Fluff Friends

I have just created a URL for my Fluff Friend Ronan - one of my Facebook app addictions:

I'm trying to collect Pirate treasure at the moment so any help would be appreciated!

Sunshine

I have been busy, and slightly or more accurately EXTREMELY tired, but today I feel a bit better and have even started cleaning. I got a crap load of free alcohol this week which was great - on top of the sugary or salty treats provided occasionally at work I received a bottle of wine & a bag of left over beer after our work conference this past week. The wine was a thank you for my hard work at our awards dinner - blush, blush with a bit of squirming - this past summer and the bag of beer was just being at the right place at the right time. It was actually a funnish week, crazy busy but I had 2 whole days attending the conference meetings so that part was actually quite refreshing. It was also a blast hanging out with everyone and lots of laughter. We had a BBQ one evening and I finally got to eat steak and had a Drumstick with a caramel centre so that was a nice end to a ridiculous summer. I had 5 free meals in total this week - yippee!
After a few days of rain there's a bit of sunshine breaking through the clouds this afternoon so I feel refreshed and almost ready for another crazy work week. I finished Order of the Phoenix and have paid off my first loan in Animal Crossing. I am lazy but keep busy during my non-work hours nevertheless.

Another week

So, after much longing and a mild but growing obsession I allowed myself to purchase a Nintendo DS and Animal Crossing this payday. As usual with a purchase of anything over $20 I feel a bit of buyer's remorse but at the same time I am very excited and am happily fishing and bug catching once more. I really deserve to treat myself once in a while...right? Of course I do. So far I caught a Puffer Fish, a Sea Horse, a Monarch Butterfly, and more - all very exciting. This may sound lame to some of you, but it's actually really fun! I am still getting use to the new controls but it's going ok.
Clyde just pooped on the floor, lovely. I guess I should go clean that up. Later.

Tomorrow!

Yay! with some trepidation...

Tired

Not much has been going on. Works busy again & I've had to cut stickers...but I'm sure you don't care about that. I am now on Season 2 of X files & re-reading Goblet of Fire. I did watch the first show of the new 90210 show - at much pressuring from my dear friend Tracey, and partly cause I really wanted to see it - and it was pretty much the same crap, just in a thinner younger package. To be honest though I was entertained, though mildly ashamed about it. I also caught the season premier of Bones, in jolly old England. Booth (spelling? not a clue...) was a bit irritating though, was he that ridiculous last season? Not sure what's happening this week. So You Think You Can Dance Canada is starting soon but I need to find out exactly when.
On a personal note my dishwasher may be fixed soon! And, I went for Indian food yesterday and have to say that Saag Paneer (again, spelling? I think I'm at least close) is the sh&%.

Addendum

Oh, yes, in regards to the butter...I made Chicken schnitzel with veggies & toasted pita bread. I put just butter and salt on the veggies & brushed some oil on the pit and a bit of salt. Delicious! It's so nice to have time to cook my dinner again. Though the more I cook the more dishes there are to wash...

Butter

I have a stiff neck, literally not figuratively. All day at work people kept asking if I had a sore neck. "You look stiff...". Yes, thanks, do I normally look like this? Anyways, the Extra Strength Advil liqui caps are the sh%$ so I managed to survive. I actually had a fun weekend so perhaps this is punishment. I did my dishes Friday, which is great. Saturday was the Zoo & face-painting in the afternoon. My Zebras are getting pretty good. Someone asked for a specific species of Cockatoo - so they basically got a white bird. How can I draw what I have never even seen before? Then it was a friend's b-day party in the city. There was sushi, gyoza, and cupcakes so that pretty much made my week. Everyone was very friendly and easy to talk with so other than the occasional awkward pause things went smoothly and I had a nice time. The only downer was the drive home because there was a traffic jam due to a truck overturning on the side of the highway and I was stuck for about a 1/2 hour just before the Portman. 11:00 p.m. on a Saturday. Lame a$$. Needless to say I wish I had taken a cupcake for the road. I slept till after 11:00 on Sunday which is amazing and Clyde didn't even poop on the carpet. Then dinner at Linda's - chicken this time. Afterward I watched a really lame movie on the Women's network. Perhaps that's when the neck pain started. I don't know.
Since the Olympics area over - and I'm very proud of our Canadian athletes by the by! - I am now hoping I can get more done around my house, but will more likely just watch more crap T.V. I am on Disk 3 of Firefly but that won't take my longer. Since my payday is coming up I may try and get Season 1 of X-Files. If I can than I'll get the rest of them, up till Mulder leaves at least because I saw them on sale at Zellers, hopefully they're still there. That will be my next big purchase. I can't wait!
