So tomorrow RCN (our new cable company) are coming round to install the modem cable so that my computer will be permanently online...whoopie do, Morpheus's idea, not mine.  Personally I don't why we couldn't stick with Time Warner but they're you go, boys will be boys.

Anyway a woman's just phoned to confirm that a little RCN man is going to come round tomorrow between the hours of 9 and 5....Isn't that just crap, don't you think with all the new technology that we have in our hands these days that some bloke could at least narrow the time down to when he's going to call by.  I asked her this and she said no, that he has a lot of jobs to do, so when he's finished one, he just continues onto the next.  So my question is: "can't the dick estimate where in Manhattan he's going to be?  At what address he's going to be? So that if he's at an apartment near to mine, then surely he can give me a time when he will be at mine?  Don't you think that's reasonable?  I mean what is it with these people, ok I'm not exactly running around ragged working my arse off at present, but I do have a bit of work to do tomorrow (ok I can do that here) but it's just the principal of the thing.  Even Morpheus when calling them to arrange the visit said to me in his girly sucking up voice, "which ever one of us is around on Friday will have to wait in when he calls".  Yeah right sweetie, you know damn well that it would be me...don't give me that crap!!

I felt down and miserable when I woke up this morning, not sure why, although I do feel crampy and achy today which is due to my period and the fact that my body is sore from yesterdays Yoga class.  But that's ok as it's a good, well earned type of sore!!

However that low feeling has now passed and I'm definitely on the mend.  I'm also much happier now because I booked our flights back to England online today.  I used Travelzoo.com  which is a great site that was passed on to me by my friend Kiwi Boy.  Of course this time of year the flights are really expensive back to England but we have to go (friends wedding) so we may as well just suck it up and get on with it.  I also picked my own seat through a clever aircraft picture that gives you green boxes, which are the seats that they have available.  I was lucky actually because there were only around 6 or 7 left.  I managed to book myself a window seat which is great because I have my little ritual when flying back to Rule Britannia which consists of:

Sit in seat
take shoes and socks off
put on nasty blue given socks courtesy of British Airways...thanks!!
take make-up off
slap shit loads of moisturiser on face plus facial spray
order two Bloody Mary's not the boring Virgin ones
gorge on free bag of peanuts
have two glasses of wine with meal plus lots of water
take one sleeping tablet during meal
finish meal, go to loo
begin to read or do crossword
PASS OUT
open my eyes just as Captain says "we shall be landing in approx. 20 mins, please return to your seat and buckle up for the final descent".

I'M HOME!!
(ok where's the nearest fish 'n' chip shop?)



So basically what I'm saying is that to do the above I have to be in a window seat, BECAUSE if I'm in a middle or aisle seat then scummy traveling companions will have to move or step over me all the time while I'm in slumber and we can't have that now can we.

You may have noticed that I have omitted Morpheus from these plans, that's because he's traveling a couple of days after me as he doesn't have the flexible schedule that I have, and anyway he hates to travel with me because I make him speak to me and play travel Scrabble or something.  We will be flying back together though, which will either be nice or horrible depending on his mood about returning to work......

Oh before I forget my wonderful friend Josie came round last night to return an outfit and some shoes that I'd leant her and she also bought me my belated birthday gift.  It's a beautiful hand knitted tiny V-neck sweater with cup sleeves, it feels great on, makes my boobs look weird but then I wasn't wearing a bra.  So I'm going to try it on with different things in closet and see what looks best. Thanks sweetie, your a good friend!! Oh yeah and you know that fab dress I got the other week from Zara that was really inexpensive, well Morpheus doesn't think it looks suitable for a wedding, he reckons it looks a bit cheap.....cheeky bastard! I think it looks nice.  Well more fool him because him and Carl (guy getting married) are going to Barney's this weekend to shop for their wedding suits, so I'm going to join them and then make my cheeky husband buy me a VERY EXPENSIVE (NOT ONLY LOOKING) OUTFIT!!    I'm such a princess!!!.....
