Dare2Diva is Grateful

What a fabulous, albeit strange, Saturday. It started with me waking up at 5am. What is with that? I mainly woke up because I was having a horrible dream. I was hysterical, and not in a funny way, in my dream because my ex's (its) family was trying to get hold of me. They finally did to tell me that he died. Now, not surprisingly, I wasn't upset at all that he was dead, in fact, I was delighted because it meant that his pathetic existence wasn't taking up valuable space or oxygen. I was upset because I didn't feel upset about it and his family were going ballistic at me. They were so incredibly hurtful and said that I ruined his life and it was my fault. I did try to explain that he checked out of the relationship 3 yrs before I broke it off because I saw the emails dating to back then with prostitutes and other women that he was seeing, but he was just hanging around because he thought he might get some money. They didn't believe me so I got really upset. I found t

Wow. What a Friday. I had a brilliant day today but am I ever glad that this week is over. We start every Friday off with a team (floor) meeting. I love a meeting that is filled with a laugh or a few, info other than work, some work stuff and that isn't run by the big wigs. The meetings are run by the ordinary folk and the big wigs take the ordinary folk persona. It is great. I had a very productive meeting today and was thanked for getting things sorted out so quickly. I have already the knowledge of a 'green belt' in our procurement system and yet there are people that have been using the system for 18mths who aren't there yet. As a result, I didn't require training today after completing the tasks in front of the gorgeous young Nordic boy running the one on one training. I a sure I could train him one on one but that is another story. I went on a really long walk because my new GoFit shoes are so comfy. They make me feel like I am walking on a trampoline and I fe

I spoke to BRUCE! One of my most favourite people in the world. I haven't spoken to him for 6mths due to my own issues, however, back on track and I can't wait to catch up with him. Universe 1) I am grateful I was able to go to work today. I actually missed the place and the people. 2) I am grateful for the warm reception I received when I arrived. It is so nice to feel wanted. 3) I am grateful I was able to help out the stress head whinger today. She 'loves me' and thinks I am a genius! 4) I am grateful that I was able to stay back and get a lot of admin done today. 5) I am grateful that I got to speak with Bruce. It has made my week for sure! Blessings

We were dismissed from Jury Duty. The defense counsel made what I think was a deliberate fuck up in his opening address and I questioned something. Now, whether the judge actually got my note I am not sure but the thing that got us dismissed was what I was questioning. Anyway, it was quite disappointing in a way. I wanted to put the bastard behind bars, but it will be somebody else's call now. I will also miss the team even though we had only known each other for a day. Apart from the 2 annoying ones, they are such an amazing, fabulous group of people. great thing about it was that the day was beautiful, we got let out at around 11, and that meant I could do my shopping etc today instead of after work tomorrow. I had such a wonderful drive in the warm sunshine and a great walk. Just glorious. Universe 1) I am grateful that I was discharged from jury duty today. Today was going to be a really tough day emotionally, so not having to go through that is a blessing. I am so sorry for

Jury duty is supposed to be a rewarding responsibility. The fact that I don't have to leave so early, the fact that I don't get hassled by phone calls, and the fact that I get let out at 4 is rewarding. I got called to serve and was picked to be on the 12 person panel out of around 60 people. I have met some great people today though, so that is a good thing. The case, which I can't talk about, is a tough one so far and I have another 3 days of it at least. There are 2 of the dumbest and most annoying women on this planet and they shouldn't have the privileged of being in the same room as me breathing the same air but I can't pick and chose my fellow jurors. Universe 1) I am grateful that you are shining your light on me at the moment. Everything seems to be going really well. I know I have complained about my health for the past 8 or so weeks but I am not dead so the fact that I am strong enough to cope with the issues I have had, tells me that this isn't a

Oh my. I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I got around 10hrs sleep but I needed more. Now by the end of a really great day, I am quite hyperactive and not wanting to go to bed. I have had just a great day. I was starting to feel quite overwhelmed at work with everyone wanting me to do urgent things all at once but I just stopped myself, went on my lunch break, and came back and told Mr Frenchman that I could only do so much and be prepared for some emails or phone calls and he said, take it easy and do what you can. Everything can wait. What an awesome response. I have had some beautiful comments from people on facebook about a snap shot I took post photo shoot. I had taken my hair out which was a teased and sprayed mess, and the false eyelashes were off and it was only a 'lovo' shot but it wasn't bad, I will admit. The point to that is that it is so nice to get lovely comments about it. I wasn't expecting them at all. I actually put the pic up mai

Who said the life of a super model is easy? I had another shoot, this one was a wedding shoot, for www.styleandsubstance.com and I have had a brilliant time. I have been awake since 2am (body clock seems to wake me 2hrs before I need to, which is annoying) and I started in a makeup chair, outside, in winter, 2degrees Celsius, at 5:30am. It turned out to be a beautiful sunny day and I had a blast. Sure the early starts, freezing ones arse off, and standing around trying to look sexy, subdued and yet excited for hours at a time aren't the most glamourous or fun parts, but the make up, hair, and the beautiful clothing work well at making up for it. The best, and most wonderful part, is working with such amazing people. The team is so beautiful, inside and out, and I feel incredibly blessed to have this gang in my life. Universe 1) I am grateful that although I woke up 2hrs too early, I actually stayed awake which meant I didn't sleep in. 2) I am grateful that you were smiling
