The Scribble Pad
The mental meanderings of a slightly loose screw
Thursday August 26 - Isn't the school vacation over
yet?
I love mychildren, but tell me again: exactly how
long does 10 weeks last? When can I get back to the novel?
Why does 10 weeks feel like 4 months?

Friday
August 20 - Why dump him?
If there was one thing that would make you kick a
man's ass to the kerb, what would it be? Infidelity? Dishonesty?
Cruelty?
Strangely enough, the first things to come to mind for me were smoking and...Dub
music!
Which probably just goes to show you how shallow I am. Or happy with my
man!

Thursday August 12 - Diet saboteurs
Trying to lose weight? Not everyone wants you to.
"
A
diet is like a war. But sometimes, the people you think should be your allies
are the very ones who remove the bullets from your gun and replace them with
mini-marshmallows."
Kick back and read the rest of my recent article in the Guardian here.

BONUS! If you land on my site and make my web hits an even 25,000, email
me! Yeah, there's a prize. No cheating!
Thursday August 5 - Brow barometer
It has occurred to me that my eyebrows are a barometer of how my life is going.
While the actual operation only takes 10 minutes, it takes an awful lot of
mental energy to haul my ass off to the salon, ergo, I only go when I have time
or it's getting critical.
So what happens is that when things are doing well, and I have all the time in
the world, my brows look great. When I'm rushed and harassed, they start
to look frowsy. And when my brows are all grown in? Well, that means
my life is going to hell in a handbasket.
Yeah, I had my brows done today. How'd you know?

Wednesday August 4th - Those who deserve to be
smitten
Dear God, please ask your children to stop wasting
their time (and mine) producing all those cheesy PowerPoint email forwards in
Your name. Ask them to cut it out with the bunnies and the clouds and the
rainbows, the dolphins and the eagles.
Tell them, I get it. You are great. But I
have work to do, and these emails don't
help. And if they don't stop, smite them! HARD!
