the end was just the beginning
I am in a special sort of hell today called Moving House Twice in Six Months. It's freaking horrible. What's getting me through is imagining my housewarming ... and a flashing checkerboard dancefloor in the lounge room. I've been intermittently sending out invites to the housewarming soiree between packing boxes. Has yours arrived? If it... Continue Reading →
I was soooo much fun to be around last week. Mirena hell combined with PMT hell and collided with moving house stress. It turned me into an emotional rollercoaster extraordinaire ... until Friday. I was a bliss bunny on Friday. I decided to pretend for a few hours that I didn't need to pack and... Continue Reading →
Since I have no idea how to slow down ... I've decided to move house on Monday and go on a cruise on Tuesday. That shouldn't be stressful AT ALL. But I figured I'd rather get the move out of the way so I could enjoy my holiday. Well, that's the flawed theory. Cruises have... Continue Reading →
Celebrities have a love-hate relationship with the media. They frequently sue them Hugh Grant famously won bucketloads in 2012 over News Of The World phone hacking claims. Grant's slams included: "There has been a section of our press that has become allowed to become toxic over the last 20 or 30 years and its main tactic... Continue Reading →
Kev the Removalist rang me in a complete tizz yesterday. "You didn't make your bed this morning!" he admonished, before launching into a your-place-is-a-mess rant that would put my parents to shame. He'd let himself in with the spare key to assess how many trucks were needed to transport my extensive belongings (verdict: 2, plus... Continue Reading →
It's kind of fitting that I once described myself as a human cockroach and I've now won a package of Mortein products courtesy of my beloved Pinky Poinker. (Mind you, Pinky - bless her - DID comment on said blog that "You’re not a cockroach! You’re a Phoenix!") Back to the draw ... It was... Continue Reading →
It hits you like a punch when you hear a friend is clinging to life on an emergency operating table. It's also a reminder of how trivial my concerns can be and how precious every day should be. I have everything crossed right now that my old mate will be OK. He was so lovely... Continue Reading →
I'm having a Draco Malfoy moment. I really wish it was a Harry Potter one. I watched The Deathly Hallows with the kids last night. Parts 1 & 2. Pretty full on. Lots of torture and dying. Not terribly suitable viewing for an eight-year-old. But, as DD noted yesterday - while observing my little terror gleefully... Continue Reading →
I got my babies back yesterday after their two-week holiday with my ex's family. It was soooooo good to see their bright, happy faces again. Knowing they were having an awesome time doing stuff like this ... ... made it a little easier to be apart from them. But those holiday smiles won't last long... Continue Reading →
A year ago, I was terrified of tomorrow. Last week, I posted this meme on my Facebook page ... I belatedly Googled Brad Paisley and it turns out he isn't a philosopher, he's a country singer who looks like this ... (If you prefer your quotes from brainiacs, here's a brilliant one from Albert... Continue Reading →
