Shopping from home tonight

by

You’d never know it, but I’m shopping right now … yep, I am. The great thing is- it’s cold outside and I didn’t even have to dress for the weather. I’m doing all my shopping online tonight.

I’m trying to get a little bit of my Christmas shopping done. I’m not sure how successful I’ll be, but I do think that I found an interesting gift idea for one of my nephews. Whenever he comes over he always has his things and his laptop in a ratty old knapsack and I think it might be a good idea to get him one of these jansport backpacks I’m sure he’d love it. Yes, I might just get that for him.

Now if only I could think of what else to get for everyone else on my list! Just after Christmas I’m going to be going to see my brother and his girlfriend and I haven’t seen them for quite a while. I’d love to get them something special but I have no idea what they’d like. I know, I’ll give them a call tomorrow night and see if I can get some ideas from them – carefully of course.

How are you doing as far as buy gifts on your list goes? Are you done yet?





I wonder how my brothers business project is going?

by

I meant to call my brother in Vancouver this weekend. I’ve been thinking about him lately and I’ve been wondering how he’s been doing.

You see, he’s been very busy the last few months getting a business started. Actually it’s a mine. He’s a geologist and the mine he’s trying to get up and running is a project he’s been working on for something like 15 years. He’s spent years talking with government officials in Canada and the US, natives because the mine is on native land, and doing environmental studies to make sure that the mine doesn’t do any environmental damage – in fact since he’s starting up an old closed down mine he had to clean up the old mine first.

He also had to get a lot of funding for the project. He’s spent years getting millions and millions of dollars in investment money for the project with everything from business funding to private investors. Now that the project is just about to open I’m sure my brother is quite proud and likely excited to see it get started.

So … I’d better make that phone call! It’s too late tonight, but maybe tomorrow evening. Of course with my luck he won’t be home – he’ll be on site.

What would you do if you won the lottery?

by

I almost never buy lottery tickets. In fact I didn’t buy lottery tickets this week, but my husband did. The lottery Max draw tonight is worth something like 30 million dollars!

Oh what I wouldn’t do to win even one tenth of that! It would be wonderful! All of our friends and family would be treated to a wonderful party and I’m sure we’d try to treat a lot of people (family) to things that they need.

By this I mean if we won enough money we’d pay off the rest of my sister and brothers mortgages and my husbands brothers and sisters mortgages too! Things like that. Maybe we’d even get everyone some of that Branson real estate that I keep hearing about all the time.

What would you do if you won the lottery?

Ok .. keeping my fingers crossed! and toes …

Finding a Father’s Day gift

by

My husband is trying to figure out what to get his father for Fathers Day. Yes I know, it’s a little bit late to be searching for a present, but not too late!

His father doesn’t have a lot of hobbies so that doesn’t help. He does love hockey though, so we might get him some hockey DVDs – like classic games and things like that.

My husbands brother was suggesting that we think about getting him a radar detector – maybe a whistler radar detector. I’m not sure if he’d use it or not. We might get it … I’ll have to check it out a bit more though. Have any of you tried using one of these? Did you like it, were you happy with it?

So much running around to do tomorrow – not fair

by

I’ve got so much to do tomorrow.

This weekend there’s something going on in Toronto called Open Doors. Since I had a lot of work to do on the computer I got my husband to agree that we’d do Open Doors tomorrow. Of course that means that we’ll really be running around!

I also have to get some shopping done. That includes getting some grocery shopping as well as getting some Beads for a kids party in a week. Stores close earlier on Sundays around here as well so I have to get most everything done by about 5:30p.m..

I also still need to write back to my brothers and sister about setting up video chat. I have no idea how to do that, but I guess I’m going to be learning in the next day or so because my family wants to start video chatting. Should be interesting!

Busy busy busy!
