a ball with fun. a ball with class. a ball to let you hair down. i survived the speeches, the auction, the food, and my beautiful girlfriend being swept off her feet all night and got home safely having won a dinner out in one of the raffles. woot woot.
have had a tough week (month) not knowing what is going on in my personal relationship. one day things look OK and the next it's all gone pair shaped. friday nite the straw that broke the camels back happened. and there was an atomic reaction amongst my group of friends. i sinned and wrote on a persons facebook fan wall when I shouldnt have and various other things happened that I wont go into here - but lets just say it got messy. i got three hours sleep.
my close friends have been there for me for this past month whilst all this has been going on. it's been hard. i havent done anything like this before AND im learning a lot (more) about myself and what I will tolerate (and what I wont) but i'm human and i have a history and i have "ways". it's what makes me - and it's what makes me unique. i can only apologise for so many things... my best friends accept me unconditionally and with no strings attached.
i do know for example that people have triggers. i have an EXCEPTIONALLY BAD trigger when a person uses the "C" word. in fact - on Melbourne Cup day a friend discovered how bad when i tipped a glass of wine over his face (it's OK, he tipped on back).
I also have discovered a trigger for when I think a person is cheating on me. I dont react well. so, knowing this - what do I/can I do to help myself? fix myself? stop myself being "triggered?. well, it's a good question.
what seemed like an exceptionally poor form scenario ended up being far more innocent than intended. but then the question begs, why not be upfront and let me know? and that's where i have the problem and the trigger and things go pear shaped.
maybe someone would like to counsel me who is an expert? from what ive sen though, even experts dont get it right. in fact they get it very very wrong. so, i guess we are all human. what do you think? xc

Keep SA Great.
We attended the SA Great ball on friday night. I attended for work - and did so because the last one that I went to was simply stunning, amazing, gobsmackingly great.
This one wasnt.
[i have now deleted the original comments that i made about the CEO of SA Great's outfit from friday nite and apologise for upsetting her.
now... the rest of the comments within this blog are a personal view only. yes, i appreciate a lot of you know who i work for, however this is my personal blog and i am entitled to a personal opinion - just like you are entitled to wear what you like. thankyou].

Three Hundred & Eleven
staff multicultural luncheon went well.
heaps of food eaten, lots of national dress worn, music was made and speeches were said. the company has over a third of staff born elsewhere (from adelaide)... and so it was time to celebrate. the day was a success xc
Three Hundred & Ten
blackout.
skies light with thunder.
lightening strikes.
with all its might.
scaring the cats.
rat a tat tat, two men on their back.
sorry to hear about the guys in the classic adelaide today. sorry to hear about the bushfires. crazee weather, people breaking up, the world is a mess. we need to focus on our best.

Three Hundred & Eight
Miss JM was knackered cause she'd been on a school camp - collected shells, learnt how to surf (not as easy as knee boarding apparently as there's nothing to hold on to) and generally had a good time even though the camera battery ran out on her.
We stopped into the pub on the way home to have a counter meal so that mummy didnt have to cook and then we scooted home.
All simple stuff. All easy. All the joys of life.
