I love these wedges...

As a child of the 80s my dress ups were out of fashion 70s cast offs. I think that is why I love all the brown leathery things in fashion at the moment. I love wedge shoes...

Why?

Does anyone actually think this is a good idea?

Each ingredient in isolation is lovely. But together?

I mean... if we're going to indulge, lets not ruin it by adding in a fresh apple. Is it somehow intended to negate the impact of the chocolate?

In addition - its $22!! At that price you'd want to eat the core too.

The Colossal Caramel Apple

Letting the giraffe loose

OK... I have a confession to make.

I love blogs. I love looking at blogs, spying on blogs and tracking blogs in my Google Reader. If I meet you and find out that you have a blog - watch out, I will try my darndest to find it.

Why do I love blogs? I have a long neck and like to see into other worlds. They feed my curiosity, arm me with good conversation material, alert me to good taste and most of all Google Reader allows me to seamlessly stalk these blogs.

My problem. Security. As you now know, I love to receive blogs, but I cannot give. I formerly kept a public blog with family news, however my sitemeter revealed that it was more widely viewed then I expected. So I immediately freaked out and shut it down. I had nightmare scenarios running through my mind of exes, neighbours, friends, foes etc. all peering into our front windows. My husband (lets call him Geoffrey Giraffe (GG), as in Toys R Us) and I (lets call me Zarafa, a giraffe from the 1800s) had long discussions over privacy and safety on the internet. The conclusion is that being able to google our names and arrive at a blog is against family policy (boring huh). Afterall who doesn't want to be able to google a fellow colleague and come up with some dirt?! - like pictures of them dressed as a strawberry:) This blog is the middle road - there will be no real names used, and its content does not resemble the lives of its creator. I am not going to promote the blog to friends or anyone, rather rely on organic growth for a reader base.

Commenting. Now that I have a blog to give back to the blogging world, I will be commenting on the blogs I stalk. I am very excited about getting out of the blogging house to comment!

So here we come blogging world - its Zarafa, wife of GG.
