So while watching the Royal Wedding a few weeks back I tweeted this: 'just one cartoon figure or two more and it would be a Disney Movie wedding!' It was around the time that they panned to the trumpets and I fully expected little animated birds to fly out behind them a'la Cinderella. Looks like I wasn't the only one who thought that....this is all over the place today: Too funny. … [Read more...]
I’d have one up all year long if I could
I was over at The Bloggess just now and although her post is about cat thumbs it is also about Christmas decorations. [BTW, she is ridiculously funny and brilliantly inappropriate, read her.] I've never had a cat with thumbs but my grandmother does, that particular cat also sits up like a kangaroo on her back haunches most of the time. Are you completely lost and confused yet, wasn't I talking about Christmas? Anyway, the post reminded my about how my mother completely boycotted taking down … [Read more...]
And then your brain says YES
Because sometimes you DON'T EVEN KNOW you required something like a hamburger that provides 2 days of fat and calories or a new car with an Ipod connector or cereal with a little toy or a loan of money, and then you see an ad or get an email and suddenly you know, YES I NEED THAT THING that I didn't know I needed but have been conveniently pre-approved for! Then again, maybe not today. But I'm sure there will be something else tomorrow. … [Read more...]

The kitchen vortex
On the weekends the kitchen just sucks me in. Today went something like this...went for a walk; RJ wanted Moroccan Lamb Shanks for dinner - easy - so we stopped at the shops for meat; had to get onions and found bananas on the clearance veg rack; because I got bananas and we already had some as well, decided to make Banana Bread; rather than my usual non-meat variation on the Lamb Shanks figured that it was a good chance to try out the homemade Seitan recipe; needed Polenta to go with the … [Read more...]
Thanks y’all
Around November I was looking at the artist list for this year's Bluesfest in Byron and amongst one of the most amazing lineups I have ever seen there was The Indigo Girls. We decided not to brave the madness at the festival over Easter [back when I went - many moons ago - it was tens-of-thousands in attendance instead of over a hundred thousand and really, I can't be bothered to share porta-potties with that many people anymore, no matter how legendary the bands are], so instead, for Christmas … [Read more...]
Lollypops or jawbreakers?
I sent a client a link to a staged website today with instruction that she could look but not touch, or comment, or share it around...kind of like giving a kid the keys to the candy story with the proviso that they can play inside but can't have any of the sweets or tell any of their friends - and can pick out one thing for after dinner...in two weeks time. Modern day water torture. … [Read more...]
