the end was just the beginning
I was shocked when I checked my Facebook feed yesterday and saw a post announcing the passing of Pinky Poinker. Pinky Poinker was the alias of one of my favourite bloggers. Michelle (aka Pinky) announced: Pinky is Dead! R.I.P. Three years ago I brought that little minx, Pinky Poinker to life. Now I have killed... Continue Reading →
I've entered the over-thinking phase of the cycle. I lie in bed until the early hours of the morning, searching for hidden meanings in everything and creating dramas where there aren't any ... Oh, who am I kidding? That's not a PMT thing, it's just a ME thing. Anyways ... When my husband left the... Continue Reading →
Yesterday dawned so much brighter than the dark-ish day before. Damn the emotional rollercoaster of middle-aged womanhood. I can't wait until two pubescent daughters get added to the household mix. At lunchtime, I felt almost deliriously happy as I brutalised my body in a gym class. I was literally grinning like a Cheshire cat ...... Continue Reading →
I've been worrying that I have early-onset dementia because I keep forgetting stuff, but someone told me I probably have perimenopausal "brain fog." When I stared at them blankly - in a non-early-onset dementia kinda way - they told me to Google it. Cheers. According to the ABC: "‘Brain fog’ is a term not fully... Continue Reading →
DD and I were a bit ambitious when it came to our first holiday together - we tried to cram waaaaaaay too much in. By the time his conference finished - halfway through the Thursday of the first week - we only had seven days to see Cape Canaveral, Savannah, Lake Tahoe, the Napa Valley... Continue Reading →
I don't think I've ever been anywhere as beautiful as Lake Tahoe. It was soooooooo gorgeous it took my breath away ... or perhaps it was the -8C temperatures? Let's stick with it being the scenery. I wasn't very chirpy prior to my arrival. We got up at 4am in Savannah to catch our two... Continue Reading →
I'm not really one for Valentine's Day. Neither is DD. But when I arrived at his place yesterday I was greeted with French champagne and a Vietnamese beef salad he'd made for our lunch. It made me very smiley. When the heat of the sun was gone, we went to the beach for a swim.... Continue Reading →
I was moaning about something crappy that happened around mid-February last year to a friend when she replied: "The downside to your blog is that your remember these dates." Ironically, the crappy thing that I was moaning about WASN'T on my blog. But while searching for my Doctor Who Valentine's Day post to put on... Continue Reading →
Wow DD did a lot of driving on our holiday. Fortunately he's super-zen, so it hardly flustered him at all (except when I was behind the wheel). After his conference finished in Florida, I sent us on a six-hour road trip to Savannah for the weekend (via the Kennedy Space Center and St Augustine) with... Continue Reading →
Remember the time I accidentally booked myself and my ex-hubby into a disabled motel called The Wheels Resort for holiday? Extra-spacious bathrooms and a nice, handy ramp into the pool, but a bit shag-on-a-rocky rather than shag-a-lotty. Well, it happened again, this time with DD, in a little Florida town called St Augustine. Disabled bathrooms... Continue Reading →
