Distance + coffee = home-amnesia

I sent my boyfriend the lyrics to “Monday, Monday” by The Mamas and The Papas early this morning because I was in such a crazy hurry to get all of the Monday morning stuff done—and got 10-year-old fed, dressed, washed and to school one minute late (only one!), Graydon’s friend to his house and me [...]

Private therapy: is it all about me?

A while ago I threw out the question to you guys, my friends and fellow bloggers, family and stalkers, that i was going to embark on something that was actually “all about me,” which was individual therapy. I’ve done plenty of family therapy, and mum and kid therapy, and a short (read: 1.5 sessions) of [...]

Internet danger: Why you should never order Christmas presents online late at night

OK, I have held off ordering things off the internet for years now, worried about security and identity theft and ether-thieves getting into my bank account (what they would do there puzzles me, but that’s not the point). But lack of time, Christmas-crowd-piped-in- carols-aphobia and sheer laziness have led me to where I am today—more [...]

A shout-out to Good Samaritans everywhere

<!– I loved this blog carnival last week, hosted by Marcy at The Glamorous Life Association, and since the title of her blog does capture the true essence of my life, I am here again! She has asked bloggers to “show us all what YOUR GLAMOROUS LIFE looks like.” Remember when Queen Elizabeth called 1992 [...]

Make your own fancy pants Starbucks vanilla latte

In a response to my own response to reader HoHoHo on Friday’s post, I went a’ Googlin’ and found exactly how to make Starbucks’ vanilla latte that I love so much. It is strictly a reward drink for me, to be savoured only after big wins (Graydon learns to self-inject and does one on the [...]
