Just bloggin' about...

I havent been up to too much today...I ended up waking and greeting the day at 11am. Even though that is a bit late to be waking up, you must understand that Ive been hit with some severe jet lag, plus yesterday I woke up at 1pm, so I think my body is starting to readjust.

My mom recommended that I expose myself(not completely of course!;-)) to the sun for a few hours, even if its by an open window. I do have the desire to close the window shades, but I will refrain from doing so!

I think that the antibiotics are starting to seriously kick in, which is what I hoped it would have done before the trip back over to the UK......but at least I know that it is getting rid of this nasty sinusy infection crap that Ive probably had a lot longer than I care to claim.

Today is Jassen's dad's 69th birthday. HOORAY for him making it this far. Earlier this year, it looked as though he wasnt going to make it this far, so this is definitely a blessing. Jassen and I got him a card as well as a desk oscillating fan that will help for over this summer. He probably has one, but this one seems like it might be a bit nicer. Let's hope he likes it!

Before leaving the states, Jassen and I purchased the Canon Powershot SD1000 Digital Elph/known as IXUS in the UK. It is a 7.1megapixel camera and takes really nice photos as well as video! Jassen ended up getting a 8gb sdhc card, so now we can take over 2,500 pictures or 64 minutes of video! I know its a bit excess, but the novelty of it is quite cool! It is about the size of a package of cigarettes too!

At first, I didnt care for its overall boxy appearance, but after using it, it is fast and pretty much when you turn it on, its ready to shoot!



It was a nice investment, considering we only had to pay about 50 bucks out of pocket. Friends and family were QUITE generous with the target gift cards.;-)

Another thing that I ended up obtaining was Jassen 30gb video ipod as he got an 80gb for a deal! We went to the Apple Store on the day of my spousal visa appointment and ended up getting these dandy belkin ipod covers! I got green and Jassen the red!






Of course my ipod is black and looks a bit different with the green case.:-)


Now the biggest dilemma is how on earth are we going to ship the wedding and shower gifts over to the UK without damaging!? I really wanted to get as much as possible over without going through a company, but if Jassen and I manage to get a place of our own SOON then it will have to be shipped over. EEK! Any suggestions? I know that FedEx is a bit expensive.:-/
