Stuff and nonsense

There are only so many times you can apologise for not updating a blog. I try to keep my hand in with the whole LoudTwitter thing, but am beginning to think I should switch it off. It's a bit the blogging equivalent of Always On My Mind - gee, sorry I neglected you and treated you badly; you should know I was thinking about you which makes it all okay, right?

And I have been thinking about Vox, and this blog has a very special place in my heart. I don't necessarily want these bits of my life on my professional blog, and here is where the whole history of my marriage is written! I love that about it. I just don't necessarily have the time or inclination to update about everything at the same time, so I tend to give priority to work-related stuff which is time-sensitive. Which is a shame, because I really like the community here.

Anyway, stuff that has happened:

I'm now into the last year of my 20s, thanks to my birthday last week. Ashley is also celebrating not being 35 for another year, and we've had some lovely events. I had my hair all curled and teased for a Greek Independence Day Ball which would have been great if I hadn't started coming down with a cold just as we turned up! Ash has some pictures somewhere I will add later - with the 50s inspired dress, it really did look rather cool.

He gave me a lovely canvas depicting goldfish, and I gave him a shopping trip with me as he'd like some new clothes. Our friend Dan gave us a Wii Fit which pronounced that I had the body of a 40 year old, needed to lose weight and probably fell down a lot ("...that girl was always falling again and again..."). Whoops.

The kittens are as delightful as ever, too. Apart from the sniffling and the fact that my manager is away (leaving me as the entire department) all is well!

So, how have you been?
