Good morning people! Man, I was tired last night. Had I known that I would making so mnay trips back to the old stomping ground, I would have insisted that we stay there for another month. If this gives you any idea:

This weekend:
Thursday afternoon: hubby drives from old to new (2-3 hours b/c of traffic)
Fri afternoon: both drive from new to old for appointment (2 hours)
Friday night: both drive back to old (2 hours)
Saturday afternoon: hubby drives back to old (2 hours)

Next weekend:
Friday morning: I drive from new to old (2 hours)
Saturday afternoon :both drive from old to new (2 hours)
Saturday night: both drive back to old..need to be there early for the a.m. (2 hours)
Sunday afternoon: I drive back to new from old (2 hours)

I understand that some people commute this everyday, but I don't....there is a reason for that. There is NOTHING worth this type of commute. Come July 2nd, most of hubby's driving will be over. Mine will not, but a lot less frequent!!!

If any of you haven't see CARS yet its a must see......one of the best movies I have seen in a while!

It's perfect for kids, but has adult humor in it too. Basically just another pixar classic!

My brother told me that my niece said last night when she was being tucked in, "I SO love Aunt Beary, and I haven't seen her for days." 😍

Pdubs, sorry to hear about all the commuting. Commuting sucks big ones. I'm so thankful that I can't have a car here in Boston so Captain T has to do all my driving 😛

I'm waiting to see cars until it has been out for 10 days (I think Monday will be 10 days but I'm not sure). I get these nice cheap movie passes from my work for Loews or AMC theaters and they are $5.50 for any movie...the only catch is you have to wait at least 10 days after the movie opened.

I love cheap movies! There were $1 theatres in San Antonio, but alas, I am no longer there. They were kinda smelly though.

My husband is gone for the weekend so I was gonna see Cars or Nacho, but he wants to see BOTH with me. My husband HATES going to the movies, especially kids movies b/c of the noise, but he really loved the previews for these. And who can resist Jack Black as el luchador?

It's pretty good if you liked Napolean Dynamite.
I thought that all of the funny parts would be on the previews but they really aren't. There is plenty of other funny parts.

We have a drive in here where you can see 2 movies for $7. They are new releases only a week after their release.

Yeah, I was afraid they had given away all the good stuff in the previews. And I loved Napoleon Dynamite. My bf doesn't want to go to see Nacho, but I think I can find someone else to go with.

I can't even go to a waterpark for fear of spontaneous combustion due to my bright white skin- much less own one. 🙁

I, too, am melatonin-challenged. 😉 It has been requested by waterparks in 3 states that I do not visit their establishments, as many cases of spontaeous blindness have occurred in conjunction with my enjoyment of their parks. 😎

I only know what Hummus is .... but it all sounds yummy! 😀

I'm BBQ'ing hot dogs for lunch. Who wants to join me?

hummus is mashed chickpeas. Very Mediterranean. I love adding garlic and black olives and a little tabasco and curry for spiciness. Totally killer.

Ratatouille is great, too. Tomatos....mmmmmmmm.

I love eggplant, too.

Dude, I'm all over TypeA's meal!

I hate going over practice tests. I get so pissed when I miss easy questions that I know the answer to but during the test I just blank and put the wrong answer without thinking about how I got it.

Missing 10 chemistry and 4 physics sucks when you know you could have half of those correct easily. Difference between a 13 where I want to be and an 11 where I seem to be stuck. 😡

Maybe you are getting burned out?

I'm sure you're getting tired of hearing how well you're gonna do, but maybe you need a break!

I doubt that in real life application terms there is much of a difference between a 13 and an 11. They are both very good scores.

LifetimeDoc, I like your avatar.

This is how I felt today at the stupid fake patient test I had to do as part of orientation:

How come pathologists are supposed to know about everything else, but nobody else has to know anything about pathology? 😡

:laugh: I am pale too, but I love waterparks! I think these would be fun businesses to own and have someone else manage them 😉

I don't want to own something I can't take full advantage of. It'd be like TypeA owning a distillery. What's the point? :meanie: 😀

The babaganoush, hummus, etc sounds fabulous. I just bought 2 huge tubs each of hummus and spinach dip for a party my office is throwing Monday night. YUM!

Oh, I'd take FULL advantage, but I wouldn't want to run the day-to-day operations 😉
