Seal poop…and other stuff.

I went to the beach the other day and smelled some fresh seal poop for the first time. =) I had a nice little walk through some intense muddy conditions, but I made it to the seal colony on the other side and scared all of the seals into the water. I wasn’t even sure that I was at the seal colony until I smelled their crap and saw them all start waking up and popping their little heads up.

Seals. Yup...they are fleeing.

So i think that one of the highlights of our daily lives is seeing the courier truck pull through our driveway and drop off the packages. Usually its all stuff for the business, but we all still race to the office to see what they have left for us.

Well, the other day we were having a fairly frantic day with all the units needing to be cleaned and around noon we saw the truck and tom and I went racing to the office. What did we see? One big box. Whose name was on it? MINE!!!

So my birthday package had finally arrived from Texas and it was filled with all types of goodies that thoroughly made my day. And everyone else was extremely jealous that I got fun mail! So thanks for the birthday gifts family! And all the other extra stuff…I am hiding those Starburst jellybeans for a rainy day…oh hey, its raining right now!

The newest edition to our family...mr. potato head....and his family. Also lovin the Husker Gear. Thanks Dad. We have the potato head family right next to our TV so that we can play whenever we are watching movies. It's ace!

My birthday shot of Tequila, sent all the way from the great state of TX. It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Other things going on with me – I just started an additional job a few nights a week at a local cafe/restaurant. Its a really fun place to work and I really love the people and the atmosphere. The food is freakin’ delicious and it’s nice getting a good meal and a drink at the end of the night. Mostly I am just waitressing, but I have also been helping out in the kitchen on some nights. Gotta love scrubbin’ those pots!!

I did have an American moment the other day when I opened the cash register and completely blanked. I guess I am still getting used to the NZ currency.

So that’s the update! I told ya’ll I was gonna get better at this bloggin’ thing.

PS – Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope you all enjoy the holidays with the family or whatever else you may be doing. And I really hope that none of you will be staying somewhere like the hillcrest motel…that would be a bummer. =)
