Dear BOM, Where the hell is my wind and rain? The weather is awful here but in the opposite way that you told us it would be. Yours in annoyance, Amy.

Today is a big pile of green and pink.
I don’t know what that means but that’s what it feels like and that’s what I’m wearing. Or it could be the delerium talking. Ask me again tonight when I hit the 40 hours without sleep point. In other news, that point is coinciding with the Rock n’ Rods event I’m going to with Carly. I shall be the one with the giant red skirt with printed poodle and a denim...

Don't let me out in public. I will say things that...
My mother and I are observing a lady with her grandchild. Me: You aren’t getting one of those anytime soon. Not anytime soon at all. Later while shopping for a baby shower. Me: Oh these baby things are kind of cute, I can see how people might be tempted to procreate if you can get involved in the whole hysteria. That didn’t go down well with everyone else in the store. I actually...

I love gravy and apple sauce sandwiches, but I’ve been at carverys before where they don’t like to make them for me because “they’re meant to be served with the roast”. Hell, I’d pay the $6 for a gravy and apple sauce sandwich somedays since my other options in food courts are limited. But this guy was more then willing to make one for me and he only charged me...

It would save me a fortune since they all just melt when I go out walking in Townsville. I’m ignoring your arguments about wearing different shoe because if you don’t drive and you’re going to fancy appointments or job interviews etc. you’ll wear the fancy shoes and you’ll leave the soles melted behind you on the sidewalk as you trek your way across town. It is...

Listening to I Summon You by Spoon on repeat.
This is act is also known as ‘How to make a bad day better’ which is closely linked to the question ‘What am I even doing awake at this time of the morning?’

I'm not obsessed... Really I'm not.
I just organised my tights drawer by type, material, style and colour. Now I can fit in the new pairs I’m going to buy, because the fairy shop is closing down so all their pairs are $5. I cannot resist bargain priced tights or stockings.
