The last few mornings
I’ve been waking up to this
Heiny and the kids having a tai-chi slash yoga slash hippy session in the lounge room
Today Mum joined in too
I just stepped over them and headed to the kitchen for my crumpets & honey
I mean, whatever floats your boat and all that
Just not my cup of tea
Except for the part where Magoo kept kept farting every time she lifted her leg
Bomber, make your eyes water, WTF has that kid been eating, style of bum burps
That, I can do
After the girls had dinner tonight
I decided to take them for a walk to grab a yummy treat
I had 15 minutes before I had to leave for work
Yes, they had their *jimmy-jams on
But I took them out anyway
Because that’s what bogan mothers who don’t give a shit I do
You can take the girl out of Kalgoorlie…
*M&M speak for pyjamas
After arriving back in Chicago from Melbourne on Monday night
Not much more than 24 hours later, I did what any insane biatch would do
I got up at 2:30am and headed back to the airport
And got on another plane
And flew to New York
See that dot in the middle?
That’s the Statue Of Liberty right tharr!
I had a meeting-slash-appointment that was kinda important
That I couldn’t get out of
Believe me, I tried
Anyhoo
I chose to make lemon-vodka-shots out of lemons
And planned to make the most of having a day in New York
The work stuff was over way faster than expected
And not because I fell asleep *ahem*
So that left me with a few hours before my flight home
I walked around seeing a few of the sights
I believe they call it sight-seeing?
I was getting the hang of it
Even when my legs got the occasional jetlag sway, and my eyes wouldn’t stay open
I made it to Rockefeller Plaza
Trump Tower
Saw a tourist bus that I couldn’t find the place to buy tickets for
Then I found this bad boy
New York GOLD
And the line to get some of this tucker made my decision to eat here easy
Verdict – awesome
Even with the sauce stained scarf and onion breath it left me
Took lots of pics
Wished I had a ‘big girl’ camera, so I could’ve looked all professional ‘n’ shit
And maybe ended up with better pics
Especially of Central Park (above)
And Times Square
But I came to the conclusion that it would have been a bastard to carry
And I would have either dropped it or lost it
Even tried to be like the cool kids and put me IN a pic
By taking it myself
You know you’re a shitty photographer when you can’t even get YOURSELF to look at the camera
Cool background though
Of fuck-knows what
So my New York minute
Actually it was 480 minutes
Was quick
Productive, hopefully
And wore me the fuck out
The upside?
A second lot of WECOME HOME hugs in as many days, from my babies
