Patient Zero of the August 2025 Plague.

Sunday, August 3, 2025

I had the most perfect, calm little weekend planned...was I excited about my busy little bliss bubble? Yes. Did the universe have other plans? Also, yes!

We started so strong!

When I saw Jesus Christ Superstar for the first time when I was like...maybe 9? I remember being so utterly devastated at the end when big man was on the cross, bleeding from his head, yelling for his Mum about how thirsty he was...like nobody warned me he died? How would I have possibly known that!




On Saturday Norm and I got up early, did out 5k around the river and went to the markets to buy ourselves flowers...because again...we deserve it.

After a little spruce up at home, I was getting ready to go and get a pedicure and browse a local antique store when I started to realise I wasn't feeling that flash.

Swift change of plans! Instead of heading out, I prepped some bagel dough to proof and dragged Norm back to the markets in a hunt for an heirloom tomato. I had a vision....middle of winter probably isn't exactly heirloom time so we came back empty handed and had to settle for some plain ol' cream cheese.





After a cute lil bagel, I was well and truly cooked so a cancelled my arvo plans....shotgun my second hot water, honey, lemon and ginger and curled my ass up on the couch. where I have pretty much been ever since!

Although I did get my ass up to do 30 mins of low impact on the Peloton as I'm on a bit of a streak and would hate to see that vanish all because my immune system has clocked out!


Now if you would please excuse me I have curry to eat, Eucalyptus drops to inhale and Formula 1 to watch.

Ta ta!

The Baddies love July.

Things I loved in July....

 Diet Pepsi by Addison Rae.

One of my earliest core memories is my older brother absolutely roasting the shit out of me for being a pop queen, the year was 1999 and I was 6 years old but he had much higher expectations for my musical preferences! I am happy to report my music world has expanded massively but one thing still reigns supreme, I'm a sucker for a catch ass pop song like a true 90's baby. 

A sneaky mid year Christmas or two.

Now I'm going to be honest, I have an English step mother who is a secret feeder and avid roaster of meats so most Sunday family dinners are akin to a Christmas dinner but, do they involve Christmas crackers and gaudy Christmas headbands? No they don't, so I say jingle those July bells gang.

Beef Jerky.
This ones a little rogue as my brain is telling me I'm eating dog treats but I'm a bit of a beef jerky lover this month, most specifically a local companies spicy Vietnamese beef jerky which I want to be buried with so I can continue my feast well into the afterlife.

My Dalmatian Jasper.
A few weeks ago whilst at brunch with my friends I let them in on a secret. When I'm in the shower and the glass gets all steamy, I treat it as my personal momentary manifestation journal. I write anything and everything I want to happen on the glass, and within a few seconds the writing has become lost in the fog but hey me and the universe knows it was there! I say this to preface that I can be a lil crunchy, I believe in fate, destiny aaaaaaand crystals (My Mum once compared me to Frankie from Grace and Frankie which seemed like a bit of a stretch buuuuut let's check in again in 20 years). When I went to Perth last year, I left with an amber ring that I wear every day and when I left Adelaide a few weeks ago I left with a cute little dalmatian jasper that sits on my bed side table and every night before bed I hold him in my hand and squeeze the living shit out of him willing a little stone to solve all my problems...you know...normal stuff.

Baingan Bharta.
One of the best things about my new home is that I have a gas stove which means you can catch me charring eggplants at least once a week! I am a bit of a recipe repeater. Every week in May and June, I made the same curried mince recipe my Mum used to make when I was growing up. In July? It's been this Baingan Bharta recipe that I used to make about a year ago and have rediscovered. I eat it with naan, which I don't currently make from scratch but I'm thinking of starting.  


Lanebreak on the Peloton.
A friend of mine used to be obsessed with Orangetheory because she said it made her feel like she was in a video game...That is me and Lanebreak, I can ride for years because I will not get less than 100%!

Buying myself flowers.
I am a gem and I deserve them, frequently and in vast quantities.

Grenache Shiraz.
For the last 4 years of my life I swore off red wine for one singular reason, it gave me crazy heart burn! At first this rocked me to my actual core, how old was I! I am happy to report that after a recent winery trip, I have kicked the side effect kids! Jordan is back on the reds!  

Being 32.

Happy Birthday to me kids!

Things I didn't love in July...

Still the Happy Birthday song! The one consistent arch nemesis I've had in my life...32 years strong!


I am nothing, if not loyal to my brand









P.S. lol at my top Spotify songs this month....I'm not sure why that random Lonely Island song has been on repeat in my brain but I've been listening to it in a an effort to get it the hell out of there!





 

Love Bubble: Normie.

Friday, July 25, 2025







 I'm not sure if I've told you before that I have a dog? 

I don't talk about him much, rarely take his pictures, so you may have missed him!

Obviously, I'm kidding...I'm obsessed with the little bean and never truly shut up about him. My coworkers ask about him even if they have never met the little boy because they know I'm going to bring him up anyway so shit better beat me to the punch!

A few weeks ago I was telling someone about him and I said I don't think you understand... he's one of the great loves of my life! One day I will be old and grey and I'll look back at this period of my life and it will be defined by how I shared it with Norm. 

He's my precious little gem, my happy little jumping bean.













Wilt my Spinach.

Wednesday, July 9, 2025


I am Australian. This is where I am from originally buuuuut I did spend half my life in the US so sometimes my language gets little confused in some places i.e. rubbish bin isn't a thing to me anymore...that's a trash can. For the most part though, I definitely tend to be more classically Australian. My accent has come back to me since I've moved home but there are two words I can not vibe with these Aussies on.

1. Pistachio. Mate. It's Pis-tash-ee-o....If one more Australian hits me with a Pis-tah-shee-o like they are the god damn queen of England I'm gonna bop them on the head.

and now for the more topical one...

2. Maroon. Do you see those double O's? Moo it out my brothers, what in the hell is Ma-rone?

Long Story Short, it's State of Origin tonight and truly thank god it's game three as there is very little I can force myself to care about less. Like yeah yeah, Go Maroons but make it speedy because I'm over it.

Current Life Updates:
  • I'm still annoyed that my brunch on Saturday had raw spinach instead of cooked, who wants Eggs Benny in a bowl of raw ass spinach? I've been thinking about it for days.
  • My Dad and I accidentally bought matching jackets. He bought his to wear on his Harley and I bought mine to stunt on these hoes. 
  • I had a dirty dream about Noel Gallagher the other night, was honestly kind of ot of this world. Who knew.
  • I track all my dog walks in an effort to make sure Normie hits 100k's per month for no reason other than I decided we must and the poor boy, I was on the phone the other afternoon walking in circles around some trees whilst he probably planned how he was going to gnaw himself free to get away from me.

  • My period is 6 days late and my Flo app is giving me grief about it, chill out mam she will get here when she gets here!
  • I left my Air Pod case in an Uber today and got so annoyed I waited maybe 30 mins after reporting them before express ordering new ones to my door in frustration.
That's about all.

Life has been truly riveting.
