10. Here in the U.S., we have two hot best-sellers...former First Lady Hillary Clinton's memoirs, and the new Harry Potter book (coming out June 21). If you had to read one, which one... Hillary or Harry? Why? New Harry Potter, read the other four and need to keep up with the kids. Besides can't stand Hillary, why would I want to read about her?

Ahhh, young love...

Well #1 had his date on Saturday. And we got to meet her, Katherine. She seems very nice. They had a meal (Burger King I think *g*) and then went bowling. It's just a very strange feeling to see your child start dating...for one thing, makes you feel old. "I can't have a son that's dating already". LOL!

Sunday we all went to see X-Men 2 at the base theatre. I really liked it, lots of good stuff. Of course, in best AAFES tradition, the film broke down (I don't think I've been to a base theatre where they haven't had SOME problem)...about 10 minutes from the end...which is a record for them, I believe. Ah, well, you get what you pay for...

Today went with my neighbour and her friend to the closest Wal-Mart down in Trier. Let's just say, as someone who hates Wal-Mart anyway, I'd gladly step into a US one after this. Not that it was very bad. It was like a K-Mart on a day when none fo the stockers had turned up. I did pick up two nail polishes for .55 Eurocents each and some biscuits.
