Wallpaper

Thumbnail image for Wallpaper

Once I was good at melting into walls. I still am I guess. Like wallpaper. It was actually impressive how well it worked. People would have entire conversations without ever noticing that I was there. Which kind of made me the ultimate people watcher. It still happens sometimes. Even though now it’s not always on [...]

Internet? It’s Time For You To Be Awesome

Thumbnail image for Internet? It’s Time For You To Be Awesome

{Image from here} I only know one person who has died of cancer. That’s one person too many. And whether you have time, as your body gives way, to soak in everything that you will miss, everything that you won’t get to see until the strength of your spirit can’t hold your body up anymore [...]

I Draw the Line at Cat Pee

Thumbnail image for I Draw the Line at Cat Pee

We had a handyman come and install a cat door between the hallway and the laundry behind it. That way we could put all of Floyd’s litter and food in the laundry and not have it be the object of the Squishy’s obsession or have it stink out the place. Except that he won’t use [...]

Dissent

Thumbnail image for Dissent

Once upon a time, a lifetime ago I used to read legal judgements as part of my ill advised venture into studying law. I most enjoyed reading the dissenting arguments. I admired the passion, logic and analysis injected into something that someone would look at and might think didn’t matter. I admired that they didn’t [...]

I’m Alone in the House, Not Cleaning and Not Guilty

Thumbnail image for I’m Alone in the House, Not Cleaning and Not Guilty

On Saturday I found myself alone in the house (well sort of alone). And instead of cleaning the house I decided to vlog about not cleaning it instead. Not entirely productive but fun nonetheless.

Blonde vs Brunette

Thumbnail image for Blonde vs Brunette

A while ago I received this research from Clairol Nice N Easy about blondes and brunettes. Apparently 60% of Australian women think that men prefer blondes and almost half wish they were blonde. On the other hand, 77% think brunettes are taken more seriously and over half think that brunettes make more money in the [...]

A Very Goog Christmas

I do my own Chirstmas photos every year because Riley is petrified of Santa. I mean she likes the idea of Santa but she dissolves into tears at the thought of sitting on his knee. I take advantage of the fact that they still play along with this. I doubt I’ll be getting school children [...]

Vlog: Most Hated Housework, the Awesome Blogger Edition

Thumbnail image for Vlog: Most Hated Housework, the Awesome Blogger Edition

How did I end up in a vlog with all of these awesome bloggers? I don’t know. I’m pretty sure it’s something to do with being irritatingly persistent. Here we are blathering on about something that we can all relate to – the loathing of housework. Big thank you to Lori who did an AMAZING [...]

I Guess I’m Not a Romantic Person

Thumbnail image for I Guess I’m Not a Romantic Person

Man and Wife Tamed by Miltown, we lie on Mother’s bed; the rising sun in war paint dyes us red; in broad daylight her gilded bed-posts shine, abandoned, almost Dionysian. At last the trees are green on Marlborough Street, blossoms on our magnolia ignite the morning with their murderous five days’ white. All night I’ve [...]

Back to Real Life

After nearly two weeks we will be heading back home. A place where I am responsible for all cooking and cleaning and during the day I am mostly on my own. Not enthused. I rather enjoy being pampered silly. But eventually, things have to get back to normal. And both girls are more than ready [...]
