Went to go see avatar again today but in 3D... its such an awesome movie.

Except... the woman and man sitting beside me decided to pretty much talk he whole time, so I kindly ask them if they could keep it down.

So they stop talking and THEN she pops a piece of gum in her mouth and begins chewing and snapping it loudly. I was like: "ARE YOU FRICKING KIDDING ME???" Come on!!! Have SOME courtesy! SOME!

Then she laughed during the worst moments, I was really beginning to wonder if I was on some hidden camera show.

Bleh.. been trying to get my room finished (all organized and stuff) for the last month. It's driving me batty, but I have SO much stuff that it's crazy. I just got a new computer, too, so I'm all happy about that.

How weird is it that all the shipping/postal things are now closed on Saturdays? I tried to ship a present off to Matt (early VDay present, hehe) and everything was closed today! USPS, UPS... geez! LOL.

:lol: I know what you mean! Have you played the obstacle course one? Bill and I spent like an hour trying to beat it. You need to simulate running on the spot and then jump over things in your way. I woke up the next morning and my legs were dying!! But its really fun.

I like the rhythm kung foo! It's pretty relaxing but fun.

that obstacle course..I must have jumped off the first platform 20 times before i figured out i could just run across it....the one that gets me is the hula hoop thing!!!! My other fav is the skateboard...i feel like Tony Hawke!!!

It feels weird to say "husband". I've been saying "fiance" for 3 years :lol:

I think it took me about two years to not feel weird saying "husband". :lol: Same amount of time for my new last name. It didn't fit at all. Actually, I take that back. It still feels weird.... just not as much. lol

Except... the woman and man sitting beside me decided to pretty much talk he whole time, so I kindly ask them if they could keep it down.

So they stop talking and THEN she pops a piece of gum in her mouth and begins chewing and snapping it loudly. I was like: "ARE YOU FRICKING KIDDING ME???" Come on!!! Have SOME courtesy! SOME!

Ugh. Passive aggressive people really make me aggressive. :lol:

Oh man! The Hula Hoop game is brutal! It makes every muscle in your body burn :lol:

Ohmygosh, I laughed so hard at that game. That and the downhill slalom jump. I tried them at my daughter's house. I really really want one now. lol

Good morning everyone. :)

Went to Wegmans last week! Wow, that place is huge!! Soo many different departments! They even had a sit down restaurant (well i think they had 1 other as well) and they served wine with what appeared to be a very nice meal. Bought a small tin of Tim Hortons coffee, and it just didnt taste the same,oh well. I'm pretty sure its the cream that makes all the difference for me!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

It is the cream. But I still buy tims at wegmans too, and weetabix, and all the chocolate bars I love I miss.

I LOVE Wegmans.

On the bright side, I will have access to a Wegmans once I'm in the DC area. :) I even found my old Wegmans card from 1987! :lol:

Wow...I didn't realize that there were actually a few Wegmans on the outskirts of the DC area. Looks like the Woodbridge one is about a twenty minute drive from where we'll be living. Might be worth an occasional trip...
