YES … BEE … CAN!

I thought this was pretty neat. So, university students in Toronto worked with professionals in the architecture, engineering and design fields on Tuesday November 11, 2008 to construct these amazing works of art. All made out of cans! The CANstruction annual event joins people together to support the food banks within the Toronto area. Absolutely marvelous. The neat little catch was, that everyone who participated were only allowed to use cans as design materials to construct and replicate these cartoony pictures.

All canned goods will be donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank.

Aren’t they beautiful?

These sunglasses were on my mind constantly, ever since I saw them in the Toronto store a few weeks ago. They had an online sale, 30% off everything regularly priced. However, they were sold out everywhere online and even on the US Website. I called Customer Service and asked them if they had any intention of ordering more stock. But once A|X sells out of something, it doesn’t get re-ordered. Danget!

Customer Service told me that only two places in Ontario still have them in stock: The Eaton Centre (with the lopsided glasses) and Yorkdale Mall. I got a hold of Yorkdale mall’s A|X manager and asked for my sunglasses be shipped to me, since they were all sold out online. Normally, sunglasses are excluded in the sale, but since it took 3 days for the Manager to actually get the sunglasses charged to my credit card and take all my info down (since they were so busy during the sale) I guess he let me have the 30% off + 10% off shipping.

So I guess they should be here any day?! yay yay yay!

Terrible, but addicting

My mouth is totally watering right now. I should treat myself, for supper tonight.

Fast food: So good, yet so soo bad for your body. Nobody wants McDonald muffin tops. Boyfriend and I absolutely live for McDonalds. We occasionally go there for supper when one of us doesn’t want to make supper. We don’t go like once a week or anything, even though it’s so tempting to.

I am however disappointed in their coupons which they mail out very infrequent. They’re not deals at all! Those two for one coupons or the free pop with purchase of an eleven dollar meal. Saving $0.50 isn’t much, for a mick-dee addict like ourselves. Stop being stindgy D!

Maybe I should write McDonalds and ask for some french fry coupons. I have yet to have a better tasting french fry anywhere else. Can you all agree with me on this one? I think so. It’s like, I almost want to open my own 24/7 franchise. Especially close to our apartment. The closest one is like a 25 minute walllkk, UP a hill! Could be motivation to actually to get those fatties a bit of exercise while going to eat fast food. Ahem.

It’s almost payday. My brain goes wild on the days I receive lump sums of money. Can ya blame me?
