What a weekend. B and I went home, and it was great. My lab was cancelled on Wednesday afternoon, so we got to take off early. I was also informed on Wednesday afternoon, that Ang and Joe had made a change of plans and would be coming home too. We managed to squeeze in a little of everything this weekend.
We got home Wednesday night and visited Mom, Annette, and Dad. Then we went and met Ang, Joe, Nick and a couple of others at China Garden, surprise, surprise. Thursday we were good little children and went to the cenotaph for the rememberance day ceremony. I got into the Christmas spirit in the afternoon, and went to the craft fair at the civic center with the girls. Then Dad and I headed to the hospital to visit Grandmother, she's having heart troubles. We ran into Corey's mom Wilma and had a grand old conversation. In the midst of this activity I made a birthday cake for Ang; unfortunately unaware until we cut into it, it fell. Bah. I've never had a cake fall. B, Marcus, Ang, Joe and I all piled in the car and Mom drove us to Moron's for the traditional evening of trivia. It was dead! I had thought there would be a decent number of people out, I was wrong. Friday was all about shopping with the girls, and finished off with a big turkey dinner at Annette's...which Mom also attended, oddly enough Jamie and Nicole's baby Jensen was also there, Jacenta's friend was babysitting him. Saturday it was Mom's turn for the big shopping spree, which was spent solely at Winner's. Mur made us lasagna for supper by my request, it was delish. We took the weather lady's advice and rented a movie that night which we watched with Jon and Carrie. Today Mom fed us roast pork and shipped us off.
I don't have a whole lot to show for all the shopping. I did make some staple purchases however. I came home with two practical purses, one spring/summer, one fall/winter. I also picked up a great holiday shirt - burgundy sequined tank top. Most importantly I came up with a bunch of ideas for Christmas gifts.
Now I have to convince myself to get all my work done; just thinking about it is exhausting me. I got a good bit of sleep this weekend, but did little to no work.
