Friday, September 26th, 2008Back home in NJ, my car stereo was always tuned to Z100. I grew up with that station…well from high school to adulthood, Z100 provided my theme music of the moment. In the morning on my drive to work, I listened to Elvis and the rest of the gang of the morning crew. I would [...]
Nothing like leaving everything to the last minute
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008As I was looking through the clutter on our desk, I realized I have lots of forms I need to send out…soon.
There were a dozen copies of voter registration/absentee ballots request in the pile from months ago. I finally sent those out yesterday. Now I just have to wait for the ballots to get [...]
Time’s running out
Sunday, September 21st, 2008I just realized it’s almost the end of September and I still haven’t figured out if I’m able to cast an absentee ballot from Australia for the upcoming November presidential election! Eek. I guess I better start looking that up.
OK, I’m desperate
Sunday, September 21st, 2008I know in the previous post I said I wasn’t going to worry about not finding a house within our budget soon. Well, I must have lied because I’m worrying.
It seems all the houses within our price range are overpriced shitboxes and if they’re not, they just put the price lower so they could [...]
4 offers and 4 rejections
Friday, September 19th, 2008Well we’ve seen about a dozen houses. Most have been crap. There were 4 we were sort of interested in (1 we really liked although the exterior needed doing up, 1 we sort of liked but was small, 1 we loved the living room and needed some work, and 1 it was big [...]
The very popular Cricket?? (again, not the insect)
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008When I write a post on Lost In Australia, it’s basically because it’s on my mind and it’s what’s going on in my life at the moment. I don’t just pull a topic out of my ass and start to write about it. Because it’s true to life, sometimes my posts are long while other [...]
Mmmm
Monday, September 15th, 2008I placed an order at USAfoods for some of our favorites! Apple Jacks, Honey Combs, Snapple, Nutter Butters! When I received the package, I was like a big kid opening up her Christmas presents, oohing and aahing everything I took out.
I don’t have to order Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or Reese’s [...]
My son is turning into an Australian
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008My 2 year old son is becoming such an Australian. He has recently started saying “ta” (Australian for thank you) whenever he gives you something or takes something. It’s the cutest thing! I have no idea why Australians say “ta” instead of just saying “thanks”! While it’s strange, I’m cool with [...]
Whole different world
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008As you know, MJ and I often take LJ to go feed the ducks because it’s something to do and we actually have grown to enjoy it. Not only is it a great teachable moment for my toddler but it’s somewhat relaxing. Anyway, near the duck ponds are cow and sheep farms so we do [...]
The things that you realize
Monday, September 8th, 2008I was sorting through the million pictures I have on my camera’s memory cards and I came across some photos of the car I had in the US. Then the realization hit me like a ton of bricks - I truly and deeply miss my car. I know, of all things, I miss my car [...]
