Thoughts and opinions of the random kind

People who should go and sit in the naughty corner and take a good hard look at themselves:

• The Sunday Paper that plans to detail other complaints Kirsty Fraser -Kirk has made in her previous employment. This has bearing on Mark McInnes behaviour how? My opinion is that unless Kirsty liked to have a bit of a whinge she would never have taken her sexual harassment case to her supervisors in the first place and they in turn would never have told her to harden up and deal with it. She is never going to get the $bazillion she has sued for and she probably knows this but she has succeeded in getting this guys behaviour and DJ's pathetic response into the spotlight. It annoys me that the Sunday Papers think her claim is diminished because she has spoken up about issues before. I would love a detail account of the kind of bullying and sexual harassment Mr McInnes is said to have done (I did read on one blog what he is alleged to have said to her and it was vile) oh hang on that could be taken as a smear campaign. The bottom line is everyone regardless of gender, age, race or sexuality should be allowed to work in a safe environment without discrimination or harassment.
  


• Mr & Mrs Smith. Willow Smith is 9 years old she doesn't need a stylist and she doesn't need her parents telling her she needs a stylist. Are Will and Jada trying to create the next Lindsey Lohan? I have had a 9 year old ... they need a few nice pieces of target clothing when it comes on sale and 5 school uniforms.
  
• Kevin Rudd. Julia Gillard must be wondering who she is actually fighting in this election 'cos most days it isn't the Coalition. From all accounts KRudd has an ego the size of China so he was never going to take being dumped well. Now he is like that guy you dumped in Year 9... immature and petulant and each day comes up with new ways to embarrass you at school. Labor were hoping to capitalise on Julia Gillards honeymoon period as new PM and I suspect they thought with Tony Abbott as leader the Libs and Nats would be an easy win. The first weeks of the campaign illustrated this with Labors softly softly approach and stage managed debate and policy announcements. Enter the biggest blabbiest elephant into the room. If Labor does manage to lose this election (I'm not sold on the fact that the Coalition have done anything to win it) then KRudd should hang his head in shame and bugger off to Sunrise Beach with his bloated parliamentary superannuation payout.
  

Things that have made me smile or laugh or generally feel good:

• I have started using one of the handbags I bought in Thailand. (If you go to Phuket the multilevel department store in Patong has one whole floor of shoes and handbags ...one whole floor ).
  

I was feeling very Nancy Botwin with my new handbag until I overheard this little convo.


Bear " Lulu where is my dvd?"


Lulu" In Mums bag"


Bear "Where? What Bag? " (why cant boys ever find stuff?)


Lulu" In Mums bag... the new one ... the one that is mould coloured"


MOULD COLOURED!


I did laugh at this even if my handbag choosing ego was dented ;-)

• I got me some Hollywood toes yesterday. I picked a winner with the colour and the girl who did them said about 3 words the whole time. I call this a win win win. I even bought the colour I loved it so much.
  
  
  

• I may have fallen in love with David again yesterday (no this will not be anything like a NieNie post ( a blog I adore in case you think Im being snippy cos Im not ok). He suggested a trip that involves him and the kids being away for a few days. Should I be embarrassed or get (more) counselling because the thought of having a few days on my own makes me deliriously happy? Don't answer that if you think I'm a bad mother... I think I'm a bad mother most of the time I don't need the comment box to think so too.
