Oregon weather report!

And you can expect this daily until June.

Becka - I have a package of Finding Nemo Little Swimmers (12 pack), sized for 16-26 lbs. Want me to pack 'em for you or is that too small for her?

 

[Bella2000]

My eyes are permanently crossed from looking at these reports for work. I finally had to kill a tree and use a highlighter.

 

[Bella2000]

It's really cool. I was watching DGS and his friend playing a baseball game on it, a few minutes ago. You actually swing the controller lke a bat and your arm like a pitcher. IT IS AWESOME!

You guys got a WII?! Get out! There were 300 people in line at Target today.

Here's the sad thing - I was talking to the guy at Target I always see and speak to and he said that people weren't waiting in line to get one just to sell it on ebay. Some guy mentioned he was in line to sell his spot inline to someone else! HUH?!

 

[Bella2000]

Joy, I haven't been online all weekend. How is your DH?

 

[Bella2000]

Have you played Pretty,Pretty Princess with her? DH looks so beautiful when he plays!

In preschool DH played it with DD - of course I missed it since I was on a work trip.

Hello!

Hey Dennis! Is it just the 2 of us? I'm reading backwards

[Bella2000]

OK, geeks, it's all your fault. I thought I could do this without one, but no. I just gave in to the need for a packing spreadsheet.

Would you create one for me please.

 

[Bella2000]

DH couldn't figure out why I didn't want to go to his parent's this week. When I told him I needed to put up the tree etc & pack he said that we have 3 weeks to pack. Um...no we don't...we leave in 15 days!!!! That's just over 2 weeks. Nothing from DH in response. Maybe he gets it now?

I think DH gets it now because he agreed when I said I wish we could stay home and we have so much to do.

 

[Bella2000]

... Jill, did you get a bunch of these too?


John1

if you did I'd buy it off you

People are just nuts! LOL. DGS works at the store (Fred Meyers) where he got his. There were about 45 people in line already, so his boss let him off a little early to wait in line. He was number 69 and there were 75 units for sale, only one per person allowed. So he and his friend each got one. They were playig it tonight and it looks like a lot of fun. I think it is a better deal than PS3. That one has too many restrictions and the games cost too much. phooey, although I am not a real gamer. Wii has boxing baseball etc, too, which is interactive with motion. I can't wait to try the boxing. I love it. I whip the arcade boxers quite a few times. LOL. Even at my age. I don't know if I still have the stamina though. It's good exercise.

 

[Bella2000]

Ok, I have that sick nauseous feeling when I am overtired. This was a brief interlude prior to getting back to work but I think I need to sleep for a couple of hours - wake up and complete the work then....sounds like a plan.

Better price point than the PS3 (due to blue ray in it) and the 360. Everyone was shocked at that fact. Also here there were more Nintendo systems available. You can't make me believe that they don't withhold the games on purpose. It's ridiculous. The Wii looks cool though. I saw the videos on their website of people playing tennis and bowling. That controller looks quite cool. I was going to say the controller looks revolutionary and that was what it was code named Nintendo Revolution. I actually like that name better than Wii. In either case I would look to purchase that over the others now that they have made it backwards compatible.

Hi Carla,

I'm way behind again, but just go at it when I get a chance. LOL. Angie just gave up and went to bed. I was just about to do the same. I had to quit about 1/2 hour ago because of a TERRIBLE leg cramp. OWEEEEEE!! It would not go away. I was walking like, oh, I don't know if you knew who CHester was........ on GUNSMOKE. ANyway, I walked it off. LOL.

 

[Bella2000]

Off to bed! Night Dennis!

That's exactly what my DGS said. PS3 doesn't allow you to play one of your games at a friend's house. And one of his friends bought one and couldn't play the game he bought until he downloads an update in 2 to 3 weeks. What a farce that is.

LOL re the Chester image. I'm glad you were able to walk it off - those are painful.

It's 2:55A here - I need to crash. Night!

Oh, Goodnight and sleep well.
