In our kitchen, we have the world’s largest drawer.
Things that may – or may not – actually be in that drawer:
Old and new batteries, nicely mixed in with each other so you will never know which is which Lots and lots of sun glasses. And a set of 3D glasses. (WHY?) […]
I am hearing voices. It’s mostly one. And HOLY CRAPADOOLEY is she a bitch.
(What is a good bitch-name? Alexis? Yeah! I like “Alexis” for a bitch-name! It has all those prickly, pointy letters you could cut yourself on like ‘A’ and “L” and “I” and ‘X’… Wait – would it be full blown […]
Emil from Lonneberga is a small Swedish boy, who constantly gets himself into a world of trouble in Astrid Lindgren’s heartwarming books. He lives on a farm with his parents, sister, a witless milk maid and their farmhand – Alfred. Alfred is Emil’s best friend and they have each other’s back. It is Emil, who […]
It started in the car on the way home as I picked them up. The big one took the little one’s monkey and the little one showed the world his impressive new crying technique where he opens his mouth and makes a sound a firetruck would envy.
Home, they fought over the Legos. (“Waaaaahhhh!”)
Then the […]
Man, I was tired this morning. Once everybody was up and seated by their breakfasts, we realized that we had gotten up an hour early thanks to the 2-year old, who messed with our alarm clock yesterday. Having all the time in the world everybody took their sweet-ass time – with the consequence that we […]
Kim Yong Il: “I shall have a bite”.
Me: “Ok, well use your fork.”.
Kim Yong Il: “Waaaaah – NO – YOU DO IT!”
Me: “Ok-ok, calm down!”
Kim Yong Il: “NO – NOT THAT ONE!”
Me: “Is it this one?”
Kim Yong Il: “Yes”.
It falls off the fork.
Kim Yong Il: “WWWAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!”
Me: […]
I heard it said that a job application is like a love letter. You want to tell them about all the wonderful things you shall do together – not a whole lot about what you did with your last boyfriend. And your resume should reek of all the things you can do – again, not […]
Once, as me and my girlfriends were getting ready to go out for a night on the town, I recorded us on tape. As we tried on clothes, drank cheap white wine and applied vast amounts of mascara, my old tape recorder (Shut up, I AM that old!) caught every word.
I found that tape […]
Having company over? Need to whip up something that takes 5 minutes to make and will be ready to serve in, say 20 minutes?
Try these coconut macaroons. They’re delicious! These were made with the help of my 6-year old. Eggshells and all! That’s how easy it is!
You need:
50 g/1,8 Oz of butter […]
If you follow my blog regularly, you’ll know that I adore edible flowers. More than any other flower, I adore the violet. It comes out in March as if to tell the world that Spring is coming, it is petite and feminin and it has a wonderful aroma not to be found […]
Dinnertime.
Two-year old kid “shooting” at everyone with his fork, going: “Peeww – peewww – peeewww”
Hubby asks: “What are you doing?”
Kid, stating the obvious: “I’m saying ‘peww-peeww’!”
Duuuh!
