ARGH!! Not that I’m at all p****d off. At myself as much as at them. I went shopping this morning (why I’m home on a workday is another story). I wanted to buy milk, among other things. One of the 50.000 milk sorts was on offer. One that’s produced by happy, non-genetically-modified-feed-fed, local cows. It’s […]
um.. see title 😛 (and 80 Posts, not counting this one)
Today I phoned in sick. I think I was justified. I spent the weekend at home with a blocked/runny nose instead of going skiing as planned, my head felt like it was the very heaviest type of time-bomb (likely to explode any moment), I had null energy and I could challenge dogs to barking matches. […]
*sings* There were 3 [already] in the bed and the fourth one said; “stuff that for a laugh, I’m going to sleep on the sofa” I was going to swap with her, but she wouldn’t let me. I had quite a guilty conscience until this morning when I realised she was the only one for […]
No. I don’t mean the male equivalent of lollypop ladies. I mean the pictures/symbols of people in/on the lights at pedestrian crossings. If you look at the red man long enough, you can still see him floating over the landscape long after you’ve crossed the road. Today he was dark blue when my eyes were […]
For some reason I can dance better with my eyes shut. I’m going to assume it’s because when they’re open, they fully occupy my brain with all the visual imput, too selfish or attention-seeking to let my hands and/or feet join in. Once I close them, I’m much more aware of what it is my […]
If writers stopped writing about what happened to them, then there would be a lot of empty pages. – Elaine Liner
Babushka, for anyone who doesn’t know, was the lady who wanted to go with the wise men to see baby Jesus (and bring him presents and toys), but who hadn’t finished tidying her house yet, so she stayed behind, promising to follow them as soon as she was finished. The thing is, when she was […]
“Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you” – Marsha Norman (If this is true, mine’s going to be a very odd book..)
I have a problem with priorities. Take today for example. I came home cold, tired and hungry. Also my hair was skanky and my house was a mess. The Mental To-Do List said: Sleep hot bath (+wash hair) cook+eat tidy up. However. The main problem with this list was the order. If I went directly […]
I am a glassblower. More accurately a scientific glassblower. I have just been on a course to learn what it takes to pass the exams which entitle me to become a master-glassblower. Or glassblowing master. Or glassblowing mistress I suppose. Whatever. The point is that I was there. And now I’m back. And I’m not […]
I’m going to be away for a week. I’m going back to school to become incredibly clever (I hope), and to catch up on sleep, and to get out of the workshop :). If anyone had told me 10 years ago, that I would one day rate going to school equal to something like freedom, […]
I’m learning to jump 🙂 🙂 And by jumping I mean riding over foot high snow ramps with a 5-10 metre glide up.. (Oh yeah, and the 2 foot snowpile on the slopiest part of the slope…) Didn’t break anything though 🙂 I even got half a second or so of air time on the […]
“40 days, 40 boxes” – Flylady’s idea. I’m not going to be home for 2 of the 7 weeks, so that’s a little tricky, but I think it’s not a bad idea… as long as they’re small boxes!
– though admittedly not at the same time! On Saturday I went skiing. I also went skiing on Sunday, but I’ve already written about that here. This is going to mess up the chronology of my posts, but hey… deal with it. After 3 weeks of thawing and piffling about snowing-but-not-settling, it finally snowed properly […]
