How Did They See Me Coming?

This morning we went to the shops with one purpose in mind – to pick up a new pair of slippers for me.

So can someone please explain how on earth I’ve come home with a pair of slippers, two pair of runners, a food processor, two coffees and a Club Penguin membership?

Lunch

Rae is out with most of the kids so it’s just me and Mr H for lunch. Henry is happy with reheated home made pizza and last night’s rice paper roll ingredients leftovers have made a very tasty salad for me. Happy accident lunches are some of the best.

Back To The 80s

We’ve started re-doing the kids lounge room with the aim of making it a more kid friendly space. Part of this is getting rid of the arm chairs and replacing them with that great 70s (or for me, 80s) staple – the bean bag. The kids love ‘em, even if they do play havoc with Moo’s hair.

Peppermint Gold

It’s so hard to find OddFellows these days that when I stumble across packs I scoop them up. This morning I found the mother load at an IGA and was very tempted to grab all 20 packets, especially as they were only $2.50. Sanity prevailed though and I just grabbed 4. They should get me through the day.

The Fatty Irony

People talk of sweet irony…well here’s some fatty irony.

After my gall bladder removal I can now head off to Taco Bill and eat a mound of nachos, wash it down with barrels of alcohol and finish with 20 Death by Chocolates if I feel like and for the first time in years I’ll be in no threat of an excruciating attack of pain – just when I get to a stage in my life when the thought of cheese, drinks and sweets has turned in to a turn off.

Great timing as ever Tony.

But, given how good I feel these days, it’s an irony I can live with.
