Mali's A to Z: January 2009
http://maliatoz.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Mali's A to Z. Musings on life, alphabetically. Tuesday, 6 January 2009. Everything must come to an end, and my explorations of the alphabet are over. I realised when X was for Xmas, that I had plumbed new depths. Z was also proving somewhat of a challenge, so it is time for something new. Join me over at A Separate Life. Monday, 5 January 2009. Saturday, 3 January 2009. I’d like to end the procrastination. I’m sick of being scared of heights too. Note to consider hypnotherapy – especiall...Weight loss&#...

Mali's A to Z: V = Vintage
http://maliatoz.blogspot.com/2008/12/v-vintage.html
Mali's A to Z. Musings on life, alphabetically. Wednesday, 10 December 2008. Five years ago, I had a doctor who kept referring to “women of your vintage.” I felt like a wine that was souring, turning into vinegar, appropriately barren. He was trying to be considerate, but it would have been kinder if he had just been blunt. Vintage. There’s a lot in a word. And in five years. This post makes me very, very happy. Thank you! 11 December 2008 at 5:40 AM. 11 December 2008 at 6:11 AM. I think I'm corked.

Mali's A to Z: The End
http://maliatoz.blogspot.com/2009/01/end.html
Mali's A to Z. Musings on life, alphabetically. Tuesday, 6 January 2009. Everything must come to an end, and my explorations of the alphabet are over. I realised when X was for Xmas, that I had plumbed new depths. Z was also proving somewhat of a challenge, so it is time for something new. Join me over at A Separate Life. I will drop by after work. Looking forward to it! 7 January 2009 at 1:55 AM. Me too - whatever you write about is bound to be exotic and exciting. 7 January 2009 at 6:29 AM.

Mali's A to Z: X = Xmas
http://maliatoz.blogspot.com/2008/12/x-xmas.html
Mali's A to Z. Musings on life, alphabetically. Wednesday, 17 December 2008. 25 Things about Christmas. Have done this, so having little im. Agination, I am following suit. I also cringe a little at using X for Xmas but I figure I can have a little leeway with only three letters left. 1 Wrapping paper or gift bags? I like beautiful wrapping paper, but invariably baulk at the price! 2 Real tree or Artificial? Artificial. I love the smell of real pine, but I have allergies . sigh. 5 Do you like eggnog?

Mali's A to Z: W = Wronged and Windows
http://maliatoz.blogspot.com/2008/12/w-wronged-and-windows.html
Mali's A to Z. Musings on life, alphabetically. Wednesday, 17 December 2008. W = Wronged and Windows. I’ve decided to do two Ws today, as once I get to Z I think it will be the end of my A to Z. On a brighter note . A split second glimpse through a window, in the midst of a rushed day, a busy life, stops me. I breathe. And I smile. In all weathers and in all lights, I love the views from my windows. I love the grand old macrocarpa trees from the top of the stairs,. 18 December 2008 at 6:07 AM. A year ins...

Mali's A to Z: U = Underwear
http://maliatoz.blogspot.com/2008/12/u-underwear.html
Mali's A to Z. Musings on life, alphabetically. Monday, 8 December 2008. Some years ago when I was going through a difficult time, a friend suggested I go out and buy myself some sexy underwear. At the time, sexy was the last thing I felt like. It was feeling sexy that had caused all this trouble, after all! But one day I did as she suggested. And although it took me a while to feel sexy again, I did feel. B) more feminine (which was particularly important at the time). C) more beautiful, and. Oh my God:...

Mali's A to Z: P = Procrastination
http://maliatoz.blogspot.com/2008/11/p-procrastination.html
Mali's A to Z. Musings on life, alphabetically. Saturday, 15 November 2008. Procrastination is an art form, and I long since graduated from apprentice to journeyman to master. Unfortunately I am also married to a master. Perhaps together we have encouraged each other to refine and hone our skills to this level of performance, and I only have myself to blame. But there are times when it frustrates me. Drives me crazy, in fact. Summer is almost here. We have a half built project. But D is procrastinating.

Mali's A to Z: S = Slice
http://maliatoz.blogspot.com/2008/12/s-slice.html
Mali's A to Z. Musings on life, alphabetically. Monday, 1 December 2008. Just before I got married, the women of the rural district where I grew up threw me a “kitchen tea.” This meant that everyone did some beautiful baking. The gifts they gave were small, intended for the kitchen. Tea towels and can openers, cake tins and spatulas. All sorts of gadgets. Mrs C ( Peter. 8220;You don’t have any carrots for me to test this on,” I said to the stall-holder. I couldn’t wait to get home. The stall-ho...I love ...

Mali's A to Z: July 2008
http://maliatoz.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Mali's A to Z. Musings on life, alphabetically. Tuesday, 29 July 2008. A year is a long time when you’re 17. I went through a lot. It was not easy. The loneliness, the effort every day to perform, adapt, adjust. The utterly alien nature of the people, the surroundings, the life I was leading. Mentally, the stress was huge. There was nowhere I could just be me. I could not behave like that with my Thai family, my new friends, my new school. I was “on” all the time. I wanted to reach out. I wanted to see t...
