Early Easter?!

Of course I do not need any proof that my parents love me... but if I did...

We're probably talking about $120NZD if there even were a TJs that even sold decent dark chocolate in New Zealand! I have little to complain about here, and I don't even harp much about the prices of luxuries like chocolate, but I do have an issue with the lack of its existence here! This should keep me stocked for at least a month. Ha!

And I (hopefully) have future chocolate deliveries to look forward to as well... my parents have booked their first NZ visit for mid-December, only 9 months away! And Scott's folks plan on coming during our winter (!) in just 4.5 months. Exciting!

A Quick Thank You!

My husband and brother-in-law teamed up to get me a little gift this Christmas, which arrived in the mail the other day. I had my eyes checked (by said BIL, who is a recently graduated optomotrist) and low and behold, I have an astigmatism. I require pretty much the smallest Rx possible, mind you, but Scott & his brother made sure I got glasses with my mini-script anyways, so I could see just that much better. Great for reading, and blogging! Thank you boys! (Also note, that's a couch... a real piece of furniture, people!)

(I've found make-up and hair brushing quite optional since moving to NZ)
