That's all for now - Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the MOO Warehouse Crew!
Today the lady at the bank flummoxed me.
But I was doing something else at the same time so I didn't realise she'd flummoxed me until I got home.
I said to her
if I lose my credit card in Thailand is there a number I can ring?
and she said
yes, it's on the back of the card
But now I see that thats not really going to work.
Nevermind, because my day 2 plan involved researching phone numbers for mastercard, all the places I can use a mastercard in Thailand, and where to ring if I lose it, phone numbers for local police, tourist police, the australian embassy and hospitals. I have sent copies of all our passports and insurance details to Emjay and filled in my travel journal with her phone number and my brothers details.
Honestly, I should have been a wedding planner. No stone is left unturned.
I have just finished cleaning out the fridge and tomorrow I will give the house a quick hoo ha. Because even though I am a terrible housekeeper, there is nothing worse than coming home after a nice holiday, to a dirty house. I have set up a light on a timer to come on each night so Betty isn't scared and I'm considering setting up the airconditioner to come on for a few hours each day for her so she won't be too hot. I haven't decided yet if this is really needed. Daz thinks it is but he is a city boy. I grew up on a farm where dogs lived on chains and had a log to sleep in.
I have bought our little baggies to put all my dangerous liquids and explosive lipsticks in, I have returned my library books, asked the neighbour to put out our rubbish and I am now about to take off my toenail polish, snip my nails down a bit and coat them with a cheery holiday colour. Which I wish was green but I couldn't find a nice one.
And thats about it for today I think.
If I've forgotten anything, feel free to let me know.
plus pumpkin lasagne.

I must have hundreds of them. I have used many of these things over the years, for so many purposes, but this is ridiculous. Nobody needs to have this many storage containers. Do they?
I wish I could throw away a jar with a lid, but I can't. I must first wash it thoroughly and remove its label, and then store it in a cupboard for months, or even years, and then throw it away. Why do I do it?
Some rituals are truly baffling.
Paul gave me an early Christmas present last night: a KitchenAid mixer!
Anyone who knows me knows that I love to bake. For years I've been using a little $25 handheld mixer, and it's served me well...until it died a few days ago while making a batch of cutout cookies. I mentioned to Paul that I needed to get a new one last night while we were out Christmas shopping; I was just planning on picking up another cheapie at Target. We were at Macy's, and he opened up a new Macy's charge to get the extra 20% off on the Keurig coffee maker we were getting for his parents. He told me that he remembers me mentioning months ago that I've always wanted a KitchenAid--we were watching a cooking show on PBS and I was drooling over the mixer rather than the food--and he was planning on getting one for me anyway. Since we were already there, he wanted me to pick one out now since we could get an extra 20% off and I could get the exact one I wanted. I fought him on it for a while (I'm a much better gift giver than receiver), but he insisted, so I finally relented.
Ooh la la! It's a beauty! After I'm done working today I'm going to make another batch of cutouts on my new toy. I can hardly wait to play!!! :-)
ここまで来てやっと一息つけた(´Д｀)
この後、白川郷から相倉までもまた面白し。
東海北陸道開通してから全然人が通らなくなったので、轍ズリズリモノレール(´・ω・`)
君子危うきに近寄らず・・・ってことで厳冬期は避けてきた峠ですが、
金沢まで用事がてら（笑）、とっても(*´ω｀*)早起きして行ってきました。わざわざ下道をｗ(´ω｀)
行くんなら除雪のおっちゃんらが通る前に行かないとね♪
・・・。
・・・・・・。
・・・・・・・・・。
金沢に着くまでに、事故現場4件見ました（＾ω＾）
走馬灯大安売り。
帰りは大人しくR8使って良かった。( 'ｰ`)
結論：この時期の156・157のコンボはつらい。
・・・ってゆーか、あれだよ。( 'ｰ`) Aの地点まで行くのがそもそも修羅場だよ( 'ｰ`)
帰り谷峠通らなくて良かった・・・ライブカメラ見たら凄い事になってた。(´ω｀)
一方通行になってるぉ・・・(´・ω・｀)
Back on track. But so hot here today. And windy. And stuffy.
So today is get all the final little bits and pieces I want to add to the pile.
I know it looks like there's a lot of wet ones there but I'll be the one laughing when there's no toilet paper somewhere we go. They they'll all be calling for me.
Muesli bars because Emjay has convinced me I must never eat on a plane for fear of food poisoning. Because then there will only be 2 toilets between hundreds of people. And my wet ones would be in high demand then.
Diarrhoea tablets, because..... well because its starting to sound like I have some fixation with toilets and bowels.
Lots of antiseptic handwash, allergy tabs because I always get itchy and ear wax because my ears get sore in water. I think I only need to add panadol and mylanta.
I'm sure I can buy all this stuff over there for half the price. I should have been a girl guide. Apprently you can get all your prescription meds there with no prescription really cheap.
And I'm cashed up in baht now. I felt like I was carrying a brick around in my handbag. Just enough for us all to get through a few days.
And now I'm off to take up my temple pants. Bought a pair of light white longs in case we go anywhere where they like you to be fully covered.
Which means getting out the trusty old sewing kit. Look, it even has white cotton.
Then its off to my doctor to see what he thinks about what the hospital doctor told me and advised.
Once again, we have a white man savior. The noble savage can't do it himself, he needs the broken (in this case literally) white man to come along and rescue them all.
Yes, I saw Avatar today. Sigourney Weaver is awesome!! And I would go see it again, but let's be honest about the movie. It is as I said above. Women do a little better in it than some other White Man Cometh films, though of course, the human women die because there's no place for them in the indigenous society, but at least in this one, women are not stuck only in the domestic sphere.
Visually, it's beautiful. The ending seemed rushed. We only get the 2D version in English here, for the 3D, I will wait for home. Also, nicely done, we actually got the subtitles in English in this one. Normally, they just block those right out, so if you don't get French or German, you stay unenlightened.
And hey, at a running time of over two and a half hours, you definitely get your money's worth.
