OMG, OMG, OMG… I am SO MAD at myself right now! It’s been 6 weeks since major surgery and I am still not allowed to do anything. Seriously, nothing. At least until my physician gives me the green light. And with 6 weeks of minimal movement & the food that accompanies, I’ve gained at a…
Category: Confession
I have to ask…
Is it just me, or has anyone else gotten a front row seat to witness an otherwise almost normal functioning ex’s degrading mental health after the engagement was announced? If so, please share your story. Seriously! -Mliae *Photo from Pinterest
Is it Possible to NOT Lie?
Hi there, Today I got Busted. With a capital B, for ‘lying’. Not outright lying, or pathological lying, but white-lie lying. And when I tried to defend myself, the reply I received was ‘you lie all the time about this stuff’. I was gobsmacked. I mean…REALLY?! I’ve always considered myself a rather straight forward person, with…
Super Sustainable Wardrobe Clean-out!
OK, I did it. And you would not BELIEVE the size of the discard pile! Many of you know that I have made a promise to myself, and to you, that I would not purchase any items this year that are not made of 95%(difficult to find elastin-free items)-100% natural fibre. That means: Cotton (the…
Blogging in the Twilight Zone: Am I the Asshole?
When your need for dignified blogging lands you in a comment war with a teenager. Yes, I realize going into this that it’s probably going to be a shit-storm. I also know that I am not alone. So, speak up, people! I don’t want to sling mud, so the blog I’m referring to will remain anonymous….
My Guilty Secret: Weekend Cleaning Motivation
Welcome to my weekend 🙂 I don’t know how many of you out there are familiar with the show hoarders, or the UK version – The hoarder next door. But these shows are…horrifying…and disgusting. And the best possible remedy for this lackadaisical cleaner – ever. I don’t know what it is. But if I sit…
Yay! A reason to celebrate on Fri-yay!
Just a little health check in to let you know that I am doing so much better! I went in for one of my follow-up blood checks and I was told that I’m now running on levels twice as high as I had when I went into the hospital. I am so happy! 🙂 It seems…
OK, Let’s Talk…
Time to get a bit personal, ladies and gentlemen. I’m not usually the type of blogger who shares the details of my life which are truly personal…like down to the core, personal. I like to keep things in my life on the positive side, and don’t generally even like to speak about the difficulties one…
A word about centerpieces
Although we still haven’t fully decided if the reception will be outdoors or indoors, we still need to look at how to make our reception not look like a luncheon meeting, but a wedding. Looking through all the ideas for glamming up a wedding reception, I’ve come to realize that its absolutely ridiculous what people…
That moment when…
… You decide to edit and customize your blog page, only to revisit and discover you have posted tagged posts as features instead of moving them into the new page you created. And you never even knew you could do rolling features on the front page header menu! So, just in case there’s anyone out…
He Proposed!!!
Happy Mid-summer weekend all! This week has been full of excitement 🙂 On Thursday, my guy asked me to Marry Him and this lady said YES! YES! YES! I’m so in love, and so excited I can hardly contain myself! I’m already making all around me insane by trying to get a solid grip on venue…
Morbidly Mortal or Blessed by Time?
In light of todays’ bombings in Brussels, I decided to publish this post. We live in a world where it is becoming an increasingly common story to wake up, round up the family for breakfast, head off to work thinking of the days tasks ahead of us and never expecting the unexpected to happen. Sadly,…
My Dirty Secret: Cleaning Motivation
It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the day-to-day of work, travel, play, sleep and mundane tasks. It’s that occasional moment when I look around and see all the things I’ve yet to do that makes me roll my eyes and want to climb back under the blankets and hide. When I can find a corner…
