Makes sense to me

It’s become obvious in the last six months of living together that the BF and I have very different ideas about is an ‘optimal’ temperature to keep our house.  I like it so that it’s cool; so you have to put on a cozy sweater and slippers. He likes it so that it feels like [...]

High school all over again

Every Wednesday night I go to a language class. If I master this language, it will turn me into Superwoman. For real, yo.
Anyway, we were reading a text about studying and I wasn’t really paying attention (I was unwrapping my new lip balm), but I heard this snippet from another student:
“Do me… er… it.  Err… [...]

Things to buy/do this weekend

1. Fat pants for work. I’m sick and tired of always feeling like a sausage everyday because my pants are too tight. It does NOTHING for my confidence (this means going from a size 4 to a size 6 which sort of feels like someone is pulling my nails out with plyers).
2. Lip gloss. I’m [...]

A letter to my uterus

Dear uterus, 
It is with regret that I must write you this letter with the intention of lodging a complaint in regards to Incident A (explained below).
I’d like to think that we have had a good working relationship in the past. I mean, I’ve never had terribly bad cramps and while my flow can sometimes be heavy, [...]

Certainly Crazy

Apart from our incredibly busy social schedules, the BF and I are attempting to renovate our kitchen.  This probably proves beyond a doubt that we’re insane and should be committed instantly to a mental facility – but just think of the shinny new kitchen we’ll have as a result!  SO EXCITING!

Korean food and a documentary. Who knew they would go so well together?

Last night the BF and I went to have some Korean food (very good) and then met up with some friends to see the documentary For the Bible Tells Me So.  If this is playing anywhere near you, please take the time to go see it. It’s fantastic.  (Check out the traileron Youtube.)
Afterwards we went [...]

Totally freaking out that there’s a dirty pot in my sink RIGHT NOW!

Bf and I were lying in bed on Friday morning, looking at each other and wondering who was going to call in sick first. We knew it was one of those We Aren’t Sick But We Don’t Want To Go Into Work Days.  We have them every once in a while; a double sick day [...]

Update

I’m so sick of this diet crap.  This is what BF and I have decided over the weekend: We will do yoga once a week.  We will continue to avoid carbs at night and to have wholsesome meals for breakfast and lunch.  I will continue to get up on my step-machine for 10 minutes every [...]

One Step Closer

Well, keeping my hands constantly moisturised seems to have worked. My cuticles are no longer dry (and so I don’t feel the need to pick at them). 
They’re still too short for sporting my dream nail polish, but a clear coat is definitely on the cards for tonight.
