This weekend I watched two really good movies: The Hangover and The Proposal. The Hangover is HILARIOUS, probably the funniest film I saw that was released last year. Plus Bradley Cooper is nice to look at. The Proposal was a cute movie tho I think it was enhanced by Paula and Kirstin’s presence and quips. The only thing I didn’t like about The Proposal was that it had some immigration stuff on it that brought back some memories and also made me slightly nervous about Tim moving here :-/

I’ve also got Public Enemies and Up to watch sometime soon which I can’t wait for. Anyone got any recommendations for good movies to watch?

Now that we’re into November it’s time to start getting ready for Christmas and boy did I make a start on it today!

Paula, Kirstin and I drove over to Costco in the afternoon and I brought my iPod along since I found the cable to make it work in Paula’s car. Boy was that a mistake! Kirstin found the Christmas playlist and decided we would listen to Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You on repeat. It made us feel Christmassy but also got rather annoying.

Costco was very Christmassy too and had lots of cool toys to gawk at. Then on the way home we stopped at Silverburn and I went to Starbucks and got not only a red cup but also one of the new (RED) Starbucks cards AND an eggnog latte!

Oh it was so good. I’m going up to East Kilbride on Sunday so I’ll try the Starbucks there for some too. I also managed to get a free bag of coffee because the woman forgot to rescan it after she took it off to put £20 on my Starbucks card, so I got it free. Yay!

Tonight we had dinner at Kirstins, she made pasta carbonara and it was really good. There was also cake, photos of which I’m sure will be making their way onto Nicoles Facebook sometime soon.

Twas a a good day.

I went into town today to meet Chris and then Kirstin, was nice to have a catch up with them both.

I also did a bit of shopping since I got the £400 for my iPhone so I was gonna go a bit spend happy on myself but in the end all I bought was a book (The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest), some dvds (The Fall, Hellboy 2, Ghost and Requiem for a dream) and two PSN cards for James.

I was thinking of buying Dirt 2 or Ultimate Alliance but they were both being sold at £45 in Game, when did that become the new standard pricepoint? Ah well, I have a ton of games I need to finish anyway.

I think I’ll just save the money instead. Excitement abounds.

Well tomorrow I finally (finally!) head off for Seattle and I cannot friggin’ wait! I’m sitting on my break just now at work and I only have two hours left but it feels like eternity.

Once i’m done work I have quite a lot to get done today. I head home, package the Singstar game I have to return, go post that, get the train into town, go to Emma’s office to pick up my birthday card, head over to John Lewis to see if they still have the suitcase I liked, meet Chris for coffee, go to Borders for magazine, pick up various candies for Tim, go home for last dinner, check in online at 8pm, head out to Beanscene for a coffee with Paula and Kirstin then head home and pack before getting a taxi at 4am.

Then it’s only 14 hours till I touchdown in Seattle and summer begins!

This is a card I got from Kirstin today. Inside it reads:

Dear Jamie, apparently Hallmark don’t make these cards so I made one myself. Happy New Puppy Max and Happy 21st Birthday party I am RSV”Peeing” yes please! Lots of love from Kirstin.

I personally thought it was really cute (tho I don’t think my dog should be weeing lava) and rather touching that she went to so much effort just for a simple RSVP.

I went out for lunch today with Paula, Kirstin and her friend Suzanne. Suzanne was one of those people I never really saw at school except when with Kirstin so it was nice to see her again, she’s a lovely girl albeit with an evil sense of humor!

I’m now headed into town to meet Chris for coffee and chat. I’ve not seen him in ages so it’ll be good to catch up.

I also just booked my flights to Seattle! I leave Wednesday 17th and return Thursday 10th September. I booked it through Netflights.com for £424 as it was gonna be £499 through the actual KLM website. How does that work?

Two months tomorrow!
