Saturday

I took today off from the regular routine, slept in AND LOVE IT! Oh, yes, this is how it feels to be relaxed. I had forgotten. What's been going on? Well, I got sick again which sucks beyond belief. That's why I opted to stay home today, to try & get back on track. The cough is still going but not as bad as yesterday. I got out of bed after 10 - 10! I am watching So You Think You Can Dance, despite the fact that I didn't want to start watching until the bloopers were over. It's just been on all week so it seemed unavoidable. As for my own dancing, I think the pole dancing (did I tell you I am taking a pole dancing/exercise class?) is not for me. My bad knee just can't take it. It's been sore all week, and the week before. I am thinking of bailing. Normally I would stick it out but I don't want to jeopardize my Superstar Bellydancing career potential. I guess we'll see. On the home front, my short stint with a working dishwasher has been shot to hell. It won't drain & spits out all of the soap. Frickin' awesome. Oh, yeah, and my cordless phone buttons are shot. It takes 10 seconds of painful pushing on the "8", "6" and some of the other numbers to dial. I want to throw it against the wall. It's time to get a new phone I guess. I am cheap though so maybe not this week. That's about it folks. Till next time!

Finally - a long weekend! Woo hoo!

I am so glad to have 3 days off, in a row. It's wonderful. Also, my dishwasher seems to be working again. Apparently jiggling the spinner thing around can actually fix it, at least temporarily. Who knew. I am hoping to clean my house thoroughly but do have some more social things planned. Zoo on Saturday, game night Sunday. I also MUST go bra shopping. My main bra broke, my back-up bra broke, so it's been the sports bra which smooshes them a bit. I can't live like this! I must have proper support. On a less personal note, it's also super sunny & warm here so I should do some patio clean-up. It still has the white trash look right now - meaning two vacuums, ply wood, particle board, bits of cement block, a broken garbage can doesn't look nice in my neighbourhood. Unfortunately, there's a good chance I may waste my time playing video games. I guess we'll see.
T.V. talk: The Office season finale & Lost this week - holy crap! And, wow - holy crap! You know? The Office had some really funny moments, as usual, and Ryan the jerk got...well, if you haven't seen it I won't spoil it. Lost was just crazy - why the lies? That's all I will say.

Getting busy

Overtime has started so I don't have much spare time. Today was relaxing though, I even slept in till 10:30 which is a miracle. I did go to see Iron Man Friday which was awesome. Great cast - Robert Downey Jr. is awesome. He is AMAZING at cheek. And, the Iron Man suits were really cool. Going to the local theatre on a weekend though is really irritating. Adolescents everywhere acting stupid. I felt like I was at the mall. Luckily our theatre was full of comic geeks so they actually shut up when the movie started. I went to Tim Hortons yesterday and it was the mall plus - young girls with babies, creepy old guys, adolescents, kids dressing like teenagers...I wanted to scream. Good danish, bad atmosphere. I will never go inside again - strictly the drive-thru from now on. If people want to be idiots that's their prerogative but I really can't handle watching it. Back to work tomorrow. Great.
ps: I just learned that I have been spelling "prerogative" incorrectly for my whole life - not that I get to use that word much but I am embarrassed.
