its been a while...

hello!

so same old - same old here in bundaburg. ive been here offically for over a week now. enjoying myself for sure. the work hours are short which kind of sucks because i am wanting to make more money then what i am going to spend on accomodation, food,internet etc. but sofar it doesnt look that way. oh well - the main point is im having a great time here. everyone in the hostel is pretty cool.

a few nights ago julia and kata and katherin (all german girls! julia is my friend julia, kata is a german girl travelling alone and katherin was traveling with 2 other girls but got in a fight with them and started hanging out with us) were all drinking bundy rum and coke (which is REALLY good by the way) and i was having tea because im on a detox regime. anyways, they were all drunk and kata wanted to go swimming, but julia didnt want to go change into her bikini so i was like 'i know! lets go with our clothes on!' they all thought it was great so julia pushed kata in, and then derek (a scottish guy) threw julia in and kathrin walked in herself and i stood bythe pool and watched - then ran into my dorm room with kata chasing me (shes not a small girl either) to grab me and shove me in the pool. i managed to get into my room and lock the door.i then changed into my bikini and went for a swim. julia was so mad ' it was your idea to go swimming with ourclothes on!!!' but thats why it was funny. i cheated muahahaha. we all hd a good time anyway.

decided to create a swim team -the team consists of: Me, Julia, Kata, Derek and Jono. we swim after work every day, and on the days we dont work. we started at 20 min and now are at 30 ( i was the only one who swam today, besides derek, he swam too but for only 15 min. and jono swam too but only for 6 min -lightweights). our names are the Bundy Dolphins. one day we will have a swim meet.

today while pruning i stuck my hand in a little hole in the plastic that the tomato plants grow out of and something moved! it was a toad! it hopped out of the hole and i screamed and jumped around a little bit. then i caught it and tried to get julia to kiss it but she would have nothing of it

we are planning a 'dress up day' here at the hostel. there are a few good second hand shops around town and we are going to find the worst possible dresses and suites to wear and wear them and drink very sophisticatidly - i hvent gotten my outfit picked out yet but i will take lots of pictures!

speaking of pictures, i am still uploading onto aliab.myphotoalbum.com they are quite a few weeks old but i will continue toadd them daily

much love

alia

Hey, long time no blog reply. So I've been looking at your pictures and all I can say is...you've changed! First of all, if this were the old Alia 91% of your pictures would have you in it, front and center. And second of all, your last picture is of a billboard/advertisement that you wouldn't see here at home. That's a little "Molly from Travel" isn't it?

By the way, the last time we talked for 2 seconds on MSN and I had to run I almost missed my flight. It was supposed to start boarding at 8:15 and we got to the airport at 8:20 and then I checked my skis in and STILL had to go park the car. Luckily the flight was delayed so everything was alright. I would've had to blame you since it was so hard to say goodbye.

See ya

Good Morning Alia;

It's good that you are having a good time, girl! Remember when you and Jenn would catch frogs and tadpoles at the lake?

We loves you more and more.
Mamma

hi alia,
i really think julia should've kissed the toad.. maybe he could've turned into something? lol.
a dress up day sounds awesome. i can see it now. you wearing an ugly lime green dress with long see-thru sleeves complete with puffy shoulders, and lace around the wrists. buttons just for show in chest... again with some lace. drinking a fabulous martini. lol. sounds great.
nothing too new with the baby update, can feel baby move, LOTS! very active. and ive grown rounder, and man... my boobs!! wow! they look huge. lol.
i better get going, im moving my sister in law into spruce grove today... well im not lifting anything, but i have my dad's truck, so i better get my butt in gear.
sounds like your having lots of fun... im happy to hear it.

take care.
christine. XO.
