Stupid people

Am I getting more cynical or are people just getting more stupid?
This is a real question. I am really disliking everything & everyone. Seriously. Everyone is just erm, just so stupid.
Have all these people always been stupid or have I just realized it today? Is it the heat wave that is making everyone stupid? The hottest 100 countdown? The public holiday?
All I know for sure is its Australia Day & I encountered no racism so yay.
Still this issue of stupidity is still around. Maybe it will go away tomorrow. We can only hope so or I will be deleting my Facebook (again).

Bub bye meat

I have decided to be a vegetarian for (drum roll please) ONE WHOLE MONTH!! Oh yes.
I use to be one (more than once) but this is the first time I will do it with kids & a man. Though the man use to be a vegetarian as well. I told him he couldn't do it. Only because I think the kids still need meat & I'm not cooking meat for kids because that is weird!!
This is day two & I wrote the shopping list today & it was alright juggling meals. I will just substitute meat for me. Saying that we do eat quite a few vego meals anyway.
Such hippies.
I've also cut out my (twice) daily nespresso. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!!! I don't know!
Healthy mumma. Maybe. Hopefully we get there. I just like how I am feeling at the moment.
Anyway I just went for a run near the beach with the kids. Hello twat. Yes I said it.

Browsing Always Inspires....sometimes

I have not sewen since handmade Christmas. I had enough of my sewing machine so I really enjoyed the break.
I need to start again though.
I was going to make Amelia some ruffle pants because I am sick of seeing her bloody nappy all the time. It's hot & the bambino does not take the heat well so she is always in her nappy & a singlet. Unless we are out. I couldn't do that to the kid. Though saying that I did see a woman last week at Target with her newborn just in a nappy. It looked weird because she was in the clothes section & it seemed as if she was buying her naked bambino clothes. Or hopefully at least a singlet maybe? Whatever, each to their own.

Anyway so I though I wont need a pattern to make the pants & then I was like wow how cool would it be to make some felt mushroom cushions. So cute. Then I was looking on the internet as I am trying to avoid the whole family because everyone is tired & grumpy, & I stumbled on this totally awesome pillow!

I will only be making one though!!

I really need to make this now! Well not now because I am typing. You know what I mean.
So I must dash while half the family is sleeping & the other half is pestering me to go on the Playschool website. Which I must admit is really good.

Things missing in my life


In memory of my missing Best Coast cd. I hope one day we will be reunited again...xx

Letters

Dear users of Facebook,

I do not care what you are having for dinner.
I do not need to know where you are.
I do not think doing secret 'don't tell men' status quizzes are helping breast cancer awareness.
I don't care if your 'little angel' is asleep.
Please no lol or rofl - I don't even know what rofl means?!!
No kissy kissy faces please.
No boobs in my face & please please please guys keep your shirts on. Please.
Last but not least, do not befriend me if you don't know who I am. There is a reason I have under 100 friends.
I know it's addictive. I know it gives dickheads a voice. It also reunites & connects family & friends so little yay for that.
But I swear if you update your status professing your love to your adorable children.....I will delete you.

Yours sincerely,
Dani

Wedding marriage

I know I promised a catch up. Things I will need to write about include homemade Xmas, proposal & the realization that I'm too old & cool for music festivals BUT I am so confused at the moment.
Weddings.
Why do we have them?
Why do I want to spend so much money on one day?
I want to marry Will. Not spend $5 grand on food.
I don't want politics about groomsmen & bridesmaids.
Don't even get me started on bucks dos & hens nights. That deserves its own post!!
Guests list drama. People you kind of have to invite because you know you have to. Gay. It's all G A Y.
I just want to marry Will. I dont want to find a good photographer or a nice celebrant or find the perfect venue.
Someone please tell me why do we have to go through all this trouble? Even small weddings have these problems.
Then I think we should elope but people might get sad but then the wedding is for us. It's our wedding. Me becoming a Hammond.
It's our love & we've always being private. I'm not a show pony (hence having a small intimate wedding) but I think I don't even want that.
Why do we have weddings? To celebrate our love for one another in front of everyone else? Everyone already knows that we love each other.
Yes I agree it's exciting getting all beautiful & wearing lovely clothes. Walking down the aisle with my dad & I will probably cry when I see Will standing there. It will be awesome getting drunk with everyone I love. I can't even remember the last time my favorite ladies we're all in the same room together.
So yes. Confused. Too many questions. Is it just me being difficult? Probably.
