Cathy's 50s Housewife Friday.

Happy 50's Housewife Friday Everybody!!

What a beautiful day in chilly downtown BrisVegas! Not a cloud in the goddamn sky!!

A perfect morning for walking my little blond pal to school and generally enjoying the crisp cool air whilst my favourite pooch pees all over Paddington. I spun my little fella out this morn while we were discussing Superheros on our walk.

'Mum do you know who General Zodd is?'

I take my time thinking.....

'Yes, he's a Superman villain, isn't he?'

'Yes! He is! How'd you know that??'

'Superman two...' I say nonchalantly.

(My brothers and I must have watched that movie 20 times as kids...)

'That is so cool that you know these things...'

I smile. 'yes, yes it is'

I live trekking around here, has been my haunt for a looong time and this morning when my Ipod threw out:

1st track of the day:

Janes Addiction - Jane Says

I was walking past the first house I lived in in Paddo and I actually slipped through a wrinkle in time and found myself back in '95 and I was 22.  Just for a second and then I was back, but it was very surreal...

On the walk up to the Paddo Newsagents to get my weekly Friday Who magazine (so I can find out why K Stew cheated on R Patz) I get to pass Thousand Island Dressing, The Paddo Antiques Centre, many funky boutiques and whimsical bookstores.

Not to mention an array of hip and cool coffee houses with the wafting aroma of freshly roasted brew deliciousing up my senses....I don't actually drink coffee but damn I love the smell!!!

A great start to my day!

Second track of the day:

Kiss - Strutter

An awesome song to stride around to!

Always reminds me of a very awesome local rock goddess that I know and adore, who I shall merely refer to as K Love.

Am now playing the entirety of Pretty Hate Machine by N.I.N. while I get started on double fudge brownies for the hoards of vultures that will swarm me around 3:30pm this arv.

Will also be cheerfully folding laundry and tidying bedrooms and later you'll find me: hair set, pretty red lips and being charming and agreeable to my husband and children in our clean (for about 40 mins) house.

So have a marvellous day guys! Hope everyone is tapping into their inner housewives today like me! Don't have a husband and children tied around ur neck??? Make yourselves some choc chip cookies, sedate urself with some organic red wine and blare some loud music with ur reddest lipstick on and ur feather duster in ur hand - be a 50s Housewife to yourself - even if it's just for one day. You deserve it! *wink*

Cathy wears many hats. Wife, mother of two sons, CEO of Little Monsters Pty Ltd and Cake Pop Queen just to name a few. She subscribes to the theory that Cathiness is next to Godliness. And on Fridays she behaves like a 50s housewife by sedating herself and cooking, baking and ironing, and being nice to her husband. Any other day is a crapshoot.
