Epic Shopping Weekend Replay

THE CLOTHES I DIDN'T BUY
 
Epic Shopping Weekend was a huge success. If you get the chance, going to Pointe Clair and then to Laval for a sleepover shopping weekend is the way to go.
We got to Pointe Clair at 8:45 on Saturday morning which was enough time to freshen up and scout out which end of the mall we wanted to start in.  Second store we went to was Nine West and the woman there was fantabulous.  I bought 3 pairs of shoes (2 on sale), Steph bought shoes and Cindy also bought shoes and a purse.  The day just couldn’t have started out better.  We got fabulous deals and such pretty Spring clothes (as you can see) and that was just Day 1.
After shopping we stopped at a Vietnamese restaurant for some very delicious soup for dinner and then drove to Laval to our hotel.  The hotel was great with the exception of the bird next door.  Who brings a bird to a hotel and why would they?  They don’t need to be fed, watered and walked like a dog does.  Strange but at least the bird went to bed early.  The breakfast buffet was great, lots and lots of yummy hot food, fruit  and tea and coffee.  We even took some fruit for out later snacks.
We got to the mall that was only minutes away at 9:30 which gave us way too much time to take picture of and with the gorgeous flower displays.  The Laval mall is the most beautiful while the Pointe Clair mall has more stores we love.  Mind you, we managed to do quite nicely at Simon’s in Laval (well, Simons did quite nicely by us).  Lunch was more delicious soup and some of our fruit and then we were ready for more shopping.
We finished around 3:00 and the drive home was pretty good.  We were grateful that we decided not to drive home Saturday with the snow that happened.  We were safe and warm in our lovely hotel room admiring our lovely purchases and having some yummy snacks.
I really enjoyed my weekend with Cindy and Stephanie and look forward to doing this again when the Fall lineup comes out.

Charlie Brown: I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn't have picked this little tree.

Oh but Charlie Brown you picked a fantastic tree and now my office looks so Christmas-y.  I could use a pair of gold sparkly shoes just like that one too. My day is going to be interesting I'm sure.  I got up late and, thinking I had an eye doctor's appointment today, drove in and was quite thrilled that I was only 15 minutes late getting in.  Turns out that the appointment is next Monday.  Now I get to pay $20 for parking for no reason.  Sigh... I got on the elevator with a woman this morning who had a Guitar Hero box and chocolates and cookies.  I told her that this looked like the best way to start a week and she agreed.  I wonder if I could convince the powers to be here that we should also have a "band day".  I could totally be a back up singer. After a fabulous wearing shorts bike-run yesterday with Jonathan, I was making dinner and went to open the oven door to check on the delicious chicken that was cooking and the door handle came half way off.  I he

Cows downtown today? I hope so.

Image
    There is a demonstration happening downtown today by the Dairy Farmers of Ontario.   I hope that they bring cows.   That would be amazing to watch.   I’m not sure what their issue is but I try to do my part by eating yogurt.   I apologize for not drinking as much milk anymore but I have switched to almond milk.   The last week has been filled with wonders, smells, sounds and, most importantly, new shoes.   My feet were very cold last week (but certainly not this week) because they are encased in running shoes that had ventilation in the toe so I went out and got a sweet pair of Converse high tops which keep my feet toasty warm right up to my ankles.   The problem I found though is that they are not good in the rain.   While it was not raining on my ride home yesterday I did get wet and the shoes are very slippery on the peddles.   I was stuck behind two guys for far too long (mostly because I forgot to take my new route so I can avoid the many, many ruts along the

Do birds yawn?

Image
That is my question of the day.  I saw a seagull standing on the Rideau Canal wall this morning and it looked like he was yawning.  Now I'm curious. I forgot to show you the shoes I wore yesterday.  It was a fabulous shoe day.  After an initial crack (and even I was a tad worried for a moment) my foot settled into the shoe and was quite happy for the entire day.  We won't discuss how it felt last night....that's a secret between me and my Advil. Like the shoes say "my feet looked fabulous". Today's shoes are a favourite from our last Pointe Clair shopping adventure. You just have to love living in Canada.  The weather was so different this morning than it was yesterday.  Yesterday I was sweating 15 minutes into my ride to work and this morning it felt like there were icicles on my fingers.  Lovely for biking though.  So many pretty sights to see this morning as well.  Seeing the hot air balloon in the sunrise was so pretty as long as you don&#
