What's on my mind

Friday, November 03, 2006

I had a meeting with Art Garfunkel today. Well, his hair twin, anyway. It was very distracting, because I found myself speaking to his hair. He needed a haircut very badly. But so do I and my hairdresser is away until November 14. Dilemma. Ponytails for a week and a half...

Th JWs won't shut up with their retarded comments from one of my posts this week. Go away! Please and thank you.

My house is in post-Halloween-traumatic-stress-syndrome and there are mice scampering in the attic again. Both of the showers in the house need some form of fixing. I need a handyman. Sorry, Mr. C, but it's true...yes, I know I know....

The commercialization of Christmas has begun in earnest and I am doing my best to not feel sucked into the black hole of shopomania that descends on North Americans the moment Halloween is over. I spent too much money in the early part of the fall, so Christmas shopping is just going to have to wait.

My son has a friend over and they are in the process of destroying the basement.

Calgon, anyone?...

   May I suggest taking some Halloween chocolate for yourself and making one of those fancy baths you and Chloe always talk about? ^_-

   yes Erikku is so right Cathy. Let them destroy the basement too.
   Who are the people who make bad comments? And what do they want from us?

   Eric and Chloe;
   I just finished a chocolate chip cookie from a batch I baked this afternoon, and I am about to get another and then head off to the tub....advice taken.
   
   As for the bad comment people...I still get comments on my seal hunt post; I was called a witch yesterday. I mentioned this to Mr. C and he said "well, it's a seasonally appropriate comment at least".
   
   Chloe;
   I am slowly getting over my jealousy; it make take some time, however. I want to be sitting in your living room being nosy and looking through all the books on your shelves. xoxo Kisses and Hugs to both you and Stephanie. How weird is it to be together?

   Forget Calgon....go to a spa!!! hehe Fine words for me to say, I've never been to a spa but I hear it's very relaxing to have people pamper you:-) I was at the mall yesterday and everything Christmas is up already...I have to really stop myself from buying everything, spent way too much money last Christmas by shopping so early!!

   Note about the JWs' Apparently they appeared on our doorstep and rang the bell. Mr Happy answered and they gave him the leaflet and left. According to him our JW representatives were a woman and a midget. Of course I inquired if it was a midget or a dwarf (as any good Office fan would) but he said he couldn't tell as he was wearing a trenchcoat. I'm just gutted that I missed that!
   
   We're decoarting a bathroom at the minute so the journey between here and Lowe's is well trodden (driven doesn't sound quite right somehow).

   I need some handy things done around here also. Last weekend, I called my SIL's dad, told him I would make them dinner but he had to bring his tools. Some of the odd jobs got down. Now if I could only afford to redo the entire house.

   While I agree totally about the hyper-commercialization of the holidays, I must admit I am about to leave the house to start my Christmas shopping this year.
   
   Or did I start with a present to myself (or perhaps to the rest of the family?) by buying plane tickets home for Christmas?
   
   Yes, some people can't let things go, and respect other's points of view because they are so wrapped up in their own. Funnily enough, these are the people who are supposed to be more tolerant of others, or do I miss understand something about the basis of Christianity ("Love thy neighbour")?
   
   Well, you are the meterologist, so I know you can weather the storm, Cathy. And aren't little things like these a nice distraction from the tempest of other parts of your life?
