I completely understand the feeling of time standing still. I sometimes feel that way right when I get home, but then I realize stuff has changed and it makes me sort of angry that life goes on without me. I´m kind of selfish like that. I don´t like it when my favorite restaurants and bars shut down and my friends start hanging out at new places and don´t understand why I want to go back to that old dump we used to hang out at.

Pavlova is a light as air confection with a crisp exterior and a marshmallowy texture inside. It's topped with real whipped cream (never out of a can) and either passionfruit, strawberries or crumbled flaked chocolate.

Rumoured to be named for the ballerina Anna Pavlova. It's New Zealand's national dessert but australia is always trying to claim it as its own.....

Going back to the states is one of the most confusing things for me. Enjoy your time there.

I can't believe you flew by yourself with two kids for that flight! good on you! I can barely keep my act together on my own.

Gypsy- Yep, I'll be cramming it all in -- I've hit Target and Publix so far and I 'll be going to the all you can Ross Dress for Less buffet soon.

DPH- Yeah, I took photos of the apple pies in the garbage-- too bad they didn't make something I liked-- it would have gotten eaten. Yep, pie sucks.

Freeman- Totes.

It's hard to go back, isn't it? I find it stranger every time I go back. And the TVs? Madness.

Dude, I thought I would the only person on earth who hated pie. I also hate ham and casserole. And every fucking year we have ham for Christmas dinner, breakfast casserole for Christmas breakfast, and fucking pie for dessert.

I hate my family.

2008-12-02T03:12:00.000+11:00

I hope you enjoy your visit and get lots of Florida/Stateside stuff in before you head back "home."

Ali- Thanks, it does feel good to be home!

Ali- Thanks, it does feel good to be home!

Marvin- Thanks!

Opinoneater- Yep, everything you said!

Erin- Thanks, I'll eat some Cheesecake Factory for you. Or let me know what I should have in your honor!

Big Daddy (FL boy in Sydney)- We miss you so much. The boys cannot wait to see their daddy. I love you.

Nursemyra- What is that, I feel like I know, but can't remember???

Hey- This is Mr. "Florida Girl in Sydney" aka- "Big Daddy" or perhaps "Florida Boy in Sydney" if you prefer.

I'm missing the Fla girl and the chipmunks. Looking forward to joining the family in the USA for Christmas/New Years. I about chewed thru the phone cord today when I heard Cheescake Factory was being served for dinner. (Chicken Romano is still my all time favorite :))

I understand the surreal feelings and I do know what you are going through. I know living in Australia and Sydney in particular is something people dream of. But yes, at what cost? Keep your bonds with your friends and family strong and you'll get through it! I'm so glad you are back and enjoying yourself thus far! Hope you are taking lots of photos!

Glad you'll be posting from the U.S. I'll live vicariouly through you. I agree, going back is such a weird experience. Everytime I hit the ground at LAX I sort of feel like I'm back in my own skin again or that I'm a fish that's been thrown back in the water. At the same time, nobody there quite understands the "fish" that you were when you were out of the water and how the water feels different once you're back.
Have fun!

How fun, I'm glad you're back "home"!

2008-12-01T07:19:00.000+11:00
