...when you don't have any hair. Well, at least when you have a five o'clock shadow growing on your head. (or on your friends head... who you have to walk around with, be seen about town with, and console when an entire family of five stares her down for WAY longer than socially normal.)
As the poll results to your left may indicate, the public spoke, and we listened, once again. As of Monday, the 19th of April, 2010 at around 5:30pm, New Zealand time, Anna DeMattei Wheatley joined the ranks of the bald headed. Pictures can be viewed via the link on the sidebar if you haven't witnessed the process already. Viewers be warned however, it gets a bit...hairy...in the middle.
The theme of the last two weeks has been: "Pull Your Life Together." A theme we have reinforced by making our very own calendar. Complete with the smiling (actually mean mugging) faces of us truly. We were bored that day.
Last week was spent in the lovely small little tiny town of Oamaru. Known for its cheese factory (loved by the cast of Scrubs), and its yellow eyed and blue eyed penguins (not loved by Jackie - let's just say they aren't the most exciting creatures to watch from a high cliff emerge from the ocean). We were in Oamaru on a work exchange, working for a couple hours every morning cleaning rooms and making beds in exchange for free housing, free breakfast (read: toast), and free internet. Naturally we made pretty good use of all three. We spent a lot of time going over possible options for what the next couple months could look like; going back and forth over which is best, trying to weigh out our options and, naturally, ending up with something completely different. As to what those plans for the next couple months are....well we aren't going to spoil those just yet - tune in next time.
Currently, we are back in Dunedin. Anna is working the breakfast shift at a hotel restaurant and Jackie is considering picking up a paper route (Take that Jesuit education). It short, our lives are nothing short of glamorous. But its a few extra bucks to fund us on our upcoming travels. Its getting cold here. Anna is slowly, very slowly, learning to love fall and cold weather again. Jackie is quickly, very quickly getting bored with life as an unemployed member of society. But as always, we're doing well, and wearing some pretty stylish hats on a pretty regular basis I might add.
We even have a semi-permanent address (until mid June) if anyone wants to send us some love. (Especially since so many of you wanted to last time...not)
As we start to get more and more serious about upcoming travel dates, we have but one question for you all:
Who's meeting us where????????
Big Gulp eh? Welp, see ya later,
Jackie and Anna. Anna and Jackie. Janna. Aackie. We're pretty much interchangable at this point (except for the hair). Its sick.
