Cheers!

No, not cheers let's drink - Cheers (London style). I still have not quite been able to come up with an exact definition b/c people use it when
1. You open a door for them
2. Answer a question for them
3. Bump into them in the hallway
4. Get out of a cab
5. Many many more

So what is the defn. then? I don't know - it must be some universal word or something. But, I tell you what....those 7 books I read on England before I arrived not a one of them said ANYTHING about this universal word and I want it documented that all these books missed the word used most commonly here! I have not started saying it yet, but Burr has. Burr has also started saying 'bits' a lot as well. Bits and Pieces is a phrse people use constantly, for instance "I am going to the store to pick up bits and pieces for dinner" - "There are various other bits I need to work out in this memo" - I mean, I think I get that bits = parts, but why?

So the past 2 days have been great. I got home by 9pm and actually ate dinner at home - this is HUGE progress for me not to be eating dinner at work - yeah! I think I have come to realize if I leave at 9pm or 11pm I will still have an enormous amount of work to do the next day and I am a much happier person when I sleep*

*And eat at home, and don't have to clean....and a few other little things

Last night I was able to watch the last episode from season 1 of 90210. (Don't even lie - you know you watch it!) I mean I realize its a terrible show, but the definition of television is entertainment so its for sure entertaining to me! So full of drama, love it.

Last night I went to this workout class called "Body Attack" where you basically just jump around the room with a crazy happy instructor until you have burned enough calories to fall over. I could not stop laughing when the class started b/c (1) the instructor had the most fake smile I have ever seen plastered on her face while yelling"Now run! high kneees! and (2) I could not understand a word she was saying. It was really hard when I first got here and took workout classes b/c everyone's accent - I would just stare at the instructor b/c I was so confused but it got better and now I'm only a couple beats behind the music, not 10....but this girl was smiling so hard I really could not understand her at all. So after 25 min. of a 60 min class I went to the elliptical, where technically I understand but I'm still not sure what I weigh in kg's. It just seems odd to weigh less than 70 of anything you know?

Well I should be off to bed (Don't I sound so British?) haha
