Snacks in Australia...

There are many different snacks here and instead of writing about them I'll just be snapping photos and posting them. The Burger Rings remind me of Wise Onion Rings. The Doritos are slightly different than the US version. You cannot go into a grocery store and buy nacho cheese, you can buy plenty of salsa but no queso.

Unemployed...

So, coming to Australia and not having to work for a bit seemed so nice. It is nice, but there's one thing I do miss about working.....the MONEY. If my husband brought home over $100k, we could easily afford me not working. I want to buy clothes, I have gained 20lbs since being here and really cannot afford to buy a whole new wardrobe. The summer is almost here, today will be 92F and all I can wear are some dresses that I have that are not fitted. Most of my shorts are tight, or just uncomfortable because it seems I've gained inches in my ass, my thighs, my belly and my boobs (they were big enough already). I feel I have no drive or motivation, it sucks, I have this laziness in me that could easily sit around and just do nothing, then I get angry at myself. Two things I hate most are having to do dishes and an unmade bed. For the bed, it's a joy to do, though a slight pain in the ass with a king, but T "helps" so it's rather fun. The sink here is on the smallish side and when I cook or bake it's a pain to wash things when the pans don't fit in the sink, plus the water is a little on the hard side and I've noticed spots on my glasses and utensils (hate). Having a job would put me in contact with people. I go through days without speaking to anyone verbally other than my husband, I do love him very much, but sometimes you just want to talk to another woman. Once or twice a week I call my mom on Skype, but really what I want is female chit chat, sharing recipes and things I used to do at MFS. I sooo don't miss that place and the silliness of many of their procedures and conduct, but I do miss the people I would speak with on a daily basis. I am determined to find a job and soon as I will have no money to buy my husband a Christmas present or to put gas in my car. I'm waiting for my mom to access my old computer and see if my resume is in there, I thought I had put it on a memory stick, but the only thing on it are photos, and that won't help me find a job here. I pray hard that we win the lotto, so I don't have to worry about working, but I need to get a job for my own sanity. If I don't get a job soon, there will be no money for our trip in July to New York and Croatia, and that would upset me greatly. :(
