http://alia-cartwright.blogspot.com/2012/09/shamelessly-homesick.html
Live a life less ordinary. Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Now, nobody's sayin that Hill Country Texas is the Garden of Eden, but it's been a good home to us, to me -. And me kids, who am proud of! Cause every single one of them reminds me a little. of me.". In case you're wondering, this is NOT. Me This is Frank Gallagher, the Shameless lead character in the classic Brit hit show. We've all been a bit. Homesick at some point, right? Like your own (arse contoured) couch,. OK, so at the moment I am officially.

Across The Pond: wax that tash!
http://alia-cartwright.blogspot.com/2012/06/wax-that-tash.html
Live a life less ordinary. Wednesday, June 20, 2012. The first time I visited Houston, Texas, I fell in love with the countless walk-in beauty parlors, calling to me from every shopping mall I happened across. I couldn't believe how many there were - and how cheap it all was! The majority of these parlors are under Asian proprietorship, with an all Asian beautifying crew, and - let's face it - when it comes to servicing our weary bodies, Asians definitely beat the pants off the rest of us! And just like ...

Live a life less ordinary: "I'm just gettin' on a boat" : sound asleep and malaria dreams

Live a life less ordinary. Live a life less ordinary. Sunday, May 6, 2012. I'm just gettin' on a boat" : sound asleep and malaria dreams. Monday, 27th October 2003. 6:50 am: sound sleep and malaria dreams. Clapping my hands and echoing my father’s authority, I try encouraging him out of his morning slumber. 8220;Feet on the floor, feet on the floor! 8220;I’m up, I’m up! 8221; …….Not as many kisses as I’d thought! This means that as guests under his roof; there is nothing for Daniel and me to do after dar...

Live a life less ordinary: South America to Scotland on a guitar string!
http://livealifeless.blogspot.com/2012/07/south-america-to-scotland-on-guitar.html
Live a life less ordinary. Live a life less ordinary. Tuesday, July 10, 2012. South America to Scotland on a guitar string! When I first cast eyes on my hubby he was singing. A Hard Day's Night. By the Beatles, strumming on his guitar and sporting a suit topped off with a red Santa hat. Well, alright, that's not strictly true. If you've read A Darwinian Love Affair. We now have a Beatles poster of that same track hanging on our bedroom wall. I was a wannabe groupy from the get-go. Half way through th...

Live a life less ordinary: A Darwinian Love Affair
http://livealifeless.blogspot.com/2012/05/darwinian-love-affair.html
Live a life less ordinary. Live a life less ordinary. Tuesday, May 8, 2012. A Darwinian Love Affair. For those of you that haven't already heard the tale of how I met my husband, here's a little love story about a hippy hobo and a lost lady destined for love. Dan gigging in Quito, 2003. Dan and Jo, H.V.H. Quito, 2003. Mark's arrival put an end to further discovery, and he was surprised and perhaps a little disappointed to have last night's singer in our midst once again. The flight was not seat alloc...

Across The Pond: Baby one, two, three - shower me!
http://alia-cartwright.blogspot.com/2012/07/baby-one-two-three-shower-me.html
Live a life less ordinary. Sunday, July 1, 2012. Baby one, two, three - shower me! For the past four years, I've been suffering from a pretty bad case of 'The lady doth protest too much! It's partly personality driven - I'm sure - but I put a huge part of my reluctance to be showered with baby gifts at a party thrown in my honor as cultural. I guess it's all part and parcel to that poultry idiom 'Don't count your chickens before they hatch! I was first introduced to a baby shower in the sitcom Friend's, ...

Across The Pond: Losing my religion
http://alia-cartwright.blogspot.com/2012/04/losing-my-religion.html
Live a life less ordinary. Tuesday, April 3, 2012. I admit this angle shows great business acumen for the South, and her artwork - beneath the scriptures and such - was beautiful. She definitely knows her audience, which I then realized, I obviously don't. Her blog and lifework is dedicated to worship of the Good Lord and so it can't all be just an angle. My kindred spirit is obviously an avid worshiper much like her customers. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I don't actually know what that means&...

Across The Pond: Oh I do like to be beside the seaside
http://alia-cartwright.blogspot.com/2012/06/oh-i-do-like-to-be-beside-seaside.html
Live a life less ordinary. Wednesday, June 13, 2012. Oh I do like to be beside the seaside. If I had to pick the one thing I miss most of all about living in the United Kingdom, it would have to be the ever present close proximity to the sea! When I lived back across on the other side of the pond I never fully realized I was living on an island. Which were supplied by us - the mainland. I was forgetting that so many of our food and fuel and other vital supplies were being shipped in to us also. A tad bit...

Across The Pond: Daddies Freakin' Out!
http://alia-cartwright.blogspot.com/2012/08/daddies-freakin-out.html
Live a life less ordinary. Saturday, August 4, 2012. A smattering of our deck squatters! For many months now we've had squatters - hundreds of them - sleeping outside up in rafters of the deck. Despite my aversion to creepy-crawlies - especially ones found in Texas - these long limbed spider-like daddies I kind of dig! My imagination had me dreaming up scenarios where thousands of these daddy long-legs would pack hunt the poisonous pests and gobble them up leaving no trace. This year they're everywhere!
