Today I decided to go to T & T Supermarket and it was so festive. Chinese New Year music playing loudy and so upbeat, lots of red and gold lanterns and decorations and the staff all dressed in Chinese silk tops. I bought some red envelopes, and some treats but now I am panicking a little because my house is a disaster mess and come Feb 7 I will not be bringing the new year in very auspiciously if I don't get some massive housework done.
Anyway, the morning and well pretty much the afternoon goes by so fast when just running errands. To the Bank for the Wings deposit, to the supermarket, stopped at work to see how one of my support groups is doing (women's friendship circle - for women who need a friendship group because they are of low income, single mothers, or want to offer and share as "sisters" to other women - I am a diehard sucker for trying to empower women to gather strength in numbers - I also offer them tea, and whenever we have sandwiches available leftover from Friday lunch that will have to be tossed on Monday morning, I want this group to help us enjoy them and take home you know as a favour to us) to Costco, then to Rona where Darcy bought 2 new snow shovels (I told him that now that he has two new shovels it will never snow again!), then we stopped at 7-11. I had 2 books to return to Cameron library and since I was in that area I thought I could finish getting the treats for the Valentine's goodie bags that Chrissy is making for Wings...what a nightmare it was at Wally-mart. I must have been in the line-up for 1/2 an hour..was tempted to abandoned my purchases but that would mean coming back...so NOT!
Then it was home to unpack everything and then Darcy rushing off to get to the Honda dealership to get his car looked at and oil change...(some light has gone off which means go to the dealership).
This evening, I think we are heading up to Helga's for dessert and wine. Both Roy and Helga have been owing Joanne and Bill their 50th dinner out so they are going to the boathouse and then we will join them after for dessert! This won't be hanging out with the boss or anything.....
