When I was five, I used to take golf lessons from a pro at the golf club. I remember using those chopped up golf sticks that looked so cute. Then, I'd really had an interest. Up to my early teens, I walked around to.......click to learn what next.

Eight sure is a lucky number!

Searching within…..

OMG, I just read my blog (the last 10 posts). I feel like I'm not me. It's all being written by my bipolar self. The weaker half. I want to vanish into thin air to never be associated with such.....such.....boringness. Allow me to.......click to learn what next.

It’s Q4 people, start thinking of resolutions!

Posted on October 17, 2007April 30, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Many people think, oh I never keep to my resolutions anyway so why bother making them. Then there are those who adopt the attitude of why make them at the end of the year when you can make a change anytime. All fair.......click to learn what next.

Are you a whinger? Or is it assertiveness?

Posted on October 17, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

This morning, I found a 4 millimeter piece of hard plastic (the type they use to wrap those Made in China toys) in my English Muffin at a coffee joint. I can see how easily something like this could have happened as I have worked.......click to learn what next.

Hygiene in the kitchen

Posted on October 16, 2007April 30, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Have you ever wondered why all industrial kitchens are made out of stainless steel? Did you think it was because they wanted staff to be able to see their own reflections? After all, a well-groomed chef maketh a beautiful meal. Or did you think.......click to learn what next.

On crystals again, the fat losing kind…

Tee and perfume
