Saturday is not a weekend for me!

1) work
2) add petrol
3) buy sports shoes
4) find 2 things that represent me for tomorrow

that was the to-do list this morning when i work up. i had every great intention to accomplish it but only managed 1) and half of 4).

at first work was quiet, it did feel kinda strange being a saturday to be sitting on my bottom rather than running around and avoiding little kids! so i committed it to God praying that He would bless us with customers... almost INSTANTLY, groups of people came rushing in, so fast that i didn't even have time to respond to the sudden change in atmosphere! they filled tables after tables until there were none and had to wait around standing! i really thank God that everything today went by smoothly, although there were some delays but we had lovely patient customers :) i also thank God for karen n yeebuor's safe return from china. they truly have been a blessing, they are such willing and trustworthy workers that came in time of need and have been with us for the past years. i think i might be a little sad if they had to leave at the end of their studies!

stevo rang me in the afternoon asking me to purchase some european pillowcases, i only had 1 hour till 5pm but managed to searched through kmart, myers (made a little stop over at temp, novo, amart and footlockers). in the last 10 minutes i thought i'd give target a go, there were plenty of styles to choose from (on sale too!). i chose a beige with embroidered flowers (for me) and a white with green lines (for stvo), but just as i was about to leave i found a 2 pack european pillowcases on sale for a mere $2.86 from $29.95?! how can i walk away from that! i was in disbelief and gave myself a pat on the back for such a good find. the problem is, its white with polka dots. uh-oh... stevo's not going to like that, i thought. but i blame him for his absence, i figured if he was going to comment, i would shift the attention to the fact that if he prefers something else, then perhaps he should have been there to make his selections! with that escape route in mind, i paid and left pretty happily.

when stvo saw the pillow cases, he simply said "i hate you", then he laughed and after dressing the pillow in its new case, he was very content. i didn't need my backup plan, he thought it was a bargain too! now he's lying on it watching anime, hee hee, i say a job well done :D
