Singular Scene

So Singular in Each Particular

I Totally Lied

by

Well, the scammed scanning was all over by 11 – My babysitting job got canceled this afternoon so I went out … quite against my plans to do so.

I returned books (5) to the libraries (2) and got more (4).
I spontaneously decided to go to the movies and saw Connie and Carla – loved it. (It’s ok… I know that I am a tragic loser who loves show tunes and romantic happy endings and I’m ok with that.)

I now need to decide what to do with my evening.

I think I will go to church. The meeting goes from 6-7.30 and is therefore the shortest meeting of the week except the prayer meeting. Our Pastor is back from 3 weeks overseas and so will be on fire. I love a good homecoming message and if I go tonight, I don’t feel compelled to go tomorrow morning so I can sleep in.
It has been a few weeks since I have been to church and to be honest, I am in that, if I don’t go this week it will be even harder to get back into it next week… I guess spending all week there makes the weekends extra precious…

Anyway, I will probably go and put paid to the internal argument. Of course if I drink another beer before I go I will be in trouble. I can imagine the little police type person at the random breath testing asking me where I am going … Can you hear him?? “What???? You’re going there??? In that state??? Hmmm probably best place for you love …”

Happiness, Peace and Joy

by

It’s the weekend and I am happy … Yep, two whole days filled with whatever I want to do. Couldn’t be more ecstatic… Well, I could actually, but I don’t expect to be!!!

The end of the week has been gratifying. I have been working on fixing up the website for my alma mater. The college I studied at is part of the outfit I work for and they have been getting left behind in cyber space. I have been fooling around with html and image editing to knock it into shape. It has been great fun and a creative escape from my usual administrative merry go round. Should be ready to upload next week, very nice to have something concrete to show for my hours buried in the basement at work!!

As for tomorrow, I have scammed a scanner from the office (shhhhh) and plan to get all my favourite photos into digital format so I have plenty of fodder for my flog. Heaven on a stick… (except it isnt on a stick at all actually, more like a table…) So if you see someone out and about tomorrow, it won’t be me … Nope .. home all day …

Actually I will have to leave the house tomorrow. I will be sitting on babies tomorrow night… actually not babies at all, in fact 3 rather fun children aged from 7-12. 2 girls and one little boy who has asked me to marry him… hasn’t that 7 year old got a thing or two to teach the grown up boys!!! Cable TV, a washing machine that works (mine doesn’t) and money for having a good time and watching telly… Baby, I’ve got it made!

Don’t expect me up before 9 tomorrow, the earplugs are going in and the electric blanket is on…

*Lights out*

Will It Ever End?

by

I mean, the week – not the Olympics… Really!

I think my favourite web page ever is the administration page for this here blog, a web page no one ever gets to see… Isn’t that bizarre? It’s the little flags that appeal to me, even though I’ve not seen one of those apparently impressive UAE flags (refer to Wibboards) just the prospect of opening the page and having been read on another continent, another nation is just too good!!!

However, I do think it the flags could be improved perhaps by the pomp and ceremony of a round of the appropriate natinonal anthem when a new flag appears. This would not only be of entertainment value but of legitimate educational value as well. (You would be correct in assuming that such an idea has been inspired by the Olympics.)

Pleased to report the Tall Blacks (NZ Basketballers) beat the world No 1’s today… Would never have believed it to be possible –

NZ Olympic medal Tally – G-0 S-0 B-0

Sitting on babies tonight, fortunately, no nappies (James, I don’t sit for the under 3’s any more) Nice to add a bit of dosh to the wallet… Could be a very late night, hopefully they have cable, I mean, I can’t watch the Olympics all night, Thursday TV in Sydney is pretty light on…

Suppose I should get dressed ready to go…

The Final Countdown

by

Ok, so Final is a bit …well … final, but it is the end of the day countdown…

My top 10 about the end of the day.

1. A whole evening stretches out before me, like a blank page waiting to be written.
2. The Olympics are on so I don’t feel as though I am wasting the evening by sitting in front of the TV (even if I do sneak a peek at CSI).
3. It is a good 16 hours before I have to be back at work.
4. Lots of lovely people will have updated their blogs for me to read before I turn out the light.
5. At some point I get to climb into bed.
6. I will probably go to sleep (hopefully before 3am, when I finally conked out last night)
7. I can create lots of lovely stuff in the kitchen.
8. I get to eat it.
9. Bliss will be home to talk to, unless she’s asleep (night shift again).
10. I can have a glass of Shiraz and not get told off for drinking on the job. (At this point I am assuming, I don’t know about the on the job stuff from experience or anything…)

Right, 12 minutes to go, what else can I do before I clock off…
