Clever Girl sends her children to the best school she could find. Of course, the school is not ideal, but Clever Girl knows by now that not that many things in life are the way she would like them to be and not everything (although a lot) can be bent to her liking. She tries to…
“Am I Too Sophisticated for TV?”
Some of you already know that I don’t have a TV set at home. If I watch telly, it’s either at my parents’ house or a friend’s house. The truth is that I haven’t had a TV screen in my own house ever. I bet most of you agree that TV is rubbish, there is virtually…
“Am I in a Guy Ritchie’s Movie?”
I can’t stand weddings and hate anything to do with them. In fact, in my very personal opinion weddings have nothing to do with celebrating someone’s love. Besides, weddings and love not necessarily go together, not only in movie scripts but real life as well. It’s a commonly known fact that weddings are financially straining for…
“I’ve Been on a Diet For 20 Years and I’m Tired!!!”
I have been on a diet since I was 14. At that age, I was yet another deluded teenager who decided to become a supermodel, so I figured I needed to be extremely skinny. Back then I didn’t realise I was way too short to become a model, plus my body has always been more…
“Why Going on Holiday Has to Be So Fucking Stressful?”
It’s summer. It’s hot outside. The general population usually goes on holiday to relax and spend quality time with their families and friends. In this aspect of life, I’m no different from anyone else. I want to relax, chill out and forget about the everyday routine at least once a year. Little O. finished school…
“My 20’s V My 30’s”
I have no idea what triggered my trip into the memory line of my 20’s. But here I was sitting in an empty apartment (the Little O. was staying with his dad over the weekend, so I had all the time in the world to think things up and to be nostalgic), stuffing my face…
“Everyday Craziness”
Every parent will tell you that weekdays are crazy. By crazy I mean very hectic, mechanical, boring in a way & repetitive. Kind of like ‘Groundhog Day’. When I was a child, a concept of having only seven days a week that kept repeating itself was beyond my understanding. At the age of 5, I…
“The Weekends”
It’s a quiet, lazy Saturday evening and after an exhausting day of pampering, working, eating & my Pilates I’m sitting in front of my telly, watching yet another romantic comedy and stuffing my face with sweets. Officially I don’t eat carbs, so I need to keep my energy level up by eating sweeties. Yes, my son…
“No, No, It Could Never Happen To Me”
I could never forget. This is not an option. At least this is what I kept saying to myself all the way to school. I’m a very well organised young lady in her mid-30-ties with a child and a hubby, or rather ex-hubby to be precise. Today is Friday, and I managed to forget that my…
Letters From the Future.
It is August 21st, 2055; I’m still alive, keeping quite well and pretty healthy taking into consideration our circumstances. I fucked up. I fucked up big. I was too greedy and too obsessed with having power, respect, admiration and money. I should have listened to the experts and people who were much more in sync…
