Sunday Snippets

Rebel seems to think my car is for sharing. She was not happy when I suggested otherwise. I think I was just un-invited to one of her two birthday dinners. The girl does give good attitude. I just wish she could re-direct it to her idiot BF, who had the gall to ask me to move my car so he could park his precious Mustang in my driveway. I said no. That was fun.

Marking is nearly done. I haven't decided if I will teach again next year. It's a lot of work, for not really enough money, but it is fun.

XSU was sick this week, and didn't get to the bank to drop some cash on Reb Junior in France. If he had told me I could have topped up earlier than I did. She's in Paris this week. Then it will be three weeks and she's home pending volcanic ash clouds over Europe.

I seem to have developed an insatiable craving for sushi. Particularly salmon pizza sushi.
I've had it three times this week. That's right - every day since I've come home. Thank goodness all three times it was different people at the restaurant and so my fix is not quite noticeable to any but me - so far.

Best Buy has a trade in your old tv for a new. They don't make it easy though. I have to get one monster tv, one small tv and a computer monitor into the store all at the same time AND buy my new tv that day. I need a friend with a truck to help me get the stuff over there. AND I need to get the research done and pick a tv. The consumer reports on tvs - plasma, LED, HD etc etc is all too much for my middle aged addled non techie brain. I might just go in and blind fold myself and say I pick YOU! as long as you're under $1300.00 because I will also need the blu ray player, the brackets for the wall mount and the sound system too.

I learned why I can't start an annulment until after the divorce. The church wants to ensure all the "legal" stuff is done. They don't want to hand out annulments only to find out that legally people are still married. So the deal is - get the legal stuff out of the way then we can talk, because in the secular world legal is what counts on paper. Makes sense. Though I am not in a big rush deal to get the divorce thing done. I have decided to let the XSU handle that one. Let him pay for it and hand me over the paperwork to sign.

While at home the girls went out for dinner and we're thinking of handing out west to BC to visit yet another one of our girls. We spent our 40th birthdays together and had such a great time on Salt Spring Island we want to do it again. We may get together this summer or perhaps in early Fall.

Our high school is having a big 50 aniversary party next year and we're talking about that too. Time to get in shape for that. I was very surprised while visiting my brother and sister in law to learn that my SIL has had "work" done. Nothing big... but those needles that fill the lines in your face and a little botox for the frown lines. While I HATE needles she nearly had me convinced to head right over. But I have to deal with my tooth first. Bone graft for the implant on one, and then perhaps I can think about plumping up the cheeks. Being a cougar is gonna take some work and even more money!
