Buzz about THE Wedding

-

So...its now the afternoon. I went downtown. Ran into Heather, she was down there with her Mom and sister. Heather was doing some banking, her sister Beth was going to buy a dress for a wedding she's attending. I asked her if it was the Royal Wedding. We started talking about that. I know that there is something going on at one of the clubs in Copper Cliff...you get to watch a big screen version of the wedding, and I believe you eat too. Anyway, it costs $45. But Beth was saying that Cambrian College had an event going on also. Cambrian's Wedding Event features (I'm sure) a big screen TV, and the viewing will be live..in other words, held at 3 o'clock in the morning. People have been instructed to dress up, and wear hats. She didn't know how much it cost. I would love to go to something like this, but I hesitate to go out at 3 in the morning, not to mention the cost. On the other hand...one would be seeing it live. Never has there been so much hype about a wedding. Just those two events I mentioned show you some of it. I imagine that when Chuck and Di got hitched there was quite a bit of hype too, but now with the computer age it's unbelievable. Kate has supposedly commissioned 3 wedding dresses from different designers, and will have about six hairdressers to do up her locks. I haven't heard anything about make up or jewelry, other than I think she's wearing a tiara from someone...??? The Royalty line, of course. BTW, did you hear that Prince William doesn't intend to wear a wedding ring? And I've also heard that he has invited ALL of his ex girlfriends to the wedding. Who knew he even had ex women, he's been with Kate forever. Speaking of Kate (after April 29th known as Princess Catherine), I feel she's a very strong woman. I can't see her folding the way Lady DI did, if Will decides to take a mistress. Or two. I bought a few things downtown. Shoelaces for one. If these ones don't stay tied, I'm going to cut them off, so they don't flop around and come untied anymore. I don't use them anyway, once they're firmly positioned. I also bought tooth picks and dollar store barber scissors. These will be used whenever I get around to doing my doll modifications. Alas, I couldn't find any fax eyelashes in the store. So...how about watching the wedding live at 3 in the morning? My place...what say? If not at 3, then what about another time...I don't know when they'd show it again, but it will run often, at least for a while. I will probably buy a DVD of said wedding anyway. I think its time I bought myself another DVD player. Caio Kids SL

Life in Weymouth Installment # 2

.. ..thought I'd better write before the withdrawals get worse. I've been out doing the yard sales today. Stopped at a house, used to be owned by a lady named Penkala or something like that, who died. Her kid put it up for sale...asking way to much, at least at that time, but the new owner got it for $90,000. I guess the daughter got tired of paying the taxes on it (after 9 years) so she brought her price down. The new owner told me she got it for $90,000...people here are quite effusive when talking about what kind of deals they got. Of course I had mentioned to her that I'd loved the house, but being indecisive about my life in general and my living arrangements in particular, I couldn't do it at the time. The taxes on the thing were pretty high. Anyway, from her I bought a box of stuff for $1.00. Yes, $1.00. It was full of goodies. What I didn't like, Mom did. I kept some big plastic (and old) things that look like candles, but they are lit with electric bulbs. I...

Noise Rant

Hmmm...Is life getting more annoying, or am I just getting testier? Last night I drove over to Chapters to pick up a couple of books. The topic I was interested in, was Hoarding. I went to the Chapters computer and punched in a partial title of one I wanted, and sure enough, it said they had two in stock. Two in the "Well Being" section. So, over I trogged to said section. Only they don't have a section called directly by that name. But they do have a Sexual Health section, a Woman's Health section, and Ailments and Conditions section, an extended Self Help section, and also Addiction and Recovery sections. Oh yeah, and some sort of Psychological shit was in there too. I mean, this Well Being Area (I presumed it was the Well Being area, but then who could be sure) was fairly large. I started to look for my book. I found it increasingly frustrating. See, not only is there a mile or so of books to look through, but they had noise going on in the background. Loud noise. ...

Saving - Reusing - Recycling

What gets saved down here?  You name it, somebody is saving it. Stamps...Not sure where these go...ask Mom.  To the doctors office for some reason? eye glasses - to the local docs office to send to some foreign country or something like that. receipts from Valu Foods - these go to someone in the Anglican church, and I think after you have $1000 dollars worth of the things, "they" get one dollar off something.  Vague enough for ya? One can donate to local charities or people having yard sales for benevolent purposes.  Then you can buy the stuff  back, and donate them yet again.  It's kind of a continuing circle. Clothing of course, gets recycled.  It is either given to someone else, (could be another person or a charity), or sold in a yard sale on or Facebook or Kijiji (see horribly high prices for something purchased from Frenchys for a pittance.)  If totally unwearable, it is cut into rags.   Used by ...
