[..say, WHAT..??!!]
yeah. I know. IT "sounds" CRAZY! - BUT, I'm
serious!
okay. So,
perhaps the
SEVERAL Hours of
CONTINUOUS Blowing-Falling SNOW,
15-Minutes of
Brushing OFF THE CAR *TWICE*, the
Treacherous UNplowed Roads, and
20-Minutes of
SHOVELLING *before* I could
UNLOAD THE CAR,
were just a
bit of
OVERKILL..?!?
HOWEVER, *had* the
WEATHER been
"NICE", I would
NEVER have ended up in
that PARTICULAR Section of
WALMART to
"DISCOVER" -
[sitting on a couple of Shelves at the End of the Aisle in plain sight] - My
Fab **BIRTHDAY-PRESENT**!!
oh. right! -- Did I
mention that
TODAY was My
"BIRTHDAY"..? -- And, pretty much
THE *only* REASON as to
"WHY" I would
RISK Driving in
THESE WEATHER CONDITIONS?!
 |
My Quickie-2-Minute-CYBER-CARD from SISTER [right]
- I think IT's from My 4th-Birthday..? Or, the 5th..?
-- IT's been a WHILE!! |
ANYHOO... I began the
"FESTIVITIES" by
*not* getting
TO Bed *until* 8am!! -- Not that I was
really DOING ANYthing of
"NOTE", I just
wasn't "Sleepy"...
Until, I
*had* to
get UP around
1pm.
oh. Look. IT's been
SQUALLING since 11am... So much for
ANY Notions of heading over to
TRAINYARDS. -- But, I'm
sure that I can
Find *enough* to keep Me
"ENTERTAINED" over at
THE-MALL..? *Besides*,
IT's within WALKING-Distance -
IN the
EVENT of any
"CAR-TROUBLES"...
Soooo... I managed to
minimally SKID on over
THERE...
WALMART was My
First-Stop. And,
for once, I was going to more
*thoroughly* PERUSE the Place! --
As in, a
Check of
Their rather
pitifully *SPARSE* "SEWING"-CRAFTS-Section...
[NOTE -- Before leaving, MOTHER *Gifted* Me
with a *Certain*-Amount of "FINANCES" toward
WHATEVER I wished to GET for Myself]
 |
I was in NEED of some of that "TAN" Colour, too... |
Oooo...
*HAPPY-HAPPY*. BIRTHDAY. *TO*. ME!!
And, *THANK YOU!*, "KARMIC"-SHOPPING-FAIRY!!
hmm... I've
NEVER seen
THAT BLUE in the
BIG-BALLS of COTTON YARN before!? And, it's been
YEARS since I've seen
ANY in
GREY! -- Needless to Say, I
*grabbed* ALL that was
there!!
Although, I'm
also left to
*Wonder*,
"for-how-long" has
THIS STUFF been
*sitting* Here??! - AND,
had there been
MORE?! --
Whatever, I will HAVE to
Keep an
Eye out for
ANY "Future" RE-Stocking!!
well... Let's see
What ELSE is in the
Store...
ah! Finally. The
"Particular"-FLAVOUR of CANNED-BEANS that
FATHER likes are
ON-SHELF. -
Time to
Use that
"RAIN-CHEQUE"...
With a
FULL-Cart, I headed
back to
THE CAR to
Dump My
HOARD-of-HAPPINESS... As well as, to
REMOVE the
*FIRST* FOUR-INCHES of FLUFFY-FLAKES *cocooning* My VEHICLE! -
[I would be glad of My Foresight later on!]
The
BULK BARN was
Next...
seriously. What *IS* a
BIRTHDAY-IN-A-SNOWSTORM without *Copious* AMOUNTS of "JUNK-FOOD",
huh?!
...
and, on to
LOBLAWS... Where, I
*needed* to
Buy "Certain"-ITEMS in order to
get "X"-MANY-Store-POINTS, so that, I could
"CASH"-Them-IN for a
GIFT-CARD that I'm
going to
NEED on
TUESDAY!
However,
because I spent *too* much
Time doing
THAT in the
JOE FRESH Clothing-Section, I ended up
MISSING-OUT on
MOST of the
FOOD-SAMPLINGS! -
[pooh!] -
LUCKILY, I managed to
snag the
LAST Portion of some
really TASTY RICE & PORK from the
SWEET-OLD-GERMAN-GUY! -
Including, getting to
"use" what
barely remains of My
considerably *Limited*-MANY-Decades-Old-"High-School"-GERMAN-Linguistic-"Knowledge"...
NUTS! -- The
"POINTS" for the
Clothing DIDN'T "show-up"!?! -
[ggrrrr...] - Some
CYBERness will be
in order Later to
Rectify THAT!
ahh... ANOTHER-4-INCHES-to-*SPEED*-BRUSH-*OFF*-of-THE-CAR so that I can
SEE to
*Slide* HOME!!
[...ONE More REASON "WHY" being a "WINTER-BABY" totally SUCKS!!
- BTW, the afore-mentioned SHOVELLING afterward didn't "help", either!]
[Although, the $5. LOTTERY *WIN* DID!!]
hmm... I think the
PAPARAZZI are going to
need a
GPS-LOCATOR-BEACON to
*FIND* The GROUNDHOG,
Tomorrow!
