Thursday is a bit busier for us. School opens up once again and kids are back to school. Their luncheon was postponed last Wednesday so I don't know really what their plans yesterday. I just knew that they had the luncheon set for Thursday instead. That means they didn't go out for a walk to the Willowpoint. It's not advisable with this icy cold weather and the road and sidewalks are slippery. It's much better to stay at school which they preferred anyway. Great!

We're about to go out and shop yesterday when I heard knocking at the door. It was Tammy, the manager of the rows of houses in the street where we reside. She brought us a tin can filled with squares. Baked goods similar to nanaimo bars. The sweet squares have lots of bits and pieces of grounded nuts in it. Whew. She gave us a hug and greeted us Merry Christmas and then hurriedly went back to her 4x4 which is still running and the gas still "pumping." LMAO. She's nice huh and thoughtful too. Darn! I forgot to give her Christmas card. What a dummy I am. We're in a hurry too go shopping 'ya know. We have to buy the items that we saw on the local flyers and we want to get to the place real quick.

At the store, you betcha there's no sight or even a shadow of what we are looking for. The "Jazz" video camcorder is nowhere in sight. Grabe naman! They should have lots of stock for those kind of products. They have another video camcorder but not as good as what we are looking for. So sad. The clerk at the customer service said that the Jazz brand were sold out since Tuesday. It would be such a good gift for my son because he likes stuff like that. Next we're in Staples. I was looking for filter screen for my computer. The clerk said they had one before but probably London drugs have them. Staples should have them not London drugs. You know when it comes to everything like "electronics." Bought couple of memory stick and card for my digital camera. I need lots of them in super mega and gigabytes. I love photography and snapping pictures keep me happy for the time being. It is one fabulous hobby that keeps the stress out. A form of relaxation for tired and weary mind. Shopping helps a lot too that's if you have the budget allocated for shop 'til you drop. Which happened when I was young and not thinking about anything else but me. Now that I'm a Mother of three kids who are wishing for too many things in their wish list, my hopes and dreams are gone forever (?) in time. Oh my God soooo dramatic!
