Hi, girls. I’ll start us off today.
I’ve noticed a trend that there are the least posts on Sunday. It seems like last Sunday there was no RT thread at all. But usually I have the most free time on Sunday!
I haven’t had time this week to post any personals, so let me get in a few:
Gin—I really enjoyed Step Works. I have the Cardio Hits DVD with SW, Power Max, and Step Fit. I think Power Max is boring, but I like the other 2. They are older, so they’re good in a “classic Cathe” kind of way. But SW and SF are worth having IMO
Vicki—I was so happy to see you post, and re-post, and post again!! I seem to frequently remember something I wanted to say right after I hit “post.” Glad I have company!
I wanted to thank you all for the sympathy and encouragement regarding the Reverse Culture Shock I anticipate!
Tess—you said hearing about Reverse Culture Shock was “interesting.” I think the most “interesting” thing is the FACES people make at us when we haven’t a clue about the most recent technological advances in US society! LOL.
Mona and Vicki—thanks for the sympathy with challenging vending machines and lockers! If I look clueless on the RT, it’d be nice to have some company!
Liann—Yes! What you described is EXACTLY what happens to us. People mention TV shows and singers, and we have no clue who they are talking about. We do get looks like we’re from Mars sometimes.
You all were so encouraging. It helps to know that everyone struggles with fuel pumps, scanners, and those wonderful little devices that are SUPPOSED to make life easier and turn out to be a big headache. The fact that we run into so many new things in such a short span can be overwhelming. But it helps to know that everyone is stumped at some point! I think the worst of all is at the grocery store or Wal-Mart. Everyone is standing in line behind me, and they’ve changed the credit card scanner since last time I was in the States. The cashier is looking at me like, “Are you an idiot? It’s a simple scanner?!” And everyone is line behind me is sighing. I feel so much pressure!! Maybe one of you can fly down to Ft. Worth and hold my hand the first time I have to go to Wal-Mart!!
Liann—I also wanted to say kudos to you for your goal of doing all the GS push-ups on your toes. That’s amazing. I’ve been working hard on big girl push-ups, too, but that is a much more lofty goal than mine!!
Maybe this week I can have a little more time to post so I avoid the enormous week-end catch-up session!!
