What's on your agenda for today?

We went out and bought a new couch and two lazy boy recliners today. FINALLY, I can get rid of the gawd-awful blue plaid recliner that has been hurting my eyes for the past 6 1/2 years. It's taken that long to pry it loose from the Spousal Equivalent's cold dead hands. Even HE has finally come to admit that the time has come to put it out of its (and my) misery. Count-down to delivery on Wednesday...

Old couch and loveseat are off to charity.
 

Shalimar, I love Cookie's picture. My mom used to fix her hair like that. I always wished that I could, but my face is l o n g and thin so it just wouldn't have been a swell look on me. If you do it, post a picture, k?
 
Georgia, haven't seen Barbie or Ken and the kids didn't show up. Wouldn't have allowed the kids inside the door! Anyway, this is Saturday and not a gym day. However, next week I'll be going 4 times - Sun, Tues, Thurs, Sat. We'll be taking our wee island trip next Sunday for 3 nights (a holiday within a holiday). The resort we are going to does have a small gym and I may or may not avail myself of its offerings.
 
Okay, I'm up for Sunday. I'll see how it goes and make a decision about the other three days after that, okay?

*We* are taking a trip? Oh, goody. Three nights means I bring my toothbrush, right?

Okay.

Yes, bring your toothbrush! We are going to a small island (nothing on it but one resort). It's my birthday trip except it's 2 weeks early. During the week of my birthday the rates are 3-4 times higher than the special 3 night winter rate we got. We didn't get one of the rooms with your own private pool and section of beach, but we're getting a nice room and we've got 2 big pools to use and gorgeous beach and sea. Free kayaks to use.

You'll like the food. Thai and western food. Breakfast which is included looks yummy! French toast, pain au chocolat, etc etc......
 
Breakfast is my favorite meal! And I love French toast.

It's not going to be easy finding a birthday gift. I don't want to saddle you with anything that will be hard to pack or cause a problem with customs when you're traveling home. Let me think about it...

Don't worry. Besides I've bought enough stuff already for myself and for others, so no extra room in the luggage.
 
Hit some thrift shops this morning. My mom is coming for a visit and I need to get a raised toilet seat for her. I looked at some at Walmart - $25-40, depending on how elaborate they are. Then I went to my favorite charity thrift shop and they had one of the $40 ones still sealed in a box for $1.99. I gave them $5 for it. Win-win!
 
Got a holiday flat/apartment rented for a week in Edinburgh in June. My sister will be in Scotland for 3 weeks and also one of my brothers for a few days. Brother is giving a talk at the university. So we thought it would be easier to just go where he'll be instead of him traveling to our house.

Can't believe it's 3 weeks tomorrow until we go home. But we'll be back Dec 1st. Lots more stuff to put in storage with the management this time. The fees aren't high and it's much cheaper than buying all this stuff again.
 
If I don't stop buying gifts for people (and myself) I won't have any room in my luggage when we go home!

Going to a different restaurant tonight. A non-Thai food dinner for me.
 
It's been fun so far, but I'm telling you for sure that I'm getting a bit tired. There's more activity every day than I usually experience in a week. I can hold out for another three weeks though, especially considering that we're probably going to see some sNOw flurries today and tomorrow.

Too much bike riding maybe?

It will be relaxing next week for 3 days. Swimming/floating in the sea and the pool, eating, drinking, relaxing. But there will also be a bit of kayaking and snorkeling.
 
Georgia, good news for you. I was just reading some reviews for our island getaway next week and discovered the gym is still being constructed. So forget the workout clothes!

However, you will get a workout paddling a kayak and walking along the beaches and swimming.
 
Me, either. I guess there isn't any reason why we can't just stick with the plan and if a deal comes along next year for that resort, we'll just take advantage of it. Since I didn't expect it this year, it's just a happy accident and a bonus so I'm grateful:)

Um. It's sNOwing here. Stand by. Teleporting myself...

Yea, we'll likely look for the same deal next year. Can you borrow the Star Trek teleporter? Snow sucks!
