I started the day off yesterday at Walmart picking up Scotch removeble hangers for the meeting room at the Canyon Country Library. There isn't a hanging system installed and since I wanted to hang garlands and pictures on the walls, I opted for the Scotch solution--what a fabulous time we live in! Ten years ago I would have been out of luck.
I headed for Canyon Country Library, spent about an hour and a half putting up the wall decorations, then I had luch at Baja Fresh. The manager remembered me from the many lunches that I had there when I was manager of the library. He is such a friendly guy.
After lunch I headed for the Goodwill to do my normal checking to see if there were any bargains to be had. Indeed there was. I got the final piece of art for my apartment. It has three French shops. I don't think it is a real oil. I think that it has been scanned onto canvas and then touched up with oil to give it some texture and dimension. When I was checking out one of the customers, oohed and aahed over it, lamenting that she missed it. She even took phone photos of it so that she could show her artist mother what she missed.
The tea party was a success. People always seems to say that I should become an event planner and that I missed my calling. I enjoy it as a hobby and I always get nice satisfying compliments that make me feel good. When you do it as a job and people are paying for it, they tend to be picky and sometimes they get very testy. I wouldn't want to walk into the landmine profession of event planning at all.
In the evening I walked over the Lee's Wine Bar, they have trivia night there on Tuesday's. A couple of weeks ago I stumbled on it when I had the odd Tuesday off. I usually work late on Tuesday, so it wasn't an option. But I had such a good time, I am switching my evening shift so that I can become a regular. Finally, I am widen my social network some. We won a bottle of wine last night. My team--Dale and I--came in second place. It was a very smooth Castle Rock Pinot Noir.
