Well, it has been a while. Went paintballing with friends last week and ended up covered in egg-sized welts. Nice! Then proceeded to get insanely...ahem...tipsy and pole dance for my friends. Shameful, honestly.

Things are going okay with the husband. He is trying and I am trying and things are going well. We will see. Early days.

His birthday is Friday and then we have England's first match in the World Cup on Saturday. I will finally get to meet his best friend's girlfriend. After a year and a half, he has decided that we are secure enough for us to meet her. I need to focus on the fact that this is a great step and not hold on to the anger.

Looking forward to it!
