Lunch: A Simple Pleasure

October 29, 2012 Dirty Food

I have this friend who got in touch with me recently, saying there were some changes in her life, and she’d fill me in sometime soon… I said, “How about Monday?” And she happily agreed to come. We’re not close, per se – it’s because we’ve actually only met each other in person a handful [...]

The Thing About Jack White

October 23, 2012 entertainment stuff

Okay, I don’t actually know what The Thing is about Jack White is. I only know there is indeed a Thing, and holy balls, does it ever give me a boner. I’ve had this mild medium scorching hot crush on him for some time now. Sure I loved the music of the White Stripes – [...]

Making No Corrections

June 26, 2012 Random Grumbles

Oh, this little girl… She says, “Mummy, can I have one of these africots?” And “Is this adocado ripe now?” And “It’s so hot outside… I need some sunscream.” She is nearly four-and-a-half. I’m not in a rush to correct these little words of hers… she’s become long and lean, and nimble. And wise. It’s [...]

Vibrations

June 13, 2012 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

I’m still vibrating from this house party I went to over a week ago… it was to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of some very cool people we know. TWENTY years. It feels like an almost impossible amount of time, but then, Martin and I have been together for nearly that long too. Sometimes it [...]

Still Here

November 1, 2011 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

Well, it’s been a long while since I’ve been around these parts (again) but it’s only because oftentimes I’m writing over here and uploading outfits from my closet over here whenever I have time to write at all, since summer tends to be a bust when the kids are home so much, and September tends [...]

The Girl’s Night In With Our New Friend, Senor Sauza

June 13, 2011 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

When I went to bed, just shortly before 2 AM Friday night, I first had to shake some kosher salt out of my bra. Maybe a small bit of watermelon rind too. These are signs of a good party, yo. Earlier in the week, I thought I’d invite a few of my neighbourhood foxes over [...]

Channelling Your Inner Charro

June 8, 2011 fashion & beauty stuff

You know how I’m a total sucker for a ruffled shirt, right? Well, last week I bought not one, but TWO of them! I wandered into Bedo, which has been one of my favourite go-to stores for quite some time now… I think I end up buying some form of jacket or blazer from them [...]

Soft Lips

June 7, 2011 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

A few months back, I was at a kid birthday party, and struck up a conversation with another mother, and her charming husband. They were slightly hung over from the evening before, and I was desperate for a nap (as usual) and so be proceeded to have the funniest conversation you could dare to expect, [...]
