I've been down with a slight flu for the past few days & I realised that I always find time to have a cuppa whenever I'm sick... It's rather soothing & stops the runny sniffles just long enough to enable me to inhale from my nose again.I do enjoy a sip of Earl Grey & English Breakfast Teas, however, I don't understand why they have different names when each tastes remarkably like the other!! Perhaps enjoying it when I have got my sense of smell & taste back would do the trick? ~duh~ I shall make a mental note of it, or better still, I shall put it on my To Do List as a reminder.
Last nite was Late Night Shopping & Kris had to get something for my Mitsubishi Colt. He got me that in Dec 2003 hoping that I would get my driving license & has been working on it since then - tweaking, updating, changing and whatever else he deems should be done to that rust-bucket. Incredibly, it's no longer a rust-bucket now that he's done major works on it.
He's changed the engine so that I could have air-conditioning, especially for summer. He's changed the dashboard so that the AC & heater could work proper. He's got new seats & sheep-skin wool covers over them. He got a mirror for the left door & it took him about a year to finally find one at the carwrecks nearby - most Colts don't come with it. He fixed the locks, the window-winders, the doors!! He's even put in legal tinted windows. ~sheesh~ Maybe I should get my license soon, eh? Errrrr... u think? ~duh~
Well, while he was in MALZ, I went into Millers in Makro next door & got myself a pair of blue denim shorts just to wear around the house & a pair of beige denim capri, finally. I was actually looking for a blue cotton capri & a black one, but the only ones available are ugly box-cuts & the kinda cotton which would attract dust wherever u go! But I'm glad with my buys. May go to Crossroads another day.
Kris whisked me out of there & got us to Spotlight on the next street. We've only got 15mins to shop-closing. While looking for the yarns & needles, I fell in love with another type of yarn. It's called Scandal!! Thought it was $4.75/ball, but only paid a bargain $2.49 instead. It's pink, salmon & light yellow. I can't wait to get my hands on it, but I wanna finish the blue one & it's on the last bits!! WoO-hOo!!
Anyway, we both agreed that we can't shop in there for less than 1hr at least. So, we'll be coming back again!! And I so do want to try the new Tufty yarns - they are the ones that actually cost $4.75/ball... There are so many types of new yarns & new colours coming out, especially now that autumn is days away, and I'm spoilt for choice! I may do Ezzy's in those black yarn with little balls (it wouldn't look too girlish, Ezzy) instead of Patons black feathers & Ling's in pink Tufty instead of pink flutters. Oh, this is so exciting!!
That reminds me... I need to get #10 & #13 needles for those scarves with ginormous holes. I think I'm gonna give Tasha a very bohemian brown/red pair with the yarn that looks like tiny bottle-brushes. It's so soft though... Then again, since I'm making a bohemian-style one, perhaps I should get her a furry mohair yarn instead.... hmmmmm...
Ok, I'd better be getting back to my job search. Found a few, but they all look sucky!! Oh well, beggars can't be choosy!! And I need to write a couple of resumes for the 2 job offers that Kris found online for me!! After all the trouble he's gone through!! Wish me good luck, kiddos...
