Happy Holidays and Have a Fabulous New Year!!

Meet me online

Okay, it's been quite some time since I've updated this and while I've got plenty of things to talk about relating to Australia; today I want to talk about Skype. Skype is the single most useful program when living abroad. Here are all the things I wouldn't have been able to do without it over the past few years:

Attend my sister's college graduation

Meet my best friend's baby

Show up for Girls Night

See my family on Xmas

Provide medical advice for a friend.

"It's not a Tu-mah!!"

Damage impressionable young minds by

distracting their teacher during class

Warp another young mind by making a

1 year old think all computers and televisions

should talk to him directly

Attend my best friend's baby shower

Sit in the hospital waiting room

with the rest of my family during

my Aunt's surgery

Now, If only we could work on this time zone thing. It's getting mighty

hard to look presentable at 4am!!
