I haven't written in a few days cause we have been pretty busy. Today I went to the Gold Coast Turf Club Family Day. I went with my step-mum's sisters. BB (baby brother) and i went into a petting zoo. We were sitting quietly next to a resting lamb and he was oh so cute! All the other kids were running around being brats and doing questionable things to the baby animals... I didn't like the feeling and i'm sure the baby animals didn't like it either. Anyway, BB and i were patting this lamb and a little girl came and sat next to us and started chatting away and i think BB didn't want to hear it so he turns around,looks at this girl and puts his hand over her mouth. It was so friggin funny.
Last night i took my little family out to dinner. We went to the revolving resturant at The Crown Plaza at Surfer's Paradise. The resturant is an all you can eat buffet and the food was AMAZING!!! I ate so much! Here is a run down of what i ingested: Oysters, thai noodle salad, moreton bay bugs, Steamed fish, Oysters kilpatrick, roast veggies, sushi, tira misu, black forest cake, chocolate mousse, watermelon, rockmelon (For anyone in America, That is cantaloupe) and then camembert cheese. So you could imagine, i was very full and looked at least 3 months pregnant! Well worth it though.
Tomorrow we are going shopping in Robina tomorrow.
When i was packing to come up here, I didn't bring as many clothes as i normally would. I usually bring heaps of clothes and only wear a certain few combinations. But now i have less clothes and i want more clothes to wear. The point? When in doubt, pack MORE clothes... Or don't, and it will give you a reason to go shopping.
Well, it is now 1.30am and i think i should go to bed now, despite having a 3 hour nanna nap when BB and i got home from the Turf Club.
Rock On!

Cloudy day
So today was nice. It was cloudy and a bit chilly actually and i realised i didnt pack anything like jumpers or trakkies....Or come to think of it, Any sort of long pants. So i had to rug up the brother in his pram (Knowing that he has a cold made my decision to go harder) and i walked up to the local shopping center to buy warm clothes.
I spent $150 just like that. Either the prices up here are exorbitant or i was ripped off and wasn't paying attention. I was only shopping for about half an hour. We stopped so the baby brother could have a ride at one of those ride-on cars that you put a dollar in and they get rocked backwards and forwards for 30 seconds. (I remember when i was younger it was like... Fifty cents for 4 minutes!...Again, ripped off) and i bought him a little frog that sung 'twinkle twinkle little star". He liked it for all of 5 minutes then he threw it out of the pram. (Ripped off...AGAIN!)
So i bought an umbrella cause i couldn't find one in the house to take with us and i thought it was going to rain. And if it did i would have had to shelter the brother from the rain with said umbrella whilst pushing the pram that banks right and trying not to get soaked myself. With all that said, It didn't rain.
So we got back home and Ma was home from work. I freaked out when i got to the front door to unlock it cause i heard voices inside the house and thought "Holy Shit! There is someone in there!" But it was Ma.
I have had a packet of smokes (25 in the pack) and they have lasted me 3 whole days! I had my last one just before i came to bed. Pretty good going i thought.
I digress.. So Ma made dinner (Crumbed fish with cheese and veggies) and relaxed for the rest of the night. So all in all, It was a nice day.
Tomorrow, Brother's little 4 year old cousin is coming over for a play date. Hopefully it will be sunny so they can play on the trampoline for a bit. And it will give me a chance to give my new camera a good test run.
My pillow is calling me to bed now so thats it till tomorrow.
Rock On!

Im on the Gold Coast.
So i am on the train on my way to the airport. It’s 7 in the morning. I’m off to the gold coast today. A is my escort to see me off and wave from the gate. It’s cloudy and chilly but im hoping its not at my said destination. It should be sunny but i have learnt to never trust the weather man. Anyway, here’s hoping...
The train has a certain smell...like cheap disinfectant and people. It’s not really a bad smell (thank god). The thing i hate most though, is the seats. They are unfomfortable and when you have lugguage, your only choice is to sit inside the carriage door. That’s not so bad cause you can see the people getting on or off. Everyone keeps to themselfs and avoid eye contact. I don’t think they did that back in the day, I think everyone conversed with each other and had a laugh. No people are paranoid about the person they are sitting next too. They are wondering where they are going, where they came from, if they murdered someone in the past 6 hours.
I shall sign off for now and update you when i am on the plane. I got to choose my seat so naturally i picked a window seat.
Ok. Couldn’t update on the plane cause there was NO room. But i am at my destination now. I flew through the clouds today. While everyone on the ground experienced a cloudy cold day, i was flying in the sunshine above the clouds. It may not sound like much fun but it was amazing. More people should try and get the window seat.
Well it’s now 11.00 at night and i’m done for today. Will write tomorrow. Peace Out!

My trip before my trip.
This is my baby bro Matty.
I booked my tickets to go to the gold coast in one week. I’m going up there to look after my baby brother who is 2 years old. My dad will be away for work and my step mum works so I am adhering to my sisterly duties and spending quality time with bub.
Our favourite thing to do is called ‘winter sunbaking’ BB (Baby brother) got a massive trampoline with a net around it for Christmas and we lay on it in the sunshine and sunbake. He loves it... I love it! He also LOVES watching ‘The Wiggles’. I myself am not quite so hot on them. I notice that kids absolutely love them and that’s great. But I can’t warm to them.
So I even had to go and buy new luggage. Now that’s done I am thinking about what to take. Clothes, cameras and the rest of it. It’ll all be good though. I love the whole journey to get there (The gold coast) the train trip to the subway to get to the airport. The hike to get to your terminal, the plane trip itself, and finally, seeing the desired people you are staying with and the end of the trip. I love that it’ll be sunny and warm up there. And I am VERY excited to spend a day on the beach h... lying in the sun, in the sand. Will be a good week.
