| Well Christmas has come and gone. It didn't feel much like Christmas leading up to Christmas even with all the snow we got but it came none the less and gradually started feeling a little more Christmas like by the end. This year I got a cute penguin ornament, some ginger kitchen spray (inside joke), a gift card to East Side Mario's, an angel candle holder, a cookbook for slow cookers (did you know you can make cake in a slow cooker?), 3 pairs of pyjamas, a fuzzy robe, a knitting carryall filled with about 6 different sized straight needles, a shawl and hot chocolate (for a cozy night in), Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry's Big River Rescue, The Fib from Outerspace, The Rumour Weed, Happily Ever After, Lyle the Kindly Viking, a Michael's gift card, a Canadian Tire gift card, 2 Tim cards, Olive Pesto (very good), lots of chocolate, flannel sheets and quite a bit of money. With my money I got myself a Kitchen Aid stand mixer, Sleeping Beauty on BluRay, A Cinderella Story, Curious George (the movie) and Corsari (a fun pirate game). So quite a haul this year, lots of movies to enjoy. Oh I should mention my Boxing Day adventure. Nathan and I got up and headed out to Best Buy fairly early in the morning, it opened at 6am and we got there about 10 minutes before that. We parked at the mall across the street 'cause parking in the Best Buy parking lot is pretty impossible. Anyway so we stood in line for less than 10 minutes got in there it was pretty packed. Nathan found what he went in for and we took a look at the movies and games, I found A Cinderella Story for $6 so I got it. We got all we wanted and went in search of the dude with the balloons 'cause he was the back of the paying line. It was quite a long line, probably a good hour wait in the line would have been what to expect but right where we were waiting there was a dude at a little aisle register and so Nathan asked if he could ring us through and he said yes, so we didn't have to wait in that long line afterall. We got back to the car about 6:20am!!! Wow, 30 minutes for the whole ordeal, it was awesome, especially because no doubt people got to the store super duper early in order to be first in line and we got there 10 minutes before opening and got out 20 mins after opening. Nathan said he should have had a video crew following him to show people how Boxing Day shopping should and could be done. Then we went to FutureShop and picked up a couple of things there, that took a wee bit longer 'cause Nathan was paying with gift cards and apparently that takes a long time. But we were home before 8am. Took some time to put things away then went out to Breakfast with Mom, Dad and Nana, that was nice. Anyway that my story for now. Have a good rest of vacation, if you're like me, it's not overlong so enjoy what you have left and if you're like Nathan then enjoy your long time off. :) |
