10 years behind

for me to do a load of laundry here, wash and dry, will cost NZ$6 which is about US$4.
guess i'm going to be the smelly kid at school..just kidding..but seriously.
i have yet to find LIQUID laundry soap. its all powderpoo.
if anyone wants to mail me a 5 month supply of dryer sheets. that would be lovely too because those don't exist here either. they have liquid fabric softener but thats the closest i've found to either..
when i asked Peter (a kiwi from 2 hours south of here) if they even sold the stuff here he had no idea what i was talking about.
hello 1800's.
i'm still baffling myself how they get rid of static cling.

in other news we finally went to the grocery today. so our five day fast can end.
our new friend Peter in the flat over has a car and offered to take us. a good 30 min walk otherwise.
i bought some yummy juice thats exactly like Naked but it comes in a 1/2 gallon and is the same price as the little bottles back home. excitement.
i should also tell you they don't refrigerate their eggs here. which totally freaked jessica out first time she saw this.
its nice to see NZ doesn't put fake orange dye into there chedder...i mean are there really cows out there that produce orange milk? in less its the cows that make those yummy orange dream sickles..tehehe.

went to the st. lukes mall again today. all the kids were out of school for the day. i felt like i was in a bloody hairy potter movie because i swear the uniforms they were wearing looked the same.
lost jessica for a bit and thought i'd have to take the bus home alone. found her in this fancy pants french cosmetic store getting suckered into buying apple vinegar mumbo jumbo face stuff. i told her to go buy a bottle of apple cider vinegar because it would be cheaper but she never listens.
i unfortunately left behind the perfect pair of levis. tear.

jessica and i cooked dinner for satoko tonight. meatballs, potatoes with gravy, and my fave BROCCOLI!
