    Sandal Love*

    My dearest lovelies, do you know what’s happening outside right now? (well, not RIGHT now as right now it’s pouring rain whilst my bush-man of a Hubster is out hunting turkeys in the bush and I’m trying desperately not to worry needlessly about him but it’s RAINING and who wants to be caught in the bush in THAT?! End rant.) The grass is green. Leaves are slowly appearing on the trees. I’m seeing more t-shirts than I am parkas, and best of all–SANDALS. Sandal time is seriously my favourite season of all. I’ve given up calling April – June “spring”. In my house it’s Fall, Winter, Sandals and Summer. (I…

    Big Birthdays*

    I really wanted to write this yesterday, but I was so tired by 4pm that I went to take a 10 minute nap… and slept for nearly an hour and a half. Then the Hubster and I went on a date night to see Date Night (more on this later) and it was just late when I got home. There really aren’t enough hours in the day. Anyway.

He always buys me beautiful flowers and a thoughtful…

I’m convinced it’s the best show on TV right now, especially after my beloved Ugly Betty gave it’s last performance last week. *tear Anyway. I could rave and rave about how glorious Glee is, or I could just let you see for yourself. This week was a tribute to Madonna, and my favourite character did an AMAZING remake of her Vogue video in the episode. I thought it was pretty close when I watched the show, but when I found this video playing the two side…

    Parcel*

    Once upon a time, many moons ago, I had a doll. Now, this may not seem terribly out of the ordinary as most little girls have dolls at some point in their lives. Throughout my childhood I had Barbies, Polly Pockets, Jem dolls, Cabbage Patch Dolls, dolls that could eat, walk and wet themselves, and then there was a whole array of stuffed animals that lined the back of my bed. But before the barbies, Ragedy Annes, and even the cabbage patch dolls, there was Parcel. When I was a very little girl of perhaps four or five years old I had a favourite doll. She couldn’t bend, open or…
