I am currently sitting in Dallas airport waiting for my flight to Vancouver and thought it would be a good time to update everyone. After arriving back from the dude ranch, we went out to dinner for damien's birthday (while his birthday was actually a fair while ago, since he had been sick the dinner was moved a couple of weeks late). We went to um.. cant remember the name, but it was an all you can eat place, with a salad bar in the middle, and the waitors brought round the meat, on these massive metal skewer thingys and cut it off for you. Every one got a piece of cardboard that had one side green and the other side red, to tell when your ready for food. Although sometimes they didnt pay any attention to that!!
The next day we went shopping, and i bought so much stuff! and i LOVE macys!! its so much bettter then like myer and stuff, the people there actually help you find the kind of stuff you want, and its like having a personal shopper. the woman did not think i was 21, something that happened alot, not once did i get asked if i wanted some wine by the waitors and they always took away my glass without asking! i dont look that young!! also they dont have limon lime and bitters over here, i mean come on!! anyway back to shopping, so macys was really good, and then we went to another store (cant rember many name atm as i had 4 hours sleep last nite and its like only 7am here) which had brands for cheap! which is diff what i needed. so i now have like 5 new dresses :D
On tuesday we went to nasa, which was fun! although it was freezing!! and raining and miserable. so the "tram" ride tour wasnt as pleasant as it could have been but it was still cool to see the control room, where the first and last words spoken from out of space was both houston! the green room. "houston we've had a problem". seeing the real size of the capsules and space thingys (brain NOT working right now) was really cool.
Yesterday we did some more shopping, and i got my nails done again. i got this massage aswell, and they were rubbing up my arm (which of course resulted in my arm going bright red) which felt really nice and i also got a neck massage which i really needed. We went to the post office and bought 3 boxes so i can send stuff home. and we almost fit everything in just two boxes!! and if you see how much was put in there you will be amazed i know i was!! last night they took me to a house that does amazing decorations for xmas and halloween, however the silly man had it all up but the lights werent one, but omg he had so much stuff!
i think that is all for now, i will be meeting up with jen morris in vancouver and she is even "picking" me up too. o i had macca's breakfast today, and its so hard to order its so different!! i was scared i wouldnt get what i wanted, but it worked out in the end, but took the woman a while to understand what i wanted.

Guess you are at Jen's by now. Have just realized (remembered) that I can check your blog at Work! About time. The meal you had with the green/yellow cards was the same idea as the one we had for Grandads birthday. Certainly get a lot to eat!
Your postcard arrived Wednesday I think and Grandma received hers today (Friday) - she said you made her day! Driving up to the Grannies later work today to give the grannies a map of the world (biggish) so they can keep track of their children and grandchildren's movements. Kels will be getting driving practice. XX
