Lady loves…

* Sunday afternoons spent with my favourite girl on Brunswick Street, cafe hopping for hours.

* Pale tights. White, cream, pale pink… it’s all about pale tights this winter.

* The arrival of cold weather. I love snuggling down in my bed under layers of heavy blankets with a hot water bottle. Sigh!

* Crawling home yesterday and feeling utterly wretched only to have Roomy Smaggle make me a pot of special Japanese feel good tea. I love her.

* Plucking my eyebrows. Virgos love that clean face thing.

* Alec Baldwin. I’m having a serious 30 Rock addiction right now and it’s all about Alec. Although, after Team America I have major problems not saying ‘Arec Baldren’.

* Learning gem setting. I’m utterly rubbish at it but it’s oddly therapeutic.

* Buying plants. I have a plan to turn my house into a jungle.

Lady loathes…

* Chrysanthemums and the tacky florists that insist on pimping them every Mother’s Day. ‘I love you Mum. Here’s a bouquet of mucus coloured blossoms that look like tissues!’. Note to said tacky florists, writing ‘ChrysantheMUMS!’ is not clever. It makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

* How clumsy I am. I spilled vegetable juice on the floor, stabbed myself with a file, tripped over the lounge room rug and burnt 50% of the hair off my left arm…. today. That’s why I’m always shocked whenever a misguided person calls me graceful.

* Finally having my own bookshelf, placing all my Frankie magazines in a row and realising I’m missing number 33. If anyone isn’t anal retentive like I am and has a spare Frankie number 33 lying around… I love you long time!

Love Lady Smaggle

    Oh Lady Smaggle! I will have a hunt for issue 33 of Frankie. My sister & I just moved in together so have duplicates of pretty much everything.

    Oh I love the feeling of having cleanly plucked brows – good call

    Oh poo bum. I just looked in my bookshelf and I have 30 and 32 but no 33. It could be in my bedroom though. I’ll check over the weekend.

    Have a lovely weekend! x

    I’m with you on the Mother’s day thing. I also hate how all the dvd and book shops flog the mumsy chick flicks. Just because I’m a mother doesn’t mean I want to watch The Notebook or anything with Meg Ryan in it.

    ChrysantheMUMS isn’t as bad as wooden roses.
    Every single time an ‘event’ comes up like Valentines Day, Mothers Day etc etc, at Westfield they always have these stalls selling big bunches of wooden flowers. Who the hell wants to get given a wooden rose?!

    If anyone ever buys me a wooden rose, I will snap it across their head, hahaha. x

    good to hear you’re enjoying a plethora of blankets, I’m pretty sure Mr smaggle was freezing here the last few nights (he won’t admit it though). x

    my darling smaggle, I have issue 33, but, unfortunately I am also anal retentive and cannot part with it. But it made me realise I am missing 27 & 28. damn damn damn!!
