Surfs Up, Dude
I went surfing for the first time a few weeks ago!
Let me say that I didn´t expect to get up right away or be amazing by any means, but I didn´t expect it to be SO INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT!
It was a really windy day, so it made it even more difficult, but getting past the initial waves was exhausting. As soon as I got out into calm water, I collapsed on my board and resisted taking a small nap.
I...

People next door are having a party
and are being super loud. This is probably revenge for the party we had on Friday… only they are singing loudly instead of playing loud music AND its a Monday night, not a Friday night.
I sorta feel like calling the cops because this is much more inappropriate.

Guys, these are not chips.
These are chips.
And this is a biscuit.
You’re welcome.

Just watched "Being Elmo"
Cried straight through the last half of the documentary. I think it might be because I never really comprehended how much of an impact Elmo has had on the world. Henri loves Elmo and I´m so grateful for that because Elmo stands for love and is the perfect example of how we should treat each other.

I was forced to shower with a Huntsman...
I wake up this morning, grab my towel and groggily walked to the bathroom and turned on the light. Took off my pajamas, hung my towel on the hook and pulled back the shower curtain and turned on the water.
As soon as the water started going, I saw a FLURRY of legs and I jumped back and screamed, almost had a stroke, and ran out of the bathroom. Naked.
I HAD to take a shower. I needed to. So it...

The Search For A New Roommate..
or as they call them here, flatmate or housemate.
We have been searching for a new person to move into the front room of our house for at least 2 weeks now. The Aussie guy living there moved out and we haven´t had any word from him at all (weird.. ) so we needed to find a replacement asap to pay the rent etc.
Now we´re not just looking for anyone, we don´t want a dud roommate, but I think so far...

Productive Zombie Day
I worked at the bar from 12pm, until 2am yesterday, got home at 2:30am and went to bed. It took me so long to fall asleep even though I was exhausted. My feet hurt so much that the pain was actually keeping me awake. Finally at around 3am, I fell asleep.
I really don´t like to sleep in on my “days off” because I feel like it wastes opportunity of doing something awesome, or being...

When I first heard someone say adidas...

There was a spider in my hair today
I will never accept things that creep and crawl. EVER. I´m officially freaked out.

Liquorland
Liquorland is a liquor store here (obviously). Aussies fondly refer to liquor stores as Bottle Shops or to be more abbreviated, “Bottle-o”s.
The number of times I’ve purchased alcohol in a Bottle-o can be counted on one hand, just because liquor is so expensive here. When I do find myself inside one of these usually tiny, hole-in-the-wall, places, I am buying wine. I have to...

I have Saturday night off!
I got a text message asking if I wanted Saturday night off and I said YES. I haven’t been out on a Saturday night in Sydney pretty much since I started my job at the bar. Not only am I going out with my friend Laura, I’m going to take advantage of the opportunity to maybe do a bit of traveling.
I’m going to see if I can go to the Blue Mountains and take beautiful pictures like...

Thanksgiving Down Under Pt. 1
Happy Thanksgiving again to everyone!
It was so nice to be able to silently celebrate it on Thursday here in Sydney but then also see all my family celebrating as well on Friday, which was Thursday back at home (If you can´t keep up).
Now, on Sunday (tomorrow), I´m having a Thanksgiving dinner for all of my friends, which, interestingly enough, include very few Americans! I´ve been introduced to...

Remember that day last week when I was a model?
Today was the day where I went back into the studio to see the pictures and I was more nervous to see them than I was when I actually had them taken! I´ve had some good photogenic moments in my life, just like the rest of the world has, but I´ve had some really awkward photo moments as well and I didn´t know which category these photos would fall...
