Orange

Ha!  I fooled you! You thought I was back into regular updating didn’t you? You silly little thing. Actually I thought I was as well. I mean thirteen posts in 18 days?! But before I knew it I ran out of stuff to say and nothing new happened. Then I got a migraine on Tuesday [...]

Am I dreaming?

If the summer forecast always looked like this I would take it off my “Things That Annoy Me” list in a snap!

Title

I started to write a post yesterday that was going to be about things that annoy me because, frankly, I was annoyed. Unfortunately E decided that giving me five minutes to get a couple thoughts down was far too generous and was only willing to allot me 30 second stints of silence at any given [...]

Interesting Tidbit

A few weeks ago Andy randomly pondered where “he’s got a chip on his shoulder” came from. This is what he came up with:
It is American, first recorded in the Long Island Telegraph for 20 May 1830: “When two churlish boys were determined to fight, a chip would be placed on the shoulder of [...]

Cheater cheater pumpkin eater

As you may have noticed I’m trying to post more. I was going for every day, but I just didn’t feel like it yesterday and now I can’t think of anything to write about today so I am reposting something I wrote two and a half years ago. It’s not topical or anything, just an [...]

Also possibly too revealing…

…is the fact that I have always loved this theme song. I thought the show was just OK, though. Enjoy!

4!

As some of you know E celebrated her fourth birthday on Christmas day. Sometimes it’s hard to believe she is already four, but the times when she asks things like “Can I kiss boys yet?”, it’s hard to believe she is only four. I’m really hoping the “boys are yucky” gene kicks in soon. [...]

Make-a the pasta

We got a pasta machine for Christmas. Actually it was a gift for me from Andy. Coincidentally Andy has wanted a pasta maker for a few years now. Anyway, we’ve made it four times now and it is the best pasta I have ever had. So good. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to [...]

20.20

That is what all this cost me. $20.20! Five bananas, six pears, four white nectarines, six pink lady apples, six kiwis, a bunch of celery, broccoli, snow peas (only a handful because it’s for a stir fry), one red capsicum, one green capsicum, grapes and a dozen free range eggs for $20.20! I went to [...]
