Changed da house,
Changed da look.

BTW, my bathrobe's usually pink
and we don't have a fireplace.
Other than that,

~ 3-point Turn ~

Point One
While it took me about 15 minutes to get used to the instructor's car this morning and find the biting point on the clutch all over again, I managed to park decently, reverse decently, and do a 3-point turn all by myself thanks to the craziness that ensued on Sunday.

Feeling less ineffectual, but still not wholly liking driving that much although it seems it's all I talk about these days.

I'm turning into one of them!
Albeit 6 years too late!

Point Two
I reread what I wrote yesterday about Sunday's driving, and realise that Tony might look like an insensitive cow. He isn't, he wasn't, and if anything were truer, he was nothing but patience and gentleness throughout the time I was freaking out and dripping all over the steering wheel like... well... a girl.

Tonight, we settled yet another heap of finances. I know blogging about it must be terribly boring for you to read - and I can assure you that it's terribly boring to me as well. But here's the wonderful, heart-warming, absolutely gorgeous bit...

We were in the kitchen and I was talking to Tony about what I had mentioned earlier; I felt we were rushing along trying to get things done before the first half of this year and yet ironically there are couples out there who haven't even so much as written a will much less bought insurance.

Tony looked at me in all seriousness and told me a huge reason he's "rushing everything", is that if anything should happen to him now while I'm still not even a confirmed Australian PR, he wants to know that I will be well taken care of.

Now I know some of you out there have very definite ideas about what sexy is. But I'm telling you girls, THAT is probably one of the sexiest things anyone has ever said to me.

Point Three
As of this week, we're hoping to start eradicating my debt in a major way. And I can't tell you how wonderful that feels.

I start work tomorrow morning, so keep on praying and I'll keep you posted.
