I thought that just for funsies on Halloween, I would share with you a story I was reminded of today while going through my Facebook memories. I think I might have shared this in a previous blogging life… Anyway, it was 2009 (BC – before children) and my family was visiting Hobart, Tasmania for a holiday. The main purpose was to catch up with my relatives. We travelled there often. Sometimes it was difficult to find accommodation for us all and my mum had found a seemingly charming house for us to stay in together as a group. Cute, right? The gorgeous verandah and balcony. The pretty garden. A new…

Throwback Thursday: Shake Your Ass – 21 Butt-Shakin’ Hits (it’s as great as it sounds).
The year was 2003. I was 19 years old. What a time to be alive. CDs were still a thing, although we were all “allegedly” already downloading many things illegally by then. Mr Unprepared was driving a green VS Holden Commodore and I was getting around in my first car – my mighty Nissan Pulsar (I called her Buzz). At some point that year, I decided that I needed some new music to travel with. In some kind of crazy departure from my usual taste in music at the time, I somehow stumbled across the Shake Your Ass compilation CD. It looked like something you’d find on a crappy rack…

Throwback Thursday: Ew. Toilet wine.
I think this photo was taken in the Cottesloe Hotel, otherwise known as “The Cott”, in 2008. Don’t quote me on the location, but yep. I was childless and constantly drunk on weekends and I took this photo for reasons I cannot remember (on account of being boozed up probably). I did caption it on Facebook as, “Ew. Toilet wine.” though. And so you know, it wasn’t mine. I just found it there. Who takes their wine to the toilet? Geez. Everyone knows you slam it down your throat first and then run (because you have to break the seal). And then you sit down on the loo and giggle…

Throwback Thursday: Getting married before social media.
The other day, I was looking in the back of the kitchen cupboard for some serving bowls I hadn’t used for a really long time (we should really have people over more often) and I stumbled upon an old cake container (the kind my mum used to have). I wondered why I still had it and opened it up. Inside were the beautiful sugar flowers from the top of our wedding cake (we got married in 2007). I’d forgotten I had them! They were in great condition, although a tiny bit faded. I was transported back in time and I am still impressed at how talented our cake lady was.…
