Tons-o-Fun week

So, it seems that the weeks get more and more packed with goodness. This week was the Colour conference. 11,000 women. Totally amazing speakers and the chance to work REALLY hard with my fieldwork. I drove into Sydney on Wednesday with Ash and Eric and set up the Memories Expo and helped with deliveries, etc. It was a great chance to see how everything works and also to meet people that are in the city location. Made me question my decision to live in the burbs b/c the people were just so amazing. Thursday/Friday/Saturday were spent at the conference working 6:30-midnight. Sore muscles and lots of smiling, but what a great time. Just a great chance to be a part of social justice and good times.

And PLEASE know that I drank obscene amounts of coffee. Although I'm on a crazy tight budget, the Starbucks had $2 off coupons so it was dirt cheap to drink like a queen. There are only a few in the area so it was a huge treat to NOT drink at Gloria Jeans (Australia Starbucks but brews bitter, blech).

Went to a surfing competition in Bondi on Sunday with Court and ate at Niko's for brunch. We also stumbled on lots of locale spots, which is nice instead of all the tourist ones in the area. Sunday was life changing church with a chick from Dallas (what are the odds) and the peeps next to me were visiting from Fort Worth. Hung out with Amy, Giorgia (Italy), Ida (Norway), Angelique (South Africa), and Sandra (Netherlands) after. Great pasta and conversation about cultures. Went home and did a movie with housemates and SLEPT. It was great to sleep in.

Monday was the pool, errands and nothing much. The bug guy came and didn't charge us! Went to City Extra with friends and shared the most amazing strawberry ice cream sundae ever.

Pictures are of me with Ames at conference, the surfing competition, my life changing sundae, my expo booth chicks and me and Daniela at the house grill out from last Monday (the 8th). It was so much fun!

I miss and love you so much. I miss your hugs and your sarcasm most of all! :) Skype me soon. XX
