Got my fix....

Okay, so we found out who had season 5, but could not borrow it, yet. This how the conversation went. Called the crazy lady who owns season 5, not the friendliest person to talk to, ever. But we still gunned it & said, what the heck, lets just try. You know the knot in your stomach, when you talk to people that are crazy & just plane out weird yah. Given we've never made this lady mad, not that we know of. We keep our conversations to a minimum, b/c you never know if she'll ignore you when talking to her, although my husband is good friends w/ her husband. Any way here's how the conversation went.

Btw, Steve was the one who called her. So & so, how are you. Hope all is well. We heard you guys owned season 5 of Gilmore Girls & was wondering if we could possibly borrow it. We'll get it to you asa we're done with it.

So & so response: I"M AM CURRENTLY WATCHING IT RIGHT NOW & DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL BE DONE WITH IT. MAYBE IN 4 WEEKS. BUT I HAVE STRICT RULES, WHEN I LEND MY DVD'S OUT. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Steve: I understand.

So & so: MY DVD'S MUST NOT HAVE ANY FINGER PRINTS, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Steve: I understand.

So & So: BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH......DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Steve: I understand, OK, well thank you, Good night. Click

Shocked, my, do I look like I'm 4!! Enough said, I know what your thinking, that's exactly what I though, & wanted to voice my opinion. But not worth it.

So after that sour conversation & us not giving up for a boring evening, Steve went to the video store only to find out they didn't have "GG"

Still not going to have a boring evening, so Steve went to Metro, which is like a Sam's type of store. & found season 5 for 20 Euros baby. Not bad at all. I said take it.

So we now own season 5, we might be owning season 6, since we don't know who owns season 6.

Steve came home not only with season 5, but with 2 very yummy ice cream pops. Brand: Magnum Temptation. vanilla on the inside with chocolate covered Almonds inside, covered in yummy chocolate on the outside. They are the best.

I think we will be done with season 5 by tomorrow evening.

Sunday we go to Paris, I can't believe we got 2 more days. I am so psyched!!! I can't believe we are going to Paris, the 2 of us, all paid for, including meals & the train passes. We already have sort of a plan on what we're hitting 1st, Monday morning. We will have to get up early. Take the train to the city. I will keep you posted, if not you'll def, be posted when we come back on Wednesday.

I'm a junkie!!!

Did I mention that I have become a "Gilmore Girls" junkie? Yeah, well I never really saw an episode when I lived in the States. A friend of ours, well he's a kid from the youth group that like to hang out with us on occasion, his family has the 1st 4 seasons. I just found out there are 7 seasons! Wow, American TV, music to my ears. Hallelujah, can you hear the choir of angels singing? OK back to my story.

Did I mention I've become, well We've become, Steve & I, "Gilmore Girls" junkies. Who would of thought. I would of never watched that TV show, it never caught my attention. But now, my life is, well different & well quite obsolete & well quite- non-English speaking. Well except for CNN & BBC Prime, aka BBC Crime (it's a joke).

They had been sitting in our TV armoir for about 2wks now, still was not interested in watching them, until we got really really really really bored & could not decide what movie to watch for like the 50Th time, of course there are other things one can do when bored. Ha! gotcha. Well I popped the 1st CD in. Steve & I sat there wondering what kind of TV series this was. Well after watching the first episode we had to watch the next episode to see what happened with the ending of the prev episode. It's like a cycle, you get the gist. You know they do this on purpose so you can be glued to the TV & or wonder desperately what happens next, when will I have time to watch the next episode or CD, season. Love that there no commercials, & oh, the skip button on the remote control, LOVE IT!! Whomever invented the remote control (SKIP button) is a genius!!! you just skip thru all the credits that start rolling at the end of the episode. Yah, skip baby! that's what I'm talking about. Then your on to the next episode!!!

Did I mention I'm a "Gilmore Girls" junkie? Well, now I have to find out who has the rest of the seasons, so when we're done with all 4, well we can watch the rest. OK that's my scoop for the day, add whatever toppings you would like.
