Happy Friday's

Ok, quick sneaky post to publish before I duck off for a work presentation for the afternoon (who thought that would be a good idea for a Friday arvo!?!)...

My watch, my Triwa which I trekked all over London with a girlfriend to find, I love it. It's brightness brightens my day, and it never fails to elicit compliments from strangers - today a salesman by the name of Prince (was dying to ask him...) thought it looked 'Fabulous darlink'. Here it is teamed with my evil eye bracelets, a purchase on a day when I was feeling particularly targetted, you probably can't see, but the eye has fallen off the smaller bracelet meaning it has protected me from evil (yay me!).

So, have a beautiful weekend and may compliments come flying your way and deflect the badness out there.

Rainy days and waiting

My family is huge, well, my immediate family there's 6 of us, and then the extended family just seems to go on and on. And as we get older we have in-laws and babies being thrown into the mix. It makes for wonderful noisy times. And for a lot of waiting! I have 2 cousins, one also happens to be one of my closest friends, waiting to have babies, actually, sorry, make that 3 cousins. But two of them are due any day now. I'm hovering over my phone waiting for the text message to come through. Its agony, this waiting game!
So to R & C, good luck girlies, I am sending all of my love and positive energy your way and hope that everything goes well. And I can't wait to meet the babes.

Me

Me, I'm shy, online and in 'real' life. Always have been, probably always will be. This means that people have called me; snobbish, standoffish, superior, rude, arrogant, quiet, shy and thoughtful (depending on how generous people feel at the time). Until they take a few minutes to talk to me, well, hopefully they still find me thoughtful and I am definitely quiet. I'm an introvert, I've completed Myers Briggs surveys and the like, and they all say I'm introverted and considered in my actions. I like to sit back and listen to others and form my opinions or mold my opinions. (BTW, introverted in this context means drawing your energy from within rather than from external sources, which means if I'm down, then its up to me to bring myself up, others 'upness' doesn't really help me)
I am surrounded by extroverts. My closest friends are always extroverts. I love extroverts. These are the people who are putting themselves out there completely and testing the waters for me. I see they are 'safe' and then I continue walking/running/skipping after them. 
So in honour of my extroverted friends, I'm going to put myself out there a teeny tiny bit and say hello to some of the bloggers I love to visit every day. Just to introduce myself and so that I don't seem snobbish, rude or ungrateful. 
I'm really amazed that people can put themselves 'out there' to the world. I love it, I find it very liberating and thank you to those people, they make my days so much more enjoyable.
