Good Morning

Well, Its Thursday morning here. Its about 6am which makes it 4:00 pm on Wednesday in Boise, Mom. There are only a few people in the office. I feel pretty good about getting here earlier today. (Got here at about 5:45 am) The great thing is that my apartment is only 1 block away so it only takes me about 3 minutes to get to the office. I wore some comfortable black pants and a cute white t-shirt today. I've been on the rig too long because I HATE office clothes. Give me some coveralls and boots with no makeup and messy hair any day! Today's outfit is good though. The Australian women wear very cute clothes. They are fashionable, yet very laid back and kind of casual. A lot of them wear skirts, but nobody wears nylons. I also see a lot of flip flops, but there are a lot of high heels too. The clothes in the stores are really cute, but I'm sure they are extremely expensive. The women here are really beautiful too, but very natural. There are a lot of blond and strawberry blond women. The cab driver said that Perth has the prettiest women in all of Australia. They are all really tiny too. Everyone here is very active and fit. They do a lot of outdoor activities. I don't see many really tan people. Sun screen is a big deal here. Everyone uses it. There are no orange people like you see in the US magazines or in LA. I know everyone is hoping that I'll find an Australian boyfriend down here. Don't hold your breath. #1 - I work all day and when I get home I'm exhausted. I have no desire to go out and cougar around. (Maybe this weekend though.) #2 - There's no way I could ever land one of these hotties. There's way too much competition. I see a lot of couples too. I think that Australians like to go on dates and do couples things. Honestly, I don't want an Australian boyfriend or any boyfriend for that matter. Who has the time and effort to put into that? Plus, if I did find a man down here, that would suck! I'd spend all my off time down here and I'd never see my friends and family. You don't want that do you?

Like I said, I went for a walk last night. I walked around for about an hour. I really wanted to go to bed, but I made myself walk and I'm glad I did. It was absolutely beautiful outside. Tonight I"m going to make a new iPod playlist "Walking in Perth". It gets dark very early, around 7pm because we're going into winter here. Seriously, dates, times, sunrise, sunset, seasons are going to make me a very confused person. Pretty much everything was shut down last night by the time I got out, except for a few pubs. I haven't eaten out much because I'm trying to eat healthy, and most of the restaurants and fast food or fried foods. I did have lunch at a place called My Own yesterday. I think I will eat there again, as I really liked it. Its kind of like a salad bar. You go in and there are rows of vegetables, lunch meats, etc etc. You can make a wrap, a sandwich, a pizza. I made a wrap yesterday with ham, feta, lettuce, thousand island, peas, celery, carrots, cheddar cheese, hummus, green onions. It was awesome. Ya know, they eat a ton of beets down here. They call it beet root. I don't know if I like beets or not.

Well, Its almost 6:30 now. I better get my butt in gear and start going over these drilling progs.
