These Bitches Aint Shit
Firstly forgive the title. I hate women being referred to as bitches, but really when you hear this you'll see where I'm coming from. It's a youtube clip of a gorgeous girl's choir singing Dr Dre and Snoop's Bitches Aint Shit. Butter wouldn't melt [...]
Gay your life must be
Oh dear, oh dear. A poor old school teacher is in trouble again, this time for being too politically correct. No this dastardly man did not ban Santa Claus, he changed the words of a song. But not any old song--it's a song that is an Australian [...]
Aussies have bums, fair dinkum
If you wanted to upset my old man (that's Australian for father) you just had to refer to people as guys. "Australians don't have guys we have blokes or fella or sheilas," he'd growl. The older I get the more I think I'm turning into him. Takes [...]
Aint love grand
This is a little gem that's floating out there in cyberspace--well Craigslist to be specific. Can I tell all you single girls, it's times like this when I'm glad to be a happily married woman (or female as the following poet likes to say). Anyway [...]
Memories, photos, chants and underpants
I'm right into photo books at the moment. I've got a gazillion digital photos that are sitting on my computer doing nothing. And that's where they'll stay till the hard drive on my computer fails and then I'll sit around and cry because they've all [...]
These are a few of my tackiest things
I have a tacky list. Things I would never do because they're well...tacky. Things like double denim. Fashion experts can tell me all they like that double denim is back but it won't change my mind. If it's tacky when Justin Timberlake does it, it's [...]
What’s on your anti-bucket list?
I love anti lists. I actually wrote an anti-list at the beginning of this year. Had a glance over it and yep, I'm on track. I haven't done any of the things on my anti-list. This is constituting a very successful year. So a new trend in [...]
Did you know that Twilight can kill you?
OK, I'll admit it. I'm one of the few women in this world who have not jumped on to the Twilight bandwagon. I actually feel a bit left out, but I only have myself to blame. I tried, I really did. I read the first book and got half way through [...]
Are you a scruncher or a folder? Well this could rock your world.
My husband spends hours in the toilet. Apparently this is a common trait of most men. Now we women are far too evolved to actually expend too many brain cells on wondering what they do in there (apart from the obvious), but in the interests of [...]
Get Real Yoga
Yoga and pilates are the trendy kids on the exercise block. What's not to like. They calm, relax, do killer stuff for your abs and you don't even need to wear gym shoes. I love yoga. Have been doing it on and off for 20 years. I like how it [...]
