Blog
One day I will get organised and motivated enough to take and download some photos to illustrate this thing again...
Well, Saturday is Australia Day, and I score a 3 day weekend cos Monday is the public holiday :) Yay for long weekends! Hopefully I will be learning how to bowl at some point this weekend (bowl - in cricket). I should probably stick to batting, but oh well.
I just finished my blog for the Rubicon. Last minute panic as always... I totally need more inspiration. Last weeks was awesome - I totally fell across that while reading a NASA article on Wednesday. I got my blog done early, yay!!! Pity noone commented on it. I am totally running low on ideas. Noone ever comments on my blog, so I never know what anyone found good or bad. Kudos to feedback already... sheesh. Oh well. Maybe the editors will get bored of my blogs and find someone better, and I can stop my weekly panicking.
Hmmm. I have bought a one way ticket to Toronto for late in April. So I am madly saving to have enough banked that Canadian Immigration will consider I have enough funds to support myself. Till I get a job anyway. I totally got my visa in like, a week - that's what you get for including all the info they ask for the first time around! Maybe SOME PEOPLE who are looking for a house approval in a certain estate on the Gold Coast will consider this when whining about how long their applications are taking to get approved... Seriously...
Ummmmm. I've been swimming a couple of times, been freaked out by a whopping great huge spider running out from behind the toilet door one morning this week - not cool. Got rid of a whole bunch of maggots that were all over the kitchen and dining room, having escaped from the bin where they appeared when someone threw meat out (in an indoor bin) during the hot weather... DISGUSTING - extremely not cool.
See what the warm weather brings?
The jamboree t-shirt I asked for to surprise Bec with a replacement for her dog-eaten one ARRIVED!!! Yay!! Totally cool :) Good one postal people - only took what, three months to get here? Ick.
ANYWAY, it is late, and I must work tomorrow. Yay for bed.
Good night and slaap lekker all. (no idea if that's how you spell it... it means "sleep well")
God be with you.

I know what you mean by uncommented blogs. But as long as you know it is read ... (I know mine is read, because I have a counter and the numbers are increasing.)
Hee, what about your ticket to Rotterdam... Your Dutch is excellent. "Slaap lekker" is exemplary Dutch (except that it is now 13:00 h, and I am way from going to sleep...)
A counter, eh? Hmmm... an interesting thought... :)
YESSSS! I totally remember some Dutch, yay me :) Apart from "Zijn wij er al?" that is :)
(probably can't spell, but oh well...)
I looked up working holidays to The Netherlands! Australians have a reciprocal health agreement with Holland that Canada doesn't, but apart from that... You have to jump through so many hoops to apply for a visa in Holland!!! You need to send and fill out 50 million things, and they want you to send them your actual passport... And when you get there, you have to register at the town hall... and its only for one year... *sigh*
Yeeeechhhhh - i can believe you had maggots in the kitchen - that'll make you spew in the morning.
Hey, what's this about sunbeam stuff? I'm starting to learn about it cuz i have to teach it sooon in our afterschool program starting up in March - i'm overwhelmed. wanna stop by cali on your way back to T.O. and teach me a few things? =P
lol, I wish, but my flight goes the other way round the world :)
If USA sunbeams is anything like the Aussie kind, and if peoples reactions to "girl guide" type things are anything like they are here, don't get hung up on the badges. it's not about getting badges. Well, it is for the kids. Think of the different badges as different ways you can interact with different kids - art, home skills, drama, sport. It's not like a sport or whatever, where you're always doing the same thing, and you need to like it.
In sunbeams, the kids get to achieve and feel a sense of accomplishment, and you get to demonstrate Christ in things relevant to them in a million ways/prove that Jesus isn't just in church or youth group.
But I have a feeling that Aussie sunbeams are different to the states. Not the least cos our program is getting a rewrite...
