joyous day

So, I obviously have not blogged since Easter and I do apologize for that, but something monumental has just happened and I had to post it.

For the first time since I was 16, I am 100% debt free. No car loans and, more importantly, no more student loans! I suppose its time for me to go back for my PhD now, eh?

Now, off to pack for our trip to the Great Ocean Road! Hopefully pictures to follow, but I suppose you never know with me...

Australia is...

beautiful extreme (google: 'Australia & poisonous'; image search: 'Australia & outback') unique from any place i've ever seen similar to every place i've ever seen simple and laid back difficult and uptight lonely eye-opening ...

turkey day in Oz - one day late

Brendan and I decided to attempt to cook a Thanksgiving meal with our minimal cookware in Australia (no, we still have not gotten our furniture). It was one day late because we opted to go out for drinks with some friends on Thursday. So, on Friday in 3 pots and 1 pan, we managed to make a feast of chicken (turkeys are too expensive here!), stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans, gravy, and apple pie. The source of some of the food was a bit dodgy, but dammit it tasted good (the secret was lots of butter and Sara Lee pie). Brendan carving the chicken, our serving platter, and our feast on our dining room table. We also used the good china.

I am not a huge fan of on-line Christmas shopping, but I have to admit that Amazon has made my life pretty easy today. It also amused me by knowing me so well...
