Every Christmas my family packs up and heads to the Grandparents to celebrate the holidays with the family. The last Christmas I had at home I remember getting just what I wanted, a 3 ft my-size Barbie—that says how long ago that was. This year my mom had the idea to go to Australia instead of doing gifts, or grandparents. Great choice. Traveling is high on the priority list in my family right in front of seafood and good wine. This trip had all of it.
We first arrived in Brisbane after a 16hr flight, and met up with one of my dad’s distributors for a late business lunch. When we got back to the hotel everyone passed out, but I wasn’t tired and went to the hotel bar/lounge to get some good Australian wine, and finish my book, The Brief and Wondrous Life or Oscar Wao. (Good book, but boring at parts) The next day we took a city tour and found out about the famous (in Aus) XXXX Brewery. The vote was unanimous, and after lunch in china town, we grabbed a taxi to the brewery. When I was in Dublin I did the Guinness Storehouse tour, which set the bar pretty darn high and was probably a bad choice as a first beer tour. Especially since Guinness is the BEST. Anyway, this tour started out with us sitting on a revolving stage surrounded by wax figures and a speaker system to make them talk. “Already worth it,” my sister said as the first wax person started giving us the history. It ended with 4 free half pints of beer, which I used 2/4 on their stout (pretty good) 1 on the bitter ale, and 1 on their new summer ale (too light, yuck). This was the first time my family has drank together. It was more fun than weird like I’d been expecting..
more later. gotta go bowling

I finished High Fidelity today at my favorite coffee shop. I ready the last chapter at top speed because a couple had arrived to the “make-out couch” as I like to call it and were using it to its full potential. gross
I’ve been frustrated lately with having lots of ideas and not being good at making them a reality. I wish I was better at drawing and making what I’m thinking visual. I did get a lot of sewing done the other day whilst sitting on my window sill watching the rain. It’s been raining hard for days. I gave my cardigan a make-over with short sleeves and new snazzy buttons, fixed the arm on my grocery bag, tightened up the buttons on my favorite skirt and sewed up moth holes in 2 shirts :/
If the world was fair and we could pick our own nicknames, I think I’d like to be called Wendy like from Peter Pan..
