This weekend has been a "run into people" kind of weekend. Not literally of course. I go months and months without seeing random people I know while I'm out and then this weekend it happens to me 3 times in one day.
Yesterday, I went to Costco with JD. Before that, we went to Cora's for breakfast. It was good, or at least mine was. JD wasn't overly impressed with his but I quite enjoyed mine and it really did come with a mountain of fruit, just like advertised. Just as we were finishing up and about to get the bills, I looked up and my friend KayD's sister and her boyfriend had just sat down. I waved and she got up so I met up with her and chatted and she introduced me to her man and we teased her about being a Montreal fan and not an Ottawa fan. You know, usual, stereotypical Canadian conversation. LOL.
Next up, JD and I had just cashed out at Costco (and I was under budget!) when I looked up and noticed that one of the cashiers looked really familiar. Took me about 5 seconds and then I placed him. His name is Justin and I went to College with him. Talk about random. I don't think I've seen him once since I graduated and that was almost 11 years ago.
After JD dropped me off, I headed to the mall as one of my favourite stores had bras and sleep ware on sale. I stuck out with the bras this time but got two new nighties (buy one, get one free) and got 5 new pairs of panties, one of which matches one of my new nighties. How's that for co-ordination? I also got 2 pairs of tights and a 3 pack of trouser socks on the reduced to clear rack. I love saving money :) While waiting to the bus back home, I heard someone say "Hi Sarah" and I turned around and there was a woman who used to work in my office. She was with her family so I chatted politely for a few minutes before they headed out.
So that was 3 random people in one day.Oh and I saw one of the local news reporters in the mall.
Today I stayed at home and cleaned and hand washed more of my bras. I did the dark coloured ones yesterday and then the light coloured ones today. My bathroom looks like a lingerie ad.
March continues to be a notorious month as well. One friend's step son was stabbed (he's in stable condition and is eating ok etc...) and another lost her father - exactly one week after losing her mother. There's a very real phenomenon where people who are really old or have been together a very long time die within a short time of one and other. Mr.B was 100 so I guess you could say that he'd live a good and long life. He was a very sweet man and I feel blessed just having known him. Now that he and his wife have been re-united with my grandparents and all their old friends, I'm guessing that there's going to be one heck of a bonspiel going on up there in Heaven. I do feel really bad for his daughter and grand daughters. They haven't got over the death of their mother/grandmother from last week and now they have to do it all over again this week. I hope that's the end of the bad things for them for a good, long while.
And March wasn't good to my brother either. He ended up at the hospital Friday morning because he blow his nose and ended up blowing out his eardrum. I told him "I guess that's proof that you really do blow". I don't think he thought my joke was funny. Clearly he wasn't taking enough pain meds. I thought it was a damn funny joke. Poor guy though. I hope he's all better soon and that it's nothing serious/no permanent damage done.
I really hope that March is done with all of its misfortunes. One good thing did come of today. Being St. Patrick's Day, I decided to try to Irish Pear Cider I'd bought last month and forgot was in my fridge. It was really, really good! I've found a new alcohol to enjoy!! YAY!!! And it doesn't taste anything like beer so I'm thrilled about that.
Good Night!
Sarah
Happy St. Patty's Day!
