Fakes, Flakes and Fridays

Ah, the life of the 'Friday' - relaxed, optimistic, energized and spontaneous.

I wonder, how many women spend there hard earned shopping and self pampering dollars on Fridays? Personally, though I always seem to need to, I'd rather shop any other day of the week.

Have you ever noticed how down right nasty people in grocery stores get on Fridays? (not as bad as Thursday around 4pm - stay away at all costs!) They scowl, guide their carts around the store as though they were running on high octane. The drivers huffing and puffing as they go. If you ever want to get under someone's skin on Friday - lally your way through the grocery store.... it ticks all of the racing freaks right off.

Are you one of those freaks? Stop and think about it next time - life is too short to get too upset.

Today I'm headed out to find myself a couple of things. I need a headset so I can use Skype for some of my long distance calls. I'm not really sure what makes a good headset and I'm not sure where I'm going to find it - such is the challenge.

After I secure that little piece of necessary hardware, its off to Shoppers for a pick up of a quick list. Now I like Shoppers. The staff is usually friendly, informative and willing to help you out. The one thing I don't like about the drug mart gone general grocery is the need to constantly check their pricing. I often find that their prices are as much as $3 more than the product aisles in the grocery store - same items, same products.

Speaking of which, what do you think about the new 'Loblaws brand' Supper Stores? I really do not have an opinion yet, even though I've been into the new monstrosity near my home. There is just so much - everything.

I understand that it is the Loblaws agenda to beat Wal-Mart to the punch in Canada. In our region alone, there is talk of several of these super stores. Wal-Mart - the evil American converging on us Northern is in expansion mode. They are slated to bring a huge number of their own 'Super Stores' to Ontario within the next couple of years. The little town I live outside is even getting one.... life used to be simple.

That's it for my Friday goings on. Oh, for those who are not from Canada that read this - thank you and no, still no snow here.

Have a Hot Cherry Day and weekend. I'll be reporting back about this weekend's Vintage Sale in Ottawa.
