Drinking : Lots of coffee.
Reading: Monica Lewinsky – Culture of Humiliation – Vanity Fair

Looking: At my newly formed wrinkles. I gotta start taking care of my skin.
Playing: Around with podcasting because I want to do more of that on the blog.
Deciding: How to spend a Friday night with a soccer bye (we Friday night soccer mums deserve MEDALS, it’s cold and there’s no wine).
Wishing: I could get paid a motza to blog in my pj’s all day.
Enjoying: Friendship
Waiting: For the faceless people of the superannuation companies to release our funds.
Liking: The dumplings at our local Japanese.
Wondering: What if?
Loving: Sleep ins.
Pondering: Choices and chances, the big lottery of life.
Considering: The future.
Watching: True Detective.
Hoping: A decent income magically appears in my life.

Noticing: Kindness.
Knowing: The little things matter.
Thinking: Too much.
Feeling: Sad
Admiring: My daughters.
Sorting: The study. Who am I kidding it’s actually a junk room and I just look at it for a while, move a few items around and give up in despair, EVERY DAY.
Buying: Myself flowers.
Getting: RSI ’cause I’m blogging from bed.
Bookmarking: The Design Files because I like to torture myself with images of stunning homes, fully aware my home will never attain that level of immaculate presentation while ever we are so chronically untidy.

Hi Janet, glad you were able to take stock with us. (BWP) I think you should stop listening to All of me, because I always tear up when I hear that song. Glad you are finding some kindness..love the idea of a bookstore/art gallery, haven’t had dumplings for ages!!
Shell says
Love this post Jeanie, great idea. Cleaning the mess can wait. Sit in the pj’s a wee bit longer then have a glass of wine, its friday and happy hour somewhere in the world. 🙂 Can’t wait till you open your gallery, I’ll have to put in a tender to hang my photos. Anything is possible matie and if anyone can make it happen you can. xoxoxo 🙂 PS Would you like my extra scorpio venom to add to yours next time dealing with the faceless super peeps it’s on offer xo 🙂

hello there! my folks looked into owning a bookstore and found it is very hard to make any revenue from them. keep dreaming! you are so unique and have such a wonderful viewpoint of life, i bet you could make it work. right now, i’m procrastinating, so off i go. time to get some work done. hope you find a little joy in your day (and i’m sending sunshine. it’s cloudy now, but summer here.)
Chrystina says

Janine says
