My name is Josie and I live with 2 boys and my pet hamster, Julius Caesar. The boys are kind and the animal bites.
This blog chronicles my misadventures as I (drunkenly) maneuver through the dark tsetse fly-infested swampy marshes of Singlehood. My journey starts here.

Things I’ve Learnt: In the past 48 Hours
1. The shower stand is kinda broken which is why no one has been making the effort to place the shower head back in its clip. This joins the hairline crack in the bathroom sink and the sunken couch in the list of things that are only slightly destroyed in the house.
2. Don’t leave left over egg tarts on the kitchen table. Because boys will only eat it 3 days after they’d seen it and it will be moldy. Best case scenario, they’d throw it away. Worst case scenario, it’s still on the table when they re-tell the story when you’re back from work in the evening.
3. There is a lingering stink in the living room. A stink that apparently only a female can smell.
4. ‘Movie Buttered’ popcorn smells like the by-product of someone who survives on a diet of old milk and rat poison. It is however, extremely tasty.
5. Penthouse magazine is cooler in theory. It’s probably the 8 years of Sunday School talking but I want to color those nasty beef curtains in black ink.
6. A fork is an acceptable frying utensil for most guys. I am pretty certain I’ve eaten bits of teflon during our communal dinner tonight.
7. I found this bottle hanging out on the kitchen counter. Umm guys, I think Mayonnaise belongs inside the fridge. And in case anyone was wondering…I left it where I found it.
Good god, I’m learning quick.
