Notice I’ve changed?

Notice I’ve changed?

I’m absolutely a newer Isabelle model. Bit like the bionic woman, more beautiful, faster and ready to dazzle. Dressed up with no place to go, but does it matter? After all, you don’t need a place to go just to look good. We should aim to feel so every single day, even to do the [...]

Bananas!!!

Bananas!!!

Bananas are like gold to me!!! When they don’t get eaten for any reason and get over ripe. Good old banana bread with cream cheese frosting is made in my home. It’s been a family tradition since I was a teenager. Just call me the banana bread whisperer. Any wonder my belly refuses to shrink! [...]

The Chonk Connoisseur

The Chonk Connoisseur

I’m definitely not the chonk in this scenario! I’ve been way off form this week feeling up and down nausea and wanting to chunder. I muddled through a few days then it hit like a brick. Chunder found me. Then add to that “through the eye of a needle” then you know what I’m talking [...]

Spooky decor

Spooky decor

In the realm of spooky yet stylish home décor, there's one piece that even the undead can't resist – the Chez Moi Ghost Arm Chair. I mean, who can blame them? My bony friend seems quite pleased with this piece of spectral furniture. I guess when you're all bones, you develop a keen eye for [...]

God it’s Monday nearly

God it’s Monday nearly

Oh, Monday, you're back, a thorn in my side, With your early alarms, I can't seem to hide. The weekend's a memory, a dream far away, But on Monday mornings, it's here to stay. The coffee's my ally, my trusty old friend, As I stumble to my desk, my week's about to descend. Meetings and [...]

Do the housework, washing etc in current pjs then shower and pop in fresh pjs. Then further shower end of the day, more fresh pjs and bed. I am totally on [...]

A stiff drink

A stiff drink

You know what they say, when life gives you lemons, make a stiff, zesty drink! You may not have a bartender's license, but you're about to earn a Ph.D. in cocktail crafting. Your kitchen is your lab, and your liquor cabinet is your treasure trove. The more exotic the ingredients, the better! Need a dash [...]

Hallowed be thy season

Hallowed be thy season

It feels wierd to me at times to celebrate Halloween. I never grew up doing so but it’s a yearly thing people seem to get great joy from celebrating. Halloween, a time for costumes, sweets and spooky fun, often feels incongruous when the world is beset by troubles. Hell right now it’s immensely so. How [...]

Gorgeous or Hagrid?

Gorgeous or Hagrid?

Let me confess something. I've spent hours perfecting my Second Life avatar, transforming myself into a dazzling gorgeous bombshell. All the while , just sitting here in my comfy pajamas, resembling Hagrid. It's a peculiar world where I feel stunning as an avatar while my real self is embracing the inner Hagrid in mucky nightie [...]

Worry and reality

Worry and reality

I carried on working today longer than normal. The odd 15 minutes here and there I’ve noticed is becoming habit forming lately. I spend all day wishing the day away and when it comes, I’m holding back from logging off. Honestly I’m clearly at odds with myself. Though deep down it’s my sense of knowing [...]
