More shopping

Well I officially have to much free time here in Sydney since I'm not interning yet and class is only Monday and Thursday night so that obviously means shopping. Today, after the 2 hour work out at my new gym (pause and admire that sentence for a second--I'm turning over a new leaf here, mainly because Aussies are not only not obese they are perfect size 0 so I need to try a little harder to fit in) I ventured out to one of the little markets. BAH it was a flea market fiesta in there, too bad they kept yelling at me for taking pictures (whoops! did it anyways). But I found some great deals on little souvenirs for all my loved ones at home (aka most likely if you take the time to read this, you're probably on my list to get a flea market party favor woohoo!). And of course I couldn't just buy things for others, I walked away with some new rings (girl always needs some big obnoxious rings) and sadly no new additions to my slacking gypsy bracelet collection (it will grow back to where it was, slowly but surely, until the my naked wrists will just have to deal).
But there were some of the strangest little gifts scattered among all the good stuff, like a real kangaroo paw (I think it was supposed to be used to a back scratcher but the one finger sticking up would have made a handy letter opener too), and a genuine kangaroo ball sack bottle opener (let's see what lucky reader at home will get that bad boy wrapped in a bow). BIZARRE.
Anyways here are some of the photos I snapped before having several shop owners yell at me--hello don't they know who I am, free American publicity (even if it is only to a 4 person audience).
THE BLOG WON'T LET ME UPLOAD RIGHT NOW SO JUST HOLD ON 10 SECONDS AND I'LL KEEP TRYING. (not that it really matters--you people are all sleeping right now anyways)

love and cheers
