The Wrath of Dawn
A good day
Today, I had brunch with a favourite friend, then we went shopping. I found a nice, inexpensive pair of black leather gloves to replace the pair I lost half of last week, finally found the kind of raincoat I've been looking for since last spring (replaces one bought in 1996. I do believe I've gotten the wear out of that one...), and finally found a small leather case just the right size to carry my point and click in (and for $5!).
She found a purse and best of all, we shopped for power drills.
I'm such a chick.

I prefer a cordless drill myself...
It's always a good day when you get to shop for toys...
You lost half of last week? I've done that, but I was very very drunk.
I need a new drill (I'm with Debi on the cordless thing).
I also need a raincoat, but I'm less likely to put the effort into buying one.
'mtuasxxh' - what Rik says when he wakes up after losing half a week.
Power drill?! I thought you were more of a chainsaw kind of girl...
*runs*
P.S. Do I ever have a glasses story for you, Dawn. We must have gone to the same chain of stores, because by golly...well, I'll tell you if you want to know...
Yes, cordless drills are cool, but also heavy and more expensive than it's worth if cordless isn't necessary.
I didn't really lose half of last week. I've just put it in a VERY SAFE PLACE. And you know what that means.
And YES! CHAINSAWS!!! RARRRR!!!
*ahem* Sorry.
Do tell the glasses story, Anna. Misery loves company.
Also? One of the lenses on my computer glasses was loose today. They go on the face, back in the case. I don't fall asleep wearing them or play sports wearing them. How is the screw already loose? Luckily, I was able to fix it myself because I AM NOT GOING BACK TO THAT OUTLET!
Women and Power Tools...just gotta love it !!!
Ok, it's a long story (one which includes Sponge Bob Square Pants glow-in-the-dark glasses) I'm emailing you at the email address that you have listed on Flickr (not Flickr mail, but the other one) : )
Dawn - here's a chick type of fix-it tip for ya:
Once you've got that teeny weeny fiddly little screw that hold the lens tightened up again, put a tiny little dab of clear nail polish over the head. Holds it in place and stops it from coming out again.
Works a treat on the set-screw found on a clarinet too.*
*This piece of advice might not be quite as useful as the preceding one.
Cordless drills are a liability. The batteries have to be kept charged, and they just don't have enough torque for the really hard jobs. Also : Don't get a Black & Decker, they're built down to a price, and they die pretty easily. I went through three building my kit car. Finally I just put out that bit extra for a Bosch. We're very happy together.
I recommend Makita power tools, but only because Stan Makita was my favourite hockey player. Decker was strictly third line, and Black never played a game in the majors. So go with the pros.
I has a chainsaw, and will challenge anybody to a chainsaw duel.
Women and power tools.... RAAAARRR!!!
I agree with the cordless drills having less power, but that would work for my friend's purposes.
Makita always reminds me of my exes' college roommate wearing a ball cap with 'Makita' on it. He couldn't handle a power tool without inflicting self-injury. Very funny.
Also, I'll take Dr. Teeth in a fight any time. RAAARRR!
@steve dix - I may go for a DeWalt this time. They're yellow. And supposed to be good.
@scary - you're on. Gas-powered thirty-year-old goodness vs. your electromathingummy any day.
