The Wookie is out for the evening with his friend and I get an evening by myself to watch all of the bad American television that I want! So here I am, snuggled in bed with my laptop and a nice glass of red - A 2004 Pertaringa, McLaren Vale Understudy Cabernet Petit Verdot. […]

I can’t quite believe that this song came out 20 years ago. I even had the album (on cassette, naturally).
Edited: Sorry, but it was gone almost as quickly as I posted it. It was a live Rick Astley performance from 2006. And that will be the last video I […]

I think this is very nice. Gratitude is a very powerful thing and I think we all could benefit from expressing and experiencing it more than we do.
However, I am becoming cynical in my old age. Tonight, the Wookie and I were heading to a restaurant and joking about the bad service we […]

It’s been a slow, cold day. I forget that it gets this cold here. I have been drinking tea and listening to the most awesome rain come down all day. Our lawn is actually growing! Weeds, I know, but it’s not dirt and hay anymore.
I have been craving something other […]

I just found out that the Wookie and I got married on a special day. May 13 is Leonard Nimoy’s birthday!
We saw Spiderman 3 this weekend. Two hours of my life that I will never get back. What was with that ridiculous dance scene? I can’t remember the last […]

My friend Maggi had both of her legs amputated below the knee Wednesday.
I have been awaiting updates online from her husband and started to worry after 5 days of no word. This is stunning. On a positive note she is improving every day and thank god her kidneys and liver are doing better […]

Yum. Need I say more?

These are incredibly EASY to make. I have seen sausage rolls around since I arrived in Australia, but the Wookie won’t touch them. He is worried about the ‘mystery meat’ and I can’t say that I blame him.
Then one day we went to a party at his sister’s […]

The Wookie and I have been officially married for one whole year! I can’t quite believe that the time has just zipped by. We wanted to do something memorable, and seeing as how we may not stick around this hemisphere for much longer, we decided that a great thing to do was to see […]

Me: “Sweetheart, can you move that plate with the burger over to the empty counter, so it’s not piled on top of a mess, teetering on the brink of disaster?”
Wookie: “But I brought it over so that you could put the onions on top when they are done cooking”
Me: “Right, and that’s […]

I love Crazy Aunt Purl. Yes, she is hysterical and I live vicariously through her because I don’t think I will ever find a way to make it back to LA, unless I suddenly become Drunk, Divorced & Covered in Cat Hair
So I am reading her post from yesterday and almost had a heart […]
