more bedroom confessions

Please don’t judge me too harshly. I’ve had a little itch.   What? No! I don’t need directions to an STD website.  *slap* This is an itch of the ethical kind.   It all started when I read a fellow twitterer’s tweet about her devoted pact with her husband- basically they would not tweet mean […]

There is an ongoing war in my marriage.  A struggle that has occurred nearly every bed time since the official honeymoon was over.  C’mon- don’t play coy…you know what I’m talking about.  It’s epic. It pits will against will.   It’s the battle of the Readers vs. the Television watchers.   My husband is the telly watcher. […]

Today my kids were lucky enough to be invited to a bowling party hosted by players from Melbourne Victory. I have to admit that I don’t really follow soccer, so I quickly gave myself a Google education and we headed off -autograph book in hand. While we were driving to the bowling alley the kids […]

Was just reading a funny blog on Obama’s recent controversial speech delivered to all the kidlets of America (well at least to the ones whose mommas and poppas didn’t protest and keep them home in the trailer park that day- but ahem-I digress….) It evoked a memory of my own physical scareducation back in the […]

Deceivingly good looking Naan bread

I was all consumed with being a mrs-cleaver-mommy yesterday.  For the first time in ages I had no imminent deadlines and other than a house that needed dusting (pure evil) the day was mine! All mine!  The sudden desire to cook was overwhelming. Fresh free-range-corn-fed-no-hormone- chicken fillets from the farmer’s market beckoned me to Indian […]
