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 [...]
Happy Father’s Day
Sunday, September 7th, 2008Yep, you read that right. It’s Father’s Day in September in Australia. This is MJ’s first Australian Father’s Day as a father. We were in the US for other Father’s Days and we always celebrated in June. MJ would try to worm his way into getting 2 a year (June & September). However, it never [...]
And the differences continue
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008We’ve officially begun our house search in Australia. And boy is it different than our home buying search in the US. First, I’ll start with the positives.
1. We may be able to afford a house in Australia solely on 1 income! In the US, MJ and I had to both work full-time to be able [...]
So lost
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008On Monday, I decided to take a drive to an area of town I have never driven in before and wasn’t exactly sure how to navigate myself through the streets. I told myself that the town isn’t so big and I have a GPS so what’s the big deal. I must have been feeling very [...]
My hubby is a revhead
Monday, August 4th, 2008MJ loves cars. I mean, he LOVES cars. He loves them so much he knows a lot of useless crap about them. I’ll be fair…sometimes, just sometimes, the crap isn’t completely useless and he does know his way around a car and he’s able to play mechanic at times. Today we [...]
LJ has been waitlisted
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008I just completed an application for enrolment (enrollment in the US) for LJ to enter Kindergarten in 2011. Yes, I know it’s a bit early but apparently there’s already a waitlist for this particular private school so I have to start now! If we can’t find a private school that we like and that accepts [...]
The Ball
Sunday, July 27th, 2008About a month ago, MJ came home from work and announced that we had to go to a charity dinner. While dinner parties always make me a bit nervous because that means I have to actually have small-talk with people I don’t know, I thought sure no problem - what a great way to meet [...]
I’m a quitter
Friday, July 25th, 2008I know I was supposed to give detailed posts of what was happening while I was waiting for my laptop and I haven’t. Mainly because I didnt have time and to be honest, sometimes I’m a bit lazy so when I do have time I can’t be bothered to do anything productive. Isn’t that horrible?? [...]
Forever 23
Monday, July 21st, 2008I had a birthday a few days ago! My first birthday in Australia and it was cold! It’s not supposed to be cold in July. I was a summer baby - not a winter baby! So that was strange but other than that, I had a good birthday with my wonderful hubby and spectacular son. [...]
I did it…
Thursday, July 17th, 2008I survived my first week (well 3 days) of work. Yea I know I didn’t get a chance to let you know that I had applied for a job and actually got it! It’s too soon to tell if I like it or not. The people I work with are very nice. The environment/space is [...]
