Carla Gypsygirl's Blurty

Hello, hello, are you there?

Hello! I am still alive and blogging, never fear!

What's a girl to do when she doesn't have the internet at home? I steal glances at the odd blog or two while at work, but my paranoia prevents me from indulging completely in my blogging habit. What if my colleagues read my secrets? What if they found out that, instead of visiting elegant wineries in South Australia, I went to Schutzenfest? Or, as it is locally known in Adelaide, Sh*tzenfaced? Above, is a photo of moi at this annual celebration of German culture and beer. Above, is a photo of yours truly indulging in half of an alcoholic apple cider. Not shown, however, is the moment a few minutes later, whereupon I announced that I felt VERILY sick, and that half a beer/cider thingy was most certainly enough for little ol' me.

So, long story short, my posts will remain sporadic. I apologise. I miss my interneeeeeet!

Marriage is good. It is not as weird or as heavily weighted as I thought. Things feel the same. Of course, everything also feels different. We do not (as some are concerned) live in hunger and filth. We are both rather hygienic, and we do figure out how to boil an egg every now and then.

I am currently at ye olde mumme and dadde's, for a Chinese New Year's Eve celebration. This is the first year I have not received huong bao- that is, the lucky red packets full of money. Married peeps don't get them. And this is the first year I have given huong bao out. Tis a good feeling, my friends.

Well, must go home to MY home now. I hope we meet again soon.
