Weekend Review

I had an excellent weekend with a few highlights. Friday night we decided to take our "fur baby" for a car ride and go to our cities "Candy Cane Lane", which is about 2 km of house's on one street that have been known to decorate their house's really fancy and over the years has been named Candy Cane Lane. Although I don't think the people living on this street do as much as they have in the past and there are still a few house's that don't have lights up at all. But it is a free thing to do with your family in the winter and all they ask is that you bring a donation for the food bank. There are a few house's that still go all out and really decorate their place, which makes it fun! After that we went to see another house on the north side of Edmonton that has been known to light up the whole street, it was all done up this year too.

On Saturday I had to go give blood for all my blood tests, which ended up being a little hassle cause I didn't know where the clinic was. I also wanted to do a little more shopping for mat.

clothes but when I went to get my Visa I could not find it anywhere!!! :o I ended up grabbing a different Visa card that is suppose to be for emergencies only but I figured this was a good enough emergency!! ;) So as I was getting the 4 tubes of blood taken I was trying to rack my brain of where I had left my Visa, it is kind of a bad time of the year to loose your Visa! The last time I had it was when I was shopping with my mom last weekend but I never used it cause she bought everything! I did however convince my Mom that I should buy supper and I used it then! So I decided I would call the restaurant and see if maybe I had left it there and sure enough.... I had! So off I went to go get it, on the other end of the city close to my Mom's. I figured since I was in the neighborhood I would stop in for a visit with her. We ended up going shopping together but this time we went to Motherhood Maternity. It was a nice store but super tiny, but I think I bought just as much as I did at Thyme but for half the price! I did however like the way Thyme's jeans fit better but Motherhood had some good deals on t-shirts.

That's about all I did on Sat., by the time I go home it was pretty late. Sunday we went visiting and I got a little bit of house work done and tons of laundry finished! I can hardly believe that Christmas is just next week! I wrapped the small amount of gifts we have bought for the kids but I still need to get some tissue paper for the gift bags. I got on the scale this morning ... 179.2lbs - I suppose that's not bad, although I sure feel a lot bigger then only having gained 8lbs? Oh- My Mom also got me some "Preggo Pop Drops" when we were out shopping, they are really good. I'm not totally convinced that they reduce nauseousness but they are quite tasty!! :)
