• Bloganuary – If you had a million US dollars, how would you spend it?

  I don’t remember if it was a MILLION or a BILLION dollars – and there’s obviously a HUGE difference there (ahahahahaa!) but for now, let’s go with the ‘smaller’ amount so I don’t have an anxiety attack. Haha. What I would do with a MILLION US DOLLARS – About 2 Million Aussie dollars – is…

• Bloganuary – What’s a treasure that’s been lost?

  Woah. Today’s #Bloganuaryprompt hit me right in the feels. Ooft. What is a treasure that’s been lost? Well. I’ve lived in over 27 houses and probably 10-20 “dwellings” on top of that…so I’ve lost a lot of my possessions over the years just through moving so bloody much. Something gets lost. Something gets left behind.…

• Home after the Dentist

  One of the WORST moments of my ENTIRE life was when I was leaving a Dentist’s office after having a tooth taken out. My cheek was swollen and my whole jaw felt as if it was being repeatedly bashed by someone with a baseball bat and a bad temper. Crying, I signed the medical bill,…
