I watch too many romantic movies!

I    Love Actually     such an awesome movie   

And you loved it right, Beth!!?  The best movie ever!

How was the movie, Josy? 

Oh and for the record:  COLDPLAY WAS UH-MAZE-ING! What an awesome show. I never had a crush on Chris Martin until last night...

I loved the movie it was different from the book somewhat but I think I am in love with a vampire lol don't tell Jason that lol

Beth-Love Actually is a great movie

I was just switching around on tv and I came to the holiday again and she was standing there saying I can't leave before new years....I was so bitter lol

I am glad the concert rocked Carey....

they started the 25 days of Christmas early on Family channel and all day have been playing goofy romantic christmas movies yay

Josy, did you get a chance to speak with Jason today??

Hi Carey,
I talked to Jason about an hour after I made my last post on here...and guess what?....we worked everything out...he admitted that the refusal of the visa hit him harder then he thought and he was just very upset...I told him I was just as upset and it didn't help that he didn't talk to me...we talked a lot of things thru and he is planning to come visit me around the 2nd or 3rd of January ...wooohoo I am sooo excited...I haven't seen him since August...getting to be with him for 6 months from Jan-Jul was awesome but then not getting to see him at all has been torture...I think that was part of the problem too...we just miss each other so much...and there are times in a LDR where you wonder why am I putting myself thru this...so thank you all for listening to me last week and being there for me...but it all worked out 

I had to go to a jewelrey store yesterday for my dad and while I was waiting the sales girl saw me looking at the wedding rings and she said I have just the perfect ring..it was an eternity band with diamonds all the way around...it was $7000...hehe (that is way to expensive) but I decided last night to get back at Jason and I told him since he made me so miserable for the past few weeks that I have picked out my wedding ring and it is only $7000 lol....I would never expect him to get it...but I just thought I would put a scare in him

I hope all your weekends are fun and exciting

YAY Josy!! So glad that it's all worked out!!!! That's funny about the ring, too! LOL Sounds like something I would have done, except I may have let him sweat about it a little longer.

I tried to stay up to finish Love Actually, but by 1 am, I was just too tired. I'm rewatching it from the beginning. I love the line that one guy said at the wedding: "I am Colin, god of sex! I'm just on the wrong continent is all!" HAHA Except for the part about being called Colin and god(dess) of Sex, boy do I feel like that! "I'm just on the wrong continent is all!"

Wonderful news, Josy!  That made my weekend.  Love prevails!

Ok I've decided the best scene in this movie is the 3 girls and Colin sitting around comparing how they say different words! Then they get to table. "Oh, it's the same. "

Also, did anyone else notice that the music they use for all the tearjerker romantic moments sounds like the opening music in the (fake) movie scene bit of the Holiday??

I just saw Tim off for a 12 hour overnight shift.

All alone until 6am.  Yuck.

see so my life is like a sappy romantic movie and if all is good we have been thru the bumpy part and could be on our way to happily ever after lol....

my mom and sister are supposed to leave for Disneyworld this Friday for a week..and my dad has been having more medical issues (they have been on going)  so my mom may not be able to go...she doesn't want to leave dad home alone..which she wouldn't have been because I am here......she just offered me her all expense paid trip to Disneyworld with all meals included...I can't believe it...I told her she should really go on the trip as I would be staying home with my dad ...but she says she doesn't want to leave him alone...and she doesn't want my sister to have to cancel her trip...so I have to talk to the people at work ...I may get to go away in a week...


I will keep you posted

LOL yes, Beth - those girls are so disappointed when he says words "normal".  Colin certainly has a successful trip to America, though!!
My favourite scene in the movie though is when Juliette shows up at Mark's house to find the wedding footage and sees that all he has filmed is her... "Its a self-preservation thing" and he walks out the door.  Its breaks my heart every time!!
And good point - the music is very similar.  I really like the soundtracks for both movies - lots of good songs.

Aww I'm sorry Anna.  What does Tim do that he has to work such unfortunate hours (and leave you all alone!!)

Wow that would be wonderful Josy. Nothing beats a surprise holiday! And how sweet of your mom - that is LOVE!  My thoughts are with your dad, I hope its nothing too serious going on with him.

Ok, I'm definitely buying this movie today when I go to Target! I so heart Colin Firth!!!

Excellent decision to buy the Love Actually dvd it shouldn't be that much it has been out for nearly 5 years. Dh got it for me ready to watch when I moved over to the UK in July 04 he knew I would have a rough couple months before the wedding being without my family. :\\\'( we watch it every Christmas now that is our tradition. 

Tim works for Network Rail. (aka BritRail) He's a signal box man, and he has three possible shifts -

6a-2p
2p-10p
10p-6a

but Sunday's aren't actually part of his weekly schedule,and working on a Sunday gets you time and a half automatically, PLUS extra for working more than 8 hours in one day, so when they asked him to pull a 12-hour shift, he took it. He also gets a shift differential for working the overnight....so....yeah, totally going to take that!

This week he's got two of the overnights, then a half day on Tues (where he gets paid for 8 hours and only works 4. I LOVE unions), and then he's on lates the rest of the week.

I told him when we have babies, he's doing the 4am feeding on the days he has 6a-2p shifts :p.

*Edit*

One of Tim's old boxes:


They closed that one and switched it to a computerized system, but he works both computerized ones and at the actual boxes with the switches.

we watch it every Christmas now that is our tradition. 

This is my tradition too, and my BF doesnt know that it is soon to become his!!  I need to buy the UK version so it will play on his DVD player.  He's in for some mushy movie watching!

Good plan for the baby feeding, Anna!  My dad would be jealous of Tim - he LOVES trains and would totally get a kick out of doing that
