Hurricane Charlotte strikes again
John: Where's the mouse? (for the computer)
Me: In the bathroom.
John: Oh, of course.
Update
I was a bit hasty with my ooh aah there’s an amazing Australian bakery open in midtown. I blogged before I taste tested. Unfortunately my sausage roll was disappointing. It had beef in it. Who puts beef in a sausage roll?
However.
The chicken & mushroom pie? OHMYGOD. So good.

Fly
I have no idea how this started but Charlotte will ask to fly. She keeps her legs dead straight, puts her arms out to the side, and then John lifts her up like a little gymnast.
Also, polka dot overload.

Working from Home
I recently lost my cubicle at work because I don’t spend enough time there. Understandable but still……(not a happy camper about it). As a result I will probably work from home more often.

“On my calendar today: ‘remind yourself that when you die, your ‘in...”
– I read this on my friend’s Facebook earlier this week. I constantly have never ending to-do lists on the go and convince myself that as soon as I get them cleared I will relax. But the truth is the list never gets knocked down to nothing. Spotting this on Facebook was a good reminder to just...
Happy New Year!
I hate New Years Eve. There’s all this pressure to have an amazing night and wear an amazing outfit all while freezing your ass off and trying to make your way on public transport because finding an available taxi is impossible.

Random stuff
Every time we come out of the elevator in our building Charlotte points and saystree and gazes in rapture at it. The tree that we have in our own apartment gets barely a cursory glance but the lobby tree is a constant source of wonderment for her.
This photo was taken on our way out to sushi last Friday night. In my hand is the ‘dinner bag’ that we always bring when we go out for...
