This is my brother with Marco Simoncelli last weekend. This weekend he was killed in a horrific motorcycle accident in Malaysia and he was only 24 years old. It is always a scary when you are reminded of the realization of how just quickly and without warning, a life can be taken away.

Worse Things Happen at Sea
This is a little detour of a post because I want to recommend a book that I haven’t even read yet. When we were driving from Parkes to Canberra the only station we could get on the car radio was ABC Radio National. They had a segment where Justine Clarke was reading an excerpt from…
Absolute whirlwind
The past couple of weeks have gone by in a whirl! In a nutshell – – INXS! Post coming up shortly! – The countdown to our trip to Australia is going by so quickly. Everything is planned and our schedule is jam packed. Of course, there are blank days there depending on Collingwood. That is…
Dolly Magazine – 90s love!
Anyone who knows me knows about my severe addiction to magazines. A couple of weekends ago I actually dedicated a good ten hours to catching up on the pile of them that accumulated beside our bed!

#blogjune – Day 20 – Presto Pesto!
If you are like me and love pesto sauce but hate the too-much-oil guilt factor then you just have to try this recipe from Weight Watchers for their version of pesto. I actually enjoy it more then regular pesto. For some reason it is a lot easier to eat and is perfect on anything and…
#blogjune – Day 6 – Apple Love
I have had my gorgeous baby Macbook for nearly four years and four months – which is amazing in itself… but it has become way too old and slow for me. I remember buying this with my iPod and getting that great student discount. Ahhh life was good. I even documented opening it. Who doesn’t…
Could this be the best sound ever?
I could play this on repeat for ages. Saying that, it used to scare me when I was little-Nellie!
