Then again can you blame me? Have you been outside in New York this week? jesus man it's just freezing out there, not fun, not warm and fuzzy, just bloody cold.
So I'm happy to say that FINALLY I got my clients site up and running. The new page looks good, everything is working, so I'm happy. Now I just have to send him an invoice and hopefully get that through before the holidays? Actually I've just (for international gift giving) a online store called FlowersDirect.Co.uk that Joe, girl from Myers of Keswick store gave me. It's not just flowers, oh no, there's hampers as well and they're very reasonably priced. A lot bloody cheaper than Marks and Spencer's that's for sure. SO I'm going to send my folks a nice big hamper for Christmas. Well it's a gift that my mother's had before, and she loves it. Listen there's something really fun about opening a big wicker basket and searching through all the goodies that are inside. Actually I just spoke to her, she's a little drunk, well it's 6 there, yeah I know, still kind of early, but you don't know my foks and besides Thursday is there one "getting hammered" day, so it's all good. Anyway I rang to tell them that I was getting them a gift and asked what they are getting me because basically they're past gifts are fun, but not exactly gifts that I NEED. For example a Wallace and Gromit alarm clock for a 36 (back then) year old is cute, but kind of fucking stupid. And the hug tiger slippers that my mother sent me one year, were just re-gifted to a neighbors child the very next day. Who by the way squealed with delight.
So yeah I thought I'd kind of call and get a feeling for what they'r sending me and I'm glad to say that they haven't done anything yet, so I spent a few minutes steering my mother in the right direction. Fingers crossed huh?
Of course she asked if I was getting nana anything? which usually I do, but to be honest unless I get all my checks real quick, then it's not happening, money is tight, blah blah blah. But really what doe you get a 96 year old woman? She only ever asks for a new house coat, SHE HAS 6 of them, all brand new, all from me, WEAR THE WOMAN. What is she waiting for Prince Charles to pop round for a cup of tea? She's great my nana, makes me laugh.....I'll get her something, I always do.
Right then well I'm going to turn the grill on in my kitchen to warm up, because it's freezing in here then go uptown, so I'll be back tomorrow. OOh yeah just realised we have The Fantastic Four to watch tonight....EXCELLENT. Then again there's one of Stephen's friends is having her book signing tonight uptown somewhere around 8pm and I know he feels obliged to go, so I KNOW he's going to spend the evening trying to persuade me to go to....
I don't want to, I really don't, it's cold and nasty outside (by the way as I'm typing that last line I'm doing it in a girly, pathetic, 6 year old's voice)...yeah, whatever.
