don't you just love it. I get all giddy and high when I get good free stuff. The adrenalin rush is better then a good 2 for 1 sale. Last week Hairball and I were driving down our street when I seen two large bags full of beer and soda tins. They were sitting at the curb as it was garbage day. I don't know about where you live but here beer tins pay 10- cents each and soda tins 5 cents a piece. I tell Hairball turn around I want to grab those empty's. He pulls a u-turn at the nest street and we drive back. Just as he pulls up to the curb a lawn waste pick-up truck is pulling in from the other direction. I race out and scoop the two bags up in front of the guy. He say's I wanted those and I gave a gleeful chuckle and said but I have them. hahahaha I think I was chuckling for the rest of the afternoon and it still brings a smirk to my face as I write this now. Incidentaly I gave the empty's to Nevada and Kaikoa and the totalled $25.60.
Then this Saturday while Hairball is out garbage saleing he sees this pile of allenblocks at the end of a driveway. He askes the lady what she is doing with them and she just wants to get rid of them. Well you can probably guess the story from here. He drives home hooks up the utility trailer and ends up bringing home two trailers full. We have been building retaining walls all week behind our property terracing it down to the river.
Well how was your free week... This isn't our wall just so you get the idea

. So I get it in my mind to go and check out the local lingerie shop. The sign outside the door was a big set of pink lips and I figured we're a small town it must be a nice tasteful shop full of slips and nighties .
Well was my face red..... In the outer part of the store (not the secret back room down two hallways, we'll get to that later), were all these I am not even sure what part of the body they were meant to be worn on. I tried to bring humour into the situation something I frequently do when uncomfortable or embarrassed. "Hey I'll take something in black leather with whips please" The salesclerk doesn't crack a smile and asks what size, geesh I was just kidding. One rack was full of fantasy roll-playing outfits. Ever hear of Supergirl? It's not the same as the one from the Marvel comics.
