Today, we are getting lots of rain and it’s 8 degrees out. Which made for a VERY slippery walk to my car. Water overtop of ice is no fun. So, I took very small steps and was able to make it to Zeke without mishap. Thank goodness! I’m hoping since it’s so warm today, that all the ice on our driveway will melt.
I had a most excellent weekend. Friday night was my company Christmas party, which was lots of fun. This is my 5th year going, and the first one I was completely sober at ;) We had excellent dinner and hung out and socialized. We didn’t go out to the bars afterwards since I was tired and wanted to get home, so we called it a night around midnight.
Saturday, we braved the crowds and actually had a very productive Christmas shopping day. We even bought a couple things for the baby in there too ;) We now have our Christmas shopping 95% done, I just need to pick up one more item, which I am going to do tomorrow on my way home from work. So, as of tomorrow evening, we will be completely done our shopping, which will be great! No last minute scrambling this year!
Saturday evening, my mom came over for a few hours to do laundry since her washer recently died. So, that gave us a chance to catch up on things and she told me all about her trip. Apparently my dad just fell in love with Banff/Lake Louise and wants to go back next winter. So, we are tentatively planning a family vacation out there for end of December (between Christmas and New Years) next year - my parents, Carlos, me, and the baby. And perhaps even my brothers and significant others. So, if that happens, I will let you know Mrs. JB since me, Carlos, and the baby will definitely come for a visit with your family either at the beginning or end of our trip since we’ll be flying in/out of Calgary! Of course, this is all in the initial planning stages at this point, but I think it would be awesome. So, I will keep you informed of any developments Mrs. JB!
Here we are at another Monday. But after today, I only have 6 more days of work this year and only 16 days of work left before baby! That’s do-able!
This week, I have a pretty quiet week planned. I have my last prenatal pilates class tonight and then Thursday evening is our tour of the labour/delivery and maternity wards of the hospital. Other than that, I have my evenings free this week, which is really nice. I do have to do some baking on Wednesday evening, since I have a work potluck on Thursday and Carlos’ is on Friday. So that will be fun.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Yup, raining here too. Nice and warm. Supposed to get cold again this afternoon, which means icy roads this evening. Blah.
Forecast is calling for 11 degrees on Friday though! I love that, since I might take Friday off this week for some last minute Christmas stuff and to just take a break. I'm mentally tired still.
Hmmm... no rain here. Just highs of -26 to -22C. Brr!!!
