I have a lot of shopping to do this weekend

by The Diva

If I’m going to do any shopping this weekend it has to be on Saturday. Why? Well, we’re expecting a huge snowstorm on Sunday and Monday and I have a feeling that driving conditions will be pretty bad on Sunday, so I think it’s best that if we need to get out and do anything we’d better do it on Saturday.

So … tomorrow is shopping day. Man I have a lot of stuff to get and I have to pack it all into one day too!

I need to get some Christmas presents for the younger kids in my family, and I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately so I need to get some cooking supplies like uh … chocolate chips, flour, vanilla and things like that.

I also need to find the time to buy some clothes. I need new clothes and I’ve needed them for a few months now. Ever since I started losing weight in September I’ve needed new clothes. I’ve gained a few pounds back in the last few weeks but I’m still about 10 pounds lighter than I was in the summer and that means my current clothes are still loser than they should be. I could use a new pair of apple bottom jeans if I can find them on sale.

Hopefully with all that I have to do this weekend I’ll find time to get a little clothes shopping in, but I’m not sure that I’ll get around to that.

What are your plans for the weekend? Are you expecting bad weather this weekend too?

Time to get out the Christmas Decorations?

by The Diva

We got our first real snow fall here in Toronto this week. I guess we have a few inches of snow on the ground and we expect more to come before the week is over. I guess we’re lucky compared to some areas near us who happened to get several feet of snow!

I think the snow actually made me have a bit of the Christmas spirit earlier today. We haven’t decorated the house for Christmas for about 6 years, but earlier today I seriously thought about pulling out our Christmas tree, Christmas decorations, the garland, lights, and of course our Christmas wreath.

Who knows .. maybe this weekend I’ll dig out all of our decorations and start putting some of them up. It’s been years since we’ve decorated so it would be a big change, but a nice one if we do it.

A sure sign that Christmas is coming

by The Diva

Oh oh … I just got a sure sign that Christmas is coming.

My husbands sister just sent the annual email with all the updates on the kids, questions about what kind of get together we’re going to have at Christmas time and the questions about what to get mom for christmas.

She always wants to go in on a group gift. I’m not sure why? It’s nice every once in a while when there’s something really special or perhaps something very expensive to buy as a gift, but not every year! I kind of like picking out my own gifts and not always having everyone sign their names on it. LOL

Anyway … are you ready for Christmas yet? Did you buy you gifts yet?
