New Video Camera...
January 14, 2008
I know what you are thinking...Didn't you just get a new Video Camera? Yes we did. We returned it because it wasn't going to work for us. We needed something that we could put our videos on the computer and that camera you couldn't. We odered this bad boy: JVC Everio G GZ-MG130. It is really neat. It is a hard dive camera. It has a 30 GB internal Hard Disk Drive for upt to 37 hr and 30 min, 34X Optical Zoom/800x Digital Zoom, Memory Card Slot fro SDHC/SD; romote control and 1/6 in 680k pixel CCD. It also has an auto Illumi. light and 2.7" 16:9 Widescreen Clear LCD Monitor. It is really cool. We got it from Walmart. It was cheaper on line. I can't wait to get it. We should get it around the 17. We were able to try it out and talk to someone about it. It is going to work just fine for us when we go to China.
Oh What a Night...
January 14, 2008
Saturday...WOW, was it fun!! We went out to dinner with Stephanie and her husband Drew. Stephanie and I have been out together a couple of times. This was so we all could meet each other. We had a really fun time. We went to dinner at BJ's Brewhouse, which they have been to, but Dean and I haven't. It was nice. I know Husband was very nervous to meet them. I kept telling him not to worry. He did GREAT! He had no problems. We ate and did a LOT of talking. I think they wanted to kick us out. The place was packed. After dinner we decided to go bowling. GREAT choice!! A wee bit expensive, but very fun. We took them to the new bowling ally and I think they liked it. It is a HUGE place. I have our bowling scores, I will post later. We are currently wiping out our computer, so I can't put any pictures up until it is done. I did take some pictures of us bowling, too. After our game of bowling we went to Starbucks. Mind you it was almost 9:30 pm and I guess that is when they close. We ended up going to 2 before we found one still open. We all had a great time. It is nice finding people that you really like being around. That is Stephanie and Drew!! They are really fun people. I can't wait until we go and do something again. I think we should do a Fez Family Fun Night with games and a movie or something. What do you think, Stephanie??? Thank you both for a really fun and exciting night. Oh, by the way...Drew ended up winning both games, but Stephanie had the most Strikes. 2 in a row our last game. GREAT GAME!!!

| What Cyndi Means |
 You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. |

We Finished It!!
January 10, 2008
Last night we stayed up till 11 pm and finished the last Harry Potter book: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I LOVED it!! I was very sad that it is over, but I have to say that I really loved this book. Husband and I started in Nov and we just finished it. Why did it take so long, you ask. Well, Husband reads it out loud to me. We have been doing this since the 1st book came out. Some times it takes us a VERY long time, but this book was so intense, that we were reading it every night at least a couple of chapters. I know what you are saying "boy she is spoiled". YES I AM!! When Husband reads to me, I am able to imagine it. When I read to myself, it is really hard for me to remember what I have read. These were very important books to me. My favorite of all time. I LOVE Harry Potter. Currently in our 6 disc DVD changer, all the Harry Potter movies are in there. I watch them ALL the time. That is how much I love them. I was very sad that it was over, but I knew it had to end. Now any suggestions on what to read next??? We would like something similar to. Please leave a comment if you know of any good books.
