trouble is a friend

I haven't been doing heaps of shopping since I've been here. However, now that we're settled somewhere and the mall is about a 5 minute walk away I think we have been there every day. And I think just about every day I have come home with something. The last thing on my mind is trying to find stuff that I can wear at home as well as out here in the summer because I have bought nothing but dresses and skirts! and a simple white tank top...oh and black pants for my job interview. I'll be set for summer that's for sure, and summer in the city...certainly not at the lake. I guess it's a good thing I'm not going back to the lake. One thing I do kind of miss is amazing fall clothes.



We are going to make a thanksgiving dinner....even though we are a bit late because I suddenly have a mad craving for mashed potatoes and stuffing...and this way we can have better stuff then pumpkin soup and grilled cheese. We had a picnic the other night, we dressed up in matching outfits, had some wine, and ate on top of our bed....it was lovely. And the pumpkin soup really was delicious...I encourage everyone and anyone to either give it a go and make some homemade stuff or buy it if you can. It's so so good. That was around 5 and then around 9 we got hungry again and went to the mcdonalds that's a tiny ways down the road and had another dinner.



Today we are heading to the bank to open up a bank account....we have been putting this off for an extraordinarily long time. After that we will head to the post shop so Hannah can send a letter that she wrote forever ago and we've been putting off sending and then the mall because I need a pair of black flats...for work I promise. I never even thought to wear black shoes. I don't know how I am going to pack stuff when we leave. I have a feeling it will be next to impossible and I'll have to send stuff home. Today I might buy ______ and ______ so I can make some christmas presents and send them home along with some of my clothes. Good thing my family can handle getting homemade gifts. Along with something awesome from Australia of course. Something small and cheap. The only thing is everything that we have here is the same as at home. I mean obviously some of it is different but for the most part it's the same so I have a huge dilemma in trying to figure out stuff to buy for people.

So...I wasn't going to tell anyone this but I have a HUGE obsession with all things floral...and there is a ton of clothes here with a lovely floral pattern. I can pretty much guarantee it that I will be coming home with something covered in flowers which is quite a change from anything I currently have. Dont' worry everyone, I still love black clothing....today in fact my outfit consists of a black pencil skirt and a black shirt...with a white tank underneath...and my lovely gladiator sandals recently purchased. Maybe I'll take a photo later. I think we might be going out tonight, maybe just for dinner but possibly drinks as well. I'll take photos then.



Okay, I must stop procrastinating and get some stuff done!!!
