well it's all action in Fortworth, TX too....

I woke up this morning feeling hungover, possibly a combination of jetlag and last night's wino...
Around 11am the day began by picking up marco from his SAT (a standard test everyone takes in high school) and dropping him off at home again, he will be able to drive on his own soon which should put a stop or at least slow down mothe's taxi carreer. anyway, the next thing we did was hit the mall and the buying urge started to grow on me relatively quickly. the mall is alright; probably quite small in US standards but seeing different stores than the ones in Sydney was a slight relief. we didn't buy anything as I was only on a discovery tour and you wouldn't want to take all the fun out on the first day.
the problem i guess here is that to a store accross the street/highway we had to take the car and drive for five minutes... By that stage i was getting hungry so we got a sort of burrito and a place that works like subway, meaning you chose the ingredients that way. there was a whole array of sizes you could chose for you wrap, going from 1/2 freebird (name of the place) to monster freebird. we got the normal freebird and shared it. it wasn't bad at all but i don't think i want to see what the monster version looks like since the guy looked at me funny when i said that my miserably small one was HUGE....
we walked/drove around for a bit longer and decided to go home. some houses on the way were quite astonishing and absolutely gigantic... those families must AT LEAST have 2 kids (with only one of them in college) to "need" such a big house...
once at home, I managed to convince Marc to have a dip with me and we had heaps of fun; plus once i got into the shower, I was already a couple shades darker, yeeeee haaaa!!!
Marc was playing basketball at school tonight so we went and watched that. it was pretty exciting, as far as a bunch of distorted and sweaty teenagers go but Marc played well, scored a few baskets and they won a very close game so that was really cool.
well we're back home now and i'll go make myself something to eat,
more news soon, hope everyone is going well wherever you're reqding this from,
lot's of love, FB
