If you tag me, I will write

mimbles

Apparently I feel compelled to respond when tagged. A. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.B. Tag eight people. Don’t refuse to do that. Don’t tag who tagged you. 01. What are your nicknames?Mim, mimbles, Mims, sex kitten (sorry, way TMI, and besides, I HATE him saying that) 02. How do you style your hair?Hair is supposed to have style? 03.

I’m eccentric and interesting

mimbles

At my 20 year school reunion a few weeks back I was told by a friend, whom I hadn’t seen in all those 20 years, that she remembered me as an eccentric and interesting person. Then she asked how I was. So I answered “Still eccentric and interesting!” because I am witty and original like that. No, really, I am (eccentric and interesting that is, not witty and original, that was a lie). I shall prove it to you. Liz has tagged me with the seven random or weird facts meme which seems the perfect way to make my case. … Continue reading I’m eccentric and interesting

Never do anything by halves

mimbles

Or even just plain old wholes apparently. Somehow NaBloPoMo’s 30 posts in 30 days turned into 41 posts in 30 days. What can I say? Once you’re floundering for something of interest to post pretty much anything starts to look post-worthy! It’s been fun, I’ve found new blogs to read and I’ve spent way too much time sitting on the lounge with my laptop on my knee and the dog cuddled up against my leg and there’s been a whole heap of new traffic here in my little corner of the net. It’s been lovely to “meet” those of you … Continue reading Never do anything by halves

Adam has terrible taste in movies

mimbles

I’ve been sitting here trying to read blogs while Adam watches 10,000 BC. My god it’s awful. Actually I’m not sure why he’s watching at all given that every so often I’m hearing him exclaim about the variously stupid things happening on screen. I suppose I should be grateful that at least it’s a DVD so I’m not also being subjected to ad breaks. He’s just offered the criticism “they’ve got very good teeth…” Continue reading Adam has terrible taste in movies

Getting ready

mimbles

I’ve spent the last few weeks responding to every hint of Christmas – decorations in shops, carol singing kids at the breakfast table, request from Adam for fruit mince pies (he ended up cooking his own) – by growling “it’s not December yet!” in true bah humbug fashion. But come Monday it will be December and that means there’s a whole bunch of Stuff To Do this weekend. As I mentioned, we’ve done barely any Christmas shopping, so tonight is list writing time and the plan is to be up and out bright and early tomorrow morning for a bit … Continue reading Getting ready
