friday post 96

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 5631 steps today (yay, more than usual ^^); secondly, TWFT topic's 'are you fulfilled (1)?'; thirdly, the spam count for the week's eleven and lastly, i'm still owed THIRTY MINUTES online after aunty lucia leaves around 5pm!!!! righteo, let's start off with last night's events first!
~annette arrived around 4pm and, after a quick shower and a hair dry, we hit garbo!
-thankfully, there was a parking spot available downstairs, and after i pushed sparkless up to the library, i grabbed the same novella by orson scott card that i'd read last fortnight, 'shadows in flight' and happily read for eighty minutes.
-*sigh* first, PIG mum invents some diabolical showering plan for me, now she's wised up to my plan of going to the loo before i walk to garbo and demanded that i walk straight to foodcourt before letting me sit back down in sparkless! >< *sigh*
-but yay! i enjoyed my original two piece feed with a kookies and kream krusher~ like i've said, i'm not about to try anything else when you know i'll not get any chance for KFC for the next two weeks! XD and annette had KFC with me! she had a popcorn chicken snackbox with a cappuccino from somewhere. and she gave me a fun-sized mars bar for dessert! first, though, she checked for peanuts. "it says 'may contain traces of nuts'" she fretted. "don't worry, they all say that now to cover themselves." i replied. "and, if i do taste peanuts, i won't die on you, i promise." XD
-after dinner, we hit woolies and bought the kilo salt dad needed. annette picked up some groceries for her family, too.
-then we went to the other end of garbo, to the discount fruit barn (it's called sth like that) to buy a wombok for the parents. again, annette picked up some fresh fruit and vegies for her family, too.
-we intended to buy the bread @ the downstairs breadtop, but 'twas closed!-so we went back upstairs, where i picked for myself the same delicious chicken puff pastry and this peanut bun for dearest dad. i'm always amused; how can two parents who love eating peanuts that much give birth to a daughter with a peanut allergy?! XD
-there was even time and money left over for a mcflurry. :) unfortunately, they were out of oreo cookies, but i tried this chocolate fudge one instead, which was nice, but stuck all around my teeth! XD
-hey, aunty lucia's here now, so fingers crossed i can bbl, okies? else i'm attending SHINE fellowship tonight, but have nothing toms bar tess coming to mind me for three hours @ 10am, so expect a pissy plodding total. hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^
