So we have been on this 'started out as detox / became a way of eating every day / lost a stack of weight without really trying' diet thing for over 6 months now...and although it hasn't really done what it was supposed to do I am now really little [horizontally now too rather than just vertically] for the first time in my life and it has really just become a healthy way of life more than a diet but now it is winter... ...and all I want to do is bake and eat loaves and loaves of bread with … [Read more...]
This is too good…
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 am a sucker for green tea and have about 15 different kinds on regular rotation. This he found in a little tea shop in Perth that is the only place in Oz to import it. Soursop is a big fruit … [Read more...]
Stating the obvious?
I just got an email with this as the subject. So you tell me - is it a product description or a price offer.....or both... … [Read more...]
So I was on this bus…
This is really just one big inside joke, consider yourself warned. Everyone has in their lives those most unlikely of situations that render friends who will be around forever and memories that make you laugh out loud [way before the days of LOL] thinking about them years later. There is a video rocketing its way around the globe right now that is, first of all, just hysterical. Secondly, it reminds me of conversations that occurred regularly between twins [adult ones at that] while … [Read more...]
