This is what I want...

Lucky
Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oooohhhhoohhhhohhooohhooohhooohoooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music, feel the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

My puppy dog, Conan was put down yesterday. He was getting very frail and he'd been crying at night, so I didn't want him in pain.

I miss him, though.

Cheers,

Peer pressure is alive and well :-P

Then I'd go to see where Dad grew up in England and do a European tour, making sure to take in Santorini, Alhambra and Paris.

I am random, hear me ramble...

Ugh. Next time Dad is over, I'm gonna ask him to take down the kitchen exhaust fan cover so I can clean it. It's icky. I could do it myself but I'd probably stack it and break something...my go-go-gadget arms aren't working right lately

So, you know what annoys me? Apart from being sick? When you get a new CD (just bought the Bible on MP3) and it's in there all nice and snug. And you try to take it out for the first time but it's really snug. And you've never snapped a CD taking it out before but you're sure this is going to be the first time. Yeah. That annoys me.

Phew

It's been a big day.

I went to the Mall today to go and get some groceries to make a lasagne and salad for Dad and Cathy. They get home Tuesday and I don't want them to have to cook Tuesday night, but still have a good meal. Yet to see if my lasagne can be considered "good"...tee hee.

Anyways. I went and got my ear pierced. They couldn't put the little hoop in straight away so it's a silver bar. But I'll go back in 3 weeks for a check up and order 2 little gold hoops for the 2 cartiledge piercings. Rad.

Then I went and picked out new frames for glasses and sunglasses. This new store had a deal of 2 complete sets of glasses for the price of one. So I picked out a $249 pair of normal frames (pictured) and a $199 pair of sunglasses. So the guy gave them both to me for $249. Technically, it should have been $299. Bargain. So I booked an eye test and went to do some more shopping.

Stopped by Shiels and put some sapphire earrings on lay-by. The sticker said sapphire and diamond but my receipt says sapphire and cz. I'll have to check that. Not that I mind coz they're still pretty but I want to know. They're the same colour and shape as the stones in my ring and drop earrings and have little square diamonds (cz?) on top. They had the matching pendant on special...but I resisted...tee hee. The earrings are for my bday. Or if I don't get any bday money, they'll just be my present to me. *grin*

*Dad just text messaged me to say Asia (they're in Singapore) is hot, humid and hard to see through tired gritty eyes...awww*

Then I went to Starbucks and had a caramel macchiato and banana caramel tart. Yummo! But I have to remember to ask them to make my coffee strong. It was a bit weak for my taste. I like to taste the coffee over the caramel and milk. The cafe near work (Funk) does an awesome caramel latte. They make mine with an extra espresso shot. Good stuff. Oh! And they were giving away little sample bags of their Kenya blend. Score!

Then I did the grocery shopping. Ran into Dom (love that girl). I don't think I bought anything overly interesting. Mainly lasagne ingredients. Didn't find a drink bottle. They had them in Starbucks but they were really expensive.

Then I walked all the way to the other side of the mall (one end to the other and back today) for my eye test. It took a lot longer than I expected - lots of double checking. She told me when she was done with that part that she was checking more than she usually would because my prescription is actually weaker than last time! How cool is that?! She said it was a pretty rare thing to happen and wanted to be sure. I'm happy! Glasses should be ready by Thursday. If so, I'll pick them up after work.

Then I got the bus home (skipped getting the dog food so I could get a bus rather than a taxi), put stuff in the fridge and went online.

Exciting, huh?! Tee hee.
