In the spirit of insomnia here's a list of some of my late-night ponderings and be warned, Miz scored a new mega-huge, fancy pants dictionary for Xmas, and she isn't afraid to use it (that is how i know ponderation is actually a word).
Proclaimation....
Sometimes you can want a particular object/objective for aeons but when you finally get it, you realise it is nothing like you imagined it would be. In fact you don't want it at all. Leaves you wondering why you wasted all that time.
Observation....
No matter how hard I try to avoid it, chances are I am going to turn into my Mum. If in no other way than being the person my children roll their eyes at. If they only knew. Still I will take some consolation knowing that will happen to them too!
Ponderation......
Can someone please tell me how i can get Carrie Bradshaw's life? The woman writes a piddly little column for some second-rate newspaper, and she does it from home! I'd be interested to know the hourly rate in that line of work. It must be fairly lucrative because the lady is always shopping, socialising, dating, dining out and meeting heaps of cute men. I already to all of these things (except for the cute men bit) unfortunately no one pays me to be Miz Murasaki.......yet.
For crying out loud, how much time does she actually spend writing that column anyway? And, don't get me started on the woman's inability to match bra to clothing. If i was dressed from head to toe in designer clothing, I'd sure as hell be able to find the right bra.
Proclaimation....
Capitalism is a bitch. As eary as January 4 consumers were able to buy hot cross buns from one of the "big stupidmarkets". I don't know about you but we were still eating Xmas leftovers at our house.
Mao wouldn't have put up with that kind of crap.
Observation.....
Women spend an extraordinary amount of time and money on looking good. As a matter of fact, we do some pretty wild stuff, and put ourselves out enormously in order to look good. We don't complain, and even though we know it's madness we still do it. Do not be fooled into thinking we do it in order to please men, that is a fallacy. We do it to impress other women.
Ponderation....
What am I supposed to do with my son's teeth after the 'Tooth Fairy' has left him some cash? I just can't bring myself to throw it in the bin. Perhaps there is a blackmarket for this kind of thing.
Proclaimation.....
Tattoos, childbirth and waxing hurt. You can only get an epidural for one of these.
Observation....
Boys may not get an attitude until they are about six. This is only because they have started school and are associating with other boys. In contrast, girls have attitude from the day they are born, you just don't notice it straightaway because they are babies. Its not wind, its 'tude. Trust me. The ones that are cute and smart have it even easier, case in point my daughter Miss Madam Pants. People wonder why they turn into Princess Bitchfaces once they hit their teens. Well derr- they've been practicing since birth.
Ponderation.....
In the Hindu religion cows are sacred. Does that mean if you call a Hindu a cow, they take it as a compliment?
Proclaimation....
'Shopping Theory' When you've got cash to spend, there's nothing to buy. When you're broke and just going for a look, there is heaps of cool stuff. You know it's true.
Observation....
Wedges of fresh lemon are only palatable after Tequila shots. Why is this so?
Ponderation....
With the increasing popularity of boob jobs and permanent hair removal, will the next generation of Grannies all have gravity defying breastessess and be smooth and hairless down there? Who cares, if it feels good do it.
This Week I love,
- Miz loves the New Year. This may come as a shock, seeing as how I am not at all sentimental, but Miz Murasaki loves the New Year. It's probably due to the fact that I am a control freak, and I always keep my resolutions. I do not however, refer to them as resolutions, that would be a bit naff. Miz Murasaki has plans, aims and goals.
- My brand new, fancy pants dictionary. I am a word nerd afterall.
- My other blog, Babushkas Boilin' Bunnies. Have you checked it out yet?
- Getting back to the gym after the silly season break. Sweat out the booze, and feel alive! Apparently it's better than drugs....apparently.
- Paying in kind. When one creative gal makes some cute things and gives one to a creative girlfriend, and then said girlfriend makes some cute things and gives one to first creative gal. Lets face it, who's going to appreciate it more than your girlfriend(s)? Because I used my Roller Derby obsession for good and made some little badges, Miz Murasaki is now the proud owner of some cute little handmade hairpins. Thanks Katkins!
- Speaking of creative ladies, this week Miz has been enjoying Bjork all over again. Friendly Fires have also been serenading me while I work, party, read and lie about.
