the end was just the beginning
Husband stripped to his jocks and socks in our living room yesterday. Then things got kinda ... awkward. Not because - like a friend warned me last week - "He might even be thinking 'hey, maybe I get ex-sex'." That's a loooooooong way from his mind. I'd asked him to paint a wall prior to...

Finally, another jooshing reveal ... or "zhuzhing" as a friend insists it's spelled. Sounds more like a Chinese city to me ... And this time it's the master bedroom. Ooo-er! Let me show you around ... I went a little crazy over Morocco many moons ago ... bought the Lonely Planet guide, invested in exotic... Continue Reading →
Technically mine was the cowboy from The Village People ... but I was pre-pubescent and slightly clueless then. THIS was my REAL first crush: Neil Finn. Oh my giddy aunt did I think he was hawt. You can keep your Simon Le Bons and your Rick Astleys. And it's Neil's birthday today, so I'm breaking... Continue Reading →
I was offered a job overseas last week. If the opportunity had come a year ago, it could have changed everything. There's an episode of Doctor Who called "Turn Left". The Doctor's companion, Donna, goes back in time to the moment she made the choice that led to meeting him: turning left at an intersection.... Continue Reading →
I was planning on blogging something deep and meaningful today - well, as deep and meaningful as you can get with Doctor Who references - but yesterday was kinda full on and I just don't have it in me. Tomorrow, I promise. Anyways ... yesterday I went to IKEA for the 500th time while Husband... Continue Reading →
We can carry it, she said. It's not that heavy, she said. It's only 1.3km, she said ... OK, she didn't say the last bit, I Googled it afterwards. I'm down to the last days of the schmick-a-thon for the house sale. I needed an outdoor setting for the deck because mine had rotted and... Continue Reading →
I've almost finished reading The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy to the kids. They've discovered that the answer to life, the universe and everything is ... 42. And since everyone in the book was justifiably upset at waiting more than 7 million years for such an unsatisfactory answer, they built a computer that took 10 million... Continue Reading →
Working in the media has given me the chance to meet the most amazingly talented people over the years. Their words have made me laugh, made me cry, made me think. Their artistic endeavours have done the same. A few years ago, when I was editorial director of Woman's Day magazine, one of my designers... Continue Reading →
When I was a young lass, my nickname was Cinderella because I was never up past midnight. Now that I'm an old bird, I'm rarely up past 10pm. But I took temporary leave of my senses on Monday, seduced by drinks with my dear former workmates, and didn't get home until the ungodly hour of... Continue Reading →
The separated-but-together situation with Husband continues apace. On the weekend we drove to Newcastle for our niece's birthday, tomorrow we'll spend the day painting the back deck (well, Husband will paint while I follow behind with a leaf blower ... bloody autumn leaves), next Sunday we'll go to see Strictly Ballroom the musical as a family....
