Pure Cork Like – And Pure Freakin Awesome (Day 37)

I’m sitting at the desk, blank page open ready to begin another blog post, with my head lying on my hands as I day-dream about what to write.  I have literally no idea.  Whatever follows from these two paragraphs will be as unexpected to me now, as it will be to you as you’re reading […]

When True Love Does Angry (Day 36)

I have a very sweet kind patient husband. We share almost the exact same sense of humour, (meaning we both laugh a lot at puppies falling over and noisy farts). He supports my every move, encourages all my passions, reads all these daily scribbles (even though he doesn’t like reading) and is my loving refuge […]

Working in the Circus – me and my clowns (Day 33)

I realized something today – I work in a bit of a circus. On one side you have the masterful show hosts – that’s us, your servers, pandering to your every need and dealing with tremendous pressure and challenges each day as we work our little socks off to provide you with a customer service […]

Too Pooped To Do Anything (Day 32)

Aw that’s annoying – I can’t keep track of my scribble days anymore by checking the date now – it’s February 1st but we’re on day 32… How will I know where I’m at???? That being said though, I’m chuffed at having made it through the whole month of January without missing a day of […]

Short and Sweet (Day 30)

It’s been a long hard day.  And I’ve been working like a dog. No not like a dog, more like a BEAST. It was very busy in the restaurant for most of my shift, as we had a large group for a funeral booked in.  I was only meant to work til 4 pm but […]

When Pizza leads to Self-Praise of Sorts (Day 28)

I’m tired and sleepy after pizza and wine so I really don’t want to sit down at this computer and write another post.  Why everyday???  Why?! And yet, there does seem to be some part of me that has a teeny-tiny bit of indomitable willpower and that part of me has me here now, however reluctantly. […]

The Joys of a Lazy Saturday (Day 27)

Today was another good day can you believe it!  That’s three days in a row now; where did cranky, moody, restless, tired, depressed, crying Liz disappear to?!  (Wherever it is, I hope she stays there!) I woke at nearly 9 am, quite late for me, having optimistically set my alarm for 8 am.  However my […]

Dreams versus Reality (Day 24)

I have great dreams about how to start my day well: wake early, meditate, journal, exercise, eat healthy breakfast, get shit done before work. No crappy food, no sleeping in and no needless worries about stuff I should be doing because hey, it’s only 9 am and I’ve done most of it already. Ah yes, […]

Swinging Cats in the Big Shmoke (Day 19)

Today finds me writing from a sweet little Air B&B off Baggot Street in Dublin city. Alex and I are in the Big Shmoke for the weekend to attend a wholesale trade show… aaaand to have a mini holiday. I like this house.  The soft lighting of the vintage bedside lamps and the palette of blush, […]
