Going through my bathroom cabinet last night I came to the conclusion that my dental supplies need a serious overhaul. My toothbrush would be better suited to cleaning the grout between my tiles rather than my teeth. My toothpaste was a sticky mess of gloop. My dental tape, well that was non existent. I also discovered 5 near empty hair wax tubs. Why?? Also found 11 bottles of anti dandruff shampoo and 9 packets of sugar free gum. I have got to stop hoarding.
Is it me or does anyone else worry about false advertising? Like when a jacket is waterproof or when a beaker is leakproof? I had my doubts about a phone my brother in law had, that he bought under the pretence of it being shock resistant and almost unbreakable. My doubts weren’t unfounded as it turned out! I’m not typically sceptical or anything but I’d be afraid to test out underwater cameras for fear of a similar fate to my brother in law’s phone!
Now I’m no prude and I’m all about free expression etc but there has to be a time and a place for wearing certain things and work ISN’T a place for what I saw on a guy in the mail room today. fishnet tops shouldn’t be worn to work by men or women. In fact, they shouldn’t be worn at all! Not in public anyway. Except, perhaps, to a fancy dress party. Or to certain types of club if you catch my drift…
I don’t know how many times today I meant to get an rv insurance quote. Several times I attempted to do it and then I got side tracked and something else got in the way. Every time I began the process, either the phone rang or someone arrived at my office or the ‘ping’ of a new email sounded. It was such a hectic day. the end of the day can’t get here quick enough; I’m exhausted!
I think it’s fair to say that we don’t have summers like we used too… And our winters are becoming more extreme. I’m not a fan of the cold – I’m more of a sun worshipper. So I was delighted to make a cosy purchase for myself this weekend that has helped ease me into the thought of long, cold winter nights. My purchase? A heated mattress pad. It’ll keep me warm and might even entice me to head to bed early every night to catch up on my much needed beauty sleep.
“I need some allergy treatment austin” shouted Lisa. She was having a serious reaction this time. It was more serious than it usually was. She had no idea what had caused it and the stress of not knowing was, she thought, making her condition even worse. Austin didn’t really care. He was having too much of a good time in the den where he was watching the highlights of the latest game!
I’ve always had an interest in horses and finally decided that I wanted to take horse riding lessons. I researched stables in my area that catered for the older newbie, ie me, and found one not too far away. My research went a little askew and I started looking at all things horsey and before I knew it I was in the process of purchasing english horse tack!
When I left a job a few years ago, the team I worked with pooled together and bought me an ipod touch nano. It was a really lovely present I thought. Got me thinking about other presents I’d received from colleagues after leaving various jobs over the years. I think the worst present I got was a mug with a picture of my then boss on it. Sadly, it got broken very soon after being presented to me…
A friend of mine lost her job some time back but rather than feel sorry for herself, she decided to be proactive and use her creative talents to bring in some extra cash. She started off making baby shower invitations and wedding invitations and such like. Things have gone from strength to strength for her and she’s getting busier every week. I’m so pleased for her. it just goes to show that if you have the get up and go, anything is possible.
The POS system in our local shop went belly up just as I got to the counter yesterday. Typical! I wouldn’t mind but I’d queued for ages and was getting pretty agitated at the guy in front of me who was talking too loudly on his cell, and the girl in front of him who kept biting her nails and the old dear in front of her who counted out all the loose change in her purse before realizing she didn’t have enough money in change to pay for her messages. All I wanted was my beer and chips; wasn’t too much to ask for!
