The visit with C.J is awesome. You should all be jealous.
Blogger meet ups are fun! Hard to believe he is here ALL the way from England. He drinks a lot of tea.
Not much time to give details ‘cept even Gus likes him. AND he brought her a wee gift.
We all still have the weekend to go.
But these are important photos and they need to be shown to you now.

C.J as a Canuck.

C.J masters Guitar Hero.

Ps. We watched Stranger Than Fiction last night and not one of us liked it. It lagged, it dragged, and every scene that was any good was in the preview. It didn’t make me want to poke my eyes out, I did laugh at parts but I don’t remember C.J or Adam laughing in a good way at all.

Someone may have tried to commit fraud with my bank card and so when I was at the movie store trying to rent Jesus Camp my card wouldn’t work a million times in a row until it gave the final CALL THE BRANCH and I left with my head lowered in shame and embarrassment. I already felt like a hobo in my getting ready to do nothing miss-matched Saturday night garb and greasy hair that I hope each time I don will land me on What Not to Wear. When I got home I called the stupid bank and they took forever to figure out what was wrong and told me to go to a branch on Monday. I am going in today because today is Monday. Having no access to our money for the rest of the weekend made me feel naked and somewhat stranded and we did nothing but watch golf on TV. And wouldn’t you know, it was SUNNY yesterday and we COULD have golfed outside. Granted I wasn’t too upset seeing as it has been raining steadily for weeks, giving the course a day or two to dry out is not a bad idea, so I at least found a positive somewhat still bogus trying to make me feel better bull shit excuse because I normally just wear my rubber boots if it rains so I’m lying I guess. Stupid no access to any funds.

I played some Guitar Hero. I am so far ahead of Adam now he may never catch me. We ordered a second guitar but something has gone wrong with the order, BIG SURPRISE and it hasn’t been shipped and we’ve gotten no information in over a week. We wanted it here in time for C.J’svisit. He gets here today and NO NEW GUITAR. That SUCKS.

We also watched Æon Flux which was so bad I refuse to even talk about it. See, we have this friend who buys every movie on earth it seems and he just lends random ones to Adam at work so we never know what is coming unless we specifically ask for one. �on Flux had been sitting there forever because I didn’t want to watch it and I basically said get this OUT OF MY HOUSE when it ended. I appreciate all the movies D lends us though just the last two have made me want to poke my eyes out.

Today it is trying to snow; downtown it isn’t trying very hard. I think it snowed in the burbs yesterday. It was sunny downtown though and Adam got home from work super early and we have been itching to golf so even though the TEMP greens are still up till March 11 we went and played. We really didn’t get to go very much last year because most of our spare time and money went to the wedding. It was a wee bit chilly. I have two long sleeve shirts on under my sweater and super warm socks on in my rain boots that I kept calling wellies to which Adam kept asking what he heck I was saying and I said, wellies it is ENGLISH and I said he better get used to words like bloke and flat, bloody and rubbish because we have a friend, THE C.J. Hixon with a ‘booked and paid’ for week long visit at the end of March all the way from England and I love accents and cool new words and slang. SWEET. I’m going to take him EVERYWHERE and we will play a lot of golf and he will probably laugh at how I say EH after EVERYTHING. Sucks not having a car but I still know all the cool places to take visitors and I seem to enjoy showing off the city even though I have all those other issues with the ‘outside world’ and I haven’t gotten to do it in a while. All parties are excited Adam is trying to find cool bands to go see when we aren’t playing gui-tars and GUITAR HERO!

YAY! We golfed!

* I am super happy because I executed a perfect bump and run and was left with a gimme for par, granted had it have been perfect I’d have gotten a birdie but whatever was winter greens.
