Questions I've Been Asked Since Getting Married

We had a great wedding car hey?

I've been asked a range of questions, which all seem pretty standard in terms of what newlyweds are asked.

Here is a selection and what answers I wish I had the guts to give (disclaimer - answers not necessarily true).

Q.  How's married life treating you?
A1. Shit really, I wish I had stayed single, the only good part is the party and extra jewellery. (wishful)
A2. Oh its great we hardly stop shagging. (wishful)

Q. Are you pregnant yet?
A1. Fuck me do you think a wedding is all it takes? (wishful)
A2. No are you? (wishful) - think I'll start using this one?

Q. Are you going to change your name?
A. No. (true)

Q. Are you one of those modern women?
A. Yes, but more than that I like my name. (true)

Q. What if you have kids?
A. What if I don't? (wishful)

Q. Have you kept your wedding dress?
A. Ah yeah (true)

What weird or frustrating questions came your way after tieing the not?

Well What A Year!!

I know the year's not quite over yet, but a conversation at work yesterday got me thinking about how much I have done this year!

I know I haven't blogged very much but I think I have the following very good reasons for not doing so:

• I got engaged!
• I quit a job that I hated!
• I started two new jobs twice as was the plan!
• I finished my uni degree - yes you can call me the Professor!
• I became an aunty (by my brother) and a great-aunty (by my husband's neice)!
• Oh yeah I got married!
• I have been to Bali, Hervey Bay, Airlie Beach and Sydney (all since the 5th of October)

I hope you agree that I can cut myself a bit of slack because I have achieved these amazing things!  And as a special treat here are some pics of the most fantabulous day of my life (so far)!  Details and stories to follow in future posts!

Freak Out!! Week 2 of 8 Week Challenge.

I mentioned in my last post, that I was planning to start an 8 week challenge with a new gym - well I have and Week 1 was sensational!!

I ate well, didn't have any alcohol, I exercised and slept for the right amount of time!

Week 2 - Abso - freakin - blow out!  I ate - oh god did I eat!  I drank - oh god did I drink! I didn't keep my food diary - AT ALL - not one little note!! the only exercise I did was my half hour personal training session!! I had butter on my toast!  And I had lots of late nights which resulted in a big fat migraine on big fat Friday!

So its back to basics again for me!! Today I am going to write my menu plan, I'm going to schedule in exercise, I'm going to sleep right and I'm not having any wine in the house!!

I'm stressing about looking like a whale in my wedding dress - I need a hint of a waist - and am hoping that I won't need to buy a girdle!!

Send your weight loss vibes my way!!

PS - I love this pic of my bro and I - mucking about - unrelated to the post but wanted to share!!

Just Someone I Used to Know!

Hi Readers,

Its only a bit over ten weeks until I tie the knot with my lovely man.

But more and more lately I've been wondering about a couple of guys in my past.  Just wondering kind of stuff, I haven't thought of them for ages and only one do I kind of wish that I had left things differently.

Just wondering what they are up to, would they think my husband to be is right for me? What advice would they give me? What advice would they give him? What would they say? Should I contact the one mentioned above and let him know?  Will I bump into them one day with kids in tow and have to answer questions like "Mummy, who's that?" with "Oh its just someone I used to know"?
