Flaked it!
Dexie was being ratty and threw some puzzle pieces at Willow, so I put him on her bed as a time out. We don’t really enforce time out here, it’s more of a removal from the situation – and the frustrated parent! I had gone back down to the lounge room but he didn’t follow. [...]

Choc-o-lit Sloo-Flay
Yesterday afternoon I melted a block of Whittaker’s hazelnut chocolate in a glass souffle dish, separated some eggs, whisked the whites and beat in the yellows with the cooled chocolate. Mixed some of the whites in with the yolk/chocolate mixture, then folded the rest in gently. It turned out ok – far lighter than a [...]

December 19 Car ride. What did you see? How did it smell? Did you eat anything as you drove there? Who were you with? I actually have an interesting one for this. Funnily enough, I had to ask A* about it and he wasn’t even with me! As I’ve posted previously, in the middle of [...]

Where The Wild Things Are
I have fond memories of this book from my childhood, so when I saw that it was being made into a movie, I really wanted to see it. We bought the book in preparation, so that Willow would know the general outline of the story. Most movies made from books have to leave out a [...]

December 18 Shop. Online or offline, where did you spend most of your mad money this year? Probably Smiggle? Yes, I really am a 14 year old girl.

December 17 Word or phrase. A word that encapsulates your year. “2009 was _____.” I think the best word is calm. No fuss, no dramas – I like it like that.

December 16 Tea of the year. I can taste my favorite tea right now. What’s yours? Struggling with this one a bit…I am more of a coffee drinker. If I have tea it will be at home or if I’m out, it will be a chai. I see people order tea at cafes and coffee [...]

Dad
It’s the 16th of December today, my Dad would have been 59. It hurts too much to imagine what might have been if my parents didn’t die. It hurts too much to imagine what life would be like if they were still around, what would they look like now at 51 and 59. So it’s [...]

December 15 Best packaging. Did your headphones come in a sweet case? See a bottle of tea in another country that stood off the shelves? It would have to be my red velvet lip gloss from Philosophy. Not quite the image I was after, but it gives you an idea.

December 14 Rush. When did you get your best rush of the year? Well, there was that time around my birthday when I took a trip on some magic mushrooms… I saw pink elephants and everything… ONLY JOKING! A couple of times when talking to clients I’ve realised that their perception of reality and mine [...]
