Catching Up

So got to catch everyone up on the past couple of days. But i'm gonna put the details of my trip to the aussi zoo today on the next blog.
After i got back from the reef, i was able to get a couple of t-shirts as souvineers (you know, saves me a day or two of laundry). I had to catch a flight on Virgin Blue that left at 6:10am, but i had to be up before 5am cause my taxi came at 5. Ugh, it was a rough go. But my roomies woke up long enough to wish me the best, which was nice of them.
Then the taxi guy was complaining about his wife... ugh. But i breezed through security, and didn't have to wait to long for the boarding process. Now, one of those t-shirts i bought was a spoof of Virgin Blue. Basically it said, "Virgina Blue: the quicket one way root" Get it? lol. The two stewardesses were about my age, and come on, at 6am, i needed SOMETHING to get me moving in the morning, and finding out their reaction to the shirt was worth it. They were really cheery for that early, and the shirt got a few laughs from the people who took the time to really see the shirt and not just assume it was a typical Virgin Blue shirt. lol. Getting to talk to the girls helped pass the morning. Ya, i'm a flirt, it's not my fault though, i was born that way. lol
But crystal was there to meet me at the terminal from the plane. She'd been to "splednour in the grass" (think woodstock for aussies) the past few days, so was about as tired as me. We swung by the grocery, got some REAL bacon, some eggs and a few other snacks, like oreos, and headed home for breakfast. Which she was super nice to cook up for me, she even did the dishes. ya, amazing, i know. lol
I pretty much zonked out for the rest of the day. Was up long enough to grab my stuff from my cousin james place. He had been at a work conference at Ayers rock, and had just gotten back the day before. He had some cool pictures of his trip to share, and some like, highschool yearbook about his fellow co-workers to show us. His pic in there was of him, dressed as a clown around age 10 maybe, playing the piano. It was pretty funny. lol. And then dinner with crystal and russell before coming back and crashing back in bed. B/c we were going to the australian zoo early in the morning. Of course, i had to read a little of this new Wilbur Smith novel (The Seventh Scroll), while Crystal set her pc up in her room so as to not keep me awake. But as it often happens with me, i got immersed in my book, and seeminly rather soon, Crystal came out around midnight to go to bed and found me still awake reading. I was exhausted, but i didn't notice it while i was wrapped up in my book. Ya, see, i'm a nerd. lol
But, got some sleep, and up early to get ready for my experience with the crocs and other exotic native animals of the zoo.
