An update on the subject of garbage

I would say my friends, that 1 out of 3 easy steps to get your ex out of your life has been successful.

How successful - not very... I got the delivery of goods purchased today and one of the pairs of sunglasses he bought I REALLY REALLY like! And the one that I did buy.... hmmm not so good... they don't suit me at all!

So, decision making time:

1. Don't call him and keep them all (6 pairs)

2. Give him my pair and take the one I like and not tell him

3. Ask him for a swap even though I have been a bit of a bitch to him

Hmmmm - well, I don't know, I am leaning towards 3 as I feel bad really easily and too easily.

Stay tuned.

Yours Truly,

Taking out the garbage

I'd like to think that taking out the garbage is easy but it's not.  I am referring to my ex who decided to break up with reasons unknown, rather he just said "I don't know, I'm just over it".

So, anyway he has recently been calling me quite a bit and we have been catching up for dinners and walks just about every week or so.  We also share a mutual interest in online shopping and I gave him authority to bid on ebay using my account as he had been barred with a particular store.  But then I started to think that this could end up being a frequent thing, and with nothing to be achieved at the end of it except for him being able to score designer label/high fashion items at an awesome price... it had to stop.

After a DM session at 2am after two bottles of sparkling and a quick dance at a singles event with my friend Janey, this morning I sent him a text asking him to stop.  Even before my night out, I knew what I had to do, and that is to cut ties and clean this part of my life up! - Taking out the garbage.

Without so much of a text back, he just deleted everything he was watching and has not picked up my call to him.  Of course, now I feel guilty, and feel that perhaps I have been too harsh though am feeling heartbroken yet again, the feeling of angst adding to my already gloomy morning at work.  But this has happened before, and I am definitely not going to be the friend he wants me to be, so I need a plan - well not so much of a plan, but I need to follow three easy steps.

Next steps....
1. Sit down with him when I give him the remaining ebay purchases and let him know how I feel
2. Delete all friends associated with him on Facebook
3. Move on with my life

Not rocket science I know, and one that everyone I ask would probably tell me to do - Dummies Guide to Getting Rid of Your Ex.
By tomorrow, hopefully the housework has been done on that part of my life as I have definitely realised that if the bad smell 'hangs around' it always gets worse.

Yours Truly,
Miss A.

Cherry Popped

I have been thinking about doing this for awhile now, starting up my own blog, and after following a few, reading a few, and seeing how successful so many can be if they provide something of interest, I hope to do the same.

So I have decided on my three favourite things - Travelling, Eating and Trashy TV.

In terms of travel, I love it all, and I wish I started this last year when I made my third trip back to Europe.  Tossing the coin into the fountain in Rome did bring me back there again, much older and much more in a position and head space to appreciate it.

With food, I would say that I am a pretty big foodie, and when finances allow, and even when it doesn't, I love to get together with fellow foodie friends to enjoy dining out, cheap and cheerful or fine dining, I love it all.

And finally, trashy tv shows.  I love all things Gossip Girl, cry at too many episodes of Glee, and have recently discovered How to Make it in America - this new tv show I am now watching thanks to my friend Ness, who understands my obsession with the big apple.

So it begins, trying my hand at blogging, just for fun and seeing how it goes.. very excited indeed.

One thing definitely coming up, is the countdown to my trip to Africa, so perhaps that will include a load of interesting pre-Africa posts.

Until then, perhaps tomorrow, looking forward to getting my fingers into blog post two.

Yours Truly,

Miss A.
