The family took a trip to Pavilion a couple of weeks back (I say “trip” because we ran a few other errands and it became quite the excursion, plus I was exhausted by the end of it) and while the men did some shopping, I finally did two things I’ve always meant to do but [...]
In an effort to better my writing and reignite my love for books, I have decided to start reading more.
I’ve just read Wuthering Heights, and was amazed by how privileged people back in the 19th century seemingly passed days, weeks, months and years doing nothing but eating, getting dressed and undressed, taking walks/riding ponies [...]
I’m sure you’ve heard about the side effects of motherhood – lack of sleep, no time for yourself, poor diet, zero exercise…
It’s all true. I’m working on getting enough sleep, eating healthily and doing at least some exercise once a week, but I’m yet to figure out a solution to the “no time for [...]
The husband has been away for the last six days, scuba diving in Bali with J, another friend and a group of others. Some people are surprised that I let him go, which in turn surprises me, because I would never forbid him from going (yes, I’m one of those “I want you to want [...]
Having tried (and failed miserably) to locate a decent pair of maternity jeans in all this land, I finally gave up and turned to the Internet.

My brand new Yamaha P-85 digital piano has arrived. I cannot stress how excited I am to finally own one of these. It’s no contest against an upright or even, gasp, a baby grand piano, but given our budget and space constraints, it’s just about the best thing ever.
G dropped it off yesterday [...]
For someone who loves sports, plays music and is fairly coordinated, unless I’m playing Halo or Winning Eleven or one of those impossible X-Box games because they involve six different buttons each with its own function (how am I supposed to remember all that in the heat of battle?), I have terrible timing.

This is J, Y and C poring (pawing) over the new iPhone 3GS. This is me being bored so I took a photo of them. I’ve never been one to get gadget envy but I must confess, I’m starting to develop a real hankering for a phone that allows me decent Internet access and, [...]
My new toy:
Y’s new toy:
I have decided that no matter how much I shop, there’s no way I’m even going to come close to the amount Y spends. Hooray for me.
