Woke up early and went for a walk with a friend. It was cold, but good exercise as we braved the slippery sidewalks. Then we all went to eat chinese dim sum at a new place. It was more expensive, but the dishes were very fresh tasting and they used pretty porcelain dishes and real tablecloths instead of plastic. The chopsticks were mounted on chopstick holders and there were separate coloured chopsticks for serving.
We checked out the newly renovated town library that opened today. The mayor was there along with a TV crew. It's nice and big, filled with new books and there were lots of people. We caught a clown juggling act and got some free 2008 magnetic calendar/memo pads with markers. They also had free cookies, hot chocolate and popcorn.
On the way home, we saw a poor guy on the sidewalk hired to wave store advertising near the mall. There was a 'Santa' holding a Christmas tree and waving further down the road, near a garden store. Now we're all tired, likely from eating too much dim sum. I usually try to stay away from the fried stuff, but everything (like the spring rolls) was so hot and freshly made. We exchanged gifts with my girlfriend and it got us into the Christmas spirit.
K has to study for a big music test. L has lots of homework and M is recovering from all the recent travelling. We filled up our gas tanks and got some milk, preparing for the big storm.
I kind of like shovelling the fresh snow and it's great exercise. Maybe if we go out every couple of hours it'll be easier. (-:
I found this video at http://allthatanda.com/, great commercial, so romantic.

ReplyDeleteHello Kreativemix,
ReplyDeleteWell, we're having a late start this morning, and lots of shovelling to do. I can't believe my husband went to the gym, I guess he didn't believe it was going to get so bad.
