Whatever goes

So tonight I just want to post but I have no game plan...

So I'll just write about my week. One sure sign that I am a survivor is that on February 28th was the fourth anniversary of my present employment! YAY for me!

On Wednesday I visited Target to see what their big close out sale was....In case you are living under a rock...Target Canada is closing ALL of its stores in the next month or so....I could have predicted that at least 6 months ago but I love Target and I hoped they would succeed in Canada but they didn't for assorted reasons...

I am sure that this HUGE FAILURE will make the textbooks for business students.

                           
                                        Sorry mannequins  looking lonely

                              At least the 20% off Easter candy was a good deal! The thing is they advertise 40% but the only things that was 40% off were DVDs....
Ok Target you are moving out, you are probably sore about this failure but you neer wanted to hear what consumers had to say.....So GOOD RIDDENS WE WILL BE SPENDING OUR MONEY AT WALMART!!!

And believe it or not it pained me to write that. Because I am not a fan of Walmart either but I have to give them props because  they have been in business in Canada for 20 years now and Target lasted not even 2.


I walked in front of my fave Portugal bakery....It has been closed for about 1 year....and for some strange reason they didn't bother to remove the cakes from the windows...

The cakes are looking crusty and the Barbie is looking lonely!

On the homefront the bathroom will be finished tomorrow.

We have been here 20 years and never painted the washer & dryer space!

This was long overdue!

And I have been packing boxes...Seems some Pyrex is going in storage!

I am a HUGE Leonard Nimoy fan and I just want to wish all of you:

Live Long and Prosper

   

Here it is!

At last! the pictures from the ashtray!

First pic, is the ashtray with the maple syrup....Amber syrup (I don't buy the clear-too wimpy for me...)

Second a close-up of the delightfully kitsch ashtray!

I tell you this one is staying right here in the living so I can look at it ad nauseam!

last pic: The stamp underneath. Now I haven't done any web search on it yet, so I don't know this company. But thank you for making that beautiful ashtray! And for 2 dollars! WOW!!!


Last night was movie night and in my pursuit of blockbusters we saw Star Trek! Now that was a fun ride!!!

I was a big fan of the original TV series and the movie brought all kinds of memories. The casting is spot on! Of course Chris Pine is a great Kirk and Zachary Quinto a super Spock but Carl Urban as Bones...WOW I thought it was Bones but younger!
Good times!
Upset for the night: Gilles didn't win DWTS! Ok I'm booing now! BIG TIME! Ok course I am not objective lol! I feel he should've won, but the American public decided diffently! Keep on dancing Gilles, you dance beautifully! And I didn't watch the first part of the AI finale!
I'll hunt for some clips in the net....I gotta prepare for my Wednesday hunt at the church basement. Later!

Pride!

I didn't have a related pic, so why not post one of my extensive (lol) Pyrex collection?

I feel very,very proud of myself! Not only did I remove ALL the leaves in the pool, but also the pool's winter cover. It is very heavy and ususally requires 2 pairs of hands. And it is soooo messy! I ended up wet and smelly.What exactly breeds in the pool in the spring? EEEWWW!

I was so much in the zone that I put the cover on the clothesline and rinsed it. While it was drying, I turned the earth in the bean patch and planted some perrenials! Ouf! Where did all that energy come from???

I didn't watch Tv at all! In the late afternoon I folded the cover and put it away in the shed (this is quite an achievement, 'coz ususally I let it hang out outside forever!!!).

I really enjoyed Wolverine a lot and the sandwich too! I really like Hugh Jackman, he looks like such a good person (and being a nice piece of eye candy isn't bad either!)! I love action sci-fi movies and I have a lot of movies to see in May! Next week it will be Star Trek...

I need to prepare for the church basement!
