Boxing Day

Today was so much fun. We slept in til about 9 and then turned on James Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies.  We kept saying we should get up.  By the time we got serious about getting up here was only about half an hour left so we just finished the movie.  It was about 2 pm by the time we were ready to go out.  We headed up town to deposit my work cheque and to hit Pricesmart because its right across the street. While at the bank we decided we'd go to the local coffee shop and have a drink.  I had a turtle latte with soy milk and Dave had a regular Black Forest latte.  They were both delightful.  After we were done harassing the girls there (we knew both of them) we headed across the street to Pricesmart where we saw more people we knew. Dave picked up some stuff to make his meat, cheese and cracker plate for tonight and then we headed on. 

I hadn't found the buns I was looking for so we headed to Safeway.  There they had a Buy 10, get 100 airmiles special on, so we spent $30 and got 100 bonus airmiles. A good deal in our books.  Grabbed the buns and continued on our way. 

Despite our reservations we went to Walmart.  Didn't really want to go but Dave did.  I remembered while we were there that I needed a zipper to complete a gift so we grabbed one.  I also found hangers at 10/$2 so bought some more of those.  We got one tin of Werthers, mainly for the tin and headed out.  The lineups were pretty good, considering we have had worse times in there in mid-May.

Came home and I quickly started working at finishing a gift for our friend.  I made her Sack Boy for Christmas.  We like to go over there and play Little Big Planet 2 and I thought this would be a fun gift for her.

After I was finished we grabbed our stuff and headed over.  Another friend of ours was there with her mom.  Our other friends that were supposed to come couldn't because their baby was being evil today.  Their words, not mine!  We like visiting their because they have a lab and she is so much fun.

We had dinner, a lovely turkey soup which our hostess had made and followed that up with homemade Chocolate cheesecake while was amazing.  After we had eaten we played Creationary.  So much fun.

After we played Creationary, we moved on to a Disney version of Little Big Planet.  Fun but a little confusing.  After we had played for a while our friend and her mom left.  We tenatively made plans to get together and make tshirts.  Should be fun.

After they left Dave and our friend tried out a game on the PS3 where you put yourself into the scene.  Not really her thing.  So we played with her dog for a bit.  At one point, I had gotten down on the floor to wrestle with Bailey and she was getting a little rough so I took of my glasses and tossed them on the couch so they'd be safe.  We Bailey thought that was great fun, grabbed them and took off.  Oh my word!  I laughed so hard as our friend chased her around and around trying to get them back.

Tired...  Glad I still have tomorrow off.  We're heading out to DC because I have an appointment.  Not, and I mean really not, looking forward to it.  Scared.

Anyways, G'night!
