I have a bow tie

22 May

Yep. I do. I bought it at That Dapper Market. I think it’s rather spiffy.

Oh – and see that freckle on my ring finger there? That’s my favourite freckle. I’m not quite sure why it is, but it is.

Yep.

Lull

28 Mar

So… There’s been a bit of a lull in posting lately. I’m sure you haven’t noticed… But in case you have, here are a list of reasons why I haven’t been on the Fizz of late:

  1. I started my Bachelor of Arts (Internet Communications) five weeks ago. I know, I know – somewhat ironic that I start studying internet communications and then stop communicating via the internet. That aside, it’s my first attempt at a tertiary level course in many, many years, and I have to cram to get ahead because I’m having two weeks off in about three week’s time, when my fourth assessment is due in. Suffice to say, every moment outside of work that isn’t taken up with the below items, is taken up with study.
  2. I’m training for a half marathon.
  3. I’ve started taking burlesque classes, one night a week. I’ve only been to one so far, but it was SO much fun!
  4. I’ve taken on a second job, one night a week.
  5. I’ve been baking cupcakes for a friend’s house warming.
  6. I’ve attended my friend’s house warming slash surprise engagement announcement!
  7. I’ve taken my youngest nephew for his first ever driving lesson.
  8. I’ve been unpacking boxes and trying to find homes for the surprisingly, jaw-droppingly, large amount of stuff that I have.
  9. I’ve been falling in love with my new housemate who made me an amazing dinner the other week complete with candles and wine.
  10. The Adelaide Fringe Festival. Say no more.

Quite seriously, I don’t know how I’m still standing upright. I am crazy busy personified right now and I haven’t even started indoor rock climbing yet! Suffice to say, the Fizz will not be updated regularly for a wee while to come so please feel free to cheat on me with other blogs. I promise, I won’t hold it against you… Much…

In which I talk to you about socks

11 Feb

I have a real thing for socks that tell you which one is for your left foot and which one is for your right.

I remember when I was a kid, asking my Mum how you could tell which was your left sock and which was your right. I mean, you have left shoes and right shoes, so you must have left socks and right socks, right? Despite Mum’s best efforts, I could not get my head around the fact that socks were all made equal and were quite interchangeable. It just didn’t make sense!

So, just imagine my pure, unadulterated, and child-like delight when sports companies started bringing out ‘technical’ socks that were labelled with little L’s and R’s!! It’s what I’d always wanted! Socks! Designed for left feet and right feet individually! Not generic foot tubes that jumped onto whichever foot happened to be handy at the time! Huzzah!
