playing catch up on blogging...

Wow, it’s been a busy few days. I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday, and I haven’t even blogged yet! Here are a few things that I’ve been up to since last week…

Auntie’s funeral was on Friday. I didn’t travel up to the interior for the funeral, opting rather, to stay home. But, apparently there were a lot of people there, and the service was really nice.

2 more magazines, and a box of frozen cookie "pucks" arrived this week. Compliments of my inability to say “No” when it comes to school fundraising programs.

I took my sister, and 2 of her kids out for Dim Sum. We had a really good time, and the food was great.

We spent time this weekend, rummaging through our Christmas decorations, and decorating the house. I took a box of old decorations to the Thrift Store to get rid of some of them. We still have to decorate the tree, but we are getting a REAL tree this year, so we won't pick that up until next week.

We picked up another 4 or 5 Christmas gifts this Sunday, so now we are almost done. I have a few odds and ends to pick up now, and all the wrapping to do, but I have it under control, and (best of all) under budget.

My Mom and Dad came for a quick visit one night. We had the house all decorated by then, so we were able to “show it off”.

A quick trip to my chiropractor one afternoon meant I was in the neighbourhood, and stopped at my favourite tea shoppe. Turns out… the guy that owns the tea store was going to shut down at the end of the year. But, now his son has decided to carry on the family business. *woohoo*!! I’ll miss Jitendar when I go and visit the store, but at least I’ll still be able to get my favourite tea!

We have another busy week / weekend ahead of us... but I'll blog when I can. I hope everyone is enjoying the build up to Christmas. I, for one, love the Christmas caroles in the stores, the decorations everywhere, the lights, and the radio stations that play Christmas songs 100% of the time. Someone pass the eggnog! Cheers!
