What the...?
« Previous EntriesSettling and word of the day
Sunday, November 8th, 2009So I’ve been here a little over a year and a half and I do believe I’m just settling in now. As a result I don’t have that many interesting little stories anymore or if I do, I’m so busy with the boys that I forget what I wanted to write when I have [...]
Getting used to the Australian germs
Monday, January 19th, 2009It’s been nearly a year since I’ve been here and I’ve been sick so many freaking times. And not just a cough and cold, I mean MAJORLY sick. Today I’m on my 3rd day of horrible stomach pains, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness. This has nothing to do with the pregnancy. My [...]
Is it me…
Monday, January 12th, 2009Or are Australians are so truly laid back to the point that they’re sooooo slow??
We were out running errands today so we didn’t get a chance to cook dinner so we quickly went into town to a fast food place to get some pasta. It took 25 minutes to get 1 bowl of [...]
Family friendly sex shop in Brisbane????
Friday, October 31st, 2008I know that I have mentioned that Australia is very family friendly but a family friendly sex shop in Australia?? Oh c’mon, what lowlife will take their 3 year old to a sex shop and tell them “ok behave and draw me a picture with this nice lady while I go shop for naughty underwear“.
Australians are slobs
Saturday, October 18th, 2008We went to McDonalds today. We don’t normally dine-in at McHeartAttack but LJ was very upset that we took him away from the park where there were some fun Children’s Week activities so to make it up to him we went for some McNuggets. As soon as we walked in, the mess hit me. On [...]
There’s trash everywhere
Saturday, October 11th, 2008Yesterday, I had a craving for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups so my hubby took me to a candy store (that’s confectionary shop in Australia) where they sell some American candy. On our way out and back to the car, I saw a little girl about 3 years old and her mother walking toward us. The [...]
When feathered friends attack
Sunday, October 5th, 2008I had written about how aggressive the ducks are here. Well the agression isn’t limited to Australian ducks. It seems that all Australian bird species are fiesty little buggers.
A few months ago, we were nearly attacked by a plover (yes those annoying birds that keep me awake throughout the night and morning). MJ had to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Will you be my friend?
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008Having left all my friends behind in the US, I have no friends other than my hubby, his friends, and his family in Australia. And I’m feeling lonely. So I ask – how do you make friends in Australia?
I’m not currently working so I can’t make friends through the workplace. I do go out shopping [...]
