Game Stop Visit

I think it was actually and EB Games, but either way same store. We went to see Marley and Me and then had some birthday gift cards to use at Game Stop so we went there to buy some Wii items. Thanks Sean (and family) and Ryan (and family)! Mark scored SimCity, Tiger Woods golf game and '09 Football something or other. I am not a gamer can you tell? I love my Wii Fit and bowling. I can do a mean hula hoop and have the ski jump game mastered. We also broke down and got a new laptop - Mark has a friend at Best Buy and we got hooked up with a techie - a very good techie at that. So we now have the webcam thingydo. Much exploring to do. Tips are welome. I'm so excited to finally have all the keys on the keyboard again.
Back to the movie experience - good movie - I love Jennifer Aniston - I know passe probably, but she was good, Marley was funny and naughty and Owen was a good match for Jennifer - that was her name in the movie too. Weird. While waiting in line we met some huge movie buff. I was not looking for advice, but Mark was asking me questions and she felt the need to make sure we knew the answers. LOL! Do I tell you now or later that this was a 10:30 movie? AM that is! Never gone that early in my life. So this lady tells us the movie is $4.12 and with taxes it is $5. I can do the math - that is 88 cents in taxes to see a movie or 20%. Hmmm... She was telling people which movies were good and bad and she had some special deals card. Clearly a movie expert.
Next up installing our wireless internet router. Supposedly this will allow us to play Wii online. Gotta love that one!

How did you go shopping after seeing Marley and Me? I went with a group of friends and we had all read the book and were puffy faced and red eyed afterwards. Very sad. It's a true story though, which is why her name was Jennifer. The book is waaaay better. Lots of missing stories, it will make you laugh out loud.

Our friend Mavis, does Wii racing online with her grandson. Loves it. They were Wii bowling at a bar the other day. People are really into it.

You don't look 56.
