It is the last day of winter.

So, weather, you can start getting warm now. I know you are trying to save the world from the grotesqueness that is my hairy white legs, but at least give me some hope and a reason to try and make them more presentable.

It is 6 days til my 2nd wedding anniversary.

Somehow Josh has survived two years as my husband and is thus far relatively (but not totally, I’m sure) unscathed. The second anniversary is cotton or tin. So I’m giving him a pair of jocks and a can of baked beans. Not.

It is 8 days til Josh’s 25th birthday.

My toyboy will be a quarter of a century. Time for the quarter life crisis.

It is 12 days til our trip to the zoo.

This one.

And most importantly - 14 days til my 29th birthday.

If you haven’t bought me a present yet (perish the thought!) you can peruse my Amazon Wishlist for ideas. Just click on the pink “Stuff I Want” button in the left menu to get there.

I work from home, performing data entry tasks for a business brokerage. I enter the details about various businesses for sale into a database.

On a couple of occasions now, I have had to ask myself the following question whilst performing my job:

Do I list a brothel under Entertainment? Or Service?

Tired.
Got a headache.
Josh bought us pizza. Vegetarian. Yummy.
Half-folded basket of laundry in the kitchen.
But I’m not going to finish it.
Because I can’t be arsed.
It’s very quiet.
No tv, no music, no naughty doggies.
I can hear our myriad clocks.
Some muffled car noises.
Josh tapping on his laptop on the couch behind me.
Darcy is next to him.
Curled up in the tightest ball imaginable.
I think I might join them.
I will curl up between my boys.
Enjoy the near-silence for a while.
Truly do nothing.
Then have a shower and get to bed early.
Because I have to get up at stupid o’clock in the morning for work.

Me: Hello?

Caller: Hello, this is D…. from F…. Holidays, how are you today?

Me: *groaning inwardly* Good thanks.

Caller: Is your Mum or Dad there?

Me: *smirking to self* No, not at the moment.

Caller: Okay, I’ll call back later then. Goodbye.

Me: Okay, bye!

Caller: *hangs up*

Me: *loudly* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You say you’re open minded
But you scoff at my beliefs

You say you don’t care what people think of your taste in music
But you hide your Hilary Duff CD when your boyfriend comes to visit

You say you’re not interested in fashion trends and labels
But your flowing beaded skirts are from Sportsgirl and Witchery

You say you’re into protecting the environment
But you drive your car to the corner shop and your recycling bin is empty

You say body hair is natural
But you get your legs waxed every month

You say the slaughter of animals for human consumption is callous and cruel
But your Doc Martens are made of leather

You say money and material goods mean nothing to you
But you own the latest model mobile phone and will only sleep on Egyptian cotton sheets

You say you’re an individual
But you’re doing the same as everyone else

You say you’re your own person

I say you don’t know who you are

Okay, so she’s not prodigal in the true sense of the word, but that’s beside the point - MY MUMMY IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!

I haven’t seen her in about three months. I’m used to her only being a 5 minutes drive away, but since May she’s been a 5 hour + drive away.

Let the shopping trips, morning teas and yummy dinners resume!
