Shopping

Okay, today was the best shopping day ever. I went just to get some pictures printed and thought to myself "hey, it'll be fun just to look around while I wait for pictures to be printed." Boy did I hit the bargains. Sears was doing "Christmas in July" and while in the store they announced that racks of merchandise was brought up that contained items for only $5. Well, I just had to check that out to see if I could find a deal and boom, a deal was found.

The best part was that when I got to the check out I received at additional 25% off. Yes you read correctly an additional 25% off. So that means that this jacket/blazer which was originally $50 only cost me $3.75. The bonus part was that on the way to find a register that wasn't overburdened by the rush of shoppers with their sale items, there was a table with shoes for $2.99. No one can ever have too many shoes so you must always stop to see what is available. Well wouldn't you know it there was a cute pair of maryjane keds in just my size. I tried them on and checked the box to make sure they were really only $2.99 and they were.

Once again the best part was that I received an additional 25% off these already reduced pair of shoes. They ended up costing me $2.24 plus tax of course. Can you believe it? What an amazing fun shopping day.

Registration

I just registered for classes this week and boy was that disappointing. Due to "budget cuts" or sabbaticals, not as many classes are being offered and so that means that the ones I was hoping to take are not available this year! That sucks! So I'm venting a little because I didn't get the classes I wanted and that will mean having to work harder at classes I didn't really want to take but must to fulfill the requirements to graduate. The other problem was that they didn't have what was being offered up until a couple days before so then all my pre-planning was for naught and that built up excitement for getting the classes I wanted lead to a major let down. I'll let you know how the classes actually fair as time goes on. Maybe it will be for the best.

Moving the Baby...

My baby sister moved on Canada Day. Great way to celebrate the birth of our nation with a new home.

Here Toshina sits in the living room of her old apartment eating breakfast while Dad, Mom, and Brian were driving those busy streets of Toronto to get the moving truck. A shout out to those that came to help as we were able to make a "chain" to move the boxes out to the truck quickly and efficiently.

We were able to use the "chain" technique at the new place as well and so with a start time of 11 am and a finish time of I think 2:30 pm that was great. The only crazy part was when I slammed my finger between the island and the door frame. Don't worry I took a picture, but by the next day you could hardly tell...

Funny that it bruised the knuckles above and below the smash site. Go figure! But I'm sure you'd rather see this next picture. Toshina and Brian's new place.

It's the window on the ground floor. We stayed as long as we could to help Brian unpack as Toshina had gone to YW camp. We got some of the kitchen unpacked and then had to go. But Neil and Dan were still there helping Brian get unpacked. (Working on the electronic stuff - TV)

This is the kitchen before unpacking...can you spy my mom?

And this is after. That stack of boxes is empty just had to be saved for someone else who needs them. I think my body has stopped being mad at me for doing so much physical movement without warning it or preparing it. Wish all of you could have been here to play with boxes too but then there would have been no where to park on their street anyways so it's alright that you didn't come. But Carma does receive a demotion for not helping her fellow minion....
