Wednesday Update
Hi all,
Been a busy week this week, shopping, more shopping, washing, visiting etc.
Saturday was shopping day, we went to Zellers in Shawnessy, to look for a changing table, we ended up picking one up. Took a bit of time to get it to the apartment since the box was VERY heavy. Well not to heavy, lets just say it would have ended badly for me if I had taken it upstairs. So we busted open the box in the car and took up bits at a time. As it turned out we had all the bits so nothing was lost in the transfer.
Sunday we went to Roanna's Mum & Dads, we took all of our baby stuff that needed washing ( I REFUSE to wash baby clothes in our buildings machines!! We got someone who works in a garage environment, & sometimes the washer is a bit funky...) So we brought some ivory snow for the baby clothes, and left it at the in-laws, hopefully we can visit and do the kids laundry once or twice a week... we'll see.
Anyhoo, had a little lunch, then came home, popped in a movie and assembled the changing table, only slight angries this time....stupid instructions!!
Now we are waiting for a burst of energy to move about three pieces of furniture, and that should be about that... I think all this hustle and bustle has finally upset Maxine, hopefully with this stopping she should calm down a bit, poor kitty.
Monday we drove to Banff to visit with Mark & Leanne, they were up from Bermuda to have a bit of a skiing vacation, I say a bit, I mean Mark does the skiing.
We wondered around town for a bit before finally deciding to have lunch at Salt Lick, where we go for the Christmas parties. Mark & Leanne hadn't been so it was new for them, both Roanna and I enjoyed it as well, they are a bit cheaper when you eat there for lunch....
Anyhoo, yesterday was back to work for Roanna, not much for me, just tidied up a bit and made a chicken dish for dinner. Watched the Flames lose (boo!!).
Which led up to today, not much, just housekeeping, keeping the litter box clean and some shopping across the streat.
I has warmed up now, though I think it is supposed to hover around the 0 mark for the rest of the week. Since I had to haul up more wood on Sunday to the apt, I am itching to have a bit of a fire. Though as usual in the Apt. after a cold snap, the place is a bit warm for a couple of weeks afterwards.
Anyhoo, everyone take care, I'll post some more pics after I upload them, here is a photo of the glider / ottoman we got last month, from toys-r-us. We brought the glider on sale, waited a week and got the ottoman on sale with money from Roanna's workfriends...
Take Care,Ian
