It's Friday again

What do you all have planned for the weekend? Mom and i are booking our trip tomorrow morning (yay! let the countdown begin!) I was tentatively going to a Corrie thing in Pictou/Stellarton but i think i'd rather not. It seems like it might snow a little and if it does, it will likely be heavier up that way so i think i'll just stay home and not take the chance.

Did i mention that gramie_dee gave me a box set of the series Cold Feet for Christmas? I'm still working my way through that. We thought it had got lost in the mail so Amazon sent a replacement order and of course, the day after he ordered it, the original one arrived. He couldn't cancel it in time, they'd already sent out the replacement but had said that if the original one came, to keep the replacement with their compliments. So what to do with a second box set of Region 2 dvds? Well i found a hack code for mom's portable dvd player that seems to have worked so i'm giving the set to her. I think she might have to have the subtitles on though lol the accent is a bit strong with a couple of the characters, particularly "Jenny" and "Pete".

Now for the Friday Five...

1. What do you need?
Family, friends, love, and a win on the lottery wouldn't be too much to ask would it?

2. What won't you share?
I'll share most things if you ask nicely enough.

3. What do you hurry through?
Housework.

4. Who is worth waiting for?
gramie_dee. You gotta be willing to wait in a long distance relationship. They have to be worth it. And he is.

5. Friday fill-in:
I can't bear to ______.
wait in long lines.

(no subject)

Decided to get my eyebrows waxed on the way home today. I mean, i decided before, but i got it done on the way home. I had done that before i went away in November and was quite pleased with the results. I think i might start doing that more, every 2 or 3 weeks. The only downside is having to go around with shaggy brows to get enough regrowth but wearing glasses does hide a bit of it. It's only 10 dollars every, say, 3 weeks. I can spend that much on lunch so if i take my lunch more often as i have been lately, i'm more than saving that. I will need to get another pedicure before we go away too. It's my little trip tradition.

Today is the 2 year anniversary of Dad's death and as i was standing in the bus shelter trying to keep out of the rain, i thought, gee, i thought i might have found an errant dime today. I must look around and i looked down and caught a glint of silver at my feet. But.... it was only a nickel! Didn't half make me do a double take though! That's ok, i bought a lottery ticket for tonight's draw. Boom! A thousand dollars! (that's what he used to say when the lotteries first started. Obviously it's up to a million or more now lol)
