Comments on: Great with WordPress. Good Parent. Lousy Cook

I do feel that my life is complicated enough. Sometimes I make it harder than it has to be, then I realize that whatever I was stressing over wasn’t worth the energy after all.

I’m not a parent, but I’m high maintenance enough! I feel like I’m my own baby.

I love to cook and I think I do a great job at it, given I cant eat half of the food out there.

WordPress is challenging to me at times, but I can usually work though whatever challenge I’m facing.

Dave you have one up on me with your Braaing (thats BBQ in sunny Queensland) I am barred from anything to do with cooking on the BBQ in our house. Reason being is I manage to burn every thing to a crisp without even trying.

You know how it is – ‘I’ll just leave it on for a little longer.’

Cheers

@Kim I know you weren’t trying to plug your services. I just thought you deserved a bit of link love.

I did try and put an earring through the hole a few years ago. Got halfway before the pain got to me. I was obviously a lot tougher when I was younger.

But can you get an earring through it? You can still see the hole where my nose was pierced but there is no way anything will go through it without massive amount of pain.

I wasn’t trying to plug myself – I was trying to make a joke about carrying a wrench with me everywhere …

Hello Freelance WordPress legend for hire Kim Woodbridge of http://www.kimwoodbridge.com (how’s that for a subtle plug?!). Nice of you to drop by.

As parents we lead amazingly interesting lives. Great stuff, but it sure is tiring…

Speaking of the ice and needle trick, I pierced my ear that way when I was about 16 and stopped wearing the earring about a year later. And I still have the hole 17 years later. Clearly I did a good job!

I think all of us (especially parents) lead such complicated lifes. I spent the last couple of weeks torturing my daughter so she would stop sucking her fingers (two fingers rather than one thumb) because one of her new teeth wasn’t growing in. I won that battle and as a reward I let her get her ears pierced last weekend. That went ok but she is pain wimp and thought it hurt a lot more that I told her it would. I don’t remember it hurting – well, not like later piercings done with ice and a needle

Then the next day she was riding her bike at the park. One of her training wheels kept coming loose so I got in the habit of carrying a wrench around with me. (Yep – I can fix more than websites). I finally got sick of fixing it, took the training wheels off in a fit of anger, and told her to ride. Well, she just started riding along … guess she didn’t need the training wheels after all.

Oh … and my point. All of this was the just part of one weekend.

I’m a decent cook … but I’m one of those yicky vegetarians.
