Sadly, I think only old farts like myself will know where my subject line came from.
So, I decided to order my pizza online, so as not to have to deal with pesky humans. But they're supposed to call you back to confirm your order. My phone is screwed up right now, and incoming calls don't always come through. So I called them (them being Pizza Pizza) to explain this. They said they couldn't find any record of my order. I was alternately on hold/talking to different people for twenty minutes or more. The guy finally found my order, and told me it was a technical glitch, and therefore, my whole order was free! Woohoo! I haven't gotten a free pizza in years! And I had ordered 4 pops and extra dipping sauces and a mini "cooler bag", so it was all free! Yay! Oh, and they didn't have one of the dipping sauce flavours I wanted, so they threw in two extra of the other flavour I ordered (for a total of 5!) Awesome. Free shit is the best. :D
Dan is staying at his mom's tonight, hanging out with his sister's fiance, Rick. (They're about the same age.)
I got my money today and went to Double Take, which is kind of like Goodwill, but better, and cheaper! I got a bunch of stuff there. Grabbed some hallowe'en stuff at the Bargain Shop, and papaya treats for my ratties at Pet Valu. (And fish food and rattie kibble.)
I talked to my son Troy about the whole Lord of the Rings theme for hallowe'en, and he said he'd like to be Sauron. Not Saruman, Sauron. I told him we could get one of those
M&M costumes, and airbrush it or paint it to look like
the Eye of Sauron, lol! And just dress him in black, with one of those hoods where he can see out, but it looks solid black to everyone else. He said he'd wear it if I did that, lol! I think it would be hilarious! But cool, too.
I think Dan & I are going to Savage tomorrow. Anyone else???
Who is braving the cold to check out the Nuit Blanche exhibits? We might do that earlier in the evening... Not sure yet.
