Ok, so maybe it’s Thursday for the rest of you, but I have tomorrow off work, so this is my Friday! I need it too. I got to sleep after 2am this morning, and I got up at 7 to drop Rob off at work so I could take the car. I went to the gym, then drove Mom to work, then I went to pick up Gran to bring her grocery shopping. Then I had lunch at Gran & Gramp’s, and then I went to Bulk Barn to pick up a couple of things I needed to make Rob some coconut bon bons. I did all that before 12 noon. Then I made some bon bons. I only made a dozen or so, as they didn’t turn out quite as perfect as I would have liked. So, I rolled the rest of the fillings into balls and stuck them in the fridge, so they’ll be plenty firm for me to finish tomorrow.
Tomorrow on my day off I plan to make bon bons, then lay in my hammock and eat them. Oh glorious day. Oh wait…..I have to put the hammock together first. That defeats the purpose. I have no idea what the weather is supposed to be like tomorrow either. I bet it will rain. Oh well, I have plenty to do in the house too. I think I need to sit down and do a little sewing, as I’m going through withdrawl. I’ve got to get snapping on making more doll clothes too, because a girl on a Blythe forum sent me a load of cute fabric for free, I just have to make her some clothes and send them back to her. Sweet deal. I adore making doll clothes. I’ve got some in progress too that I’ll be selling in my shop. Speaking of sewing, I don’t think I mentioned that Christmas is going to come early to me this year. Rob is letting me get a serger (aka an interlock machine). That’s so exciting.It will come in so handy. I can’t wait until I have a huge craft room that I can set up my sewing machine and my serger and leave them set up. So, my serger is on layaway at Singer. There’s no interest, and no deadline to pay it off. So, I’m taking all my Etsy earnings and using them to pay off the machine. Plus, I may make some payments on pay days too. It’s so exciting.

Rob and I recently watched Oceans 11 and Oceans 12. Rob loves those movies, and I must say, I really loved them too. So much that when Rob asked me what movie I’d like to see this weekend, I chose Oceans 13 over Pirates of the Carribean. Too bad Oceans 13 isn’t out until next weekend. Oh well, we’ll just have to go to movies both weekends! We don’t go to the movies enough, so we deserve it.

I’ve been totally addicted to playing “Mario & Luigi – Partners in Time” for the DS since I borrowed it from Bucky a few weeks ago. He wasn’t too big on the game, but I love it. It’s M&L, but an RPG too. FF-type fights. It was pretty cool. I’ve played it pretty frequently, putting in over 30 hours, and last night I finally finished the game. I had to try the final 2 bosses a couple of times, but I figured out a good stratedgy, and finally kicked some booty. I can’t believe I’m done. My only two complaints about the game was 1)It didn’t show the enemy hit points, and 2)It took waaaaay too long to beat the bosses. Even if you hit them with your best arsenal, and didn’t take any hits back, it took forever.
Now, I hope Bucky is bored of Diddy Kong racing, so I can borrow it. Or, maybe he’s bored with my Mario Cart, so I can play that!

Incase you haven’t already guessed, it’s not too busy at work this evening. I thought it would be crazy busy because yesterday was Memorial Day in the US. But, we’re not swamped with calls. It’s nice when we are because time passes so fast, but it’s also nice when it’s not, because I can sit back and relax. Yesterday was so dead here, and I didn’t bring anything to do at all. No book, no DS, nothing. Today I did bring my book, but for now I’m content to catch up on posts.

Apparantly this weekend we’re having a yard sale at our house. We have one every year, and my Grandmother loves having it at our place, I guess because we’re in such a central location. She’s been going on about one the past few weeks, so I figured since I have Friday off, that would give me tiem to get ready for a Saturday yardsale. I don’t have a whole lot to put in the sale yet, but I do have some things in mind, I’ve just gotta root through the kitchen, and I suppose a few other rooms too. Mom and I cleaned out the back room in the basement Saturday, and we filled a few boxes with yardsale stuff there. So, I suppose I have a few things. I don’t think I’ll be making any serious cash though – usually I make over $100 easily. This time I don’t think I’ll even have $100 worth of stuff to sell. I wonder if Rob’s got anything stashed in the basement that he’d want to get rid of. If I don’t remember to ask in person, hey Bert, go through your junk to see if there’s anything you want to get rid of eh?

We got the car back again this weekend. The altenator had gone in it this time, but it was still under warranty. Man, that car is becoming more of a burden than it’s worth. We’re thinking it’s time to get rid of her and look for a new one. We’d like to do that sometime soon, but right now our work schedules are totally opposite of each other, so no can do. Although, I do ahve Friday off, so maybe Friday after Rob gets off of work we’ll go look. We have a general idea of what we’d like (read Honda Fit), but we’re a little torn on that. Rob says there’s no way we’re buying brand new, becuase of the depreciation that happens as soon as you drive a new car off the lot. He wants something that’s a year or 2 old, like just came off a lease sort of thing. The problem with that is the Fit is new. It just came out last year, so there would be no leases finishing yet. Who knows though, maybe we’ll get lucky. Rob is a lucky kind of guy.

We went and got new cell phones this weekend. Roger’s plans are SO much better than Telus. Phones for the both of us are going to cost less combined per month than my Telus phone cost by itself. Frig. And, we have free text messaging, which is super handy right now because our schedules are all wonky while Rob settles into his new job. Rob got a phone with all the bells and whistles, but I just wanted the basic no-extras phone. I got a cheapy $20 one, but man, it still has a camera, mp3 capability, and even a video camera. A lot better than my cheapy telus one.

My sister Vanessa is the best! She felt so bad about me having to suffer through stupid hair that she went and got an even stupider haircut than mine!
*snicker*

I was thinking maybe I’d go home early from work today, since my head cold is still horrible, and I really had to force myself to come in, but here I am. Less than an hour and a half left. The DayQuil and Buckley’s are wearing off though, and I’m out of Ricola, so I’m in rough shape. I’m totally talking with no nose, so I sound like a dork. It’s pretty funny considering I workin a call center. Speaking of work, we have a new shift bid happeneing, and there are zero 4 days on 3 days off shifts. I don’t know what gives with that, because that’s the shift I most covet. I work 10 hour Mondays now, and an extra 2 horus a day 4 days a week would be nothing, but a 3rd day off would definately be something!

My head is currently floating on the ceiling. MMmm, medication. That for some reason makes me think of my stupid haircut. I don’t feel so bad about it anymore, since Vanessa dropped by a couple of days ago. Her hair is so funny. She has an old lady hiarcut! I at least have the excuse that I’m in the process of growing my hair out. *point*laugh* heh, what are sisters for?
