KEEP IT IN THE PHAMLY

Check out this awesome(ly nerdy) interactive graphic. It helps put life in perspective and made me realise, my ears aren't so big.

I got an email the other day asking if my blog posts are paid for promotions because I'm so positive about everything. It reminds me of the time Ben Garden from Grafton Primary told me, "I can't figure out if you're a total trash bag or just high on life." (Answer is the latter.) This makes me wonder how many other people find my sheer enthusiasm for life hard to believe.

As a result, I've started an OAQ section on my 'about' page (once asked questions). The short answer is no, I'm not asked to write any of my blogs. Actually, my Phamly sometimes ask me not to write blogs... but, really, they just shouldn't do so much funny shit to spark post ideas.

The longer answer is: I started this blog knowing I'd want it to be positive(ly silly). There's enough negativity on the internet and in the world. Why add more? Ain't nobody got time for that! I avoid making nasty remarks on my blog so I only write about things I genuinely love and recommend.  Whatever I write about I've discovered on my own and bought for myself.

While I can proudly say I've personally selected everything I blog about and none of it comes from external promo requests, it's not totally true to say my opinions are my own. My opinions and all my brain-thoughts are a running stream of pop culture quotes from TV, movies, books, magazines... I don't think I've ever had an original thought in my life.

Arnott's new double choc mud Tim Tams remind of me of a recent Phamly dinner where Little Sissy Pham accidentally put middling-niece off both her dinner and dessert with but a few words.

First on the menu was wonton noodles, which Middling heard as 'one tonne noodles!?!?! Um, I ate already.' Her mum explained it was the yummy noodles with soup that she loves. She enjoyed her dinner after that.

After dinner came chocolate cake with strawberries and whipped cream. Little Sissy Pham told our little prep goer who makes mud pies at school the cake's name to which middling exclaimed "MUD cake?!?!?!" and refused to eat any. It took a lot of coaxing to even get her to try the cake. By try I mean she slowly poked her tongue out and touched an edge with the very tip of her tongue before setting it back down.

Probably didn’t help that it was a gluten-free cake – another failed attempt to help Little Sissy Pham’s terrible case of psoriasis through dietary means as well as the bazillion creams and UV treatments the docs have tried over the past decade. Anyway, the happy ending is I got to eat my cake and Middling’s too.

If I ever turn off my greedy gut to share double choc cake Tim Tams with my niece I'll tell her "it's a yummy chocolate biscuit. I love it, it's my favourite." Because you don’t tell a 6 year old it’s mud. On a serious note, I'm not a Tim Tam fan to begin with but I am obsessed with the double choc mud ones. They smell of delicious mud cake and have soft, muddy chocolate in the middle. So good. You gotta try them – they’re part of the exclusive Sweet Wishes range of Tim Tams and this flavour is only available from Woolworths.
