**HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SISTER**!!
I'VE BEEN CELEBRATING My "Kid" SISTER'S BIRTHDAY with a Viewing-Marathon of Today's latest Purchase -- "HAWAII FIVE-0 - Season 1" DVDs!
She's a big Fan of The SHOW, too. I'm certain She would "Approve"! If not, We can "discuss" IT in a Few Weeks when She comes to Visit...
Anyway, I'm almost Half Way through Them... I'm especially enjoying the DELECTED SCENES
-- that do add to the overall "Background" Texture of The Storyline, although, I do see "Why" They were CUT.
Meanwhile, I have been engaged in some "Creative" Work whilst "Watching"... Started on THIS...

ALOHA "Castle" Day!!
SEASON PREMIERE NIGHT!! WOOHOO!!
Season 4 of "CASTLE"
Season 2 of "HAWAII FIVE-0"
OH, and of course, BOTH SHOWS ARE ON AT THE SAME TIME!! aarrggghhh!!
..decisions, decisions...
The "usual" Game Plan is taping CASTLE while watching 5-0. - I need to see The CUTE GUYS
"LIVE"! And, the Scenery... ANYthing to keep My Mind OFF of My "Cold"!
Yes. I've CAUGHT MOTHER's Cold!! -- So far, IT's just at the Sore-Throat-Hurts-To-Swallow-Mess-With-My-Tonsils Stage. I'm over-loading with the Vitamin C and Onions and Fluids at the Moment to hopefully Lessen the whole Process!
...AH! The *MAGIC* of BLOOGING! It's much Later Now...
BOTH were GREAT Episodes!! - And the 5-0 Ending...? WHOA!! -- Sooo. Did. NOT. See. THAT. *ONE*. Coming!!
*************************************************************
Season 4 of "CASTLE"
- Last Season.. BECKETT was Shot by a Sniper. As She lay Dying, CASTLE professed His Love... Did She HEAR Him? Will She Remember..?
Season 2 of "HAWAII FIVE-0"
- McGARRETT has been Charged with the Corrupt GOVERNOR's Murder. He's being "Framed"! Will "Super-SEAL" attempt to Escape from Prison, before WE get to see ALL of His Tattoos?! Will His TEAM PROVE His Innocence..? Will The TEAM be BACK Together...? Will WO FAT *ever* get Caught?!
OH, and of course, BOTH SHOWS ARE ON AT THE SAME TIME!! aarrggghhh!!

..what..? -- I *Missed* IT?!!
NUTS!! -- And IT was so Close, too! I must have been Driving THEN...
It wasn't until a couple of Hours Later, that I heard that We had "apparently" had a 4.0 Earth Tremor about 20 odd Miles East of Here! Just over on the Quebec side... Normally, when They are more North of Us, We feel Them. However, I suspect that the Angle of the Ottawa River between There and Here, probably dampened this "Wave"...
"Whatever.." - I MISSED IT!! -- And, the IDIOT-With-No-Left-Brake-Light who Cut Me OFF on the way to COSTCO! I *hate* going There on Sundays. "The CROWD" and "Sunday-Drivers" have such a weird "Vibe"... But, I *needed* to get Milk. And, pick-up Something that I had Forgotten to, Yesterday.
So... My *DAY* was --

- Weave My way through Crazy-Sunday-Shopping-Cart-Drivers.
- MISS THE PLANET grumble...
- Do more LAUNDRY.
- Make THESE...

..Wait A Sec...
WHADDAYA MEAN..? -- I never Bought ANYTHING, Today..?!! -- And LOTTERY Tickets and Junk Food *DON'T* count! - [INSERT - My "Astonished Disbelief" Face]
It's looking like YARD SALE Season is on the wane... There was only ONE in Our Neighbourhood. No Others in Our usual "Haunts". Even the SALLY-ANN was sparse of Worthy Pickings... And, We were out too Late for that Sale at the Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard. Good thing We got to do that bit of Pre-Shopping Yesterday!
Of course, it's not to say that We didn't do a lot of "running around"... For Hours... And, MOTHER does have a Cold... So. It's been a "bit of This" and a "bit of That" type of Day. Thankfully, the Weather has been Sunny - just on the Cooler side. Sorta...
However, not to Fret! We DID get "some" FREE STUFF at ZELLERS! - Their Pharmacy Section was running a "Diabetes Clinic". Strangely enough, We BOTH ended up with the SAME Glucose Reading! Huh.
Which, BTW, was good - for Both of Us. Actually, for Me, it was a Great Reading! -- just saying..
Meanwhile, I've just spent the Evening still going through My new SANCTUARY DVDs... And, doing LAUNDRY...
-- Ah. My "WORLD"...

Taking A SNEAK-PEEK...
AND, A PURCHASING OPPORTUNITY... of course!
The Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard is having one of ITS Annual "Yard Sale" Fundraisers Tomorrow. We dropped by some Donations This Afternoon, and whilst There, did a bit of "PRE-Shopping"...
To be honest, IT was a tad disappointing. Nowhere near the really *great* STUFF that was to be HAD as Last Year! - [SEE 17SEP2010 - 18SEP2010 - 19SEP2010 POSTS] - Needless to say, that still *didn't* Prevent MOTHER from Acquiring yet *another* SEWING MACHINE to Clean and Refurbish!! -- Oh, and that is AFTER "donating" that Child's Portable Sewing Machine She had bought Earlier in the Year...
Anyway, as for ME..
I just got These Two - [5x2.5-inch] - Dutch-Made TILES for a Dollar...
Although, I did ponder over an old large Beach-Scape PAINT-BY-NUMBER...
IT was nicely done, but NOT for $5.
- [..which is usually the Top-End of What I PAY for ORIGINALS!]
And, I really DO hate
Those "Frames" that come with Them. Perhaps, IF IT was $2...?
The SALE only goes until NOON - uncertain *IF* We'll be There or not... MOTHER has a bit of a Cold at the Moment - depends on "When" We start off...?

Business-BUNNY Mind Tricks..
THAT ANGORA-RABBIT WHO ROAMS THE FLOOR AT KNIT-KNACKERS...
I swear IT can probably SMELL "Yarn-STASH" Pheromones from the Customers!
It was all I could do, to *avoid* TRIPPING over The Furry One as I perused the Bargain Table!
-- BTW, I "behaved"... I stuck to My "Rule" of Buying-ONLY-What-I-could-HOLD-in-My-Hands, and refused the *use* of a Shopping-Basket! - Made THAT "Budgetary Error" LAST Time!
Anyhoo... THIS is what $35. [including Taxes] *GOT* Me...
Some MERINO, ALPACA, Mixes of BAMBOO, and SILK... NO Clue as to Future "Projects" - I just LIKED the Colours and Fibers! Perfect "STASH" Candidates... Right, FAIRY-T?!
Oh! Speaking of Which... sorta... I had brought My recently Completed "SHAN-TOQUE" - [SEE 25AUG2011 POST] - to show The GIRLS at KNIT-KNACKERS. As it turns out, a smart move on My part. -- The Weather turned toward the *much* COOLER side on the Walk Home from THE MALL. I had to FIELD-TEST My Creation!
Worked GREAT!!
