Our day...
I had some errands to run today and so I promised to take Abigail and Sam to Petsmart to see the animals and they got to choose a treat for Amber and Rosie. They love going there and now its so close! We watched the hermit crabs and fire-bellied toads......the albino mouse....and Sam fell in love with a little white dove! There was even a cat named Jane that needed adopting!
Sam and Abby chose a craft each to paint and thats what they're doing right now - at the table painting porcelain pigs!
Its Friday YAY! Not sure what the weekend holds exactly as all our plans can be changed....but the main plan seems to be movies tonight....drop Laurie at his friends in town.....tomorrow Ice on Whyte....the rest of the weekend is free.....
Tonight there is an online crop at scrappershaven.ca which I was supposed to attend but that means I won't see Lloyd all evening and I'm not sure I want that...but I'm not sure I wnat to go to the movies either.....maybe we'll sit in Starbucks for a while and then I can scrapbook for a while too....oh who knows....lol!
I'm tired today. I feel like curling up at home with my new book instead......

Hope they are safe....
Ambulance and fire truck rushed up Hwy 14 a little earlier....the roads are pretty slippery in places today. I hope all involved in whatever it was they were rushing to are ok.
I stopped at a stop sign on 17th street earlier...and didn't stop....car kept sliding into the junction...there was a mni van coming towards me and it was all a little surreal...slow motion....thankfully I stopped short of the van.....I wasn't even doing 20.....maybe not even as I had only just turned onto the first road and then came to the stop sign so I dread to think if I had been doing 50 or whatever that road allows!
The roads ouot here are much better than in town....the junctions in town are so slippery in places! It's deceiving!!

On the subject of birthdays....
Help me decide where to go for my birthday dinner next week.
I am trying to decide between:
La Ronde - (I hear its a wonderful experience and a lovely way to see the city (the restaurant takes an hour or so to turn 360 degrees) but have heard some say the food isn't great.....but then I have different taste in food to most Canadians it seems so I may enjoy it) www.chateaulacombe.com/laronde.php
Ruths Chris Steak House - Lloyd has been once before for a business lunch and brought me a cheesecake back....I wasn't impressed with the cheesecake at all BUT Lloyd says the atmosphere in there is worth going for.....he liked his food there. www.ruthschris.com/
The Creperie - popular and more casual. www.thecreperie.com/
La Boheme - French food in a haunted restaurant. www.laboheme.ca/
Lloyd doesn't mind.....it's our wedding anniversary and then my birthday so we want a special evening :) and he said that we'll choose another restaurant for his birthday in March....but which do we pick this time???

Long phone calls....
I love my friend Samantha to death lol but when I get talking to her on the phone we just never stop talking! Over an hour and a half last night!!!!! When I got off of the phone the children were already in bed!
Still, it made up for the fact that I didn't get to chat to her yesterday morning.

I thought this article was interesting......I do agree with the fact that this need for STUFF doesn't make people very happy.....brings debt and stress and unhappiness most of the time....
I'm working through Sara Ban Breathnach's 'Simple Abundance' again this year and it reaffirms my feelings.
