This morning I had an interesting conversation with Grand Master D. I’ve been wanting to have it for a while now but there’s never a ‘right’ time to bring it up. It’s not like it’s dinner conversation, you know … how was school and oh yeah don’t rape girls.
Bhahahahahha Got you didn’t I. You thought I was gonna get all new year’s resolutiony on you. Well I fooled you! I am the LAST person to do New Year’s resolutions. I think they’re silly and they always fail. If you do them, all power to you, no judgment. I’ll admit that trying to be better, do better or give …
Hey Friends, I’ve been a little absent, forgive me but it’s the busyness of the Christmas season and a touch of ‘I need a break’. We got through it relatively unscathed. Everyone had a wonderful Christmas and to say we were all indulged is an understatement. The kids were so excited that they got up at 2am and creeped out …
It’s true, I have a love of laundry. Don’t ask cos I can’t explain it but I like to wash. I imagine it’s the clean thing or the ocd folding thing. I don’t know but it’s like stroking the furry wall.

Now you know how we hunt our trees, I suppose I should share how we decorate too. It’s a little contentious because I’m all just hang the decorations and the King is all let’s plan the look because he’s OCD and the kids just wanna get it up and pretty. I stayed right out of it and let them all …
Winter Christmas is way different to the Summer Christmases I grew up with. As a child and young adult I couldn’t really relate to all the Christmas cards and images of snow and sitting by the fire. For us in the southern hemisphere, Christmas is a time for the beach and outdoor Carols by Candlelight and Christmas Day in a …
Do you ever get those days when everything is too much? When ‘whoa is me’ seems like an option? Well I had a week last week, don’t even remember why now but I was homesick and sad and tired and just crap. Oh and I think there was a sick kid thrown in for good measure. I had a whinge …
