6 Weeks

November 15, 2011

As you may remember, I have been alcohol free for the last 6 weeks. No wine. No Martini’s. Not a single solitary drop of anything fun has passed these lips in 6 weeks. Well, I did get a little wild and have a Coke Zero on Melbourne Cup day, but that doesn’t really count. Surprisingly, [...]

No Blonde Jokes

August 15, 2011

I did something really scary on Saturday. Are you sitting down? I went to a new hairdresser. I’m sure you blokes are laughing now, but for us girls, a new hairdresser is a really, really big deal. And, not only did I get a new hairdresser, but I got a whole new color. I woke [...]

Happy Birthday To Grace

August 8, 2011

Yesterday, my baby celebrated her 3rd birthday. Does this mean we are over the terrible two’s? I hope so. Our family tradition is to have breakfast in bed on your birthday. Until Grace came along, the birthday breakfast was always blueberry muffins. As unbelievable as it sounds, I have given birth to a child who [...]
