Yesterday I had planned a full afternoon of shopping with Dekker. However, the kid slept until about 1:15pm. If I really needed to, of course I could have woken him, but we were fine. Plus Brady would be off work around 3pm and would be able to meet us and help with the big stuff like the grocery shop. We got to the city around 2:30.
Before we met Brady, I revisited my old job and dropped some things off. It was nice to see my boss and show off Deks a bit, since he is just so charming 🙂 From there, I went to the nearest Telus location to talk about my phone. I got an iPhone about three weeks ago and it has been temperamental and cranky since I got it. The menu button sometimes turns the screen off, it’ll boot me out of facebook, it won’t find our wifi signal on its own, it’ll vibrate for no reason, etc. All things I could live with if I’d had the phone for 2+ years. But I bought the insurance for a reason! So I’m thinking I need to swap it out. Turns out I needed to have brought in the box and chords, and I didn’t. I forgot! So they ordered me a phone and I’ll just go pick it up in a couple of days. But while I was there, I saw their new promo plan for Christmas. ANYONE WHO USES TELUS NEEDS TO GO CHANGE THEIR PLAN NOW! We were paying $55 for 1GB of data, unlimited texting, unlimited everything to 10 numbers, and then all the normals, like voice mail, called ID, etc. NOW we have all the same stuff for the same price, except instead of 10 numbers, we have UNLIMITED nationwide calling! So NOOO more long distance charges for me, living so far from everything! The local minutes never did me any good and now that doesn’t matter! I’m so pumped 🙂
From there, I went to Bootlegger and bought a cute dress for Christmas. Brady showed up around that point and we headed out to Walmart, where I bought Brady’s last Christmas gift, a dust buster, and some yarn for some upcoming orders. To Karla and Anthony, I cannot find charcoal ANYWHERE!!! But I’m working on it, I swear! Its not out of my mind, it just may not happen right away. Sorry! After Walmart I went to get my legs waxed, and Brady entertained Deks and filled him with crackers while they waited. Then to Superstore, where we got EVERYTHING including Dekker’s last Christmas gift. And then Costco, and then home. (Good thing we bought that huge box of frozen chicken. It’ll keep our other unopened huge box of frozen chicken company. Sigh.)
It was actually a pretty busy day, and poor baby didn’t get any naps. But he was such a trooper! When we got home, he ate a huge meal, drank some milk, and was down for the night. Its now after 10am and I have only heard him talk a little bit when Community Living called before 9am and woke us both up. But that’s another story.
Once Dekker was asleep, Brady and I finally ran a bubble bath, poured ourselves our first eggnog of the season, and rested. It felt amazing, and my toes were pruney in just a couple of minutes. Clearly they missed the tub too.
Now onto cleaning up a weeks worth of unrinsed, unsoaked, filthy dishes before company comes! Looking forward to catching up with a high school friend 🙂
Your chicken comment made me laugh. We had a running joke about cocoa powder here for a while…somehow I had about half of a big opened container from costco and ended up buying two more in a very short period of time! And I wasn’t even pregnant yet haha. Want to swap cocoa for chicken? 😉
Hahaha! I’m glad I’m not alone in my insanity! And I will definitely swap cocoa for chicken, as long as your cocoa powder cost roughly $30. Deal? lol! At least you’ll never run out of chocolate!
If you can’t find charcoal then I am good with Black. I was even thinking that maybe black would be better (unless you have already bought charcoal) because I do have a black jacket, black mittens, perhaps there is a trend here?
I have black on hand so I could easily do it! But I do still need to find charcoal for another order so if you prefer that, let me know either way. But black I have. Up to you!
