TGIF: LET'S JUST KISS & SAY GOODBYE

i'm gradually shedding the past,
home decor wise,
that is...
recently,
it was my metal bed;
now it is my behemoth of a microwave oven
my dad gave me for my first appartment,
ages ago.
i guess they didn't have the notion of what compact meant back then.
it was all about the performance,
even if it occupied half the kitchen...
but i know they built them strong,
as the thing just wouldn't die!!
this BEAUMARK appliance performed admirably,
and still does to this day...
but i've always wanted to regain some counter space.
a legitimate wish, no?!?
but i was kindly waiting for its natural demise...
no such luck!!
so,
when i saw in the window of a local shop
a RCA microwave oven for $70,
metal finish with mirror front,
i thought:
"YUP!! come to papa!!"

i'm delighted with my purchase,
despite the sudden realisation this morning
that from now on,
i'll be seeing my tummy on the mirror door...
"well, good morning to you too!!"
i have fond memories of the RCA brand,
as this was my first mini color tv
that lasted me for decades,
despite being ridiculed for its small size,
and me dropping it during one of my many moves...
which actually helped it...
go figure!!
it still works,
from what i've heard from the buddy who picked it up!!
so,
i better get used to seeing my tummy on the microwave door
every morning
if this one lasts me as long...
now,
i have to ask the janitor to rid me of the old one.
thanks mate!!
you did a great job,
but it's [high] time we go our separate way!!
as a farewell song,
i thought of
"live and let die"
or
"another one bites the dust",
but as i didn't want to hurt its feelings...
i opted for something a tad gentler:
"let's just kiss and say goodbye".
alright!!!
i think i've done enough shopping for a while...
TGIF !!!
time to socialise instead...
OOPS!!
must not forget to pick up the wine!!
(promised, i won't!! how could i? it would be against my nature...)
say bye bye baby bye bye!!
:D~
