# Top 5: Birthday resolutions
My 30th birthday is now less than a week away. *ug* As adulthood looms large on the horizon, it’s probably time to get my shit together…
I will:
1. Break my addiction to caffeine.
You know you’re a grown-up when ‘getting smashed’ means moving from café to café sucking down expressos! However, 10 cups [...]

# Top 5: Signs you’re missing your partner
Pining, thy name is woman. I’ve been missing my partner of late (long-distance relationships SUCK by-the-way!). There are a few tell-tale signs when one isn’t coping…
1. Wearing his T-shirt.
Secretly squirelling away a worn T-shirt is a lover’s prerogative. There’s something warm and truly comforting about snuggling into bed [...]
They’re called ‘Ex’s’ for a reason

FaceBook, it seems, can be used for evil, as well as good.
‘Cyber bullying’ has been getting a fair bit of coverage in the media. This week, I had my own little run-in with cyber-sledging. I received the following message from my Ex-husband’s female cousin on FaceBook:
I was seaching…[for someone else]… on facebook and came across [...]

I cooked something this week, and it tasted great!
Forgive my surprise; but I’m quite proud of myself. I’m not a natural in the kitchen by any stretch of the imagination, so I’m pretty pleased with myself (and equally surprised) that it turned out so well!
I was delighted with it. Good food, delicious, easy to cook, [...]

‘Top 5 Faves’.
It’s a concept inspired by (read: ’shamlessly plagiarised from’) my boyfriend Dan and his use of the ‘Top 5′ lists in his newspaper. Pushed over-the-edge by an unfulfilling job, a wandering mind and a social nature, I’m randomly sharing my ‘Top 5′ everything with you… Feel free to respond with yours via ‘comments’.

That ol’ black magic

Yes, yes, I’m still here. Thanks for the emails. I’ll do a proper post tonight.
My 2-Minute-noodles took 10 minutes to be ready at lunchtime today.
It’s a microcosm of the sort of week I’m having… The little black dog is nipping at my heels this week. Life seems like too much effort. It’s been hard to get [...]
Suddenly 30… (now what?)

FARK.
Many birthdays seem to take forever to approach (10, 18 and 21 come to mind!). Many fly by unnoticed. Some though, ambush you when you least expect it; like a smack over the head with a blunt instrument. A poignant reminder of how little you have become. The unrealised potential of one’s life slipping rapidly [...]

‘…You put your left foot in…. you take your left foot out…’
Can a relationship survive when one party is more committed to a relationship than the other? In my book, there are two schools of thought on this issue:
# Theory one: Is there any other sort?
Is a match ever TRULY a partnership? Isn’t one of [...]

Well, why the hell not?
Whom amongst us hasn’t occasionally wished their was a catologue from which to choose our next date?
Scoff with distain all you want, but meeting online is no more tacky, (and is perhaps a little less random), than being slobbered over in a pub. You can spot the knukkle dragging neanderthal yobs [...]
