Ok, I have had an issue lately. I am being teased for eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I also eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Australians find both of these to be vile and wrong. "What do your kids take to school for lunch?" I ask. "Vegemite sandwiches," is the response. Really?
I have this saying... that I just made up: Let he who does not consume vegemite sandwiches cast the first stone as to what is "wrong" to put between two slices of bread.
I am officially an Australian library card holder! Marie and I went to the library and joined yesterday. I did it more for the printing and photocopying privileges, but I also checked out 3 books. I got a Stephen King book. I have never read him before, but lots of people like Stephen King books, so I decided to give it a whirl. I'm still working on The Girl Who Played with Fire (I've been told since I haven't completed it in 4 days that I am a slow reader).
I have also pretty much planned out the trip my mom and I will take when she gets here. Itinerary below:
