so, i didn't know my emails were still being sent from 'honeymoon heaven'.
i've now changed that... honeymoon's over, honey.
i can't help it but i always get really excited on sundays 'cause monday night is desperate housewives. 8:40pm on channel seven.
tv is weird. i haven't had it for all those years in japan and it's neat to have the option. i've almost finished OD-ing on it. not quite. simpsons is actually on everyday at 6pm. too bad i'm never home. good thing i don't own a vcr.
matt's looking for jobs tonight. he's calling out names of suburbs as i sit here typing. there are some weird ones like jindalee and moorooka and idooroopilly... and usually they're not pronounced how they're spelt. makes it fun when i have to give referals to practitioners in those wacky neighbourhoods!
i did nothing today. it was good. i might soak my feet tonight. i need a pedicure, my poor feet have been in sandals for almost 12 months and are suffering. no longer the soft, pretty little things they used to be. sniff. lots of work for my pumice stone (if i ever find where i packed it) , either that or some poor pedicurist is gonna hate me.
i'm off to look for jobs as a flight attendant before i think more about signing up for the school. let me know if you have any ideas on this! i think i am leaning more towards the hairdressing though, it's a bit more adaptable to ageing which, as much as i plan on NOT doing, i might succumb to in the very, very distant future.
just for the fun of it, i'm going to post a yummy recipe for you... a friend of mine mentioned mabo tofu the other day and i'm just going to throw my recipe out there for tastiness' sake!
Mabo Tofu (vegan)
* 1 tblsp corn or soy oil
* 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil
* 1 clove garlic, crushed
* 1/4 cup minced leeks, scallions, or onions
* 1 tsp minced red chillies
* 4 Shiitake, soaked and sliced
* 1/2 cup water, stock, or dashi
* 1 1/2 tsp sake
* 2 1/2 tsp shoyu
* 1/2 tsp salt
* dash of sansho or 7-spice chili powder
* 1 1/2 tsp ketchup
* 24 oz tofu, cut into pieces 1 1/4" square by 1/2" thick
* 2 tsp cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tblsp water
* 1 tblsp minced leek or scallion greens
Heat wok or skillet and coat with both types of oil. Add garlic, leeks, and chilies, stir fry over high heat for 15 seconds. Reduce heat to medium, add Shiitake, and saute for 1 minute. Add dashi and next five ingrdients, bring to boil, and cook for 30 seconds. Add tofu and return to boil. Stir in dissolved cornstarch and simmer until thick. Serve hot, garnished with the greens. Serves 2... enjoy!

Hi Honey,
Here are my thoughts on both job options:
You would be fantastic at both.
Hair salon work does let you provide for yourself for a long time. But even the Aveda salon I went to smelled like lots of icky chemicals. I'd be worried about you because of that. And you can always go to hairdressing school even after the ageing has already set in!
I say at least try for the flight attendant jobs while you're still amazingly young (you'll always be beautiful), otherwise you might wish you'd tried. You'd potentially get lots of attention, lots of travel experience, and what is more fabulous than being a flight attendant?
You know who actually knows something about it? She's a friend of a friend, but you might try messaging her through myspace. Go to my page (www.myspace.com/flogently/), then click on Debbie, then on her friend Jessica. Jessica is a flight attendant and Debbie says she is full of interesting info on the real deal on being a flight attendant.
Okay, I probably should have just written you an email, but here this is as is.
I love you!
flo
p.s.
I meant to tell you about the honeymoonheaven thing!
thanks for the lead flo, i'll get in touch with Jessica. i have another close friend of my mom's who is a flight attendant, she just had a baby and while she was preggers, the Dalai Lama was on her flight and he blessed her and the baby! i was going to email her too to pick her brains.
i like getting comments on my posts, it makes me write more often!
