SuperShopper Weekend

Who said it could be Christmas time already!!!!!!!!! Since I’ve been sick time has flown by and I am way behind on all of our decorating, buying, wrapping and baking. This weekend that just passed was a very busy one but it was a great shopping weekend.



Friday evening I went with Donna for a “date night” & late night shopping…woohoo Wa1mart is open 24 hr!! Donna & I went for supper and then hit the mall for about 3 ½ hrs, then off to WallyWorld for some shopping & laughs…we finally left there at midnight. One of our co-workers is leaving for Australia on Sunday so in honour of his trip here are pics of 2 very jealous girls.




Usually when Donna & I go shopping there is more laughing than shopping and tonight was no exception!! Thanks for another fun night!!

Saturday was another special shopping trip. Lisa & I have not had a good full day shoppy trip in approx. 9 years. So finally after being long overdue we made plans for a shopping extravaganza!!! We had a wonderful day together shopping, laughing, and reminiscing.

Lisa & I went to college together and then we lived beside each other for a few years. 8 ½ years ago Lisa & her husband Jeff moved approx. 1 hr. away. We still see each other occasionally but they are now proud parents to 2 beautiful & sweet girls and are a very busy family.

This was a very special day and I am hoping we can make it a bi-annual event…what do you think Lisa…a trip in the summer and a trip in the winter??

Here we are with some of our loot for the day!




Phew...I am still recovering after this busy, busy weekend but it sure was worth it!!

11 Months & Post Shopping Post

While I was off doing some extreme retail therapy this week, our 11th month LIDiversary has passed. I am glad to have those months behind us but the uncertainty of how many months are still ahead is … discouraging, at the very least. I know most of you know exactly what I mean. Not much else to say about it … it is what it is.


OK enough of that …


So I survived the Christmas Shopping and I got some good buys. Of course I still have some things that I will have to wait to get when we are closer to Christmas but this was a good start. Here is a peek at my Mom's car after 1½ days of shopping.



I’m glad we weren’t planning on going for any longer, lol!!


Here is a picture of some of the stuff I bought. I couldn’t take a picture of most of it because friends and family read my blog and I don’t want them to see their gifts. Most of the stuff in this picture is for kids, godchildren and friend’s kids. I also got my outfit for our company Christmas party, which was one of the main things I was looking for. Oh and of course … new shoes, lol!!

(By the way Darcie, I only had enough money for one pair of shoes so do you mind if we share them. I need them on Saturday night, after that they are all yours! LOL!!)

Bear with me for the next couple days as I try to catch up on all of your blog posts. My, my some of you have been very busy!! Back to work and reality tomorrow.

E x h a u s t e d ...

Too tired to blog ...




and my feet are killing me!



I hope I make it throught tomorrow!

Retail Therapy ~ 2 Day Marathon!

I am so excited! My bags are packed, my credit card has no balance and I am ready to shop till’ I drop!!!


Tomorrow morning my Mom and I are off for two straight days of MAJOR shopping!!






We try to do two overnight shopping trips a year and this is our Christmas trip. I hope I can get the majority of my shopping done tomorrow and Friday so that I am not running around like a chicken with my head cut off come the 23rd of December.














I am taking my laptop with me so hopefully if I am not too tired I will post again tomorrow night to let you all know how our day was. Otherwise I will post on the weekend sometime … between putting up our tree and decorating it!

Busy Week…time to breathe

Just wanted to let Lisa and Jeff know I am still thinking of them and their family. Their little girl, Kealey (in picture), had to be rushed to the IWK hospital last weekend; thankfully she is doing better now. I was really scared when I first found out though, thanks Jeff!

Thursday Larry was at Home Hardware all day fundraising and after work I went and relieved him. We did better than we both expected. I love being able to get out there and talk to people and answer their questions, as long as they are not totally ridiculous! We had a very good day and received lots of well wishes. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and supported us! Here I am, waiting for my next customer, lol!


Last night we went to Mandy’s 30th birthday party. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANDY!! We had lots of laughs and a good time. Here are some pictures from the evening. The only problem with the evening was the un-invited guests…June Bugs!!
I don’t think this needs any explanation but let me just say, I HATE bugs…especially in JUNE!!





Last Friday Larry and I went shopping in Halifax, here is my favourite purchase of the day…


Check out the ladybug embroidery!


I can’t wait to see “Maggie” wearing this!!

Ok now that the week is over let’s enjoy the weekend! Yeah!
