An electrifying first

My list of firsts is going well. I started reading To Kill A Mockingbird on Tuesday. Wednesday i was supposed to watch Star Wars, as i have never ever seen any of them, but we owed about $996 at the video shop, so methinks it is time to join a new video shop.

My first yesterday was an interesting and completely accidental first, in that i got electrocuted. I plugged in my hairdryer as per usual, it made a funny whirring sound, sparked all over me, burst into flames....at which point i threw it on the floor and it went out, thank goodness. I now have a lovely oozing black wound on my arm....it's so pretty!

Anyway. Unsure as to what to do today. I'm going shoppping for stocking fillers which i am greatly excited about. And buy a new hairdryer.

Work is starting to get very busy and looking at my Christmas roster i won't actually see my husband or children the 2 weeks before Christmas. I have a fair few nights where i'll be working until midnight, which really sucks, and don't even get me started on why shops need to stay open that late......it baffles me. I'm really glad we'll be escaping Auckland for Christmas; i've a feelling i'll need to by then.

Hope you're all well in any case, love to all xxxxx
