I kinda missed the old layout, so spent the day going back to it, with a few very minor differences!

Let me know if you notice anything funky.

Yep, we’re starting fresh for the new year with a brand new domain!

Why? Because now that I’ve been in the US a while, I’m not nearly as jaded as I used to be. Still an alien ... just not a jaded one.  Of course there are some things that still make me go “Huh?!”, like the slot machines in the grocery store (free drinks while you play!) and the hundreds of people who sit like stunned mullets pushing button after button at the casinos.

I’ve done some fun stuff. Furnishing the house was a kick. Reacquainting myself with the in-laws I’ve barely seen over the years and meeting the new additions to the family as well as some family I’ve never met has been fantastic. I saw KISS live in concert for my birthday, as well as heading out to a couple of other shows. I’ve even met up with people from New Zealand!

Some stuff - not so fun. Like re-learning how to drive on the wrong side of the road (and car!) and being forced to take all the drivers licensing tests again.

Anyway - you’ll learn more about my US exploits as we go along but in the meantime, please bear with me while I sort out all the kinks. And oh, there will be kinks!

I have been terribly slack at updating around here, but the good news is that we arrived in the US without too much hassle (just a long wait at secondary) and are busily settling in to our new life.

Two months on, I can say we’re pretty happy.

For the most part, everyone I’ve met have been wonderful and friendly. Nobody has asked if I’m Australian. Instead, I’m asked if I’m from the UK. I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing

Right now, I’m going to be working on a new look for the site and updating all my templates etc. No more vicarious living for this kiwi girl!

Just A Little Gnome ...
