He was a bold man that first ate an oyster.
Author: Johnathon Swift Five months have passed since we arrived at Melbourne Tullamarine airport (MEL) from Minneapolis St Paul airport (MSP), ready to start this adventure. As I write, I am heading to MEL again, crossing the Bass Strait from Tasmania to the main land, feeling pretty lucky for the experience we’ve had thus far. … Continue reading He was a bold man that first ate an oyster.
Such Is Life as a Stay At Home Wife
Melodies can bring back memories, and define periods of life. Presently, "Too Much Time On My Hands" (by Styx) is one of my themes. I don't have a job (yet) and Will and I are living in a hotel.

At the end of 2014 I read an article about a woman who decided to shop only at consignment stores for a year. She gave herself a $50/month budget.
