I had an uninspiring weekend, but the kind that usually feels one with keenness for the coming week.

I babysat my favourite little tykes, so their parents could go catch Alice in Wonderland in 3D.

My mom can’t understand why the kids can’t see Alice in Wonderland with their parents “It’s a creative children’s story, it stimulates kids imagination”

I explain that this version might be a little dark for kids “Of course it’s dark… your sister used to be afraid of it”

True, but my sister is afraid of anything animated, Coraline freaks the hell out of her; she thinks it’s creepy.

My mom insists that we tell the kids the story of Alice in Wonderland; we end up with a re-enactment of sorts.

The kids especially love the Duchess and the Cook bit; I swing the little one dramatically in my arms while singing…

Speak roughly to your little boy
and beat him when he sneezes
he only does it to annoy
because he knows it teases.
Wow… Wow… Wow…

While the older boy runs around screaming “More Pepper! More Pepper!”

It’s totally hilarious and chaotic – I almost doubt they’d have had that much fun at the theatre.

I also made banana bread with the last semi-sweet chocolate chips I got on my last trip to Trader Joe’s.

My mom proclaims it “OK” but I actually don’t try it until this morning – it more than “OK”, it’s awesome!

I did another 48hrs fast this weekend, I plan on doing once every month but keeping it low key and unfussy – I probably won’t mention it again. I don’t want it to become a big to-do.

It’s International Women’s Day, today is the 100th anniversary.

This year’s theme is ‘Equal rights, equal opportunity: Progress for all’.

One day, in a perfect world there’ll be no need for special days for a specific set of people.

I don’t quite remember where the necklace is from but I’ve always loved it.

The End!
