Describe a situation that forced you to confront a neighbor Oh this is a good one Mama Kat! I can’t decide which one is best, they all terrorised me equally so prepare to meet my multiple bad neighbours; 1. When Bush and I lived in …
I have been sucked into the Bush vacuum for the last 3.5 weeks and it is so weird. I feel like I have been forced to take a vacation from my life but in my own house. There are strange things afoot, like the pile …
The Prompts: 1.) Tell us about a “dirt cheap” you’ve taken this summer. 2.) When I grow up I want to be like… 3.) Describe a difficult moment that you survived. 4.) List 5 things you like to do while camping…or 5 places you’d like …
This pic was taken at midday believe it or not. This crazy bird was so tame, when I arrived at the cafe it was sitting on Pauline’s head.
My Michael Jackson memories. There are so many, I grew up in the eighties so pop music was like crack to me. Madonna, MJ, Tiffany, NKOTB if you hate it, then I probably loved it. Christmas 1987 rolled around and Santa delivered the gift of vinyl – the Bad LP. Oh how that white/black man in his leather and chains and loafers enthralled me once again. I quickly dubbed the album to tape (I also received a bright red cassette recorder that Christmas) and Bad became the soundtrack to my 8yo life.
Two weekends ago Dave, Bush and I set off for an adventure the likes of which we weren’t prepared for and did not expect. It was one of those parties we used to go to when we were at school, usually our parents didn’t know …
It may appear to be celebrating the diversity of gay sharks, but this picture Ethan coloured today is pretty big news in the Jack house. Ethan doesn’t ‘do’ arty creative colouring like this. He is a man of science, and prior to this sharks have …
To celebrate the fact that I was well enough to get out of bed yesterday, the boys took me shopping. The mall is a dangerous fantastic place to be in the midst of our sobering economic climate. Everything is on sale, if you are paying full price for something at the moment you may have lost your marbles (but can probably pick up some new ones at 50% off). I found a pair of Country Rd jeans for $45 (more than 50% off) and these two fab tops from Max which were also 50% off. Ok. To be truthful, I got 2 of the grey star-sign tops as they will be so great for layering in winter and as t-shirts in summer.
Ethan is permanently fixed to his computer at the moment and is obsessed with hidden object games (made for grown-ups of course), so the advertisements on TV for the board game Pictureka really appealed to me. I wanted to be able to encourage what he enjoyed, but also get him off the computer. This game is SO much fun, we all had a blast playing it last night, it is easy to tweak the game play for all ages and best of all it was on sale at K-Mart for $29!
I may not drive a Prius (though I would if Toyota needed me to test drive one for a year or so!) and my car does not run on recycled vegetable oil, but I can say that I have been the proud owner of a …
