Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Who loves Mary Poppins? I do! Tonight I watched it in the basement of the manor with my friends, Danielle, Jenna, Kimmie and Austin. It's a great movie in the first place, but to watch it in England makes it even better! Between the age of 6 and 10 I probably watched this movie at least every week. At which time I didn't understand most of it, I just loved the songs. Watching this movie tonight was so much fun... the setting for the movie is London, and I recognized so many places... I even picked up on some fo the British lingo and references to British culture. I really hope I can find the time ( and money ) to travel to London to see the theatre production of Mary Poppins! http://marypoppinsthemusical.co.uk/

Sooooooooooo put on those comfy clothes! Today is PYJAMA DAY! No, that is not a typing error by yours truly. Our English-American spelling of "pajamas" is actually spelled "pyjamas" in England! Weird, huh? Those Brits are so crazy.

I've been doing laundry like crazy since I arrived last month... especially with having basketball practice and working out.. it seems I have double the amount of dirty clothes. I went into Grantham yesterday to buy some more laundry detergent. No problem. I bought the store brand, Morrison's. (similar to our Equate or Sam's Choice brands). Then, I went to find dryer sheets. No generic brand is available! Only the good stuff... Bounce. Fine, I love Bounce dryer sheets. I reach for the sheets... 3.95 pounds! That's almost $8 US dollars! I refuse to pay eight buckaroos for 25 dryer sheets. I won't do it! I will suffer with stiff socks and underwear. I won't let the exchange rate win this time.

"Ooompa oompa, doopidity doo, I've got another puzzle for you!" (sing along if you like. it's the song the Oompa Loompas sing in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory). Speaking of chocolate facotries... I'm going to Cadbury World tomorrow! Yum, what could be more exciting and delicious?! I can't think of anything! Do you want to see what you'll be missing?

I just thought about it, and I've already been to one chocolate factory... Hershey Park in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Do you see a pattern here? I think I love chocolate.

I'm off to bed now... sweet dreams.... literally!
