Disaster Zone

Today was a day for getting things done. Making calls, doing some cleaning, etc. The desk arrived around 11am and of course I was too anxious to wait until tomorrow for Keith & I to put it together. So I started clearing everything off the current desk, and piling it all on the dining room table. Next, I moved the old desk out of the way and started to open the boxes of the new one. At this point all of the assembled desk pieces, flat packed pieces, and my old desk are jammed in the dining room. Oh well.

I get started and get some of the way - really not far, until I realized I need to use a drill. A drill! Me with a drill! Dear God, this isn't gonna be pretty! I used, and when I say used I mean held, a drill years ago but have never needed to use one so I never learned. Well, today was my day to learn. I hauled Keith's fancy drill out of the closet and went to work reading the instructions. I knew how to put the drill bit in and turn it on but that's about it. I attempted drilling but learned later that I need more strength behind me to drill through this material. Oh well, at least I tried. So with that, the desk was left spread all over the floor. What a mess!

Speedy & Rachel came over for the evening. Actually, Rach stayed here with me while Speedy & Keith went to Ferg's to watch the rugby game. While they were gone Rach and I ordered pizza and chatted. This was our first pizza experience since we've been here. Mostly because the ingredients on most of the pizza are bizarre. Who eats tuna and sweet corn pizza? Corn does not belong on pizza! However, almost every combo they listed had sweet corn. Strange! And the only sizes to order were 9" and 12". The biggest pizza is only 12"! I wasn't really thinking about it when I ordered them and was shocked when the delivery guy came with these little boxes. Wow, a 12" pizza doesn't go very far...especially when Keith & Speedy come back for some. It wasn't anywhere close to as good as Pizza Time in Eastern Passage but it'll have to do I guess!
