The weekend...
Picked up my new passport at lunch time! Now I've just got to fill in the uk visa application & drop it in after work & I think that's pretty much most of the stressful, time constraint stuff done.
Oh, Vaccinations! Ok, just on hold with the doctors office now....
This weekend was pretty good. Friday night, after spending a hour or so at the travel agents - my new favourite hang out ;) I ended up going down to the local for a few drinks with a few guys form work but I got really bored so left by about 8.30 & ended up getting a DVD - American Pie III.
... how bad is this, I'm on hold for at least 5 minutes & the receptionist comes back to me & is like "sorry, what was it you wanted?" How funny. Anyway she's going to call me back.
Back to Friday, I was in bed (asleep) before 11pm so that's not to bad but I woke up at like 7am Saturday morning & couldn't get back to sleep which sucks!!!! Ended up getting up & going out to my mums place. We've figured out we can fit all of my stuff at her place so that's going to save me $2k a year in storage costs which is fantastic!
After that I had to go to the fitting for my bridesmaid dress. How much does it rock been a girl, I so love getting dressed up! The dress is great, it's just a plain A-line floor length skirt (of course mine has to be taken up cause I'm so short!) with a strapless bodice, but we're getting really thin straps put on. The colour is 'sea'. My friend looks absolutely amazing in her wedding dress. She's going to be such a stunning bride!!! I'm really excited about the wedding now. I spent the rest of the afternoon / evening with the 'bride to be's' sister & we planned the Hen's night & Kitchen tea. I made the coolest hen's night invitations too.
Sunday was great. I didn't leave the house, sorry, that's a lie I had to go get a ruler & pencil so I could finish off the Kitchen tea invitations. Other than that I stayed home all day. The boy came over about 1ish & we just hung out & had fun. It's pretty cool to have someone to hang out with. Must admit though I was thinking more than I should have been about my ex.
Now that I'm going away, my family's like "are you sure you're not just running away form things?". I feel like a broken record. For god's sake if I was running away I would have done it a year ago when things turned to shit, not when I'm actually enjoying my life! When someone plants that little thought in my head, it gets me questioning myself & analysing things so my whole weekend was pretty much filled with these thoughts.
On Friday I sent out a huge group email to all my friends & I sent it to my ex too. I wasn't going to but thought 'what the hell'. He sent me the following back:
"I'm glad to hear that you will be travelling but please make sure you sign all the divorce papers before you leave as we need original signature and it cant be done via fax. I don't want this to be dragged out as I have plans for the future. Thanks & Take care"
Fair enough. Then on Saturday when I was talking to my friends fiancé he was saying that my ex is planning on having kids ASAP too. How can I explain this. I'm not jealous cause I don't want my ex - at all - but I'm a bit pissed that he really moved on so quickly, that doesn't quite explain it either though. There's still no way that I want to complicate my life by having a permeant fixture in it & I really don't know how he can even comprehend getting married again "as I have plans for the future" i.e. marriage, let alone having kids.... it's beyond me!
Anyway I responded back to his email saying the following:
"Yep, that's cool I was filling them in last night :o) It'd be good for me to get it sorted ASAP too. I don't leave the country till x April so hopefully it'll be done by then...? Do you know what the deal is with signing them? I don't know why but I had it in my head that I couldn't sign them until we'd been split a year?
If I get a chance over the weekend I try to sit down & read them...
Do you want me to send them to your mum & dad's?
Good luck with everything & hope you're enjoying your new house & life,
Take care,"
And I haven't heard anything more about it. I got a call form his brother over the weekend too. Him & his girlfriend want to catch up for dinner mid week. I also had a voice mail from his mum too. Sometimes I think it'd be nice not to have to deal with them but I've known them for 7 years so it's not like I can just shut them out...
God I blab on about nothing!! Better actually do some work.
