All down my veins my heart-strings call

There's not a lot of content here. None, in fact. It is just a fancy 360 photo of the summer sun setting over the creek. Taken with my drone above some pretty scared goats!

As long as stars are above you

If I had to pick one word to describe the first half of this year, it would be unexpected.

Four more sleeps until the Auckland Marathon. Tired, happy, excited, nervous and… well, tired deserves another mention.

Let me start by saying the evenings are worse than the mornings.

The blacker the berry

Today I started a 5 day juice fast. This is intended to kick-start a month of being-awfully-good.

Everyone came away buzzing with the feeling we had been lucky to have such a cool experience.

Scrapbooks and scrapping

Ok, not much sleep was had, but it was about 600% more than expected so I was happy.

Birthdays here and there

We decided to get out and explore one of our magnificent neighbors, Whariti Peak.

A convenient ignorance

I glaze over at the merest hint of anything that might be related to American politics.

Life lies weighting

I am confused recently by how little time and effort I put towards the things I love.

Feeling blah blah blah

Usually, if I am quiet, I can make them respect the don't-come-in-unless-you-are-on-fire rule until the leisurely hour of 10am.

Up, up and away

So I am posting five things I would like to be when I grow up.

Whoever fights monsters

A birthday party with 14 ten year old girls, a brand new PS2 with Singstar and varying levels of puberty attacking from all sides.

Happy slappy

I already feel far too tired for this young-person sort of behaviour.

I wished for you too

Every other woman in the world has suddenly become petite, with creamy skin, floaty blonde hair and a little button nose. Bitches.

Growing pains

Admittedly he did have a fever... but it felt genuine nonetheless.

Having my paths crossed

All I have in my hands right now is my own heart and mind, and I am happy with who I am and the direction I am heading.

A final dream

For the first time in years I felt like someone liked me even though they knew all the shitty stuff about me.

Knock knock...

The usual desperate need for attention is being nicely sated by my total self obsession at the moment.

From the shadows

I thought love was just waiting for me to catch up but now it seems we were running a completely different race.

Becoming the path

As far as I know, the purpose of this blog is to document the journey I am on right now.

Red, red whine

A Guinness from the Celtic would go a long way to improving things for me.

Paleolithic pain

Throwing all my beliefs out the window I have started on my new diet.

I know not how

All I have tonight are some things I know for sure.

Feeling mallow

It has recently come to my attention that miracles do indeed happen and so I think I am going to crank up my expectations.

Wuv... true wuv

The sort of guy who will just love the jealous, insecure and feisty person I am.

I gnome not how

All that remains is to name my new bright red garden friend.

Crap

I am in no mood to give up my resentment.

Lots of Mer

I am toying with the idea of loving somebody again.

Hairy situation

Thoughts of a plump hairy woman sitting at work.
