hey everyone!
so today was my first outing in connecticut..
& this is what happened.
we went to the bank so i could set up my accounts which was sooooo longwinded. the simplest of things the americans seem to be able to make so very complicated and confusing. anyway so after they were set up the bank lady showed me how to depsit money - these are a few differences..
the atms are touch screen
you stick the money you are depositing in this slot and it counts it for you (up to 75 notes at one time!)
the bank is extremely open, like the tellers arn't even behind plastic stuff.
so after that gobsmacking experience we went and brought paint, for harrison's room, and then had lunch at some really good healthy fast food place for a change.
then off to the mall, which might i add is hugeeee! this place is sooo much bigger then expected. we went to target and brought me a microphone for my laptop and discussed buying a mobile with the lady there, who was all huffy and puffy about all our questions, like uhh your at work, its your job. but then we decided we would go to walmart tomorrow instead to see what they have.
came home and met the neighbours, they have THE cutest dog. its like a huge poodle thing and when it runs it like bounds, so funny. then rach and i did some puzzles (only two of the kids are here this weekend, the other two are with their dad). and we had chicken wings that were boneless, from 'wings' for dinner.. they were nice.
oh and guess what once this really famous baseball guy died and so they froze him, yes, they FROZE HIM! so that in the future they could make him alive again. this is not a lie lol. the americans really did this.
and also they have cheese flavoured biscuts that are called goldfish and anyways there are in a giant milk carton, like an oak carton haha
hm what else.. i am loving having two windows in my bedroom!
i will post photos now, sorry i ahve been so slack, so much going on at the moment, i will be better in future.
oh i skyped mum today! that was good. i gave her a tour of the house and she met my host mum and her boyfriend.
and dad is about to call.. dad if your reading this, beer for my horses was on the radio today, giddy up ;)
well i think thats about it for today.
i need to put more clothes on, its pretty chilly here, or as i like to say, "fresh".
