Back at last

So I broke my promise!

Last post I promised to blog again soon..... 2 weeks later I am finally here and can maybe fill you in on what's been going on with me the last 6 weeks or so.

Firstly.... the no smoking thing! Didn't last... I decided to allow myself to smoke for the weekend away with Shaney in Sydney and not smoke when I returned. Didn't happen! Those darn things are so hard to give up but I am going to reset my clock on the blog and try again next week. July 1 is my target so hopefully better luck this time.

Work has been crazy and so has the study for the assignments and exams. The date has been pushed out until mid August because some of the others weren't ready to sit as they hadn't been able to do their assignments on time. So I am going to have to hit the books AGAIN!...ARRRGHHHH

The last week or so I have been knocked around with the flu so I have had a few days off work.. (think I have driven Shaney mad). Now Shaney has got my flu....poor thing. Darn winter... can't wait for summer to come back round and lads like the one below start to appear again.

Now I am going to spend a bit of time catching up with what all of you have been up to.

Hello..... Remember Me????

Hello to everyone out there in Blogland.

I know it's been a long time since my last post but that course work sent me on was alot more full on than I thought. We had 2 big assignments that were due last Tuesday so that took up most of my time. Now it seems that most of the others didn't get theirs done in time or didnt even attempt to start it so on Tuesday the due date got pushed baack 6 weeks. One of mine was a bit of a rush job so I will work on that one and get it right.

Work has been full on at the moment and I have a big weekend coming up. So for now I will just say Hi to you all and thanks for your messages and keeping in touch.

I will be back early next week with another post.

Take Care!

Home Sweet Home

Well the Sydney trip is all done and dusted. I had a great time the few days Shaney spent with me down there but the rest of the time was full on. I couldn't believe how much work was crammed into 5 days.. is now time for me to hit the books and get assignments done and study for an exam again in Sydney in 4 weeks.
Over the weekend Shaney and I managed to have a couple big nights out as well as get up early and see the sights. It gave me so much joy to see him excited about it all. The plane trip.. wellt hat was another story...*giggles*.... I think it's going to be some time before I manage to get him up in the air again.
As for blogging I will do my best in between study to post some of what is going on - might be a good break from studying and trying to remember all these scientific names for bacteria that I have to learn.
I hope everyone has been well and thanks for the good wishes for trip.

Calling all Hunky Flight Attendants

The time has finally arrived. Tomorrow Shaney and I head off for Sydney. It's been so much fun watching how excited he is. It's his first real flight and he is somewhat apprehensive about taking to the air. Maybe I should try telling him that guys like the one below hang out in the clouds all the time!

I'm getting a bit excited about the trip as well. I love to travel no matter how short a trip it is. Over the years I have done a fair amount of travel and can't think of anything better than to be doing it with Shaney. All the pics in my header are photos I have taken on my travels. Maybe one day I will share some of those and some travel tales with you all.
I will be away for a week whereas Shaney is heading back on Wednesday. I have thought about doing a post to upload whilst I am away but I think I might just try to actually do a real one whilst I am away.
I hope you all have a great week. Blog soon.xx

Porn Star Crush

A little while ago I did a post on my partners porn star crush - Chris Rockway - and wondered if I really did have a porn star crush. I nominated a few that may have taken my fancy and some of my readers also put a few forward. I wasn't all that familiar with all of them so I had to do a bit of looking around. So, in the interest of being fair(and having a bit of as perve) here are 9 of my readers suggestions.

So far, So good!

Well... last time I posted I mentioned the giving up the ciggies thing and that I would post again the next day with how I was going. One out of Two there!
I am still off the ciggies... 2 days and 13 hours so the little widget on my blog tells me. I did not however get to report back on Monday. I decided that it was probably best I stay away from the computer for the day as that seems to be the place I smoke the most.
It hasn't been as bad this time as the last time I tried to give up. The first day was actually pretty easy.. no grumpy Nate. The hardest part has probably been with Shaney looking for the grump in me. A few times he has had a go at me for being grumpy because I'm not smoking when I thought I wasn't being grumpy at all.... that has nearly led to having a smoke! Day 2 was tough... a lil' bit grumpy and more and more of Shaney looking for it. Today hasn't been so bad. I had a course to attend all day today so was locked up and not really able to think about it. All the candy on the tables certainly took my mind off it!
Depending on how long I can sit in this room without a craving coming along I may post again tonight. If not I hope everyone who pops in here is well. xx

D-Day

Well the time has come.... When I finish this post I will have a ciggie and wake up a non smoker hopefully.
For months I have been setting myself dates to give up but this time I really want to do it. I know it's going to be hard and I am going to be a bit of a grump. I know this because last Monday I attempted to give up. By 9.30 a.m. Tuesday I was unbearable to be around and had to leave work to come home for a ciggie. It didn't help that a major suppliers delivery turned up to the restaurant that morning over temperature and it was going to be a couple days until I could get the stock replaced. This time I can't let these things get to me.
Hopefully my darling Shaney will be able to put up with me.
I guess now that I have put this out there in the blog world there is a bit more pressure I can use on myself to give up.

At some stage tomorrow I will jump back online and let you know how I am going.

Sydney here we come!

In a couple weeks time I have to spend a week in Sydney with work so I thought I would take advantage of the opportunity and spend the weekend before down there. Knowing that Shaney has quite a fear of flying all I could do was cross my fingers and hope that he would join me. For someone that loves flying and travelling as much I do it was a bit difficult to understand someones reluctance to fly. So yesterday I brought the subject up with him and after an hour or so of thinking about it he finally agreed. I am over the moon that he has decided to take the plunge and go on his first real flight.
Now all I have to do is book some accommodation, talk Shaney into the fact that flying won't be a problem so that I can book his return flight(he's thinking it might be a bus back on his own), and work out exactly what it is we will do down there.
If anyone has some suggestions of what we should do or see feel free to let me know here.

My Chris Rockway

As most people in Bloggerland know... or most of those that visit my site ... my other half, Shaney has a major thing for porn star Chris Rockway.

Ever since I found out about this "fantasy" I have wondered who would be my porn star crush. To date no one has really taken my fancy (tho I must admit that Chris is kinda growing on me).

So far I have narrowed my search down to six. As you will see below my taste in porn crushes does vary a bit, but just which one would be my fave I am still to work out.

Anyone out there got any other suggestions?

Thought for the Day

Back to work today after a nice day off. Have an early start so here's is my thought for the day.

Damn it's going to be hard to do get any work done!

Me Bad!!!

It seems I still have alot to learn about blogging yet! I thought I was doing O.K. until I saw that the picture I used as a background for my poll in yesterdays post had disappeared. Apparently that a certain image hoster didn't like the content of my pic which made my poll look downright stupid. Luckily my Shaney was able to come to the rescue and let me know what had happened.

So now I have found another place to host my pics... hence I will post one here that I thought was damn fine but someone at an unnamed site might not have!

My Favourite Body Part

So from these pictures below you could probably guess what my favourite body part is.
