Sometimes

Sometimes I cook yummy food.

For my yummy husband.

Oh....and for me too I guess.  I guess.

It's Fall time here so cinnamon rolls?  Check.

Except you have to say cinnamon scrolls here in Oz.

Geez.

These cute little guys are easy.  No trouble at all.

I can't wait until I can get a mixer that will make that statement completely true.

But on the not completely true side, they're not too difficult mates.

And the result... 

YUM!

Let's just say that it makes for one happy husband.

One happy mouth.

One happy kaylee jo.

Happy.

Tolerant

Sometimes I get crafty.  

Only sometimes though.

I'm not one of those people who could maintain a blog based on my crafty endeavors.

Ha- I just follow those blogs.

So here is my latest endeavor.

Nothing fancy.

I'm just lucky I have a cute little niece whose mum puts up with my crafts.

And this time I made a pressie for the craft-tolerant mother too. :)

See. Nothing too spiff.

I just wanted to blog. 

or brag.

Same diff.

Flashback

Today I was just thinking:

I married Phil. 

I'm married.

I live in Australia. 

Whoa.

Remember that one day, back when we were babies...

ok ok. I was the babe.  He was the hunk.

Anyway-back then, we hung out.

At the koala park.

In Australia.

Then we grew up.

And went on a datey-date-date.

In America.

The we really grew up and fell in love.

Whoa.

Phil Bennallack.

Who knew?

Then we grew babies of our own!

Awwwwe...looks just like dad.  Ha!

But for now...I think we'll go back to the 70's.

And rock it til we drop.

Cuz that's what we do.

And that was today's flashback.

Blech

3 am.

Woken up from sleeping.

Watching Glee....why?

Crying baby? : Negative (don't have one. not possible)

Loud noise outside? : Negative

Phil snoring? : Negative

..................................................

Mosquitoes? : YES!

Okay.  Not like physical mosquitoes, but I was feeling the effects of those darn things!

We went on a picnic with our friends on Monday night and what do I come home to?

7.

That's right. 7 mosquito bites from the knee down.

3 on the ankles/heels.

Why?

:(

Phil doesn't have a single one.  Blech.

I know that I'm super allergic, like more than normal

but this was crazy.  Like I couldn't get back to sleep crazy.

So good thing that Phil couldn't sleep either...

(possibly thanks to his zero bites?  Unlikely)

...and good thing that we have Foxtel.  

(like TV-o for you Americans)

So this morning from 3am - 4am, we watched Glee.

And then once my legs were numbed from ice, 

we got some rest until work time.

Oh I'm just so lucky to be so sweet that the bugs love me.

What a blessing.

Blessing for the darn bugs.

That's my vent for the day.

3 am!

Laaaaa-ife

This is my Toblerone.  

He's bigger than me...or my head.

Not everything is bigger in America.

Life is just dandy here at the Bennallacks.

We had a quiet weekend, after our partying one last weekend.

Party hearty!

Quiet weekends are super.

Specially when it's quiet.

Yes.

On another note, Phil and I recreated Cafe Rio in our own little abode just recently.

A tortilla, heaped with perfect bbq pork, cilantro & lime rice, lettuce, cheese, black beans and tomatoes.  

Plus some legit American ranch just to top it off.

Just tell me that your mouth isn't watering right now.

That satisfied my need for 'American' Mexican food.

And it lasted for ages. 

Yum.

Funny how I've had fantasies about food.

Come on Kaylee, it's food.

But really- Phil and I both do it.

Pizza Factory, Wingers, Cafe Rio, Zupas...

oh pahleease!

And now for the finale. 

Please watch this.

And be amazed and cringe and forget to breathe all at the same time.

Do it.

Another

Word.

Today I sat in my car during lunch.

Yes, I eat lunch in my car.  Judge me.

I love it.  

It's my 'me' time.  

In the car.

So just me and my PB&J and I'm thinking, 

I'm Lucky.
