  • I work for a huge, US-based global corporation that is so fond of three-letter-acronyms that they are only ever called TLAs. I have often wondered what on earth most of them mean. Today I got to experience one of them – WFH – first hand.

    Must say there was a lot more Timmy Time than I expected.

  • Veist þú hvað gerist þegar þú ert að hjálpa litlu fólki að klára dýrindis hafragraut og um leið og þú stingur fullri skeiðinni í munninn kemur hnerri?

    Núna veit ég það


    /Do you know what happens when you are helping a certain little someone finish some tasty oatmeal pudding and at the exact moment you put a spoonful of the deliciousness into their mouth, they sneeze?

    Well, now I do

  • Fever

    So, sitting and keeping consant vigil (earvigil?) over the breathing of my beautiful daughters as they sleep – their mom is upstairs catching up with her family, I have the following thoughts, pretty much simultaneously

    • Is it getting a bit chilly in here? maybe I should get a blanket
    • Hmmm, last time my back and neck got this sore I had a high fever. I don’t now of course, but maybe I should check, just in case
    • *walking toward thermometer* hey! when did i get so good at break dancing?
  • Procrastination

    The best thing about being a power-procrastinator is the immense, overwhelming feeling of satisfaction you get when (if!) you finally get around to doing thing, weeks, months, or even years later


    the trick is to wait just long enough to get that feeling, but not so long that the authorities come knocking

  • One of those days

    So the day we come home with two tired kids, a pram, three 5 kg bags of soil, a 5 kg bag of cat food, and 15 kg of kitty litter is the day the elevator chooses to be out of order

    Fortunately we only live on the fifth floor

    Also: so the moment after the last trip up, as I was putting everything down, wheezing like an asthmatic kitty, is the moment Sandra chooses to figure out how to remove one of the thingies that used to hold up the hallway mirror

    Fortunately none of the pieces of mirror landed on Sandra when they crashed to the floor.

  • Weekend warrior

    Læknirinn sagði að íþróttameiðslin frá í gær væru kölluð Weekend Warrior og séu algeng hjá miðaldra íþróttamönnum þegar þeir fara að hægja á

    Ég var svo ánægður með að hann kallaði mig íþróttamann að ég var heillengi að fatta að hann kallaði mig miðaldra


    The doctor said last night’s sport-related injury is called ‘weekend warrior’, and typically happens to middle aged athletes when they start slowing down

    I was so excited about the athlete bit that i didn’t even notice the middle aged bit for a bit


    Pt. i
  • Watching the nutcracker on tv brings back painful memories of my intense, if short-lived, career in ballet

  • is there a fate worse than being stuck at home, ill

    …and not find the effing tv remote?

  • I see your Schwartz is as big as mine

  • Sandra horfði aðeins niður og leit upp mjög spennt og undrandi: Tveir fætur!!


    After looking down for a few moments, Sandra looked up. extremely excited and surprised she shouted: Two feet!!
