Fat and you know it, clap your hands…
Stop! Don’t even go there. This is not a post celebrating being overweight. That is not my style. I think all people deserve opportunity and respect. I also think you should be proud of yourself, take pride in yourself at all times. Whether at a transient weight or not. There. Disclaimer done. Moving on. I was 10’ish when I…

Quitty Quitter
It occurred to me today that I am good. Feeling good. Good. Good goodity good. In fact I thought it time to give you a little update on all things quitting. Since, it turns out, I am the queen of quitting stuff this year. Including my 20 in 2011 list. It just didn’t seem relevant any more.…

Staring at a Desktop
Photo from Microsoft’s Samples Pictures file. Sometimes I find myself sitting and staring. For periods of time. Thinking. I’m sure. Looking deep into the horizon of my desktop image. My eyes blur a little and it becomes a way off place that I can barely distinguish my dock from the clouds. So deep in thought I am. …

Freedom VS Free
I’m back at work. This week it has been virtually full time so far with one of the admin ladies off for the week. My 20 hours officially starts next week. As I schlepped home yesterday afternoon, eyes hanging out of my head from adjusting to my new start time, I thought. If I didn’t…

Space relations {Not Outer Space – Personal Space}
So over the past ten days I have been in planes, waiting in terminals, riding in cars and on trains. Simple. Right!? Except that I’m a large lady. I’m 5’10 and a size 22. So there is a wide range of seat sizes on offer out there. Open ones, arm rest type ones and ones…

Funeral plans & other uplifting things
Here’s one he prepared earlier! Ta da’h. Working from home can be a hard gig. There’s the managing of your own schedule, planning, discipline required. But there is one thing that is harder to manage than almost anything. The insurance infomercial type ads. I am constantly torn between purchasing and punching the tv in the face. Insurance is, after…

People are generally good
A tow on the beach? No worries mate. Do you see it? When you open your eyes you can see it everywhere. Maybe it’s a small town thing or maybe I’m just looking. Today I went to get the groceries. Yup, that was the earlier post. Having a whine about it. But while I was there I…

That’s YOUR problem.
QANTAS lost a lady’s 11 year old kid yesterday. He got off a flight where he was flying as an unaccompanied minor and wandered off to find his Mother. He was found near a baggage claim, unharmed. I’m sure you heard. It was on the news, all over news media websites etc etc. Apparently the Mother is…

Spam vs I don’t like it
Sent to me by a friend – Please advise if credit known. Blogger has this filter thing. It filters all the spam comments from appearing on the page. I still get notified by email of all comments. Sometimes I pop in to check. Today, I received an anonymous comment on my post about becoming a…
