Happy Father’s Day
I was going to do one of those self congratulatory posts for my first back from my unplanned blogging bludge break. This is what I had in mind. Gorgeous filtered photos (I got an iPhone while I was gone). There were going to be glamour shots of a [...]
I’m off the drink again. Wrong month. Again.
Gosh it seems like only yesterday that I gave up drinking in what I like to call Dry August. That was in 2010. Quite a long time ago. I stole the term Dry August from the Dry July campaign that ran the month before. I'm a little slow at catching on [...]
Since when did eating out become so darn hard?
I don't know if it's an old person thing, but I'm getting really jacked off when I eat out lately. From being totally ignored when you stand at the please wait to be seated sign to being ignored when you are actually lucky enough to score a seat, [...]

Spring cleaning schedule for the new year
I'm one of those psycho neat freak people. Well not really psycho, but definitely a tidy person. I've packed up the Christmas tree, put it away and have vacuumed the floor where it was. That all said, I admit to having a cleaning lady, but she's [...]
Hangover cures for New Years
Following is this week's Gen X Girl weekly column that appears in the Townsville Bulletin's Savvy magazine. I had a houseful of Gen Ys over after Christmas. They all woke up distinctly green tinged, hoarse voiced and shaking hands. “Hangover” [...]
OK, you can drink this much
I may have been a little vague when I gave my office party drinking guidelines last week. Fortunately though, ther are people out there who do their job far more efficiently than I do. Check out the graphic for your personal guide to drinking at [...]
Ho, ho, ho. It’s Christmas party time
This is my column from this week's Savvy magazine, that appears in the Townsville Bulletin. The letter box is full of junk mail, the shopping centre carparks are full and there’s the ubiquitous hum of Jingle Bells playing in the background. It [...]
