Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi my goodness!

Anyone keeping tabs on that massive flood in Australia? well, for those of you who don't know...my hot hubby is from "down unduh" and all of his family is down there with the exception of his dad and sisters. His mum (aussie for "mom") just flew out there to visit, and he's got one of those families where he's got like 13 aunts and uncles (only on his mum's side, mind you) and like a bafalabillion cousins (never heard of that number?...that's cause is one of those super high numbers that you couldn't even imagine...in your wildest dreams!). For those of you who don't know...like a third of Australia is now underwater. The news says the area that is flooded is now bigger than Germany and France combined! The majority of his family lives in Sydney, and the flood is in the Queensland area which is north of there, but since the flood is steadily getting worse, i fear that it won't be long until the ocean swallows Sydney in it's entirety. Well, David's family along with the rest of Australia are in my prayers.

hahaha...flood? what flood? pull up a cheh and grab a beeyah mate!

Sweet & Salty

I'm eating some cheddar Sun Chips with my chocolate covered macadamia nuts right now....like i have to put a chip in my mouth followed by a bite of chocolate and chew them together. that's like my favorite combo...is that weird? My husband thinks it is, but I figure it's like eating fries with a frosty or prezels dipped in chocolate...and everyone does that. But I also like eating spam and eggs combined with Berry Colossal Crunch (it's the bootleg Capt. Crunch...but better!)...is that weird? I think this is one of the many reasons my husband doesn't really ask me to cook...hmmmmm

Lucky Me!

Sooooo...Christmas wasn't too long ago and my two daughters were gifted so many dolls and toys that my room is now cluttered...which i HATE because i spent like a million hours organizing and cleaning it all in like...november....which...now that i think of it...isn't very smart, because cleaning and organizing right before Christmas is like.......like sweeping your front yard. But out of all of these cool, new, sparkly toys that are spilling out of every box, container, drawer and closet.....my daughter's fave?

uh...yeah...that's a frickin DUSTER!...
(props to that awesome green carpet on the stairs!)no worries...the duster is brand new...i thought that if she was gonna be carrying it around all the time, i might as well try to show her how to use it *genius*... I'm still trying (let's all cross our fingers!)...she's convinced it's a bunny rabbit...a bright, neon bunny with no ears (I'm glad she doesn't think it's cotton candy). But anyone who has ever spoken to my daughter, knows that she has a HUGE imagination. I know that I'll never have to waste my money on teddy bears because we have pillows, or on barbies because i can grab pine cones for free. Am I a mean mom for deceiving my daughter?...nope, I'm a very lucky mom whose daughter's incredible imagination can turn dull and ordinary things into beautiful and interesting toys.
