Hello there,
So I slept in again after going to sleep at about 4am yesterday or rather earlier today. I was actually in bed by about 2.30 but the whole Eclipse thing had me so excited that I just couldn't sleep.
So when I was finally up, I unpacked Johnny the backpack and tried to sort out the clothes that had to be wasched. Then I decided that everything smelled like backpack and that I'd just throw everything in the wash.
While the clothes was washing/drying I watched the two movies I had bought in San Antonio when I was with Melodye (One was good, the other was kind of stupid) and went out with the dog (It was freaking HOT)
Later Sunshine picked me up to go shopping to have BBQ tonight. In the store I picked up some hsir dye to try and lighten up my hair.
Sundhine's friends came over and we eate while watching So you think you can dance.
Later that night, I tried to watch the season finale of In plain sight. The computer drove me crazy, It took me almost 2 hours to watch a 45 minute shoe. So that had me in a not so good mood already and then, the stupid writers decided to finishe the season in such a freaking stupid way I wanted to scream and throw my computer to the wall! TV Shows can be really frustrating but of course, we love them!

June 29 2010 - Finally Finally Finally Finally Finally Finally Finally...... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey everyone
The day has finally come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well actually the day of the days is tomorrow but let's start at the beginning
Bubba and I slept in till 11am, I haven't slept that long since I've been in the States. We had breakfast and spent the afternoon watching movies and playing xBox.
At around 5.30 Sunshine came home from work to pick us up to go eat at Chipotle (LOVE IT). But before that, we had to make a stop at the mall, why?
Well, there's a movie theater at the mall and if you noticed the date, it's June 29th which means tomorrow is June 30. What happens on June 30? I can not believe you haven't marked that day red in your calander!!! The Twilight Saga Eclipse premiere is on June 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meaning: midnight showings!!!!!
We had briefly considered doing the Twilight experience. The Theaters were showing all three movies in a row starting at 6.30pm, but we that would have meant no Chipotle so NO :) Sunshine had ordered the movie tickets online in the afternoon so we just had to pick them up.
So we walk into the theater and believe it or not, people were already standing in line for the midnight shoe, it was about 6pm (In the States there is no seat assignment in theatres so if you want a good seat you better be there early) We learned that all the shows at midnigth were sold out (thank God we had our tickets already). And let me tell you this, they were showing the movie in 12, yes 12 theatres and all 12 rooms were sold out, can you believe this? It's crazy!!!!!!!!! But hey, I understand everyone who couldn't wait the least bit longer then they have to, to see that movie.
So with our tickets in the pocket, we ended up at Chipotle. It still tasts as good as I remembered. The one thing that struck me though, I ordered water and paied over 2 dollars for it, buying softdrinks with free refills was only a little bit over 1 dollar. I think this is totally crazy, I really don't believe this!
After the mexican food, we went to a place called Purple Kiwi. I love this place. You can buy frozen yoghurt there in all kinds ov flavours like birthday cake etc. Then you can top it up with cookie dough, m&ms, fresh fruit, chocolate chips etc. It tastes simular to ice cream but it's not, how cool is that???
Then, Sunshine dropped Bubba and me off at the movie theater. It was about 8.30pm. So we still had over three hours to wait. We had cards and played poker :) at 9.45pm they let us into the room and we got the best seats in there, but still, we had some time to beat. We spent it playing Who wants to be a millionaire on Bubbas IPod. I also eavesdropped on conversations some kids were having. Well it wasn't even eavesdropping as they were yelling across the room. I wrote some of the stuff down they were saying cause I thought it was funny. So in the row behind us there were some girls who had just picked up to black guys and made them come to the movie with them. At one point all but one of the guys were gone to get popcorn ok so here we go:
guy ( about 17): Great who am I talking to now?
girl behind him: Hey you can talk to me.
guy: who are you?
girl behind him: Brianna
guy: Do they call you Bree?
girl behind him: yes or B and sometimes B-Anne and you? (Oh how cool ur nicknames are :) )
guy: Chase and they call me Chase.
girl behind him: That's my friend, her name is Kitty, like Kitty Cat. (Did she really just say that???)
(...)
girl in another row: Hey what's your name? (What's the deal with everyone wanting to talk to this guy, he's not even hot!)
guy: Chase
girl in another row: Oh that's soooo cool! So Chase are you Team Jacob or Team Edward? (Did she seriously just ask him that? I mean did she really think he had read the books?)
guy: I don't know, I haven't decided yet. I'm Team Chase! (Of course you are)
(...)
guy: Hey where's your boyfriend?
girl behind him: He's at home.
guy: How old are you anyway, thirteen?
girl: Nooooo I turned 15 this year.
guy: Oh does he still have to sneek out to come see you, how cute.
girl: Am I cute? (?????????)
guy: I guess! (ups! :))
girl: You guess? We are so done!
It just made me feel like this girls were all stupid! The way they talked and acted all girly girl! It really had me LOL!
And then, FINALLY, at 12.01am it was time and it was AWESOME and I want to go back and se it AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN...............
Sunshine picked us up at 2.15am after the movie. Back home Bubba finished packing his luggage cause he had an early flight to catch to go see his Dad in New Mexico. I set my alarm to go to the airport too and then spend some time downtown, maybe go to the sixth floor museum, but of course, I slept through it :)
Anyway, there's only one thing left to say, ECLIPSE ROCKS!!!

June 28 2010 - Trip to the Aquarium
Hello there,
The first thing I did this morrning was pack all my stuff cause I would be moving to Sunshine's today.
Dalton had football camp this morrning but as soon as that was over, we drove to downtown Dallas to visit the Dallas World Aquarium.
That place is more like a zoo then an aquarium, it's really beautiful in there and they have a whole lot of different animals, not just water creatures but also monkeys and birds.
It really feels like walking around in the jungle.
The coolest thing is those kind of tunnels you can walk through and you can see the fish swimming over you. They also have a tunnel like that for the shark tank.
Sandy and Dalton
Doesn't it look like they are flying?
We were at the shark tank in time for their feeding, however, it was not as spectacular as we hoped it would be. Those sharks just didn't seem to be hungry!
They also have a turtle in the shark tank:
and then we found those, smaller, well behaved cuties
But my absolute favorite was definitly this beauty
Befor heading back home we stopped at the Dallas Hard Rock Cafe to get my T-Shirt :) YAY!!!!!!
As you can see, those two were pretty tired after the aquarium experience so they took a nap on the 30 minute drive home :)
When we got there however, they were awake again and took me and Sandy to the little lake they have in the neighberhood (on a golfcart, that was fun) to go fishing. We didn't stay very long, we were barely there when we heard thunder and saw lightening, so we returned to the house. That's where Sunshine picked me up that night.
We drove to here house in the rain. I had never seen it rain like that in Texas before. At the house Bubba and I spent a good while playing soccer on the xBox, needless to say that I loost all the time, I was however really proud of myself when I mad atleast one goal!
We finished the evening by Brangelina shooting at eachother in Mr and Mrs Smith.

June 27 2010 - Discovering Dave and Busters
Hey there
We spent the morning at home today. Just hanging around, relaxing, watching TV and surfing the internet.
In the afternoon we drove to the big mall to go to Dave and Busters. Sandy's niece Sunshine has a son, Bubba, who was celebrating his 13th birthday there.
Sunshine, Bubba and me (obviously :))
I had never been to a Dave and Buster's before so I did not really know what to expect.
The place has to stories, the top one is more for adults. It's a restaurant and there is a bar with billiard tables etc. The lower level is like a giant game room. SO what you do is buy a kind of card that allows you to play all the different games there are. They have trivia games, basketball games, wheel of fortune kind of games and many many more. There's also this game with the huge crawl where you have to try and fish a stuffed animal out of a 'bucket'. Sandy won a San Antonio Spurs teddy bear and the two boys each won a giant boxing glove, one in blue and one in pink.
Sandÿ's new Teddy
Yesterday, Sandy had told me about chocolate martinis and I was eager to try one. So we hit the Dave and Busters bar and ordered. Of course the girl wanted to see my ID. I handed her my driver's license. She looked at it for a while before asking me where I was from. When she heard I was from Switzerland she started speaking to me in German, not perfect German but I totally understood her. That was kind of cool.
She mixed our Martinis and let me tell you, omg, I love chocolate martinis!!!!!!!!
That night at home the boys decided they were in the mood for pizza so we ordered pizza over the phone and had it delivered to the house. That's another american thing I really wanted to experience. It was awesome :) (I know I'm weird :) )
We watched the Daytime Emmys (Emmys for soap operas) and then, I got to watch the new True Blood episode on an actual TV instead of a computer screen!!!!
Oh and I have a new favorite ad, here's the link, watch it, it's worth it (maybe it's on Swiss TV too):

June 26 2010 - Shower Time
Hello there,
So today was an exciting day for me. I got up early and got ready to drive to Waco with Sandy, Dalton and his friend.
What's in Waco? Well, one of Sandy's friends, Lacee was having a bridal shower today.
Here in the States people host bridal showers for the bride. Basically, it's an event where there's cake and snaks and drinks and the bride gets presents. Her party was a lingerie party. So all the presents were lingerie, her cake said "Lacee's secret" and everything was victoria's secret pink.
The girls had spent yesterday night in Austin for the bachelorette party and told stories about that. It was a looooooot of fun believe me. And just so you know, I want one of those showers! :)
The thing that struck me is that basically all her friends who were there were around 22 and they all have a big rock on their finger. They are all engaged or married already. I did feel kind of old :)
We got back to Celina around 9.30pm (it's about a 2 hour drive) and I was really tired so it was off to bed for me pretty soon after getting back home.
Anyway, it was a really cool day and I was so happy Sandy took me there.

June 25 2010 - Good to see you again Sam, I really missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello there
After sleeping in this morning me and Sandy hit the road to run some errands in town. We went to a store called hobby lobby which I absolutely fell in love with. My dad would hate it cause its full of stuff to decorate your house. Dad would say they are things that stand around and collect dust. Anyway, one more thing I wish we had back home. I think I said "I want to move here" at least 5 times a day in the last week...
Then we went to Sam Moon. I had been to this store two years ago. It's a chain that only exists in Texas, maybe even only in the Dallas area and it's heaven. Full of cheap accessories, hand bags, wallets, jewelry, luggage etc. Girls check the the homepage (I'm in the area till july 2nd so hurry if you see something on there u absolutely need!)
http://www.sammoon.com/web3/product.asp?cat=handbag&tempcat=Totes_bag&sub=sub
I found a little clutch for the wedding and a new wallet and ear rings... LOVE IT!!!!!!
that's it for now
talk to you soon

June 24 2010 - Welcome back wierdness
Hey y'all
Ok during that time in San Antonio, I had already forgotten that there are wierd people took the bus. There were two bridsnest haired backpackers who immediately made friends with a black gay guy. They had a lot of fun during the whole trip and were not the least bit quiet which I personally think is so disrespectful at 2am in the morning when people try to sleep.
And then behind me sat a red haired/beard guy who started talking to me via cell phone. He would write down something on his cell phone and then show it to me... hello can't you speak like normal people?
We got to Dallas at 3.15am. The bus to McKinney wouldn't leave till 6.30am so I had over 3 hours to kill. Red haired guy was back with his phone asking me (still through his phone) if I wanted a sandwich or something to drink. And I know now you're probably all thinking 'maybe he couldn't talk' but he could speak, I had heard him on his cell phone. Oh an of course he was going to mckinney too so I was stuck with him sitting next to me all this time. On my other side the black guy from the bus had taken a seat and started sewing.
I finallt got to McKinney where Malodye's sister Sandy picked me up.
After getting Johnny home and picking up Dalton (her son) we dropped him of at football camp and then had breakfast. Mmmmmm chocolat chip pan cakes.
We spent the afternoon watching TV and surfing the net. I also had a long nap after my sleepless night in the bus and the Dallas station.
We had dinner in a chinese restaurant I had noodels with veggis, very good again.
That's it for now
