maid of dishonour

So! There is something that I have been meaning to blog on for freaking ages but never quite seemed to get there and then that flowed on to other related posts that I couldn't really share because I never did initially blog about the first 'thing' and that would of made no sense.... 

Longest.sentence.ever. 

But it gets the point across. 

I think.

Anyhow, the big news that I for some reason neglected to post about...

My bestie Miss Linsey Patrice is getting married!

YAY!!!! 

The proposal actually happened months ago (Easter I think) and she called me that evening and I may or may not of cried a little.

Back story - I've known Linsey since she 18 and I was 20. We met through a guy I worked with at the time. We used to get drunk a lot together. On a Wednesday night at a local pub. Since then we've been on many adventures together, and she is bloody awesome, and super gorgeous (bitch), and I love her a ton.

We went out a few days later for coffee and she asked me to be her Maid of Honour. Of course I said yes. I may or may not have just cried a little again, but it is totally unconfirmed lol. 

Since then we've been in planning mode and put together a binder with lists and photos of inspirations for color etc. Sometimes we jokingly refer to it as our wedding. Except we aren't completely joking...haha.

It isn't going to be a super typical (aka lame) wedding and what is planned thus far is soooooooo beautiful. I love it.

So yes, Linsey is getting married and now I can follow this post up with others things I have been wanting to share.

But not right now. Instead I am off to have a bath and go to bed. It is seven pm after all :P

Oh ps, the man she is marrying is super nice too lol

Kid, you’ll move mountains!

"...and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.

The Waiting Place…for people just waiting.

Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or No or waiting for their hair to grow. Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite or waiting around for Friday night or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil, or a Better Break or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants or a wig with curls, or Another Chance. Everyone is just waiting..."

It has been a huge week. Many many things of happened. Some of which I have mentioned here and some happenings that I can't/wont go into on here. Those are mostly 'maybe' happenings anyways, happenings that I have been wanting for quite some time that might just come to be. Soso stoked.
Of late I have been feeling a bit stuck in place. Working toward particular goals, waiting for other parts of my life to come to be in the "right" moment, not really being able to do anything much. This stuck place is not very kind to me as I am very solution orientated.
