Guessing everyone is telling dudes everywhere to “smile, beautiful”. Anyhoo, National Smile Day (who comes up with this stuff?). What makes people smile? What makes me smile? Husband, boys, obvs, reading funny shit. Thinking of this because it’s really happening! Watching movies with the boys that deal with real things makes me smile. We’re rewatching … Continue reading National Smile Day
One time in high school, during one of the times when everyone was writing each other letters, even though they would see each other every day, I was writing an inspired letter to a friend and the general theme was menstruation – written in red ink, drawn-on drips down the side of the page, puddles … Continue reading Too Bloody Right. Seriously, Too Bloody
Kids have habits, they can be annoying. End of story. Well actually, just to clarify, both kids and their habits can be annoying. 9yo and 8yo have had habits which were frustrating, and sometimes we managed to get rid of them, only to have them replaced by other, equally as annoying habits. 9yo had 3 … Continue reading Habits
Yes. I did. I actually did. It all started way back when I was young and naive and living on my own for the very first time. I had bought my own apartment and I’ll be damned if I can remember anything else that I was thinking about. Well, that’s not true. I was thinking … Continue reading Holy Shit! I’ve Written A BOOK
I’ve been seeing a lot of press for Georgia Clark’s “The Regulars” (adding it to my list) and she has written a bunch of articles on feminisim and beauty and etc, plus blog tours. I just read one over at annalisebooks.wordpress.com in which she talks about her perception of beauty as a child, and it … Continue reading Ideas Of Beauty
So Monday was #Nationalbookloversday and it was all over twitter so it must be legit. I’m not reading anything right now but I am a book lover, not a fighter. I don’t fight with books, I let them take me, clothing optional. I’ve read loads of books, obviously, since I’m mid-30s, maybe on the cusp … Continue reading Book lovers day
Don’t do it. Don’t get married and don’t have kids. Stay young and beautiful and naive and do what you want and don’t get grey hair and tired. Disclaimer: reading a book about cheating husbands whilst stuck in a broken down bus on the side of I5 with kids who won’t shut the fuck up … Continue reading Just Say No
So this trip will be quite different from my last and especially the beginning – because there are no bicep curls this time! I have a hat box full of hats rather than books (I only brought one book with me and it’s paperback!) and my case is a rolling dream, rather than stunning and … Continue reading Je Suis Desolate
So, call me crazy or whatevs but I have a sense of adventure and sometimes that means reading all fucking night – as in literally all night – or maybe just til 4am or writing until midnight or binge watching two seasons of GIRLS because they are seriously only 30 minutes each, or thereabouts. It’s … Continue reading Girls
Currently reading “A Man Called Ove” and he’s a cantankerous old prick who knows how to do everything except be nice to people. At least, that’s what I’ve read so far, and he always grumbles about what yhe world is coming to because of what people can’t do. I am going to be Ove when … Continue reading What Is The World Coming To
