If It Wasn’t For This Blog, I’d Be Totally Pregnant By Now.

June 29, 2010 Random Grumbles

So, a couple of weeks ago I was engaged in a full-on five-alarm panic that my usually-like-clockwork period was two days late. Two days. Holy fuckballs. HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?! I shrieked inside my head, wandering around my house with my arms clamped to the sides of my face, my eyes wide and [...]

Someone Tell Me Why TV Has Become So Freaking Crappy. Please.

June 9, 2010 Random Grumbles

First, let me say that I love television more than I love my own children just about anything in this world. It’s much like a full-time job for me. I try to fit in about forty hours a week, if I can. (Or at least I used to.) Heh. I love all kinds of programming, [...]

Perfect Cookies = Perfect Mum

June 2, 2010 Dirty Food

So, I don’t really bake. I blame this on my mother. What I mean is, I didn’t stand on a chair next to my mother watching her sift and stir, knead and fold, turning flour, sugar and eggs into magnificent confections. She wasn’t a baker. And she wasn’t that kind of mother – which is [...]

Hella Hot

May 26, 2010 Random Grumbles

I will not complain about the heat. I will not complain about the heat. I will not complain about the heat. Holy fuckballs, it’s HELLA hot outside, yo! It’s just over 36 degrees celcius today, but the radio people say it feels like 40. Why not 50? Why not a million? I think beyond 35 [...]

My Littlest Little

May 7, 2010 Random Grumbles

I crouch down to her level and say, “Hello, you!” Her thumb-sucking mouth splits into a huge grin, and she throws her arms around my neck, hugging me close. She breathes, “Mummy.” She is two. She is still so little. But I just know that in a blink she will be six, and then she’ll [...]

“Vacation” Sounds Almost Exactly Like “Gastro.” But Not Really.

April 29, 2010 Random Grumbles

So, last Thursday I was moaning on Twitter about needing a day or two off from my completely suckadocious life, because I’ve been a reno-widow since before the holidays and the kids are totally tired of me, and I am completely fed up with them too, and I miss my life of eating dinner during [...]

Making Tracks is Easy When You Ain’t Pushing a Stroller

April 12, 2010 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

This morning I spent time in the apartment downstairs finalising the paint colours for the space. This is a subtle thing. It must read as “painted” and with some amount of colour, but not too much… and as pleasing a palate to as many people as possible. Modern. Clean. We have the place painted professionally [...]

It Might Get Loud

April 6, 2010 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

Last night I watched a documentary called It Might Get Loud. The description read: “A fascinating look at three generations of guitar players in the form of Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White as they demonstrate their ongoing love affair with the guitar.” That’s exactly what it was – unpretentious guitar-love. And it was [...]

Getting Carded for Cigarettes Isn’t Quite as Awesome as it Sounds

March 31, 2010 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

First I want to say… I guess I took a bit of a break for a while. The trick is to actually call it a break in the first place, rather than be left feeling like a loser-failure for not writing anything. An even bigger trick is to not feel supremely worse about it with [...]
