Slip Slidin' Away

I am so comfy in my lounge pants right now but I can't slouch comfortably in this rolling chair because these pants are too slippery. It's not the wine you know!

And...FYI....I no longer smell musty or spicy. I smell like a mall.
It was such a fun day today. I got to go shopping. I hadn't been shopping in ages . Once in a while you just need to get out and not work. I've had several Sunday mornings where you in front of your closet and just sit.... Reitmans' had a really good sale on and I got two skirts, a pair of jeans and a t shirt and two necklaces for the price of one. Way funky too! I still need a new sweater, but there'll be other outings I'm sure. I also got some funky new boots. I really like my tall boots but they're high heeled and lately, after 10 minutes of wearing them I need Advil....what's up with that??? I found some flat ones at Globo. And I shopped in them all afternoon, so they will do just fine. They look really cute with my new skirts too.

I "dry" cleaned at church this morning. A water main broke on the next street over, where they are laying a sewer line under the road, so we had no water. To install a sewer they remove all the pavement from the street surface, dig down about 8 to 10 feet and install the pipe, feed it into the main artery and that connects to the pumping station down the road. Of course there are many other pipes and things down there.....natural gas, water...etc. So much for having the public utilities company come out and do a locate. You can hardly bury a pet around here without having to "call before you dig". If it's not the phone lines careening across the parking lot it's something else around that place!!

The boys had fun at Cadets, Joe is now horizontal and Craig is on the ice across town. Ray is watching, and reading the newspaper when Craig is on the bench. I hope he doesn't get much time to read. :) I am reading a Ted Dekker book, which I will resume reading when I'm done writing.

Tomorrow I am going to the scrapbook store. I have to get some supplies for my demo at the school Scrap and Stamp night. Only $10 to get in!!!! 7 til midnight! I'm so excited!! You can all come because there's lots of room....November 9. And if you want to sleep over....I have lots of room and if I run out then I can book you a room at my friend Winnie's bed and breakfast! 3 bedrooms!!!! I have a gift certificate at the scrapbooking store too! Hope they got some new stuff since the last time I was in....that was before school started. Maybe some fun Christmas thingies. I am also going with a friend in a car rally. It's a fundraiser for her dad's church so the more the merrier. Then I have to finish cleaning up at church... I hope the Cadets leave it VERY, VERY tidy, they're going to make birdhouses! Yippee!! I love birdhouses. Oops...I hope that wasn't supposed to be a surprise.... Joe's not very good at keeping secrets, so we never tell him anything. Craig knows things that he will take to the grave. He's very good at keeping things in confidence. While we're on the subject, I am tooooo good at guessing secrets , especially guessing presents. I ALWAYS find them or guess them. I HATE finding them or guessing them....because I LOVE surprises so much. I'd rather have NO clue than have to pretend. Ray tries really hard to keep things under wraps and he can't believe, that I can guess from the tiniest fragment of a clue left lying around. One year he hid it in his hockey bag, thinking I'd never go in there...but you know my love for laundry!...I went fishing for his jersey, so I could fill up my load of darks and there was my present! How random is that!!!

The laundry room/sport locker is fully functional again....except that Ray noted there is now no room for HIS hockey equipment. Whoops...slight miscalculation on my part. I mentioned that perhaps he should create another hockey tree since that takes up less floor space that a hockey bag, which is the size of the trunk of a Focus. Imagine three trunkloads of hockey equipment to wade through everytime you have to do a load of laundry.....welcome to MY world. Now the hockey trees are on one side of the clothes line, out the work triangle of the laundry area. Nothing to step over or elbow out of the way.

Alas that is it for today....I did want to share with you what fun it was to cook with hamburger again today after abstaining for at least a week. We had chicken fries twice in that span, and roast twice...but we had our break. I made spaghetti. I wonder what everyone else ate today?

Have a great weekend.....
