i am up at the crack of dawn thanks to a terrible nightmare that i was stabbed with a (large) knitting needle in the gap. and it hurt! are dreams supposed to actually feel like you're being stabbed?? i lost a needle in the bed (doin' some craftin' watchin' wife swap trying to decide if i'm the OCD wife or the dirty bitch wife) but i did find it. and why the gap and not michaels or joanns where they actually sell knitty needles? it does not compute. and also, ouch!!! getting stabbed really hurts, more than splinters and paper cuts even :|
anyway once awake i began to toss and turn about the things on my mind: what IS the correct way to eat a timtam? and do Australians and New Zealanders have the same passport? how is Australian target so different to American target? i heard it's worse... if you can possibly imagine a targhetto that sells sucky stuff :| and does anyone actually like Bindi the crocodile hunter's daughter? i like her crimped pigtails and she's sure chipper, but in that really annoying 'please-turn-the-channel NOW-...-what-do-you-mean-there's-something-blocking-the-magic-eye-thingie-do-something!!-help!- i-can't stand the squeaky-cleanness!-my-brain-is-filling-with-toxic-bubble-mixture!!-kill-the-TV!!!' kind of way :( (
ps i think the name Bindi is adorable though:)
also on my mind: whether to serve apple slices at the party - what if they go brown? what pictures to replace the present wall pictures with (which i should be doing now... stupid blog) can i walk to trader joe's, walgreens and michaels with both Danny and my pretend baby and get home within one hour today? do i move my precious holiday village for a party of 3 to 6 year olds? where to take Sam on our mommy date tonight? and do you still buy sibling gifts for a 9 year old big brother? if so, the boy wants a soft air gun with 80 bullets - must have 80 :| is that a bad thing to give to a 9 year old?? at a birthday party??! should i wait till sunday?! last thing that's stressing me out: Friday the mean cat is not represented on the holiday card. i have to figure out a way to incorporate her today :|
i need more coffee. and to reaaaallly look for those derned pics. seriously i have 17 terabytes of pictures but can i find 5 that look like a series, of which i love each one dearly and can process them all identically.... no i can not :(

So that you don't lie awake at night wondering about Australia:
ReplyDeleteOne doesn't eat a Tim Tam so much as suck or 'slam' it. It's a bit hard to explain without a demo, but you nip off adjacent corners then use the biscuit as a straw to drink hot milo (or tea) through. The middle of the biscuit melts and you have a few seconds of drinking before you must quickly stuff the whole thing in your mouth before it all disolves.
Once upon a time you could travel between Aus and NZ without a passport, but now you need one. And we each have our own version. And just so you know, assuming Aussie and Kiwis are one and the same is kind of like assuming Americans and Canadians are one and the same and may land you in hot water with some residents. But not with me :)
We have Target, which is pretty dire, and Target Country, which is truly awful. Targhetto indeed.
Nobody older than Bindi Irwin likes Bindi Irwin.
And her name? Well we have a really annoying prickle here that grows in the lawn. It's sneaky in that it's almost impossible to see and will penetrate even the toughest of heels on innocent barefoot trips to the letterbox. It's called a Bindi.
Bindi is very enthusiastic... like her dad. I can't take much of her though. I agree the name is sort of cute.
