The Week of 26-30 August 2019

Weird Al was AWWWWWESOME!!! The kids loved it and we sang and laughed... so amazing. 
Down to my last week of freedom. Back to work on the 3rd. Ick. I mean, the pay is pretty good, but the hours... blech. Anyway, I'll suck it up until we win the lottery, right? Now... what did I do with that ticket...? It might be a winner!

Nanaimo

The Wolf has Missed Connections. It's the usual thing - you see someone and want to know them better, so you send your story to them here. If you're read on air, you're in the weekly draw for a $50 g/c to The View Oceanside Grill. 

They're still running the Rock Request Lunch for a $25 g/c to Smitty's. 

They've brought back Marshall's Music Mess on Tuesday's morning show. The prize is a free haircut from Tommy Gun's. Really inclusive prize you have there.

Win or lose, you still get the $25, but you won't be entered. Doesn't say what show, but it's probably at the morning show. Better brush up!

Get a new mattress! Listen for the Sweet Dreams song of the day (they play it three times/day) and all the people who call in during the song qualifies to win.

The Week of 19-23 August, 2019

I've been re-watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, just to get ready for the new Picard show coming. So awesome with the hair and uniforms... And of course, I've already binged the new season of Mindhunter. I read the books way back when I did my abnormal psych course so it's really awesome that they've made it into a show. And a really good show too. Very close to the books which I appreciate a lot.

Two more weeks before back to work. Ugh. This week should be interesting though - the family and I are headed to the Weird Al concert on Wednesday. I'm so excited as it's my kids' first 'real' concert. We picked a good one, I think!

So, let's try to win some stuff, k?
