Funny story: a few years ago, I got to go to Edmonton while hubby was working up there for a few weeks. He was already there, I had never been out of the US before. I guess I seemed nervous because I was selected to go get interrogated in customs. "Do you know anyone in Canada?" Nope. "Why are you here?" To shop at the West Edmonton Mall. "Why?" Because it's the biggest mall in the world. At least that's what the internet site said, and hubby just got a big bonus at work, and I neeed a break from the kids. "So why are you here again?". *blank stare, sweaty palms, can't breathe* "And you don't know anyone in Canada?". *breathe, Amy, breathe*. She eventually sent me to get my luggage from the luggage carousel, and called my hubby for verification while I was gone. When I came back she was doing her best not to laugh (but she could barely talk without laughing...so it wasn't very successful...). "Why didn't you say you're hubby is here in Edmonton waiting for you?". Uh...I thought you meant do I know anyone who lives here, not do I have a ride to the hotel!!!

It's pretty funny looking back at it....hubby was very nice and didn't give me much for it.  I spent almost a week in the hotel/mall. Yep. Gloriuos Edmonton Mall. LOL.

We did. My dad had the say in what we watched. If you were younger than him, and in the room you were the remote. I stayed in my room and read a lot.

NICE!

ironannekidd - 2010-08-16 10:52 AM

I could put my sunglasses on, too. I tried to tone down the brightness a bit, but it is still glowing.

givemashot - 2010-08-16 12:57 PM

Hubby has one of those screens at work too. He said something about being able to work up data and manage spreadsheets better. And wouldn't you know it, his business partner got one shortly after hubby got his...and now they've splurged and bought their employees each one as well.  

ironannekidd - 2010-08-16 11:03 AM

I can definitely use the room. It's not unusual for me to have 18 windows open at the same time. The brightness is what's killing me.

There's gotta be a way to fix the white balance. Or get an anti-glare screen cover or something.
But you are so cool that you could wear your shades all day.

Later Bill!

I think I'm at 13 runs so far. I should have WAY more than that.

Don't worry, we all know I am bringing up the rear (literally!) in the running department

The best part was when I turned to walk out of the doors to meet my hubby. He was just on the other side of these glass doors, waving to the customs official as we walked away. *thanks dear*.
ETA: I haven't left the states since then. LOL.

Haha. Oh going into other countries.

mndymond - 2010-08-16 2:57 PM On that note: I have my travel insurance paid for!! Woohoo! Haha. VEGAS!!!

cleaning and taking a closet inventory right now...I'm starting to feel a bit guilty about not tri training/marathon training...I think tomorrow will be back to business so to speak. Have a bunch of errands to get done still and then meeting for my reunion dinner tonight! So I need to get ready for that at some point because I feel like dressing up a bit.

WOOO dress up fancy week! 3 days till VEGAS! :D
