I got a Wii tonight! I got bored at work (:rolleyes1 ) so I made a "Wii list" of everyone in town who sold them and called them one by one in between customers :ssst: and finally found a store that had one. I sweet-talked the guy on the phone into holding it for me until I got off of work. :cool2: ...

Even got three games-- with Toys R Us buy 2 get 1 free sale woohoo!
Any of you have a Wii or played one yet? Addicting!

I LOVE the Wii! I love the bowling on Wii Sports. We also have Super Swing Golf, which is really really fun (even if you don't like golf, like me). You HAVE to get Rayman's Raving Rabbids of you don't already have it, or at least rent it from Blockbuster. BWWAAAAAAHHHHH! (My rabbid impression). :happytv:

Between the Wii and the XBox 360, we are the nerdiest couple on the block.

Sounds like Tim's job is going well. Have you thought about where you'll walk during the winter/colder months? I'm so happy for you and your weight loss. Do we get a pic of you too? Me? Crazy, some times I feel like I don't have time to stop and think. But overall, we are well.

[LittleBlue22]

Is this the final piece of the puzzle? Can you start working now?????

Lisa left us :sad:

[suzannef]

I have to say that I was so unsure I would like being back "out there" again after being home for so long, but I LOVE it. I am really enjoying the feeling I am getting from working and the paycheck is just icing on the cake!!!! I know you will feel the same way Lisa. Hey have you heard the rumors about summer 09? Caribbean 7 night cruise is one thought. I am seriously planning on moving our 4 day out to a seven day in 09!! Anyone??? Anyone??? Buehler????:rotfl2:

[suzannef]

Lisa left us :sad:

bye Lisa........................:sad1:

[suzannef]

I am actually going too, It is 80 degrees and sunny outside and it could be snowing by next week so I'm scooting outside. Bye all...................:)

Crazy, isn't it? I went to the grocery store and was like WHOA! Now all my windows are open and I'm getting ready to go grill some chicken and hang out on the back porch with a good book! :thumbsup2

[LCTsMom]

Sorry! I wasn't gone, I was in limbo! :lmao: I can't take the (sub) class 'til the fingerprints are done. The next class is the END of November, then I also need a physical. I am guessing that I won't be working until next year. At least I'm getting closer.

It's really hot here, too. Still in the 90s! I've heard the rumors about summer 09 offering 7 nights in the Caribbean. It'll be veeerrrryyy interesting to see what's announced. :confused3 :wizard:

ok!!!!!

Taeja - he was another who wrote a funny TR, he was on the same cruise as Sleepydog. He actually had PM'd me to say he would be there, so we met up! It was pretty neat to see someone whose TR you had read in person.

We were going to have a drink together, but somewhere along the way we all got seperated. I think it might have had something to do with the fact that I was......less than sober? :rolleyes1

[LittleBlue22]

I googled Father Force and man oh man, a Diser didn't pop up

[suzannef]

I googled Father Force and man oh man, a Diser didn't pop up

uh oh:flower3: :rotfl:

[Piecey]

Everybody cross their fingers that my keys pop up tomorrow.

Because they're mysteriously missing from my car (their last known whereabouts) and I fear I may be fired if I truly lost them...

[LCTsMom]

http://bestsmileys.com/fingers/1.gif Any luck Patsy?

[Piecey]

No.. and I'm kinda flipping out.
They were in this canvas bag I bought at Disneyland-- with a CD, a pack of my business cards and a McDonalds bag.
I remember putting the bag in the car on Saturday after work. I know it was there Sunday afternoon because I listened to the CD when I went to the grocery store. Sunday night I noticed it wasn't there. I assumed I brought it in my house when I couldn't find them yesterday, but I can't find the bag anywhere.

[LCTsMom]

Was the car locked? Anything else of value missing or moved around? Maybe you moved the bag and you can't remember it. :confused3 Keep us posted!

[Piecey]

The car was locked, I think. I don't have automatic locks and sometimes I don't remember to check if whoever was in my car locked their door when they get out, but it's been awhile since someone has been in there. I remember unlocking the passenger door to get something out of my glove compartment on Sunday night and noticing the bag wasn't there.
My windows were half down, though. I live across the street from an Elementary School but school hasn't been in session since the bag went missing. Teenagers come play basketball there a lot-- and I remember some being there Saturday.

I don't know. I called my boss and told her I know the bag was in my car, now it's not. She thinks I have to file a police report in case anyone who took the bag knows what my keys were to. She's going to call security and let me know. I don't know. I'm really flipping out here.

ETA: I guess I don't know for sure that the bag was there on Sunday-- the CD I listened to is IN my CD player soo..

[Piecey]

I'm not going to get fired. When I said that she laughed and said "Not at this point, it's just a really big pain."

[LCTsMom]

Hang in there. I wouldn't be surprised if the bag turns up yet.

[zweihund]

I googled Father Force and man oh man, a Diser didn't pop up

:lmao:

There's no space between the words.

[Piecey]

Hang in there. I wouldn't be surprised if the bag turns up yet.

Nope. My house is complete chaos now! We moved furniture-- threw everything in laundry baskets and moved it into another room and pilfered through it all.

It's not here. :guilty:

One police report later, I still have my job. My keys have officially been reported stolen. :sad1:

[LCTsMom]

Sorry Patsy! I wonder what happened to them?!? I'm sure you must be totally frustrated! I'm glad to hear it didn't cost you your job. Everyone's in the same boat, we're all human. Things like this happen all the time. I hope things go smoothly from now on!:goodvibes :grouphug:

[Piecey]

I played back through the weekend with my boss and she said "It really sounds like they were taken out of your car. File the police report and it'll be okay."

Filed the report and found out that stuff is reported stolen out of cars in this area ALL THE TIME!

No more windows down for me. Sad.


...ETA..

I just remembered something else that was in that bag. At least, I think it was. I looked everywhere for it, too and I can't find it.

Whoever took that bag could really screw up my whole world. Really, really screw it up.:sad1:
I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight. :guilty: :sad1:

[suzannef]

Patsy
so sorry about your stolen bag. It's never easy is it??:sad2: My guess would be that kids stole your bag and were looking for money or electronics and probably just chucked the rest of the bag. I'm sure they are not smart enough to realize that there was anything else they could use from the bag. It was smart to report the bag stolen and thank goodness the bank understands it was not your fault. Good luck. Hey just out of curiosity did you check any of the garbage cans in the park near you? You said there was a basketball court or something right?:confused3

I live across the street from one of the city elementary schools. I checked with the school, they havent found or had anything turned in.

I've pretty much given up. The bank re-issued me keys, didn't even write me up. Pretty amazing, I was suuuuure I was going to be fired. :confused:

I'm pretty okay with it now. Bummed my bag from Disneyland is gone, and my DCL Keychain (we were allowed one keychain on our work keys and that was mine since I started at the bank the day I got home from the cruise with you guys) but other than that, i'm okay with it.

[LCTsMom]

Just popping in to say hi! We have a long weekend (Friday and today off). Today's a hurricane makeup day, Friday was a teacher inservice day. Nothing too exciting going on here, I have my second cold of the month. BLECH!

Hope everyone's doing well!:goodvibes

[Piecey]

So instead of getting fired.. this is my schedule:
8-6:15 yesterday. (1 hour lunch.)
8-5:30 today. (1/2 hour lunch.)
8-6:15 tomorrow. (1/2 hour lunch.)
9-6:15 Thursday. (1 hour lunch.)
8-6:15 Friday. (1/2 hour lunch.)
8-2:15 Saturday (No Lunch.)

..between three branches, in two cities (my lunches are my transportation time). One branch just laid at least one teller off.. and I think that is pretty horrible because obviously the demand is there or I wouldn't be running around like a chicken with my head cut off!!

Oh well, Christmas money!!!!!!!!!!!

[LCTsMom]

[PirateCutie05]

hey all! been MAJORLY BUSY! in fact...i'm on my way to the outback RIGHT NOW! me and a friend i met here are spending the night in brisbane tonight and then heading out to a place called lightning ridge in the morning to ride horses for a week! i am soooo excited!!
i have been having an awesome time! i did get to dive the GBR and have some good photos that ill have up when i get home to MD! i am trying to dive at least once more before i go home at the end of november.

[PirateCutie05]

I'm in the Phoenix airport.. boy, it looks totally different out here!

ooo patsy i know what you mean!! i made a layover in phoenix on my way out here. wasnt it just LOVELY??:cloud9: i thought it was so pretty...with the mountains and all.
that was when i was still in a good mood.:rotfl2: i slowly got more pissy as my traveling went on.:rotfl2: two days of travel straight is just nooottt fun.:sad2: :rotfl:

Ohh, ouchies. Where else did you have a layover?? I love exploring airports but 2 days of travel might be a bit too many airports to explore.. :scared1:

I loved Phoenix, too! The airport was GORGEOUS and we loved walking around.. you'd go down a different terminal and see a whole other set of mountains. Flying out there is so crazy-- you go from flaaaat to poof! mountains.. back to flat.. etc.

I wanna see more pictures! The ones on myspace are GORGEOUS!! :woohoo: :thumbsup2


Happy Halloween!! I made it back from work in just enough time to give ONE kid some candy :sad1: (And only her because it was my co-workers daughter and she brought her over).. so she got all the halloween candy I bought and promised me she'd share with her sister who couldn't go!

[zweihund]

Heidi!
Glad you are still having a blast! I looked for your sister at the Tower of Terror run, but with the other 4000 people there somehow I had a hard time finding her :rotfl: anyhow I'm sure she finished way before us, so all I would have seen would have been the back of her head.

Happy November 1st, everyone! :woohoo:

What would that mean to your life?
Is it another bank to work in and commute to in addition to the ones you work in now?
Or all your hours would be at one place in another city and you have to relocate?
Or something else?

Did the missing item (not the keys) every cause trouble?

[Piecey]

Did the missing item (not the keys) every cause trouble?
Jan :earsgirl:


No, thank goodness! The missing item was my paper with my pin code to disable alarms where I used to work (where I worked before the transfer in August) When I called the manager there she'd already deactivated my code a few weeks ago, so it'd be useless to anyone who found it.


Tom Tom bought me DDR for my Wii-- phew, this game is hard! I feel like a total idiot 'cause I'm just not that coordinated.
I really wish the instruction book gave you more information, too. It keeps grading me (and insulting me!) and I don't even know how bad the grade is!!
Anyone here DDR often enough to give me a clue? :rolleyes1

[Piecey]

What would that mean to your life?
Is it another bank to work in and commute to in addition to the ones you work in now?
Or all your hours would be at one place in another city and you have to relocate?
Or something else?


Apparently the DM (who is making this order) is saying there isn't enough demand at the location I'm currently based out of. Which is crazy to me because I filled a vacant spot when someone quit a few months ago but I'd been working there on top of hours at the branch I was stationed out of for months-- WITH that other teller there, too!
I don't really know what is going on now. I called the DM when I calmed down and said "It's my understanding that I accept another transfer or not have a job, is that right?" and he got kinda upset that I put it so "bluntly".. I told him that that was my understanding of the situation, that I was pretty sure I would NOT be accepting another transfer and if that meant I wouldn't have a job I would need to know that ASAP because I have tuition due in January that I'll need to find another way to pay.
He told me he never thought I'd decline the transfer and he'd "see what he could do" because he didn't want to lose me and that he really appreciated the phone call.
I doubt anything will come of my phone call, but I wanted to hear from him that was the situation. Even if he comes up with a "solution" they're not going to let me stay where I am and I'm getting pretty irritated with being treated the way I am. I do not earn extra benefits on all the overtime I'm working, I do not get paid mileage and I'm feeling very abused!
It might be time to say good riddance! :sad2:

Ohh, ouchies. Where else did you have a layover?? I love exploring airports but 2 days of travel might be a bit too many airports to explore.. :scared1:

I loved Phoenix, too! The airport was GORGEOUS and we loved walking around.. you'd go down a different terminal and see a whole other set of mountains. Flying out there is so crazy-- you go from flaaaat to poof! mountains.. back to flat.. etc.

I wanna see more pictures! The ones on myspace are GORGEOUS!! :woohoo: :thumbsup2

My first layover was phoenix, then vancouver, then honolulu, then sydney, then brisbane, then FINALLY i was in townsville. 6 flights?? what was i thinking?:confused3
i loved phoenix very much too.:goodvibes i will definitely be posting pictures when i get home (november 25th) and maybe try to before i leave to get a few up. we just have an internet quota at JCU and ive been trying to not run out/save some for the end of the semester to skype with my parents. (for those of you who dont know, skype is like making a phone call through the computer and is 100% free :goodvibes )

Heidi!
Glad you are still having a blast! I looked for your sister at the Tower of Terror run, but with the other 4000 people there somehow I had a hard time finding her :rotfl: anyhow I'm sure she finished way before us, so all I would have seen would have been the back of her head.

Happy November 1st, everyone! :woohoo:

Haha yeah i bet there were tons of people!! she IMed me before her race and said it was now her pre-race thing to talk to me before running.:goodvibes and then i hadnt heard back from her in quite awhile and i said holly, you had BETTER be done by now, i would have expected you done ages ago!!:lmao: and she replied that she had been finished for a bit. i bet you had tons of fun though, it sounded like a good time!:goodvibes

His nose lights up too! They also had Clarice she was cute but Amanda said she wanted Rudolph. It was her idea to have him dressed as Santa. The girls at the store said he looked really cute and was the first one to be dressed as Santa!!!!! It was an expensive trip but it was fun!!

My birthday present to him this year was paying off my laptop completely (he was giving me 1/2 the payment every month as "college assistance" but I paid it off early and on his birthday... so I called it his present!)

He might not see it that way, but right now I don't care. :rotfl:

PS: There is no such thing as a traditional Thanksgiving celebration. Every family celebrates differently and the pictures that sell cards make us all feel like we are doing it wrong. We do not need that guilt.

The other day DH said he would like to sleep until he wakes up. Let me sleep until I wake up. I can start the turkey whenever I feel like it. We will watch the Macy's parade if we don't sleep through it. We will watch some football and maybe some Disney movies--CARS and MEET THE ROBINESONS are at the top of the list. We will eat whenever the turkey is done. We will not get dressed unless our friend feels good enough after his surgery to come over or we decide to take him a meal. The kids are in PA and we are in IN.
How traditional is that?

I was pretty surprised when I got it last year, and to learn it was a yearly thing. I also won some employee competition thing-- out of the 20,000+ employees 276 won something and I did, got a $25 Gift Card. Weird, weird company I work for. :confused3

Tom's parent's live in a different county, here in WV. It's not far but so far I've successfully avoided meeting them. He generally goes over on Saturdays while I'm at work becase I'm petrified of meeting them. :eek: My avoidance is beginning to make him very frustrated so I may have to suck it up and go for Thanksgiving. :headache:

I still live by myself :) I love it. Here's a pic of the room I'm in right now (My new favorite-- and the cleanest of them all:

When I moved in this room was piled, piled, piled with boxes and clothes my Uncle had stuck in here. It took me six months but I finally got through it all and now I think it's pretty!!!

I just don't think they'll like me and I know I'll be all nervous and stuff.

I live in my Grandmother's empty house. She's unable to live on her own but didn't want to sell the house-- so instead of her losing money (monthly bills) because she lives with my Uncle, we all agreed for me to move-in and cover everything. I don't pay rent, but I pay all utilities and general upkeep.
I've lived here since March :)

And yeah.. I started out full-time but ended up dropping back down to part-time because I was going everywhere over the sun with work :)

You are sweet, charming, adorable and a hard worker. You get along well with all of us on the Thread and on the ship. You get along with your customers and all the clients you have had at your varying jobs.

You will get along with Tom's family too.

If this relationship is going somewhere long term--you will be spending a lot of time with them and getting off to a good start now is a good idea. Your friendship with them can grow as your relationship also grows.

You will be going for a visit, a holiday, a table loaded with food and lots of people to talk to. You will do fine!

He keeps telling me the same thing. He's really frustrated with me, but working as much as I have been (Until 6:15PM, with work a half hour from where I live, and then they live an hour from my house the other direction) He's been somewhat tolerant with my excuses.

I know I need to suck it up but I think it's hard because I've got so many issues with my parents, why would I wanna meet anyone elses?? :eek:

I think it is pretty long-term. We have a routine. Which shocked my parents. I think they really looked like this smiley- :scared1: - which made me chuckle. They never thought I'd "calm" down.

He's taking me to Vegas for my 21st and all my friends think he's gonna try to get me to marry him. They say we're practically married already. :rolleyes:

THAT is probably the problem.

Not all parents are alike. Some of us are wonderful, some are horrid and most of us fall somewhere in the middle.

Ask Tom ahead of time about his parents. What are their interests, what are they like, whatever you can get out of him. Then if the conversation lags, you can ask some leading questions and get them talking.

BEST WISHES!!

That is SO cute!!!

...I've got overtime again this week. I worked in three branches today alone. My ONLY break was the 1/2 hour between the first two and a ten minute walk from the second to the third. 8-6:15 with a 40 minute break, all of which was spent traveling.

This is ridiculous, don't you think? I'm pretty sure it's gotta be illegal, too.:headache:

Also, after three hours this morning at the office I'm supposed to transfer to next month I wanted to break down into tears or scream bloody murder at the top of my lungs. After only three hours.
After much thought, many tears and a lot of heartache I typed my resgination letter up a half hour ago and will probably give it out tomorrow. I love the company and the benefits, it's an amazing job for the position that I'm at in my life.. but I think it's a healthier decision to keep myself happy and persue school more actively next semester instead of working in a location that will have me stressed to tears and miserable all the time. I haven't not had a job since I was 16!!

...I've got overtime again this week. I worked in three branches today alone. My ONLY break was the 1/2 hour between the first two and a ten minute walk from the second to the third. 8-6:15 with a 40 minute break, all of which was spent traveling.

This is ridiculous, don't you think? I'm pretty sure it's gotta be illegal, too.:headache:

Also, after three hours this morning at the office I'm supposed to transfer to next month I wanted to break down into tears or scream bloody murder at the top of my lungs. After only three hours.
After much thought, many tears and a lot of heartache I typed my resgination letter up a half hour ago and will probably give it out tomorrow. I love the company and the benefits, it's an amazing job for the position that I'm at in my life.. but I think it's a healthier decision to keep myself happy and persue school more actively next semester instead of working in a location that will have me stressed to tears and miserable all the time. I haven't not had a job since I was 16!!

Yes it is ridiculous!!!
You got to do what makes you happy!!!

You have to take care of yourself.
Did you turn in the letter? Let us know how it goes. Either they will offer you a better schedule or you will work somewhere that does.

Thanks for the tree Vicki!!:goodvibes

I have Exam #3 today at 6:15 PM and I'm procrastinating on my studying.:upsidedow

I was going to go diving on Saturday but it's the day before I fly home and they say to wait 12 hours before flying but it's best to wait at least 24 hours so I can't do a second dive.:guilty: I'm still going to snorkle though, I just wish I could get another dive in there...most people did like 3 or 4 dives! I was going to do it last week but my back was hurting and I just didn't think it would be a good idea to dive with an achey back. Oh well...at least I'll still get to see the reef one last time, and be able to take more underwater pictures!!:cloud9: Help my housing pay for itself!;) :goodvibes

Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving

Journal Entry: November 22, 2006 (age 37) written by someone else

Why does Christmas get to have all the good poems? Here’s one I just dreamed up:

‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving, and all through the fridge,
Not a dish had been tasted, not even the rum porridge made by Aunt Midge;
The stuffing had been stuffed in the turkey with care,
In hopes of filling the loneliness the bird felt in there;

We, the owners of the fridge, were nestled in our Craftmatics,
While restive, hungry rodents danced in our attic;
When out in the kitchen there arose such a clatter,
I shoved my wife out there, to see what was the matter;

When what to her bleary eyes should appear,
But a surprised and plump man, drinking my beer;
I followed behind, in time for introductions,
And spied the strange man in the midst of larder reductions;

“I’m the spirit of Thanksgiving and the name’s Turkey Tom,
Have you got any more mashed taters – you must be Mom?”;
Before we could speak, he invited in his motorcycle club,
Eight enormous fat men in leather, all looking for grub;

They ransacked the room in search of more board,
Until Tom called the spirits by name (by then he’d grown bored);
“On Oliver Hardy, on President Taft, on Henry the Eighth!
On Big Bopper and Elvis, and the chubby cousin of John Kenneth Galbraith!”

(He didn’t even mention the Guinness Book motorcycle twins -
They had already gone next door, in search of loaded potato skins);
Tom shooed the other six from our kitchen, and right out the front hall,
Shouting “Wobble away, wobble away, wobble away all!”

My wife and I looked at each other with shock and dismay,
As we imagined all the hungry relatives who were headed our way;
Our Thanksgiving looked ruined, our cupboards bare frames,
But Tom said, “When no one has indigestion, you’ll be glad we came.”

And with that, he not quite hopped onto his Harley,
And shared with us words shaped by hops and barley;
“Happy Thanksgiving to all, including thee and thee,
and may you (burp) – oh, excuse me!”

Looks like we will be getting dressed after all--casual though. One of DH's staff had surgery last week. He is single so often takes holidays to go scuba diving. Not this time. He will come at 1 pm and we will eat whenever the turkey is done--my kind of timing--no deadline!

Nice cartoon TaeJa!:rotfl:
Where did you find that poem--very clever!

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Okay so I went to bed 45 minutes ago and I'm out to Black Friday shop!

Yeehaw, the best part of Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!

(other than the cookies, of course.)

[JLSE50]

copied from our Panama Canal Cruise thread so I cannot vouch for how interesting it is, but in case you are interested:

"A link here fot Santa Claus webcams.

http://www.santaclauslive.com/main.p...ieli=eng&pid=2

Now at the moment they are doing work there but the place 're-opens' tomorrow 24th. You can usually watch Santa receiving visitors but that cam is not working at the moment - probably will again after tomorrow. The outside camera is cool too. The tree has just gone up and they are building the snowmen at the moment. In December they run them 'live' rather than just the live pics.

Not as easy for you all over there to watch with timing etc, but something Christmassy anyway."

Yup!! Jammies and James Bond movies on Spike TV. Maybe later we will get the Christmas tree up and start decorating the condo.....maybe.....

Eh, it was so crazy around here.

Circuit City must have had the fire marshall called on them last year (I was in there, it was utterly INSANE and you couldn't even move) because this year they counted people. I didn't wait in line-- it was alll the way around the strip mall (that houses CC, Pier 1 and Shoe Carnival) and curled around 3/4 of the way behind it!!!

Welcome home Heidi!

Christmas tree is up and decorated. Other decorations are around the condo. Many things have reached the "find a new home for this thing" category so I listed them and sent an e-mail to my kids and when I told a friend she expressed a LOT of interest in checking out the box so what the kids don't want will go to Bev's next! :thumbsup2

My parents did that to me! Except instead of an e-mail I came home from work and had TWENTY boxes piled into the front room I'd just cleaned out! :scared1:

I won't even be here for Christmas, so I'm not sure I'm going to bother decorating much.
I'm flying to Orlando and spending Dec 18-January 3 or 4 with my brother!! :cloud9:
This not having a job thing might be just what I needed ! :rotfl:

[LCTsMom]

Erica, enjoy the tree. I've heard of Rock Band but we don't have it (yet?). Not sure if the boys want it, we've yet to get a straight answer.

Got my tree up and decorated Wednesday :eek: (I can't believe I did it THAT early), I put the finishing touches on the village Thursday night, and did most of the outside stuff last night. There are a few minor details left and I am D O N E! :banana:

Have fun with your brother for Christmas.
What is the latest on the job thing? Did you quit yet? What about that Christmas bonus?

Jan :earsgirl:

No, I didn't. We ended up having a fight and I was still INCREDIBLY mad at him on Thanksgiving so I lucked out. :rolleyes1

I quit. My last day is Friday but technically it's Saturday, I guess-- I'm just using the last of my personal days Saturday instead of actually working. :cool2:
I worked in the office I was supposed to be transferring to on Monday last week and I left so angry, stressed, upset, etc that I can't imagine sticking it out for two months (bonuses are paid in Feb.) for a few hundred dollars or so extra. Wasn't worth it!

I'm so much happier now to be going to Orlando, not worrying and just having a nice relaxing trip to look forward to before I have to come back and do the student thing. Since I'm unemployed I decided I'd be mega-student, and I have 18 credit hours next semester! :banana:

I have a feeling I'll be playing a lot of Guitar Hero while I'm in FL. All they have is a 360.. and as much as I'd love to have my Wii, I don't think it'd be very safe to take it down. :sad1:

[zweihund]

Vicky, I'm the same way with the drums. I can do the "drum" part on medium, but throw in the foot pedal and I'm just hitting it randomly and my track starts glowing red :rotfl:
Last weekend we had to ban one of our friends from singing, because he was THAT BAD. I mean, I'm not going to win American Idol or anything, especially when it's a song I don't even know (which is painful), but at least I can find a pitch! He was singing completely monotone, and he kept asking to try again. We were all like NOOOOO! :rotfl:

Patsy, have you tried Mario Universe yet? We got it this week on gamefly (which, if you don't have it, is awesome.....like Netflix for games) and it really is a ton of fun. I also love Rayman's Raving Rabbids.

I'm SUCH a nerd. :sad2:

Hi Gang.

Vicki, awesome about your GF room! Take lots of pix!

Patsy, I see purple & green on your tags (& pink for your location). Did they change it?!? Either way, congrats!

I am in "mourning". My "new" (8 month old) camera stopped working today. I have to send it to Canon tomorrow for repairs. I feel like I'm shipping a kid off to the hospital! ;) :headache: :eek: :sad1: :scared: I am so bummed!
