Foiled! Our fabulous plans for a full month of carefree e-mailing, blogging, flickring, messaging, researching, and Lost-episode-downloading have been foiled. Sigh. Despite Bryan's best efforts, the couple who own the home we're renting decided *not* to take advantage of a free, professional, secure wireless Internet installation while they're away. I guess I can understand (though they are back quite soon, and wanted to set up a network anyway!) but of course, I am crushed! And forced to use excessive punctuation! I'm not saying I would've sat online for hours on end every day (honest! I swear!), but we were really looking forward to using a home connection to communicate with everyone and to accomplish travel-related tasks without the stress of by-the-minute fees. (Oh and also whomever we were picking up a faint connection from late last week found us out and secured their network. Party-poopers!) Thus, this month's blog and flickr updates will only be done when we train into Melbourne for the day, perhaps two or three times a week. Such a shame to have to spend "city time" online when we have this huge, comfortable house in which to lounge on the laptop! Girls, I will miss our morning IM chats.
Anyway, I wanted to let you know what happened, in case you were concerned. In the meantime, instead, we've been watching a bunch of movies, doing yoga, cooking 18 meals in a row in the house, spotting giant prehistoric bugs on our windowsill, going to the mall, hiking, even biking, reading, saving money, and today, we're visiting the city. Not all that bad, I suppose. ..........

The biking photos are so fabulous.
The prehistoric bug is so scary.
The apartment? So beautiful.
Your back-issues of Star and Us: So totally on their way.
(And I miss you guys so much :-).
What's the green post-it note on the computer?
And -- seriously. That bug.
I guess I'll have to actually work now when I'm at work. Bummer. Silly short-sighted Aussies. This is unforgivable.
