seeing each other and that's fine. I have been very quick to point out to any of the people that try to turn us into a big deal that, we've got a good thing going on but that we aren't boyfriend and girlfriend. The problem with me is that I think ahead and I feel that TC has a long relationship behind him and probably isn't going to go out of his way to say that he's met someone else for quite a while. Only time will tell whether that 'quite a while' is OK with me, but what I do know is that after all that was me and MBF, there is a part of me that craves normality like you wouldn't believe. I was crackers over MBF and whatever he said he felt for me, he was with someone else. It would be nice to be with someone who was able to be with me without making me a part of his soap-opera stint that he's trying to draw to a close. However, as I'm writing this I'm thinking that I need to stay off the 'relationship crack' because I am thinking way too much. I already I feel miles better now, and a bit silly for thinking so much so I guess it was good to write down my thoughts....
What I was also reminded of by Wyn is that I am in a lovely stage of newness and I'm going to enjoy it, albeit when I get back from the States. I'm grinning now as I remember a funny conversation about my penchant for clothes and shoes. I had made the feeble excuse of having to buy more clothes as I had put on a little weight. Next thing TC says 'Yeah, but surely you didn't put weight on your feet?' and just as I was about to try to justify the shoe habit, I thought of my 70/80 pairs and looked at his cheeky face. I love the fact that he gets me and doesn't think I'm mad as a brush!
I had a moment earlier this evening when I realised the downside of being single:
I was taking a big sip of my herbal tea after eating a cheeky chocolate digestive biscuit or two, when an air pocket formed in my throat just before I swallowed and I found myself whooping and choking. I couldn't breathe for a few seconds and then started to cough furiously, flailing around and trying to balance my laptop. I'm ok now but jaysus, what the f*ck will I do if I ever keel over and pass out on my own? Oooh, scary bleedin thought!
So I have to go now because I have to get some sleep before I head off to Washington. I have to get up at about 4am and I do not do very early mornings. There aren't any tubes which means I'll have to get a taxi to the station and get the Heathrow Express and already I feel like weeping at the thought of dragging myself to the airport in the darkness. However.........how f*cking brilliant is it that I've got a free flight, superb exchange rate, and the shops await me. Did I say shops? I mean sights and scenery, and maybe a little jaunt into Victoria Secrets........ and every shop I can get to in a four day period........
I know there is an entertainment factor with my lists, so for good measure I have included my list of what I have packed for this trip. I swear this is me packing light. Seriously. How much clothes can one woman need when she's only going away for a few days? A lot if you're NML. Here's a golden rule for packing from NML: Must pack 2 pairs of knickers and bras for each day that you're away, plus 1 or 2 spare. Don't ask me why, that's just how it is. Hence, for this trip, I should be packing 8 pairs of knickers and bras .
1 pair of trainers/sneakers
1 pair of hot pink suede strappy heels with ties to go around the ankles
9 bras, 10 pairs of knickers (I have an extra pair in my carry on in case my suitcase goes awol)
3 handbags (1 large one to carry on, 1 small evening, 1 day bag)
3 pyjama sets (shorts and tops)
2 cardigans
1 jacket
2 pairs of combats
2 pairs of jeans plus the pair I plan to wear
2 skirts
9 tops for night and day wear
1 pair of Birkenstocks
I daren't tell you all the contents of the carry on but lets just say that there's an iPod, digi camera, normal camera, 3 books, sunglasses, deoderant, medication....and don't forget the laptop... oh and 24 series 3 to watch in case I hate the film and can't sleep, and The Sims University to play if I can't sleep and can't focus on 24. Do I pack a lot? Don't answer!
I've just had a female friend bend the ear off me about a situation that happened 6 weeks ago for an hour. Why can't women let go of old sh*t? It's just like the age old question, why do men always think they have to be and are right?
The next time ya'll hear from me, I'll be in Washington where I'll most definitely be posting from. Woo hoo! Sh*t I'm tired!

i missed where in your posts you said how long you'll be gone but from the list, you look read for over a week away! =D
i was pretty nervous about getting a nasty flu this winter because there would be no one (no family, no roomates, no nobody) to baby me and make sure i hadn't died in my sleep. i'm also scared of chopping off my finger while preparing veggies alone.
next week, my theme is single-living. stay tuned :)
I don't feel so bad about how I pack now, lol. I have a feeling that you'll still be packing heavy when you get as old as I am now. Have a wonderful trip.
I'm unpacking at this moment, and I hate it! I'd rather blog and read all about the fun you're about to have. :)
Have a safe trip, k.

Have a great time NML, Like I have to say that!
I have this vision of you strutting down the street in your FMB's, turning heads while stayin' alive plays in the background.
Don't ask me where that came from but after reading your entry, that's the vision I had.
Enjoy yourself....yeah, like you're not gonna...
Are you there yet? :)
Wyn - {looks down feeling ashamed} I leave early sunday morning which means I have 3 full days here! Whoops! I look forward to the posts on single living x
Broom - I tried so hard but I need everything, you know, just in case.....
DD - Hello stranger! Don't be too sad and luxuriate in the memories. I am alive and well! :-)
DIM - Combats are still cool over here in the UK. Am i going to look out of place? They aren't army ones. They are very cool cream/beige that were quite expensive. Look at me making my excuses!
Bedshaped - You keep that image in your head, although with the sunshine it looks like I'll be going for the summer look. Of course I'll enjoy myself. Do bears sh*t in the woods!? ;-)
DD - I'm here, I'm here!
