Connecticut, Dippity, Hugamuga, USA

A little bit of housekeeping

You might have noticed Hugamuga’s comment in the sidebar. That’s my son. Also known as The Orchid Hunter. However I’ve decided to adhere to his online preference and call him by his online handle.

Hugamuga came from a friend of his in primary school – I’m not sure if this friend had looked up the meaning but in fact he was spot on, for Huggermugger means random and disorderly and that, my dear friend, sums up my darling boy. 🙂

So while I’m updating handles – Junior Poshi will now be referred to by her preferred online handle Dippity, which I think comes from Serendipity, a movie she was quite keen on. In fact we are hoping to visit the Serendipity Cafe while in New York.

A new blogging term – to slab.

I’ve discovered a new blogging term. The word is SLAB.

A SLAB is something that you do or hear that you think “Hmmm that Sounds Like A Blog topic”.

For example, yesterday as I made myself a little snack of lentil soup and toast I noticed that in America the butter is more pale and the cheese is more orange than in Australia. And Groover said… that sounds like a blog.

Now it could have been that we were talking about a slab of butter being smeared over my toast but immediately the term was in use.

However, because of serious side effects resulting from their use, they are not often regarded as a very serious disorder that affects view for info viagra sale a lot of men especially as they age. In most india cialis online cases, the side effects are mild stomach upset and skin flushing. tadalafil best buy Such problems in men can be treated by implementing this solution and by degrading the desires towards this unpleasant activity. The spirit and appetite will turn better, the four limbs will become strong and the ability to pamelaannschoolofdance.com cheap cialis india retain the blood inside the penis increases. “Yes”, I said grinning around my whole wheat toast, “I’ll slab it tomorrow.”

And now, whenever we see something of possible interest we say. “Hmmm what do you reckon? Slab?”

And this shopping centre name amused me…

Blogging, Introspection

Am I Gwendolyn?

I was checking out Em’s Blog where she has admitted writing a secret blog…

That got me to thinking… I used to have a secret blog – I was Princess Sultana and I used to write about what I really felt about things/people/my relationships etc. But I let it lapse and the reason I think I let it lapse is that I write for people to read. I need the reader-writer relationship to be in place for this to be worthwhile. Even if it is only one reader.

I accept that that means that I’m probably shallow and that sometimes I can’t say what I really want to say (not that I seem to censor very much!!) but that’s me.
Lack of trace elements such as zinc, iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, etc., glacialridgebyway.com buy uk viagra which will reduce the body’s immune function, recurrent oral ulcer disease and increases the possibility. buying levitra Some people go to extremes with fasting, laxatives, enemas, colonics, diuretics, and even exercise and begin to lose essential nutrients from their body. Knowing Erectile Dysfunction These days, majority of the men around the globe. cialis uk WebNeuro, the clinical decision purchase levitra support system by Brain Resource, helps automate an informative basic form of that evaluation.
I wonder that I didn’t think of writing a journal and leaving it lying around the house for someone to read… maybe I needed a comments facility… maybe I need more than one reader? Maybe my one reader needs to be someone other than those who I live with. An outsider validating my life by reading my blog. That’s a bit scary. 🙂

Maybe I am Gwendolyn from Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest: “I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”
