Birthday Week - Part 1

-

I didn't think I was going to do much for my birthday. I was going to keep it low key, but then I stumbled across a few fun things to do. For some reason I thought I'd be able to fit my entire birthday week into one post. Apparently I took (and posed for) way too many photos to fit into one post, so... without further ado, welcome to part one of birthday week.





A few months ago I saw Pixar Putt would be in Sydney for a limited time. I thought it looked like fun, but never got around to booking it. Then they announced it would be extended until the end of January. It became the perfect way to start birthday week.



We were greeted by Mike...



and Sulley.



Y'all know the girl who used to work at Pizza Planet had to drive the Pizza Planet cart.





At this point I wondered if I'd be the chosen one.



I was not.

I should probably mention that while we were given a score card, we chose not to fill it in.







We found it difficult to get the ball down the piano keys at the Soul hole, so we just pushed them down with our hands while telling ourselves (and anyone in earshot) it was the wind.



From that point all the rules were out the window.





Mum was stoked she got the ball into the hole with just a few strokes... and without cheating.





Despite my lack of golfing prowess I was happy to be there.



The socially distant event was the perfect way to start my 32nd birthday celebrations.







It was cheesy and I loved it.





So did Mum and Eric.





There are only a few days of Pixar Putt left in Sydney (Parramatta) and Brisbane, so you better hurry "Up" if you want to go.

From December last year until 4am on Monday I was part of something pretty special. We Will Rock You (or WWRU).

That Time I Surprised Addy

-

At the beginning of last year I decided it would be fun to spend Christmas in New York with my niece. I also thought it would be a good idea to surprise her. A week or so (I actually can’t remember how long before) my mum and I told Addy over a video call that we’d be spending Christmas with her, her mum (my sister, Alicia) and her dad (Carlos). The journey for Mum and I started in Sydney… with a photo for the blog, of course.  After an insane amount of hours flying, an encounter with an angry, egotistical TSA agent (or was that on the way home?) we made it to the newly renovated Terminal B in LaGuardia Airport.  Back tracking a little, Mum and I were lined up to walk past sniffer dogs. Except you couldn’t see what was actually happening because there were partitions. But I could hear a TSA agent regularly telling people to listen and repeating instructions aggressively.  I was determined to be the perfect passenger and get it right.  Ok, so now it’s my turn to get s...

Wisconsin Adventures

While in America in January last year I took a little trip to Wisconsin to visit Kyra and meet her son, Walter, for the first time in real life.  I took off from LaGuardia airport.  And touched down in Milwaukee.  I stayed at Kyra’s parents’ place with Mom and Dad Nowacki (Kyra and her family were one of my adopted families when I lived in America… as a 26 year old).  Kyra, Walter and I ventured Downtown.  We had some snacks and hot drinks.  Walter kept peaking out on the way back to the car. He wanted to know what was going on. I also think he was a little confused that I kept going everywhere with them.  We took a few touristy shots.  And a few festive ones.  We took all these photos for the blog, of course.  We watched a little football. Go Pack Go! The next morning we took a little trip to the zoo.  Later that afternoon I visited Kyra’s sister and her 2 kids. I was supposed to spend more time with them another day, but I got sic...
