"Grubs Up!"

Meetng a New Yorker

I met a girl from New York! She is really nice & we went on a search for the Dip n Dots shop! Amazing that they had them I know!! She showed me the other side of the harbour, which I had yet to be on. It was the historic area known as The Rocks. It was a fun afternoon!

Old Post Box

My dreams have been crushed...

So you have all obviously heard that Oprah is doing her first ever international show in Australia.

Well what you probably don't know is that you have to register & be put in a raffle to get tickets.

I registered for both of the two tapings at the Opera House.

24 hours later, I recieved this e-mail:

"Thank you for your interest in attending The Oprah Show from Sydney, Australia.

Unfortunately, we were unable to accommodate your request(s) for this ticket reservation window due to overwhelming demand. We will email you if more tickets become available for these tapings of The Oprah Show in Sydney, Australia.

So after I finish crying, I move on! Only to recieve this ANOTHER 24 hrs later:

"Thank you for your interest in attending 'The Oprah Show' from Sydney, Australia. You are receiving this email because we have had reports that some of you may not have been able to view the previous version that was sent. We are sending this email to ensure you are aware of the status of your ticket request(s).

Thank you Oprah Team for not only crushing my dreams once, but kicking me while I was down! I see how it is. UGH!!!

PS: Oprah, that A380 Quantas plane your flying your 300 fans on has been grounded for weeks due to engines blowing up! Enjoy the flight jerks!

(ok so that was a little mean...Oprah please tell your captain, John Travolta to try not to crash)

Ummm..well..yeah...

So Piper has the mumps. A childhood disease that I have never had. Uh Oh... So she is home with me all this week. Quarantined basically. Which is unfortunate, because the weather is beautiful after a week of rain and thunderstorms. Mumps is transferred through saliva and these kids are dribble machines. I am about 115% positive that it has already been spread from Piper to Bella and most likely to me. Although, we can't be sure because of the dormant period. Oh boy!

Where is the super genius we are waiting for that can cure this crap??

Hmm...that is what I would like to know.

Redbull Flugtag 2010

Super Schooner

The view from our seat!

Bridezillas

(men all dresed up as brides was HILARIOUS)

This was a great thing to go see!

I met up with a group of people who were from the states.

I got really sunburnt on my face & now have racoon eyes!

(shame on me for not wearing sunscreen)

It was super duper hot and redbull was exceptionally cheap that day!

Oh did I mention there were 30,000 people there?!?

An Au-Pair Weekend

This past weekend I made some new friends!

They are all other au-pairs who all happen to be from Germany.

Yes, there was a language barrier.

They would start talking in German & look at me like they

were waiting for me to reply, then it would click that I speak English!

Fun fun day though!!

PS: My usually amazing hair is frizzy in this picture, because it was raining and I didn't have an umbrella.

Yay!!

I have been in Oz for two months!!

It's great! I have met a group of girls who all happen to be from Germany!

They are all great fun!

(Next time we ge together I will get a piccie!)
