I just won a spinning wheel on eBay. It was another of those things where I threw a low bid in early, and didn’t get much competition. But it’s cool cause it only cost about £115, when the retail on one of those new is about £300. And the seller is a hospice in England, so it’s going to charity.

My husband has tomorrow off work because he’s staying up all night to watch the Superbowl. It starts at 11:00pm here. And it doesn’t even have the proper superbowl commercials. Which is why I’ll be sleeping.

Just before posting this, I was having a poop and reading the Argos catalog. I can’t believe that today, in the year 2009, they still have their toy section divided into “boy’s toys” and “girl’s toys”.

Cause in this country, all girls are expected to accomplish is plopping out kids and working at a grocery store. It’s a little sick.

  3. Congrats on the wheel! If you go through fast food drive thru and get kids’ meals, those are boy and girl as well. I like for my boys to play with ‘girls’ toys though. I always liked boys toys.

  4. A spinning wheel…how cool. Now you and Jeanie can compare spinning tales. Maybe you can try to convince Neil of the necessity of a sheep now. Or maybe not. And that is rodent cuteness all over the place.

  5. I haven’t convinced him about sheep, but I have been dropping serious hints about angora rabbits.
