Finally out of my lazy slump

Today I have:
-Called the vet and booked an appointment for Puppy to get groomed (he’s getting shaggy)
-Gone shopping and stocked the fridge with veggies and dip, and loads of fruit
-Drunk my last cup of coffee (*weep*)
-Cleaned out the fridge of all containers whose contents are a mystery
-Made bread from scratch (haven’t found a bread in [...]

A first time for everything…

"Baby, I want to have sex."
"No. I ate too much Indian food and my belly hurts."
"Really?"
"Yes, really. I’m not an object, you know."
"Did you just say what I think you said?"
"Yes. I’m not just a tool for you to get pregnant with. I have feelings."
"Wait a minute, let me get this straight. You are REFUSING [...]

Biology at work.

Since being off the pill I’ve noticed that I’m more aware of my body and its moods. Like when I’m ovulating and I want to have sex with my husband ALL THE TIME. I suppose that’s my body saying, GET THE FUCK PREGNANT ALREADY!
Needless to say that Hubby is quite please with my constant need [...]

Being hungover isn’t as easy as it was when I was 18.

This morning I have already cancelled a dumpling making class that I was supposed to go to, slept in and made Hubby walk the dog. I still need to go grocery shopping for a dinner party tonight, make pizza dough (there are kids coming and I told them they could make their own pizza – [...]

An error in judgment is a bit of an understatement.

So the conversation we had went like this:
Me: If you ever do that again I’m buying a plane ticket and going home.
Hubby: I’m sorry. I made an error in judgement. It won’t ever happen again.
I’m not even mad anymore because, as Bluesoup pointed out in the comments, I know there wasn’t any sinister intentions. He [...]

Oh no he didn’t!

But, yes he did. Came home at 5 a.m. with another girl to hang out with at our place. A pretty little blonde thing who’s all of 22-years-old.
But babe, we’re just hanging out!
While I was at home puking my guts out, I might add. (Nothing serious, just a typically bad Beijing food experience.)
I AM NOT [...]

So I’m back from a little jaunt over to Hong Kong…

… which was miserable because:
1. It rained the whole time and my hair does not like the rain.
2. My period started with a bang. Woke me up at 4 a.m. with the WORST CRAMPS EVER.
3. The bed in the hotel was really uncomfortable.
Must say, I’m happy to be home and in the company of pain [...]

Why is this happening to me?

I officially went off the pill before the wedding so that Hubby and I could try to make a baby. The thinking is that since I’ve been on the pill since I was 14, it would take 2-3 months for it to be out of my system before being able to get pregnant. But really, [...]

Names I Call My Dog

Bumface
Grimace
Little
Little Bum
Lovey
Buddy
Or, a combination of the above: Little Bumface Grimace.
No wonder he looks confused.
(I’m testing pictures attachments so this might not work.)

Black Coffee is NOT GOOD

This morning I realized there was no more soy milk for my coffee; which I suppose I should have known before since I used the last of it yesterday but was too busy editing wedding pictures to go to the store and pick up some more.
It’s now 7:16 a.m. and the shop down the road [...]
