The cake went to a better place
A homeless man had set up shop outside my window this morning. I knew this wouldn’t last long because my super would be out there moving him along. I felt so bad looking down at him as he packed up his stuff.
So I went into the kitchen, cut up the rest of the cake, wrapped it up, put my coat on, went downstairs and gave it to him. And told him to have a nice day. He thanked me and told...
Puppy poo
You have no idea how many photos I have taken of Winston’s poo. And the really hilarious ones I have wanted to post on my blog so badly.
But I have restrained myself. You’re welcome:-)
Gilt
I have complained about Gilt before but they were just silly complaints about how quickly the stuff sells out.
Now, I’m fuming. I seem unable to use my Gilt credits (and btw I have built up quite a lot). When I go to checkout it only gives me the option of using a credit card. Nowhere on their website are there special instructions on how to use the credits. Worse, when I ring their...
Daily Joy
Licking the bowl. It’s better than the actual cake.
UPDATE: The cake is AMAZING. Another ready-mix (yes, being lazy with the ready-mix again) from Trader Joes.
I am...
An Australian girl
Living in the U.S.
Ringing my Irish mother
To ask her opinion on my German homework assignment
Then baking a cake for the Canadian boyfriend
And finally playing with my American dog
Procrastination is my middle name
When I was at university, it was back in the dial up days (in Sydney) and the only time I actually used the internet was once every couple of days to check my hotmail account to see what silly jokes my friends (the very few who even had email accounts) had forwarded me. The way in which I procrastinated was by watching Ricki Lake (I actually sat in the audience when I came to New York a few years...
Saturday To Do List
Take Winston to the vet
Cut Winston’s nails (John did this - I just couldn’t)
Give Winston a bath
Brush Winston’s teeth (this may need to be filmed for comedy purposes)
What exactly did I do with myself pre-dog?
WatchI was always amazed by Lilly insisting on swimming before she actually hit the water - you can see this phenomenon here and here.
It turns out my Winston does it too. Yay!!!!! That means bathtime will always be fun for Mommy. This was filmed 2 weeks ago. He is double the size now.
I get a little over-excited when I realize that my dog is a GENIUS air swimmer.
Free shoes
Me: If you buy me these shoes I will give you all my Gilt credits.
Him: (Awaiting response)…..
This is a win-win situtation. He is always buying things from Gilt and I have never bought anything. Plus the shoes cost less than the Gilt credits I have. The Gilt credits are all freebies from people I have referred to the website. Which technically means the shoes are free. I’m...
My calendar
My calendar is generally jam packed.
I looked at the month of April and it is practically bare. The whole no working thing is weird. Quite possibly bad-weird.
On a brighter note, my calendar tonight is full. I’m going to Koi for dinner with colleagues.
WatchTumblr recently made a huge deal about this guy called Gary Vaynerchuck now being on tumblr and I ignored the whole thing because I detest having advertising rammed down my throat. Then Mary posted this video on her blog and I decided to watch for just a minute. No more than a minute. Time is precious, you know? Anyway, I watched the whole thing - because (a) what he says is true (in my...
