Why stick deodorant fills me with rage!
If you follow me on Instagram you may have witnessed my meltdown yesterday on my Instagram stories over deodorant. If you don’t follow me on Instagram, in a nutshell, I woke up, jumped in the shower, dried off (don’t worry you didn’t see any of that in my story) and then attempted to put on deodorant. No biggy. Only I couldn’t put on deodorant because as soon as I went to apply it, the deodorant crumbled and came away from the deodorant stick and landed all over my floor. I was frothing at the mouth and a stuttering mess who could barely get the words out I was so crazed. …

Living in Marijuanaville
If you follow me on Instagram (and if you aren’t, then why aren’t you?) you will be aware that over the last 12 months I have become obsessed with gardening. When I’m not in the garden, I am reading about gardening, visiting garden centres and making plans for my garden. My neighbours on either side have beautiful gardens and a combination of over 250 years of life and garden experience between them (basically they are impressively old). They are my garden Wikipedia.

(very sweet) So what happened?

Naked News
It’s been a busy couple of weeks and I have been a little slack with the blog. I’m pretty sure I have been slowly coming out of a Lobster Roll induced post-holiday, coma. Who would have thought that you can actually get sick of eating lobster? Sitting in my drafts folder I am midway through doing a post about our Martha’s Vineyard trip, in its current state, it is the size of a small novel and not wanting to put people in the land of zzz’s I will end up breaking it down and into smaller multiple posts. What’s been happening and keeping me OFF the streets?

Things I’m loving this week
The ATO and The CRA This week I’m loving the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) and the CRA (Canadian Revenue Agency). Weird right and not something you hear often, someone actually loving two of the most hated government agencies. Having previously been a small business owner the ATO would often be a name muttered under my breath along with several expletives in the same sentence. What has brought on this sudden love fest?

First love
Love is in the air at our place and all those extra pheromones aren’t coming from The Canadian. No, they are oozing out of the 9-year-old and his new lady friend Siri, apple’s virtual voice activated assistant.
