Best Husband

It's always a good start to the day when an unexpected present arrives. It's even better when it's the best present ever from the best husband ever!

Every now and then Owen will surprise me with something I've been wanting for a while. We'd talked about getting one of these before, and I can't believe he managed to track one down!

And what is this amazing present?

A marshmallow shooter!

This short clip might make things a bit clearer:

 

Right, I'm off to the supermarket to buy some mini marshmallows!

Dog Shaming

When Owen and I got back from dinner last night we wondered why the dog was waiting for us inside the house when she'd been outside when we left.

It didn't take long to figure out what had happened...

The neighbours were letting off fireworks which must have scared her enough to try to get into the house any way possible. She was so pleased with herself and we couldn't help but laugh!

After cleaning up the glass Owen took some photos so we can send one to Dog Shaming. She looks really sad in this photo, but it must be one of the only ones where she doesn't have a big smile on her face!

Out Takes

It was really hard to put together the last few photos for our video because I kept having hysterical laughing fits!

Pizza Roulette

In the weekend Owen and I went round to Kristan's house for dinner. We ordered pizza and were feeling brave so decided to try pizza roulette. This means that hot sauce is added to only one piece of pizza, and nobody has any idea which one.

And when I say hot sauce, I mean the hottest hot sauce you can imagine - the type that keeps getting worse even when you've stopped eating, the type that makes your eyes water and your nose run, the type that makes your lips burn and your mouth go a bit numb, the type that is made worse by drinking water (but you try doing it anyway).

How do I know? I lost!

Weird Dreams

I often have pretty strange dreams (like these!) and these would have to be some of the weirdest:

I'm not sure what I was doing in outer space, and I'm really not sure why my grandma was with me, but something went terribly wrong and we were somehow ejected from the space craft. And then we exploded (as you do!)

2
Probably the most disturbing dream I've had, I discovered that my palm was hollow and full of cobwebs since there were spiders living inside. I'm not usually bothered my spiders but in this case I definitely was!

In a recent dream I found out that the world was about to end. The thing I was most worried about? That I was going to lose my blog since it was only backed up on earth. I think that this month of daily blogging is starting to mess with my head...

Quarter Past Silly

You know how to be silly
That's why I like you
Boy are you ever silly
I never met anybody sillier than me till I met you
I like you because you know when it's time to stop being silly
Maybe day after tomorrow
Maybe never
Too late, it's a quarter past silly!

- from "I Like You" by Sandol Stoddard Warburg

Our friend Raewyn read this poem at our wedding, and this is my favourite verse - mostly because it's true! In honour of Valentines Day I thought I'd share some of the silly things that Owen and I get up to...

• Making up crazy dances, like the Dinosaur
• Nose licking competitions
• Lots of play fighting (the dog always wants to get involved too)
• Slapping da bass, mon
• Pretending we can read the minds of the cat and dog and narrating what they think
• Making up ridiculous nicknames, like Scuzz Rocket
• Excessively quoting from our favourite movies
• Communicating in cat noises

What shenanigans do you get up to with you significant other?

Good Start to the Weekend

Our dog may be strange but she's also entertaining!

I don't have any plans for the rest of the weekend at the moment but might go to the market to visit the cheese monger, finish reading a book or two, maybe do a little writing (maybe), and challenge my favourite person to a wrestling match for the title of champion of the world. You know, the usual.

Little Feet

Last night I went ten pin bowling with some friends. My feet are so small that I had to wear children size bowling shoes. With velcro.
