I like going to the beach.  I like being at the beach.  I just don't like coming home from the beach.  (more here ...…

I always feel guilty on Mother's day.  I wish I could be more like the Mom's who march right up to sit in the VIP seats and accept their awards and accolades but ya ...no ... not me ....  (more here ...…

I love the chaos of children out of control, frantic parents, and all the cute cute things children tend to do when they overdose on chocolate from Easter.  (more…

I went shopping for the perfect Easter Egg yesterday.  One that was all pretty and lovely and chocolatey.   (it's a word if I say it is a word ... it is my blog!)  (more here ...…

Yesterday as we grabbed the train into downtown Brissy, hubby reached for the door and opened it for me to go through.  He is such a gentleman.  (more here...…

This post is a multi purpose public service announcement.  First there will be no garbage pick-up on Thursday in the neighbourhood as the trucks need to be serviced after all the rain and too many people trying to put out their husbands after weeks of being locked in confined spaces with them.  (more …

You know, I am disillusioned.  I guess that means at some point I was illusioned and then I lost it but I can't tell you for sure the last time I remember having any illusions intact.  There is the possibility I was born illusion-less. (more …

The fact that someone figured out that an anagram of "National Rail Timetable" is "All trains aim to be late in," is proof that leaving people around waiting for trains is a dangerous thing to do.  I cannot be sure but I think it was on one of those waits that someone came up with the idea for bacon flavoured tooth floss.  (more …

I think people today have an unfair advantage.  They have reality TV.  (more here... )

I am the type of girl who, when I find something I love love love, I will buy it in several colours ... not wedding dresses or clown costumes or anything like that ... but definitely shoes, purses or a great coat.  (more …

I think it is pretty sad that when I googled interesting facts about violins they made a couple of attempts, moved to Beethoven and by the 4th entry they thought "to hell with that, let me tell you some interesting things about space." (more …

Have you ever noticed that there is not a whole lot of differnce between the words "errand" and "errant?"  I think it confuses men. Obviously it is easy to mix up words that are written down.

I don't have a good excuse for why they look at a word written down and confuse it with "nothing," but I am trying to be…

I think people need to warn men that they should learn from their mistakes.  Men do lots of things - but everything they do is simply to try and get a woman.  They pretend lots of things ... to try and get a woman.  (more…

I am so stoked, the neighbour cut their grass.  I know ... Planet Bliss has been reduced to an all new level of pathetic-ness.  (more…

On the farm I had a pet gosling.  It is not that I aspired to have a pet gosling but I was a sucker for fluffy things - and yellow fluffy things seemed especially bright.

I named him "fluffy."  (more here…

There is actually a bit of a cool breeze blowing tonight and I am stoked.  (more here ...)

Have you ever noticed that when you want to be alone, like go for a walk alone ... some radar must go off somewhere and people are launched out of their houses to come and bother you?  (more…

Walk with me back through time if you will ... not too far bac ... people tend to let go of your hand when you go too far ... (more here…

The cool things about being raised by your grandparents was that they were not that hip and aware.  I didn't think much about it back then, I just sort of accepted it as a gift from God and proof that some people did know how to give good gifts.  (more …

I have a pet.  I am trying to adapt to life in Australia.  I think I suck at it.  (more here... )
