I have had the best time ever this weekend. I'm saving all the good info for the podcast, but here are some pictures:

sometimes it's better to say nothing at all.

Today had a major setback. But, instead of going over that, I'd rathar show you pictures of the happy times of my day.


He we are at the K9 Olympics:
And here are a few of my favorite pictures from the ranch where Jess boards:
So. That's it for now.

Another New Episode!

Since technology is working better today, episode #16 has been uploaded and is ready to listen to! Here's the link.


In other news, I am exhausted. Paisley & I went to the Balloon Glow with my parents tonight and it was okay. Pretty crowded, and parking, as always, was horrid. I wanted to take heaps of pictures except that I didn't have my tripod and Paisley wasn't too happy to sit still long enough for a longer shutter timing.

So, yeah.

I'll put balloon pictures up tomorrow. I'm too lazy to get my cord and upload them tonight. I need a wireless camera card...

Anyone Else Remember

...when vox had QOTDs that were worth answering? I need a filler tonight, and this sponsorship nonsense is of no help to me.


Soaked and set the twist in my first ever navajo ply yarn today. I'll post pictures tomorrow when it's dry.

Went to knitting and cast on for the herringbone mitts.

Other than that, I got nothin.

The Longest Monday Ever.

HOME!!! Left Brisbane at 11 am on the 10th. Got to LA at 7 am on the 10th. Got to STL at 5pm on the 10th.


This day lasted 40 hours.
That was our plane. It was 2 levels. And awesome.

We got recognized TWICE at the airport for being on the Today Show Australia! Here's the link to the video. The guy's face at the end is priceless.

Paisley missed us. Jess painted her toe nails pink:
That's all for now. More tomorrow. Hopefully good news will be included...

The First Day In Sydney

We got to Sydney about 10 am or so today. Took a cab to the hotel which is right in the middle of everything. Got our things to the room and headed out.

The Opera House was smaller than I thought it'd be. But, it was really neat-o on the inside. The cupcake shop was neat. They looked at us like we had 8 heads when Scott wanted milk with his cake. Just regular, cold milk. I guess no one does that here? The streets tell you which way to look for traffic on the curb. I guess they have lots of people from other places (like us) where everything is opposite.

I had a really good sandwich for late lunch. Chicken and avocado. We were going to go out to dinner, but when we started moving around I was feeling no good. :( So, we're in for the night.

More tomorrow!

Brissie - Day Two

Having been here only two days, the days are already blending together.


In the morning, I had an "American Breakfast."
It was good, but the waffles tasted more like a waffle cone than regular waffles. I liked the bananas on top. I give it an A.

Scott had a photo shoot and interview with MX (a newspaper). While he did that, I took a wander into the Queens Street Mall, which is extremely large and deceptive.
The managed to fit a 3 level target in there though! It's NOTHING like the Targets at home. The clothes are all very different, dressier mostly. There's really no food or stationary section or anything.
That's a map of the mall of deceptiveness.
When Scott was done with the interview, we were supposed to go to the koala sanctuary, but we missed the bus because I didn't know you had to hail it like a taxi. But, the bus stop was across from the library which is super neat. Here are some pictures of that:
Instead, I showed him the mall and we wandered in there a bit. I had a mushroom and pepperoni pizza, but it was really strange because the sauce wasn't tomato. It was sweet, and kind of good, but I felt a little sick after having it. When we were getting ready to leave, we tried to cut through a store to get to the elevator. A few steps in, I stumbled upon isles and isles of YARN! It was a big box craft store! Scott let me touch everything and then we left. :)

We started to get hungry, so I looked for a restaurant that served kangaroo while Scott worked out. Found one, and we headed out. As we left, I stopped at level 8 to snap a quick shot of the heated pool we swam in yesterday:
It was really pretty at the restaurant, it was off the water by the Story Bridge. Here was my dinner:
I thought those yellow things were potatoes. They were NOT. They tasted of poison and it was horrifying. But the steak was good. They wouldn't do it up well or medium well because it's a tougher meat, so I ate around the fleshy bits. I don't like to see that the meat had blood.

When we left, I took a picture of the bridge:
Tomorrow we'll go to the sanctuary for real. Scott's got two big interviews and I'll get to visit a local knitting group in the evening. More pictures tomorrow!

Brisbane, Australia - Day One

We arrived safely and the plane ride was actually quite enjoyable. I got some knitting done on the ride from St. Louis to LA, but not a lot from LA to Brisbane. After being served what Scott and I called "Second Dinner," they had the cabin lights shut off nearly the entire flight, and it seemed really terrible to turn the lights on while literally everyone but me was sleeping. So, I watched several movies and TV shows, and then after having been up for 27 hours straight, I managed to sleep for about 3. Then we all got breakfast on the plane. There were tons of snacks in between the meals, they'd walk around every 2 or 3 hours, and you'd get another snack pouch. It was awesome. They also gave you a little care package when you got to your seat. It had a blanket, headphones, socks, and some other stuff. I guess when your flight is several thousand dollars, it's not that much to add in things like that. :D


The airplane safety booklet was pretty funny. Here was my favorite part:
When we arrived in Brisbane, it was 6 am on Sunday the 2nd. We went through customs and Scott's client met us at the airport. After we loaded up, we went to the hotel to drop off our stuff and headed out to second breakfast and a wander around the town. Here are a few of the shots I took in the area that I think they call the West End. It was really pretty.
I think we may take a ride on this wheel sometime during our stay.
A lot of the buildings are really ornate. This was across the street from China Town.
Managed to find a yarn shop. Shocking. :D
That's all for now. You can see more pictures on my Flickr album for day one, here.

Today, Scott has some interviews and I'm going to wander to the next plaza where there's a Target! I am interested to see how different it is. I'm also interested to see how the heck they fit it inside of this crazy layered shopping mall type building. :D

I think that today is also the day we'll go to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.

Another Monday.

Hey all. I'm home, and back into the groove.


Today was an interesting day. Woke up to wet work clothes, so I threw those in the dryer and ate cake and played on line in my towel while waiting for them to dry. :) It would have been quite the picture, but don't worry, I didn't take one.

Went to work, accomplished a lot, came home and took a bunch of pictures. Here is the progress that was made in flight and on the S bus in Miami on my Tree Jacket:
And then here is the sari skirt that I picked up at the Swap Shop in Florida:
And, though these weren't taken today, here's Tammy's Birthmas yarn that she got in the mail today!!! (And was surprised like I'd hoped she'd be):
It's 521.5 yards of blue faced lester love in about sport weight. It looks exactly as I'd hoped - like a melted purple popsicle. :)

That's all for now. Tomorrow should be a fun day. I'm thinking about attempting to record my very first podcast... It definitely won't be up yet, but it will be a good start!!
