road trip!

what a great sunday i had!!! i spent the morning and lunchtime looking for a digi camera because i sent mine home and ended up buying a kodak one and a 512mb memory card for only $260 aus. if any wants a sony pro memory card let me know, i've one for sale and it's been sent back to my dad so if ay swann gys want one then you could pick it up from my dad in bourke st. anyway, so then the irls nd i went on a road trip up to wisconsin. we had a stop off to do a tour at the jelly belly factory cause we saw it when we were driving along so decided to go to that and it was fate cause we got there right on time for the last tour. with replenished snacks we headed further north and decided that we'd go that far already that we may as well go to milwaukee. so we ended up downtown driving around looking for a park. we had to find two though cause i had my car and magda had the mini van. we ended up going to mo's restaurant which is an irish pub and had a dry meal there (the food was dry, not juicy). by this time we were all a bit tired and krissi, sharmain and i weren't all that jungry thanks to all the junk food we'd consumed in the car. krissii had managed to open everything she'd bought at the jlly belly factory and sample everything within 5 minutes. we had 80's tunes to keep us going. then we decided we'd go home via I94. it's the first time i'd driven on an interstate and wasn't too scared until i witnessed magda's driving and since she was in front of me i had to follow her. i swear to god i was shaking, then we had a cowboy trucky driving like he was insane and was sitting on madga's arse at one point and swerving all over the friggin road. so when i got up to 80 miles (130 kms) to get long side him sharmain and krissii put the windows down nd hung out the car telling him he was a dickhead, can't drive, giving the finer and all that. so we had to floor it after that to avoid upsetting him and having another incident. my nerves were so frayed. plus magda's bad driving continued along the interstate, which is the one place where you need to be a little responsible... by the time we got home we were all very exhausted so sharmain (who'd left her car here) drove her and krissii home and i went and watched veronica mars and grey's anatomy in the ds. gey's anatomy fans - whoa! can i tell you a secret? meredith sleeps with george (she is such a bitch) and or veronica mars fans veronica and duncan are back together... i dunno how that happened as i can never work out which tv show is on which channel, all i know is that they are on the tv at that time. last night i got lucky and found them.
so this morning i didn't start til 10 and last night i drugged myself to sleep (i have to slow down on the mersyndol as i'll run out at this stage) so i culd get rid of the headache and have a good sleep. so emily went down for a nap just after 11 and i'm about to go and do some ironing and watch the end of the longest yard since the tv remote is working now and the dvd remote was found! hopefully this will be a good week!
oh and it's my dad's 45th birthday today. or feb 28. today in australian time. he's getting on. i hope he liked the shirt i sent him. i'm going to call him at midday. kerry or jojo or someone at swann, if you read this before 11:30am (your time silly duffer) email me your number and i'll call you for a chinwag!
take care
