Lady’s loves and loathes…
by Carly Jacobs
Lady loves…
* Weekends of bliss – eating sushi, holding Mr Smaggle’s hand, movies, market shopping… sigh!
* Afternoon naps.
* Shamefully… Degrassi the New Generation. It’s so bad it’s delicious.
* Mineral water. Always.
* Going for runs on my lunch break… it means I can come straight home after school instead of going to the gym.
* My students. Last week I was teaching them emotions. I was giving them a scenario that might make them use their ‘angry face’. I said ‘What about when you come from school and you’re REALLY hungry and you go to the cupboard to get a muesli bar and the box is empty? Does that make you angry?’. One of my students (autistic) shouted ‘I HATE WHEN THERE’S NO MUESLI BARS!!!!!’. It was awesome.
* Feeling well again. I don’t do sick.
* My new clogs. Totally cute and OH&S approved footwear for the workshop. I heart Funkis.
Lady loathes…
* Jewellery techniques that aren’t formulaic. I love strict recipes, time limits and specific instructions. Comments like ‘just chuck it in some acid and take it out right before it explodes’ don’t sit so well with me.
* Waiting. For toilets, to be served, for trains to arrive, for people to arrive. I hate waiting.
* Not being able to do theatre. I just can’t commit to the seasons because I live between two cities. I’m starting to go a little nuts…
* Insomnia. I get it like once a year and I’m a total princess about it. Of all the mental ailments that I’m lucky enough to not be cursed with I truly believe that insomnia is the worst.
What about you pie? What do you love and loathe today?
Love Lady Smaggle
