Why do I have an easy time telling him about things that I don't really want to talk to my other friends about?
Frugal is such a dirty word!

I had to get one of my X-mas gifts tonight and some groceries and my mom needed gas so I opted to go with her. Now she's been talking about how badly the inside of her windshield needs to be clean for oh I dunno at least 2 mths now. So we're at the gas station and I'm cleaning off the outside of her windshield with the squegee thing and I was saying how it was too bad that I couldn't use it on the inside of the windshield. She actually didn't think that there'd be anything wrong with this, I on the other hand saw the obvious problems with using the gas station squegee on the inside of your car and refused to do it. I bet you can see where this is going. After I finsih doing the windows I go and sit back in the car only to have my mother get in the car with the squegee and proceed to wash her windows....and pretty much the whole dashboard. I could nothing but shake my head and laugh. Yes folks this is the gene pool I've been forced to play in.
As anyone that's remotely a shopper knows we've just entered a new clothing season this of course means that I must make my quarterly trip across the river to America. First of all lucky me the dollar was a whole whopping 82 cents!! Although some of you may not find this very good it sure as hell beats the 68 cents I was paying last year. Yeah I know you're thinking why bother going over there to shop when the dollar is in the crapper. Simple....I don't buy things I can get in Canada afterall if I can't buy it here how am I really getting hosed for it? (Yes I can justify the purchase of pretty much anything if I want it bad enough.) Which leads me to the reason I'm actually writing anything here today. When I was coming back across I of course had stuff to claim (no I'm not crazy for claiming if you bought as much as I did you'd do it to, I just don't claim everything :)) so I was asking how much the duty was going to be, oh excuse me anal border people, *tax* on what I purchased. As I started to complain about it the guy to asked me if I thought that I should be rewarded for supporting a foreign economy, well duh! I asked him if he wanted to know my theory as to why. I think that since I buy products that can't be purchased in Canada that I shouldn't have to pay duty. Afterall am I not helping the Canadian economy because I'm propping up the US economy which happens to be our largest trading partner? So if I can prove to you that what I bought isn't available in this wonderful country then I should get off scot free. To my credit he agreed with me but he still charged me duty anyways, dirty bastard!
"To compliment and add a but before critisim is demeaning." You know my boss does this all the time to the people that work for her and I've never liked it but didn't until now have words to describe how it makes ya feel.
I think my mother might be on to my scheme with the bf. As you've read he thinks I'm smart and I know this because Sparky over heard a conversation that he was having with my mother, a whole 5 minute conversation, which for him is like an eternity! My mother claims not to remember it though, I don't know how you couldn't remember an historic event like that! I know she's getting old and she's not always the sharpest pencil in the box but I think she'd remember a 5 min. conversation with the man who never speaks about how he thinks her daughter is smart. This all leads to a scary conclusion, my mother's on to me!! She knows all about my crush and how I want to hug him and love him and call him george and do a few other things to him I shouldn't mention here and therefore as a way to discourage me from liking him even more has decided to act like the conversation never happened! She's a sly one I tell you when she sets her mind to it. I know this may sound paranoid but those that know my parents (and read the blog) know that their thought processes works in strange ways.
So I figured something out today that the bf was helping me with but has been too busy to lately but I managed to figure myself what I needed to do to fix the problem. I must say I was very proud of myself so I called him up and sung the I am so smart song, if I didn't scare him before the singing has done it now!! Anyways I was telling this story to Sparky and he went on to tell me that my bf was telling my mom last week that she should be proud of me cause he was impressed with how smart I am! I can't believe he didn't tell me that until today, he claims he did but I know he didn't! That makes up a little bit for the karma, but not quite.
So it was the staff BBQ today which I thought might be a good chance to mingle with Polkaroo and everything was looking up when I went over to get the free gift we get and he was coming out the door, score! Or so I think cause after he gets his freebie he goes back inside :( So off I head to get my lunch and all that so I grab a seat with some people that I know and eat with them and when I'm done eating I decide to go and visit with some others. Low and behold he comes back out to have his lunch by now the table I was at is full, except for one seat. Bf of course and looking around for a place to sit and bloody hell, where do you think he sat?!?!? You got it, at the friggin' table I was already at!!!! Son of a *$%#@ Bloody hell it must be her time of the month!!
