White Christmas!!

And what a white christmas it was.
I wasn't expecting SO MUCH snow!!!

Let's say there was enough for my heart's contentment...



Happy Holidays everybody!

Call me crazy

Mes valises sont bouclées.
Ouais. MES valises.
Je déteste voyager avec deux valises. Surtout quand je suis toute seule et que j'ai plein de connections et de transfert de terminaux, etc.
Mais bon, c'est le prix que je vais payer pour avoir acheté tous mes cadeaux de Noël ici. En fait, le vrai prix, je le saurai demain, parce que mes valises sont trop lourdes pour le petit vol de Adélaïde à Sydney. J'ai seulement le droit d'avoir 20kg en tout, et que mes deux valises ensemble pèsent 32kg...

Etk.


J'y pensais tantôt en pactant tous mes trucs.
Il n'y a probablement pas grand monde qui serait si excitée que moi à partir d'ici:
(j'ai pris cette photo la dernière fois que je suis allée à la plage)


Pour venir ici.



But I can't wait.
See you soon guys!

Always last minute.

I can't help it.

I have been running around like a headless chicken all week. I have worked everyday since tuesday and have finished my christmas shopping. I have not seen this week pass, and now, it's like 12 hours before I have to leave the house and my suitase is not ready.

Actually, I haven't started packing.

All the stuff is on the guest room bed, and my suitcase is there, beside it, but I haven't actually put things in. That's because I was still getting some stuff for mom and steph this morning before work. But now, I have everything.

And so it begins.

Congé

J'ai seulement une journée de congé cette semaine, et c'est aujourd'hui.
En fait, c'est ma dernière avant de m'envoler.
Nous avons encore une semaine de fou au restaurant. Je pars lundi matin de bonne heure, et je travaille sans arrêt jusqu'à dimanche soir, c'est pour dire.

Alors, aujourd'hui, c'est le temps de faire mes dernière emplettes, sortir ma valise, choisir mon linge et commencer à tout pacter.

J'ai acheté mon billet d'avion pour me rendre à Sydney et je commence à être stressée de prendre l'avion...


Ça commence à être vrai, là.

Oh well...

Pooch

I went to water the garden today, and I saw Chomsky chewing on a bone she had dug up.
She was too cute to not take a picture.



Then I realized how I'm gonna miss her when I'm gone.

Good to know

That I still get excited about things typically Australian.
A few days ago, Allen came back from work with some mangoes picked straight our of one of his co-worker's mango farm.

And boy, I am telling you.
Those mangoes are the best ones I have had, ever. By a longshot.
First of all, they are humongus. Check this out! Barely fits in my hand!



And they are so fragrant I can smell them from my living room!
And oh, so so good!! It had nothing to do with the mangoes I have eaten all my life aka, the ones you get from the market. The difference is shocking.

I was thinking, while I was eating it, that I had never done that before. Eaten a mango fresh off the tree. Thought that was exotic. Still.

A question of time.

Let's say you are at a restaurant and it's a really busy night. The place is completely full and the waiters are running their little tushies off.

The times passes, you have a wonderful meal, you drink, you have great conversations, and the end of the evening aproaches.

The restaurant starts emptying.

Then, you realize your table is the last one still sitting there.

You've finished your wine and had your coffee.
Maybe you've even paid your bill.


How long do you deem fair to stay all alone in the restaurant?
Until what time do you feel comfortable keeping the whole staff waiting for you to go so they can completely reset the restaurant and close up behind you?

1- Do you calculate how long it's been since you've been the last ones in the restaurant and go on that

2- Do you just look at your watch to decide when it's time to leave

3- Do you not care at all


If you would please answer which of the three situations would dictate your actions in this situation, it would help me lots.


Tell you why later...
