Crook...

For all of you oh so ignorant Americans ;) from the Aussie-slang dictionary, "crook" means sick.
Shout out to Anna Leary for the reference: http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html

I should look into the origin of the word... I can't get where that one came from, but who really understands those Aussies anyway?? And just imagine in a strong Oz accent "Oi, I'm feeling me crook mate!" Very very confusing... Feeling much better now though - let's hope those sinus's stay nice and clear :)

This week consisted of heaps of healthy home cooking starting at Cat's house...

Chili and whole wheat rolls :)
Ick! Cat got a bird!!!!
Hehe you get it... Cat got a bird ;)
Night #2: 
Mags wok and my fish taco

Yummy Mags!
Reading fiend!!!! 
I'm in the middle of "The Almost Moon"
very interesting - she's the author of "The Lovely Bones"
It was COLD!!!!
Wet season means lots of rain...

This week also consisted of arts and crafts! Maca has been working on her very extensive 21st birthday cards - they are amazing! And, as I last said blog, Mags got a job at a Swedish stationary store, Kikki K and has developed an interest in decorating... her room is slowly becoming Sweden #2! That's a compliment Mags ;) And I made a very special card as well - good thing I had Maca and Mags to help me out!
OBSESSION =
'So You Think You Can Dance?' Australia
and below are my two favs :)
Here it is - my official place of work!
Dinner #3:
MEXICANA salsa/guac &
homemade tortillas with spinach

The rain has severely slowed Mags and my beach excursions but, gasp, all sun today!!! We were very excited and headed right to the ocean this morning :) So here are your well-deserved beach pics... Mooloolaba is as breath taking as always!

Mags getting her tan on...
don't worry, we always wear sunscreen!
Some swimming/surfing/paddle event - 
M'ba won!
I'm sailing away...
Gorgeous Point Kartwright!
I'm about due for a picnic
I love a beach town

Very good week - good food, good weather, good paycheck... oh yeah! 
Oh and BIG NEWS:: Mags and I booked a sailing trip over Fall break! We'll be Great Barrier Reefing it for five days... whoop whoop! Aaaaaand uni classes start on Monday! I can hardly believe we're going back already... This semester I want to be really focused on staying on top of my classes. Good goal, right?? ;)

Nearly bedtime for me but have a wonderful weekend world - I love you all!!!
