I Don't Like Mondays

Week two and I'm already having to be reminded of my blogging commitment. Eventually I will get into a rhythm.

I had a bit of a day today. I had to go downtown to meet a work associate. I haven't adjusted my commuting schedule accordingly for the return of traffic so I'm habitually late on office days. It's taking me about 2 hrs to get into town, and I officially need to look into taking the GO from Oshawa. I stopped into the Oshawa Costco on the way home but basically couldn't find anything I was looking for. It was a sign, for me to get out of there and boogie home. I also stopped at Home Depot but they were closed. Because everything in Cobourg closes at 8pm. *insert giant eye roll* Forget about where to get Chinese food at 3am on a Tuesday, I can't get Chinese food at 8:05pm on a Thursday.

I carved my pumpkins on the weekend, and they turned out tremendously well. I take pencil to paper before I attempt drawing on the pumpkin. If I cannot get a reasonably attractive run-thru I move on to the next model. I was struggling, hard. And then like magic I drew out Bowser and it was a success. sketched it out on the pumpkin and gave it a carve. Once your outline is there the carving is relatively easy. And then I needed a partner for Bowser. Sim suggested Peach but the options on Google image search intimidated me and I ended up with Boo. Again, I am fantastically pleased with how they turned out.

Next weekend is the third annual carving at Sim's place. We'll see if the plan will come to fruition. We shall see.

Tomorrow I need to pop back over to Home Depot to get some screws for a building project. I'll post it next week. It's already looking even better than I could have imagined. I'll find out this week if company will be joining me in Cobourg next weekend. I have a handful of cleaning jobs to complete between now and Friday, and I'm already rolling my eyes at the thought.

Oh and one last thing. My mom asked me if I would be interested in volunteering for her band to do the bookkeeping, and I'm meeting with the leader of that organization on  Wednesday. She's been kind of keen on me spreading my wings in Cobourg. And I just want to sit on my couch and eat bon bons. Or sit on Sim's couch eating bon bons. TBBI. Total bon bon important. I made my cut-off, with 15 minutes to spare. I bid this beautiful blog a sweet sweet night.
