Wasn't someone supposed to STOP me from buying a bunch of stuff I don't need? Technically I don't need it but still . . .
So this weekend I go shopping. I needed to pick up pop and get a new pair of tennis shoes. What happened? Well, I saw an ad in the paper for the Old Tyme pottery store and they had some glass that I thought would make good oil lamps.
Of course, I go over there and it's right next to the fabric store so I go in. Bad, bad move. They had Simplicity patterns for $2. Yeah, stuff that's usually like $14 was $2. I wanted to go berserk and I TRIED to go berserk but the gods smiled upon me and only three of the patterns I wanted were in stock. Whew! That was a close one!
Then I walk over to Olde Tyme Pottery. They are having a sale. On exactly the same sort of medieval oil lamps that we saw in class. They are calling them "hanging vases". Whatevah! They're oil lamps! I bought 4 of them! Our campsite is going to be so totally awesome with all of the oil lamps! Every one will be pea green with envy!
I have 6 of them burning now. They are GREAT! They are warm, bright and give off a nice smell (I burn olive oil in them. You can burn vegetable oil, too, but it doesn't last as long or smell as good.) And, since they are olive oil, if you knock them over they won't ignite like a kerosene lamp will.
This week I'm in the motherland for work. Picked up more fags and rum. Good Lord, I probably keep Dick's Liquor in business. *sigh*. Mom's like - "bring more fags back! As many cartons as you can buy! Buy two cartons every day!" Dayum, woman! What's in it for me? Do I get some rum outta this? Some beer at least!
Today was sign in day for this work seminar. I met two of the dudes I used to work with and talked to them for a while. Then, in my one class I ended up next to one of the engineers that I had/have a "thing" for. We flirt shamelessly. I mean SHAMELESSLY. Ah, he's married with two kids. heh. It's probably a good thing, tho. He has the most wicked sense of humor. We just sort of "click" in that way.
I'm sure I'll run into a few more of the guys I used to work with this week. That's always interesting. And it will give me the opportunity to see if there are any openings I can move into. Why not?
