Witch's tits

I dunno. The saying goes "It's colder than a witch's tit". I've never been near a witch that I know of, and nor would I entertain the thought of touching a witch's tit, so I'll never know how cold that really is. But one thing I do know, is it's freakin' freezing cold outside here today! After almost a full week in my jammies, I put on some real clothes today and trekked out to get some much needed groceries in this house. I was blown away (almost literally!) at how cold it was out there! There's a strong and very nasty bitter cold north wind blowing. Needless to say it was a royal pita loading groceries into the trunk of the car, with that strong wind relentlessly fighting to blow the hood of the trunk down on my head! I just hope going out in that crap doesn't have any side effects on this nasty cold I've been down with. I'm sick of being sick!

oh c'mon Mr. Blogger! Fix the damn spell check already, will ya?!

The borrowed suitcase...

Yep, I did it real good this time. I went out west with one large suitcase and a carry-on. My suitcase wasn't even really full when I went, knowing full well that I'd be doing some shopping. And shopping I did. Well, that and my sister did give me a couple bulkier items, like a really cute cherry themed rug for in front of my kitchen sink, and the softest most snuggliest micro-fibre kind of furry fleecy blanket that she had on the bed I was sleeping in!

Needless to say, I ended up borrowing another large suitcase from my other sister to get all my goods home. Her suitcase was completely full, and I'm talking there was not room for one more thing, not even the smallest of item in that case! And it was real heavy too, seeing as we had made a trek into a little second hand store where I bought, all things some books for my husband. I couldn't resist! They were cheap, cheap, cheap, and he reads in warp speed! I got him this one large and quite thick hardcover book too that was all about different journeys around the world. Right up his alley too, since it's more about journeys that most people wouldn't go on. You know, things like snow-shoeing in Russia, or trekking with some Sherpas in Tibet. Not a journey to some sunny hot and tropical five star resort in the Caribbean, or the Mediterranean. He loved it, and took it up to the cottage with him when he went.

Anyway, I ended up okay at the airport. My luggage came in just under the maximum weight, and both pieces fortunately made the trip home without any casualties, which is always a bonus!

A new love in my life!

Michaels came to town! Finally! Our city has gone big time in my books, now that we have a real live craft store to shop at! They opened the doors last Thursday, and today on my lunch hour I took a quick spin in, and managed to drop a few bucks too. But I got bargains! I picked up a rubber stamp that I had been wanting for awhile and got 40% off! And I snagged a couple balls of funky yarn to whip up a cool scarf. They were on sale for $2.00 each.

My husband will be sad though, because I have a new man in my life now... Michael(s)!!
