freebies and the japadog

It's sunny and beautiful outside and I am sitting in front of the computer writing this! I love sun, but lately I've been shunning it, especially between the hours of 10 am to 2. What's wrong with me? I haven't even been down to the beach, to beach myself and do some reading! Perhaps the urge to burn my skin will return in August.
Until then, not much else happening in this life of mine. Still lazy,
Okay, one point of interest. Last saturday I got a parking ticket. I was headed back to the car and that's when I saw the meter person. Damn! She just got me! So i plunked another quarter in and headed back to the store a friend was in trying some clothes on. Meter person happened to be in the store and I told her what had happened. She said that I could call a number on the back of the ticket and tell the rep that she said I could get a courtesy cancelation. It's a one time deal on the plate of your car. So, tip to all you 3 readers out there if you get a parking ticket. But don't go telling everyone,heh heh.
In other news, each week Starbucks has a pick of the week card of 1 song you can download free from Itunes. If I'm in a Starbucks, which sadly is more common than not, even though I'm trying to boycott them, I pick up a card. A new one is available each Tuesday. I feel it's my one way of getting something back from them for spending too much money there. Well it's kind of and really I'm not getting it from Starbucks but from Itunes, but free is good!
Oh, I finally tried a Japadog! For those not in the know, it's a Japanese hotdog that is over priced, but damn good!
The one I tried was $6.75 - I don't know, is that alot for a hotdog?? It had a mayonnaise type dressing, some sort of teriyaki like dressing and seaweed on top. I know it sounds kinda grim but it was delicious! There are freestanding locacations at Burrard and Smithe(picture above), Burrard and Pender and the newest location is at Coal Harbour community centre. I was down there a few weeks ago walking around and noticed the stand with no line up! Usually there is a huge line up so I've never tried one until I came upon their newest location. I swear, they'd make a killing if they'd open up a stand in the area I work in.
That's all for now. No real bitter news except the usual complaints- I'm fat, I hate my job, etc. Oh, I've also included a picture of my gnomes - all but one. I think the outdoor gnomes are jealous of the indoor ones, and the indoor ones are envious of the outdoor ones. I really do need to get a life.
