Odds 'N Ends

Seriously? I haven't updated since Tuesday? Guess that just shows how interesting life has been lately.

It's Friday the 13th. Anyone out there with Triskaidekaphobia? Personally, I've always found the number 13 to be lucky for me, but it could just be my imagination.

The highlight of the week was this morning when the plumbing guys came and installed our new water heater. Yah! No more cold showers and rusty baths!

Today was nice and sunny but the last few days were warm, grey and rainy. Which means, of course, all that snow we've got from the last few weeks has melted right into our basement. Water, water, everywhere - bah! humbug!

The daughter had the day off yesterday so we spend the day having a Gilmore Girls marathon. When the show first aired we used to watch it together on Tuesday nights (I think) as a mother/daughter bonding ritual. I'm happy to say it hasn't lost it's appeal, at least for me.

Another thing we did yesterday was go veil shopping. There's one bridal shop in our town and you need to call ahead to make sure it's open. It was actually surprising how much stock was crammed into that place. There was only a small selection of veils and we weren't really impressed with either them or their prices, but we did see a couple of really nice hats. So now the daughter needs to decide between a hat or a veil. Being an outdoor wedding, I think a hat would look really nice, and she wears hats a lot better than most people.

Okay, if the clip below doesn’t make you go “Awww” at least once, then you have a heart made of stone. :-p
