The World’s Most Expensive Ferris Wheel

Posted by Lovelyn | October 30, 2009 .

Yesterday was my stepson’s 16th birthday (sweet 16) so we went into London to celebrate. After getting him loaded on tequila and buying him a hooker, we took him to London Eye. When it was built in 1999, it was the world’s tallest Ferris wheel. Since then the Chinese and Singaporeans have built Ferris wheels [...]

Has Your Accent Changed?

Posted by Lovelyn | October 28, 2009 .

My stepson grew up in Florida, but has managed to maintain an English accent his entire life–until now. Recently, something quite strange has occurred. Now that he lives in England and has very limited contact with Americans his accent is rapidly becoming more American.
He’s gone in the direction of the ultra patriot. Singing the national [...]

Cheap Gas

Posted by Lovelyn | October 26, 2009 .

There was a time when gas prices were very important to me. I mean very, very important.  I used to obsess over them. So much so that I went so far as putting a widget in one of my posts that shows the price of crude oil in real time. I used to drive out [...]

Do You Look Good in Your Jeans?

Posted by Lovelyn | October 23, 2009 .

I love jeans. I wear them almost everyday–boot cut, flare, straight leg. I own them all and they look great on me or at least that’s what I think. We don’t have any full length mirrors in the house so I guess I don’t really know, but I feel like I look good.
There’s one thing [...]

Oatmeal for Breakfast

Posted by Lovelyn | October 21, 2009 .

It’s starting to get cold out. Every time I step outside I’m reminded of how much I don’t like the cold. I’m wrapped up in my winter coat and there are still people going out in t-shirts. I’m a weather wimp. I openly admit it.
The cold mornings have made me less fond of the chilly [...]

Ice Cream Cake Fantasy

Posted by Lovelyn | October 19, 2009 .

My husband: When I was a kid we used to have ice cream cake every Saturday.
I haven’t eaten cake for a very long time, but my husband is well aware of my previous love for cake, especially ice cream cake.
Me: What kind of fantasy world did you grow up in? We only had ice cream [...]

Watching the Hair Grow

Posted by Lovelyn | October 15, 2009 .

I’ve decided to let my hair grow out. I’ve always wanted long hair. When I was a little girl I’d put a bath towel over my head and pretend it was my long hair. I’d flip it this was and that and say things like, “Don’t you love my beautiful long hair?”
I normally keep my [...]

The Taste of Travel

Posted by Lovelyn | October 13, 2009 .

My stepson likes countries. He can tell you the name of the leader of just about any country and the type of government they run. He has lots of very strong opinions about these leaders and governments.
Lately, he’s taken to naming a country and then asking if I’d like to go there. I think he [...]

Name That Vegetable

Posted by Lovelyn | October 12, 2009 .

I got this in my vegetable box today. The only reason I know what it is because its name was on the receipt. The question is can you identify this vegetable? If you can, can you tell me how to cook it because I have no idea.

Pulling Back the Curtain

Posted by Lovelyn | October 10, 2009 .

We have these hideous green curtains in our living room. They came with the flat and despite having renewed the lease yet again, I like pretending I’m not going to be staying in this flat for long so I never changed them. Anyway, when you pull them back there’s a piece of fabric to hook [...]
