Closing in on amber

sometimes i just want to scream Convention.

maybe she was right after all.

***

the little things surprise me, like how extremely girly i become when stuck in a car with a bug. 

doubt the friend was very impressed with the whimpering wuss sitting beside him, feet up, rumpled tissues in hand and a plan-to-squish in mind.

urk.

in my defense…

actually, no, wait.

there is no defense.

*waves white flag*

i asserted authority today when i caught two kids scaling the alice smith fences.

let’s just say they won’t be hurdling any more fences any time soon.

twelve o’clock conversations:

t: there’s only one problem with you.

me: and what’s that.

t: you make us sit down when we eat. other than that, you’re good *nods head in approval*.

that’s a year six compliment if i ever saw one.

After grimey white t’s

it’s been a marathon day at work with incompetence levels at an all time high.

but it’s hard to stay frazzled when:

1)  you have cartel and the fold turned up loud while your sister parades her retail purchases of the day (and incidently, looks super good).  skinny chica. bah.

2)  you re-read encouraging smses from friends who, by some sixth sense, just know you need a pick-me-up.

3)  you remember the victorious glee of using a shaky tooth as an excuse to shut a hyper-active chatter-box up. a whole hour of silenced bliss. sigh.

4)  you get a brand new, bling bling michael kors top. woot.

5)  amongst the throng of rebellious, recalcitrant year sixers, there lies a glimmer of hope in boys like *t who restore my faith (and sanity) by standing up for what is good and right.

6)  you get your favourite international call and get to hear the unmistakable tooting of melbbie traffic lights in the background as he tries to multitask crossing roads while chatting. works like a charm. everytime.

Throwback

being so much in the familiar makes me want to crawl under the sheets and never have to leave.
