What having a Taurean bf does to an otherwise incompetent Sagi girl in the kitchen…

Date: September 23rd, 2004 | No Comments

Being such a ‘foodie’, as all Taureans are, cooking for a Taurean partner automatically raises the bar… and being an extraordinary cook himself only makes matters worse…
Never mind that I can barely boil toast…
However, last night, based on some rapid 4pm internet research that initially went from tuna tacos to me suddenly having an urge [read more]

Either my body is trying to tell me something [and let’s face it, do I ever listen?!] or… I am simply an old woman…
I thought taking the boys [Sean & Chris] to my ‘kicky-fighty’ [Tae Bo] class last night would be fun - an introduction to an integral part of ‘the Ging’…

Dirty f*kin’ f*kers!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a STOOPID little tax debt - my HECS [Higher Education Contribution Scheme] debt [the privilege for gaining a university education]. Being out of the country for 7 years, it’s accumulated interest and is now higher than what it was when I graduated [about 7 grand]! Anyway, a percentage gets taken out [read more]

Ging’s asked me to post some pix of her doggit, so if you’re not a dog fan don’t bother reading this post. Madra is Gaelic for ‘dog’ and he’s a chocolate labrador with a penchant for licking, slobbering, and general mischievousness. For all that though, he is pretty cool.

To make it fun, said friend and his friend have this thing where they have [read more]

A little bit of linguistics

This may have more to do with a Kiwiblog than an Ausblog, but if you’re ever confused between the two accents, this should sort you out! Your guide to Kiwischpeak:
1) Milburn - capital of Victoria
2) Peck - to fill a suitcase

My dog the pig

Yes, that’s the right, the adorable chocky lab… that I dearly love and adore… is a bloody pig! He’s a puppy so he eats like it’s his last meal. He’s a lab so he eats like it’s his last meal. He’s a dog… That’s all fine and dandy, but I know this, so know when [read more]
