Stitching update + use your common sense! ;) (Nov4)

Well according to the website I get crazy holidays from, I have 3 choices for today:

National Chicken Lady Day

Use Your Common Sense Day

National Men Make Dinner Day

Today would have been a good day for me to use the common sense one, but in order to save my marriage, I will choose not to... LONG STORY!!!  I will however share a couple of pictures with you (taken from another blog).  Hopefully all of you have more common sense than these people!

The other two don't really interest me, but ladies, if you can use it to get a night off from cooking dinner... USE IT! lol

Last night on the ride home from work, hubby mentioned that he wanted to spare in the local bar dart league.  We used to play for this league, but politics wrecked it for me.  I said fine, go ahead and play, but I'm talking the might off too, so don't expect the dishes put away, etc.  He said no problem. 

After he left, I settled in for a night of TV and stitching on Paradigm Lost.  Well the TV was on, but not much stitching was done.  I was good and put the laptop away, but the iphone called to me for a bit.  I ended up playing angry birds more than stitching.  Oh well.  I did post a pic on my facebook before I started, but didn't take an after pic.

Well this morning at around 11:30am I am taking an hour off from work to get my hair done.  I have not had my hair cut in at least 2 months.  I am currently without a hairdresser and usually just go to the chain in Zellers for a hair cut.  A couple of weeks ago, my co-worker got a new hair cut and gave me her $20 off referral coupon.  I called the next day and booked with the same girl. I figure hey, the cut will now only cost me approx $15.

Here is the new do

I think I like it, - low maintenance and a little different

November 3rd - reason to celebrate

Last night I was a good girl and did 10 minutes on the Arc Trainer before doing my 45 minute "Goddess" Yoga.  OMG word is spreading about Nancy's class... if was a packed house last night.  There were times that this actually made keeping focus hard, but I tried.  Tonight I will be working on my last CGA assignment of the semester... oh how fun!

Now on to your reason to clebrate for the day!

Today is the birthday of John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich.  It is also National Sandwich Day!

Amazing to think where we have come from one 24-hour gambling event.  If you don't know, it was during said gambling event in which our dear John instructed his servents to serve him his lunch meat between two slices of bread!

One website I was at mentioned that hamburgers are the most popular sandwich.
Since subway moved out of down town Port Hope, if I need to get lunch out, I stop at a little cafe called C'Est Please and get their turkey sandwich.  It is served with a Mango Chutney, which is amazing!

One question though.... I wonder what Mr. Montagu would think of the new KFC Double Down?

Here is a question for you...

Have you tried the Double Down?  Do you want to ?
