My blog has a bug meaning I can’t upload new stuff on the side bars which means I can’t upload the fab FIFO mums business that I wanted to tell you about but I will get there eventually..I have been fluffing around with the last few hours with no result…but in the mean time here are the few things for this third week of August.
1. A computer is never more frustrating than when you have no freaking idea what you are doing. We (meaning me and the computer) have the same love hate relationship as me and the weekends…
2. Went shopping yesterday in the city…there were 5000 marines in town…When I was young Darwin was always full of marines and as I remember they were always up for some fun…watching them yesterday it seems nothing has changed…
3. It was actually a marine named Rodrigo that taught me on what ‘boys’ really liked in girls…and it wasn’t what I saw on the TV… I was 19 years old he was a little older at 22… We had just met on the dance floor and I will never forget him saying Debbie you shouldn’t behave like that after I had behaved in appropriately towards another young marine. Rodrigo walked me outside as I was leaving. I remember saying very confused why? We sat for a moment before parting (in my short red dress that I’m sure didn’t even cover my behind) when he said to me That’s not what boys want.. not good ones anyway and you deserve a good one. Very confused I said It wasn’t? Seemed like it was to me. he continued with ‘Value yourself Deb have more respect for yourself and do what makes you happy. Dont do something for the attention of a boy. Do that (respect yourself) and they will like you for it more”. So I did. I don’t remember anything else about him…what boat he was on…what his last name was…just that had a gorgeous smile, that his eyes talked and that we hung as just friends for ten days and danced every single night until the very early hours..
4. How do you spell KFC dad..?
5. Jessica Simpsons baby girl…here…how sweet is she?
6. Face book is no longer in with the cool kids…of course it isn’t I just got here…
7. Above and beyond the call of 911…
8. I brought the Cook Book by Rachel Koo the Little Paris Kitchen…just so I could make this and this…you can buy it from here and here..
9. Remember the boys from home improvement? Well here they are now…feel better? Thought so…
10. 50 things your kids must do before they are 11 3/4 years old..Climb a tree and go on a bike ride…how very disappointing that there is even a list…and but I suppose at least you get to keep track via a website (you know in case you double up on climbing a tree, bike riding or collecting bugs) and do them all and you get a reward..Sigh..No wonder we are in danger of having a world of soft wussy children who are unable to think without an electronic device attached to their right or left hand…
Well that’s it my sweets…how many things have you done on that list of 50? Did you need a list at all?
