It’s just not cricket
I love watching sport. Love horse racing, footy (the code that Queenslanders are good at) and cricket. Though I must admit that cricket almost didn't make my list. I'm sort of falling out of love with cricket. They play too often, the Australian [...]
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 [...]
Ommm, did someone fart?
Someone let go a fart at yoga the other day. In an everyday situation it would probably have gone unnoticed, because it was a discreet, very lady-like fart, except this was a yoga class and we were all very, very quiet, concentrating on our [...]
Underweight models, Jennifer Hawkins and other fattist propaganda
It was my husband who first brought it to my attention. "I'm a bit concerned about Jen. She's looking a bit skinny." To whom was he referring you might wonder. From the personal concern you might assume it was my daughter, except for the fact [...]

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 [...]
Dry August, am I too late?
Last month was Dry July. People were asked to give up drinking to raise money for charity. I actually don't know anyone who did it but there must have been quite a few because there's a website and people's names with fundraising efforts beside it. [...]
A ninja took my bride
OK, when I first saw this video it took me a while to realise it wasn't for real. Or was it? I'm a bit confused. Is the bride's hair real or not? But anyway I digress. I remember when my husband and I did our bridal waltz at our wedding to who [...]
Family stickers suck
Have you seen those family stickers that people are now decorating their cars with? They've replaced the frangipani but not the private school sticker that says I'm a (insert overpriced private school of choice here) rowing/tennis/tuckshop [...]
