RANDOM SABER THOUGHTS BY TANYA

well i think i will start with girls group as i can chalk it up to a new thing i have tried and repeat to all, that at many times my life resembles a sienfeld episode.

First we went to COP to zipline, but ended up riding the zorbe ball!! FUN!! the entire ride is only about 30 seconds...........but 30 seconds jammed pact with greatness!!!

off then we were to kinsington to look at the neat shops and try a new chinese resturant.

oh where to begin?? all waitresses were chinese.........no really chinese you know small steps, fast walking, abrupt head nods, smiles as they don't fully inderstand what you are saying anyway....and because they think we are funny little white people who order too many dishes....

3 times i asked this one waitress for something........well tried to ask for something, but she kept walking away mid breath. then they served us cans of pop, which is great as you don't feel ripped off by the whole fountain pop thing. but the funny part is they all stood in a line watching us eat, and at the first chance they would scurry by to lift our cans to refill our glasses......mine inparticular about 3 times in 1 minute.......apparently i don't drink fast enough, and i'm starting to think their wages are the bottle return money.

funniest thing was when Twink said she would take the left overs and told one girl that she "could just put it all in one bucket". This was the funniest thing this little chinese girl ever heard. with a little chuckle she said "in one bucket"...laughed...and repeated it a couple of times! they really do think we are odd little white people.........and apparently we order too much dishes....and need "SLOP BUCKETS"

Twink, a.k.a. the poperatsy, of course had her camera with her, and thought it may be fun for me to have my picture taken with the walking away waitress. the waitress gave me a big hug, and our moment was capptures forever! (ok i cannot figure out how to move the picture to here, but that is us at the top).....best part......as the waitress was looking at the picture on the back of Twinks camera, this little, and perhaps only chinese man in the place, walks out from no where, looks over the girls shoulder and says "TWINS" as he keeps walking!!

LIKE I SAID.... A SIENFELD EPISPODE!

in other "news".................i went to the gym tonight........thursday is workout #20 so it is measurment day. i think that i have lost more inches..........not 10 like the first time but some. feeling great! leg pressing 115 lbs.............my trainer says that is impressive.........i honestly wouldn't know if that is true or if he was kidding. i do know it is heavy!

all in all a pretty good last few days. looking forward to friday, where i get to spend the day with my husband............and to the last weekend before hockey gets in to full gear!!!

i am hoping to say good-bye to the blue wall in my house!
