A happy, hot and bright Friday to you all. Boo on the hot weather, but hooray for another week at work being finished. This week has been jam packed with work, and thankfully I got everything on my to do list crossed off.
It was so hot in my house last night! There is absolutely no air flow. At one point I contemplated sleeping on my lawn, but since we only have a front lawn, I didn’t think that would be that refined. And I am much more lady like than that. Although Tom once slept on our lawn…but was that classy?
This weekend also brings my most hated time of the year. Seriously, I don’t understand it, and I don’t really think it is that cool. Street Wheelers. For all of you who are lucky enough to escape this monstrosity, let me explain. Pretty much, it is a glorified Show and Shine. People drive their old and fancy cars up and down Mayor Magrath Drive and Third Avenue. The public sits on the side of the road and watches all the cars go by, like some weird parade, but without the candy. (and what fun is that?) But after a while, regular cars just join the parade and soon everyone is just driving up and down the street. Usually doing stunts and spinning their tires. Stupid. This stupid parade would be fine, if it wasn’t going on all night and on the two busiest roads in the city. Good luck just trying to get around town tonight.
Three years ago was my first summer in Lethbridge. Before that, I had been going home to Brooks every summer. Therefore, I had no idea that this night ever existed. So as I was driving home one summer night, there were people lined up on the street and the traffic was going not faster than 5 km/h. This started my hatred for the Street Wheelers. Someone please explain the excitement of Street Wheelers? I try at all costs to avoid this weekend, and usually make plans to leave town, but I wasn’t that lucky this year.
Going another direction, let me tell you what I absolutely love….self checkout. Even Wal-Mart has redeemed itself with the introduction of the self-checkout. It probably isn’t, but it seems faster and lets me live out the fantasy of being a cashier, without actually working eight hours.
Here’s to:
07/07/07! It only happens once in my lifetime!
Cooler weather around the corner.
Weekend escapades. What will happen, only time will tell.
Hopefully a clean room by the end of the weekend.
And more time with you.
