on standing still

Get me, updating twice in one day. Anyone would think this was a proper blog or something.
So, I was sitting in the kitchen the other day with my mum and sis, and mum asked sis to write out a birthday card for my uncle from her and her boyfriend. She did the same for my brother when he arrived, and gave him a card that she’d bought for him and his girlfriend. I asked if I should write out a card too but she said she’d put my name on hers because “you’re on your own.”
uhm… No. Remember that shy, nice looking chap that was with me the other evening? That’s my boyfriend, that is. Though apparently he’s not allowed to be included on a card since we don’t live together. Pfffft. Fair enough, I don’t see much of him because of the wonky hours we both work, and at the moment it’s doubly difficult because it’s the school holidays and he has dad stuff to do (and as he has 3 teenage daughters I can’t deny him the opportunity to spend time with them while he can, soon they’ll start moving on to uni or whatever else they have planned) – but that doesn’t make him any less a part of my life.
Lately whenever I’m around my family I just feel a little bit like I’m invisible or, worse, like I’m that one that nobody talks about. You know the sort – every family has one, right? It feels like everyone is moving onwards and upwards and I’m kind of stuck. It’s odd because I have a relatively good job, I’m looking to buy my own place and yet… it’s just not enough.
But, on the plus side, I found out today that the birthday cards have gone astray in the post. Shame.
on tinkering with my theme

Changed the background of my WP theme – what do you think? I’m a bit crap with Photoshop, as you can tell. The bike photo came from here, the other photo is of my dog and I can’t remember where the beach photo came from but I’ve had it for ages; even used it on a previous theme, as I recall.
Of course, you know I’ll get bored and change the theme again in a couple of weeks.
on my birthday
June 14, 2010 by Sharon · 4 Comments
My birthday was a fairly low-key affair. Well, let’s face it, at my age you can’t go mad. Got some fantastic swag – Torchwood on DVD (woo! to more Captain Jack pervage), a ton of Sanctuary Spa smellies, a lovely Kahuna watch from my mum, an itunes gift card from sis and some DS games, big box of chocolates and lots of other goodies from D. Sadly, the day was slightly marred by the fact that dad still refuses to speak to me and I have to admit that did upset me quite a lot – especially since he was in the SAME FUCKING ROOM as me at one point and yet he couldn’t even manage a ‘happy birthday’. Pfffft. I’m so, so glad D was around to make the day fun – we went to the seaside and had chips because, as everyone knows, they always taste better when you have them on the seafront don’t they?
