Joe bought the new Nintendo Wii this weekend while he was visiting his parents. We have been wanting one since they released them.

A few times every month we look at Target and Walmart to see if they have any. It came to the point where Joe signed up for a list that told him where the games would be. They would always sell out right away.

While Joe was in Florida he went to the Target near his folks house just to see. They had 10 in stock! He picked one up right away! Hooray!

He set it up last night and we played for 4 hours! I took a break to iron some things, and he took a little break. At that point we were playing on our own.

I think that many people who own the Wii will lose weight. You really have to put your whole body into playing the game. It is ALOT OF FUN!

Joe and I were laughing saying… “This is our crack!” We were addicted immediately!

I ordered a couple of products from Clinique online last week and received the package yesterday. I opened my eyeshadow up (it was a duo in one) there was nothing on the one side that was suppose to have the lighter shade. It looked like it was a manufactuering problem. You would think that they would check that before they sent it out.

I was thinking of returning it and Joe said I should just call customer service. I spoke with a woman named Daniela and told her the situation. She was very helpful. She said she would send another one out immediately at no charge. I asked her if I needed to send the other back and she said it was not necessary.

I was so happy when I finished speaking with her.

Working in sales I am very aware of the customer service that I receive from other companies. I am EXTREMELY happy with customer service support that I received from Clinique!

I will definitely shop online with them in the future!

Joe and I are big fans of the show Heros.  Last night great!

At the end of the show there was a preview of a new show coming out this fall.

Bionic Woman!  I have mixed feelings.  I LOVED the show as a child.  I even had the Bionic woman action figure and the little lab that she hooked up to.  You could even take the little chips out of her arms and legs.

Looking at the preview at first I was like “No this can’t be.”  Then the second time I looked at it I changed my mind.  I think it is going to be a pretty cool show.

I am sure that I will watch it every week.

Here are 2 trophies from when I was a girl.

I took a pic of them because we were cleaning out our things that we had stored at Joes folks house last September. I gave them away, but wanted to have a picture of them.

I thought about them because the womens bowling championships are here in Charlotte this week.

Now I want to go bowling!

This is a strange sculpture we saw while on the riverwalk in Milwaukee.

I don’t get it. But it was interesting enough for me to take a picture of it.

Joe and I went to visit Eddie and Liz in Milwaukee this weekend.

We had a really nice time there. Eddie worked both days, but we still had alot of time to spend together.

Liz gave us a tour of the city both days. This pic is from yesterday. We went on the Riverwalk in the city.

It was really nice to see the two of them again!

I just had some new prescription Sunglasses made. Here is a pic of me my new suns!

I have a new phone and I can no longer see myself to take a good photo so this will have to do.

I saw the absolute best bumper sticker driving to work today.

It said

Live larger, Drive smaller….not everyone needs to drive an SUV.

That says it all doesn’t it?

On Sunday Joe and I met up with Lee and Jamie and saw Spiderman 3. It was alot of fun! Lots of funny scenes in the movie. On Monday I heard that it is now the highest grossing movie. It earned $148,000,000 this weekend! I can’t even imagine. I used to watch the Spiderman cartoon when I was little. I still know the song by heart!

On Saturday Joe and I went to see Year of the Dog. Molly Shannons first dramatic role. It was so good! About her finding herself. I read that Molly went to New York University and studied drama with Adam Sandler. That is amusing. That 2 of the funniest actors on Saturday Night Live studied drama.
We have a wonderful Art House theatre down the road from us. The Manor. It is owned by a larger movie chain, but they are always playing indie films. Joe and I try to go and see everything there. There were a few films that we didn’t see because we were not interested. But on a whole we normally go whenever a new film is out.

I am so glad that I found someone that loves film as much as I do. Doesn’t hurt that Joe studied it in college either. We discuss the film after we see it. Love it!
