Mama's Cup: 12/01/2014 - 01/01/2015

Saturday, December 13, 2014. SPOILER ALERT: If you are one of the grandparents of the Not So Little One, please stop reading now, lest you spoil your Christmas surprise.). While creating this year’s holiday photo books for the Not So Little One’s grandparents (Mom, Dad, I told you to stop reading! I realized something; as I was carefully sorting images from the past 11 or so months – photos of her hiking, climbing, exploring, and breaking a board in her TaeKwonDo class like a BOSS, I noticed it. It’...

Mama's Cup: Snack Time Snafu
http://www.mamascup.com/2011/04/snack-time-snafu.html
Friday, April 8, 2011. Last week, the Little One and I headed out for a playdate. With friends. I told her to pack up the toys she wanted to bring, usually an assortment of microscopic animal figures and their molecule-sized accessories, most of which have a nasty habit of finding their way into my vacuum. Diligently and using very good 'listening ears,' she collected her pea-sized possessions. "I'm ready! After I had my " aww. A few cheese sticks maybe, and some goldfish, sure. I'd just take a peek ...

Mama's Cup: 03/01/2015 - 04/01/2015
http://www.mamascup.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. I cannot believe that I am sitting down at my computer about to write what I'm about to write:. My bright, hilarious, inquisitive, soulful, beautiful eight-year-old daughter says she is fat. And she's not just saying she's fat. Tonight, she tried to stop eating her dinner, for fear of getting "fatter." She was poking at her "fat" belly as she got into the shower. She told me her skin is "wobbly.". She called herself ugly. And it was then that I felt my heart crack a little. But ho...

About – Writing Resumed
https://writingresumed.wordpress.com/about
Exactly what the title says. Well after being away from blogging just a few days short of a whole year I am back. Nobody missed me I’m sure. But I’m going to blog anyway just because I can. Bonus points for me if anyone actually reads any of it. Because I was too lazy and uninspired to write anything else, the above is what you got if you wanted to read about me. But it is time to update it a bit. I’ve since made some big changes in my life and here I am, trying to blog again. I say try only be...Books, ...

Go Get Her Jet Setter – Writing Resumed
https://writingresumed.wordpress.com/2014/08/23/go-get-her-jet-setter
Exactly what the title says. Go Get Her Jet Setter. My life and I. The other night He Man treated me to dinner. We went to a local place for steaks and, because I was feeling pretty good about life in general, I indulged in a cocktail. Called a Jet Setter, it consisted of whiskey, ginger liqueur, pineapple juice and ginger ale. It arrived in a tall glass and was a beautiful golden colour – the exact shade of hair colour I would want if I ever decided to go blonde. Alas, it was a very short block and then...

He Said – Writing Resumed
https://writingresumed.wordpress.com/2013/06/29/he-said
Exactly what the title says. A few of us are going down to the pub after work, he said. Join us, he said. I hesitated for a moment. I suspected that a few of use would turn out to be just him. I hesitated a moment more. Sure, I said, see you there. Everyone left at five. I stayed, I waited. I didn’t want to seem to be too eager. The pub was mostly empty. He was alone at the bar. The few hadn’t made it or had left already. I sat down. He smiled again. We said nothing for a while, awkward. Fill in your det...

Lucky Catch – Writing Resumed
https://writingresumed.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/lucky-catch
Exactly what the title says. In Me, my life and I. Once inside the house I removed my bra, as I think all women do at the end of a long day. There nested in the cups were the butterfly and stud respectively. Disaster averted thankfully as the only successful way to wear the lone earring is to pair it with a mullet. And nobody wants that trend back again. Go Get Her Jet Setter. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:. Books, I read (1).

Fourth of July – Writing Resumed
https://writingresumed.wordpress.com/2013/07/05/fourth-of-july
Exactly what the title says. In Me, my life and I. Monday, Tuesday and even Wednesday are a blur but only because Thursday nearly ended me. Thursday started out well enough. At least I think it did, I don’t really remember. I remember though that it got shittier as the day went by. I didn’t realise how shitty till I was driving home when it was late and dark and I started crying. Not a good thing to do in traffic when you need to keep your wits about you to make it home alive. Someone I once knew was fon...

About These Things – Writing Resumed
https://writingresumed.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/about-these-things
Exactly what the title says. In BA - Bietjie van Alles. Me, my life and I. I finally understand the need for Sunday afternoon naps. I finally take Sunday afternoon naps. There was this other thing that I thought of in the car on my drive to work but I can’t remember what it is now. But it was awesome and eloquent, I remember that. My friend, who is 10 years older than me, has given me a birthday present. My birthday is in June. Maybe I should open my present now in case I don’t make it to June. You are c...

Face Off – Writing Resumed
https://writingresumed.wordpress.com/2011/10/29/face-off
Exactly what the title says. In Playing Nice Together. I threatened, I promised, I hoped and finally I did. It was something that I have wanted to do for the longest time and now, with a little nudge from He Man, it is done. And now, no more. Instead tonight I will spend my time with real people; talking with real people, laughing with real people, having a good time with real people. And I am really looking forward to it.
