The Monday after Easter here in South Australia is a public holiday. That means that I had the day off, which was nice since I was sick. I woke up at 4 something in the morning because Morgan and Ellie were getting ready to head off to Kangaroo Island for their three-day tour. I know your next question will be – "Why aren’t you going Hilary?" This was my mom’s question when I told her why I was still sleeping when she called at 8:30 this morning. So here's the answers to your question:
1.) I really like what I am doing at work and want to get as much done as I can before I leave next Thursday.
2.) Also, I have a hard time spending nearly $600 on a three-day tour to Kangaroo Island. I can go to Victor Harbor and see the same thing if I really wanted. Minus the honey they make on KI, but I can buy that in a gift shop at Hahndorf if I really want it.
3.) I am at the point in my trip here that I am sick of seeing and doing new things. I am so ready to be home.
So I finally fell back asleep at about 6:30. I slept until my mother called and I chatted with her for a bit – it was Easter in the states so she called to say ‘Happy Easter’. I was trying to decide if I should bring something back from Australia to be auctioned off at Doug’s benefit, but the only thing I could think of is a painting that is hanging on my boss’ wall so I am going to ask her to see if I can get a copy somewhere. If no one else bids, I will because I like it. We discussed Doug's benefit on the phone and that's where those thoughts came from, most of you don't know Doug unless you're from Dysart.
I stayed in bed a bit longer and then got up and ate some cereal while watching the news. I love to hear the news, just not some of the extra crap that comes along with it. For example: how much those in Hollywood make, who in Hollywood is going to stay together, break up or have a baby in 2009, if Madonna will end up getting Mercy from Malawi after all, the ridiculous things that they sell on the tv shows (although I do kind of secretly want a PedEgg – I don’t need it, I just want to see if it works. Look at the commercial here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvFqrnEXxmM. I am just amazed that the balloon doesn't pop!)
I then crawled back in bed for a bit. Where I got hit by the umbrella yesterday hurts quite badly today. It didn’t at all yesterday, but she got my tailbone and it’s quite painful just to move around. It also didn’t help that I just felt like complete crud when I woke up and throughout the day. So I spent the day lounging around the house, doing laundry, and just catching up on some rest. I had to cancel on going to Sam and Christian’s barbie tonight. I’ll have to catch up with them sometime before I head back to the States.
I watched Ellen today… it was a rerun, but one I hadn’t seen. She got George Clooney on her show by baiting him with two of his favorite baseball players who have retired. It was a good show – even if it was a rerun from Martin Luther King Jr. day this year. I have decided that one of my goals in life is to be on The Ellen Show. I know you are thinking – great aspirations Hilary. (This is me being sarcastic by the way – not about my goal, but your thoughts about my goal.) Seriously though, they have so much fun on that show and you get free things. And Ellen is hilarious. I took a nap and then watched Three Dollars. That movie takes you on so many rollercoasters when you least expect it. I will not give any of the plot away, but will say that you should watch it and it comes highly recommended by me.
I made some egg salad last night, tried making a sweet potato (it wouldn't cook all the way through) and watched some of the movie Picture Perfect. It has Jennifer Aniston in it and it's pretty decent. I watched the news again. The protests in Bangkok are quite frightening. I know a few people who went there for holidays this week so I'm hoping that they are alright and will be able to get back. They were saying that the airport is being closed. On the other side of Oz, there are floods again in Queensland. Wildfires in Oklahoma and the Captain was rescued from the pirates. The world just seems so chaotic and crazy right now. I'll leave you to ponder.
Cheers.
