Dear Australia



Well, it has been quite a while since we've done one of these so here are a few that have been building up in our brains...

Dear Australia, why do you give us wonderful free-to-air digital tv and then the week before LOST starts something happens and now we don't get any signal? Why, why do you do it?

Dear Australia, why do you have so many spiders that build webs at head height across sidewalks? It is the worst to be walking in the hot and get webbed across your face.

Dear Australia, why do you have Australia Day in the middle of the week? Great, I get Tuesday off, but if I have to work Monday and Wednesday; what is the point?

Dear Australia, replacing Jay Leno with Full House reruns... we couldn't be happier, except that now our tv reception has disappeared and we can't watch it.

Dear Australia, why can public transportation run relatively on time but public health not? A two hour wait for a 10 minute appointment is pretty outrageous, especially when you find yourself walking into the hospital for a 9:30 appointment just ahead of your doctor who takes appointments starting at 8:30. Color us unimpressed.

Dear Australia, so far the summer heat has been better than we expected. If we had A/C at home like we did in Bozeman, it would be no worse and maybe even a bit milder (except on those really humid days). Of course, we don't have A/C so it's hot in our apartment all day, every day.

Dear Australia,
Sometimes we have the 4th of July in the middle of the week and people only get that day off.

Sometimes are the doctors late due to emergencies?

Please fix the TV reception for Kelly and Tyler - especially for LOST. Tyler really likes it and it is the last season.

Do you have any hats with wide brims to catch the spider webs before Kelly and Tyler walk into them?

Thank you,
Mary from the USA

one word: "puente." Literally, bridge in Spanish, but much more importantly, the Spanish custom of building "puente" weekends. If there's a holiday or a saint's day or Constitution Day or whatever on a Thursday or Tuesday (and sometimes even a Wednesday), congrats! You just got a 4 or 5 day weekend!

America needs to adopt this, stat. Sounds like Australia, too.

thinking of you guys and loving this cute blog.

Kel!
You are so cute...and your hair is super long! Don't you just love Prenatals and pregnancy hormones?!? I can't believe you only have 5 weeks left! Are you getting anxious? It's so hard to believe that Parker will be here after 9 months of mystery! I think it's hilarious that he kicked Tyler...does he move a lot? I keep waiting for her movement to be stronger and more pronounced but it seems to be about the same...does it get stronger? Keep us posted!
