Dim sum and Antiquing!

We met up with Sebby, Lesley and Nolan this morning for some yummy dim sum. The two boys were dressed in their Star Wars shirts (too funny!)... and Nolan gave Jacen his birthday present! The moms and babies then headed to the Antique market (a place I'd never been to) for a lovely afternoon. I ended up buying two more tea cups to add to my collection! Thanks Les for teaching me the ways of the tea cup world. hehe.

My 1st Online Shopping Experience!

I've never bought anything online. I've always been quite hesitant due to security issues. I was reading one of my magazines the other day and there was a pair of gloves from the Gap that I saw that I wanted! I looked it up online, and sure enough there they were. I went into the Gap the next day to look for them, but the store was packed and the salesperson had no idea what I was talking about when I described them. Arrrrrgh!

The next day, Ron told me that the Gap was having a 30% off sale, but only on online purchases. I decided to take the plunge and buy my gloves online! Shipping is free for purchases over $50, so I added a pair of pants too! The problem was the sizes. Without trying them on, I wasn't sure what to get!

I put the order through on Monday, and I received an email on Tuesday that they had shipped it. And today, I got my order! Pretty fast considering free shipping is 7-9 days! I just tried both items on and they fit!! Whooohooo! It was definitely a great shopping experience (all done while Jacen was sleeping), and I'm now debating on whether to do my Christmas shopping online! :)

Food and Wine show!

I was lucky enough to have a day out with my girl Quel today! I managed to get a babysitter at the last minute (thanks Sarah!), so Quel and I decided to head down to the Metro Convention Centre to check out the Food and Wine Show! I've never been and now that I'm officially no longer breastfeeding, I wanted to take advantage of all that alcohol! It was fun!

I'm glad we got there early because by the time we were done with all of our sample tickets, it had gotten so packed that I felt like we were at a huge bar. It was dark and there was music playing, and it was so hard to get through the crowds! People were dressed up too, in hopes of picking up and socializing with others, I'm sure. We were both a bit tipsy at one point (shown in those photo booth photos we took), but that's what happens when you're mixing drinks. The best thing I had was the Beef Short Rib from Brassaii. It was the first thing we ate, and we went back before leaving to have it again. Mmmmm....soooooooo goooood I could have eaten the whole tray! Thanks for a fun time Quel!

A Nursery Rhyme?

I was reading a few of the books from the library that I just got to Jacen this morning, and there was one that stood out which made me laugh, and I thought I'd share!

The book is called Hey, Diddle, Diddle and it's a compilation of nursery rhymes. This was the nursery rhyme I read that made me laugh after I read it: 

I like little pussy,
Her coat is so warm,
And if I don't hurt her,
She'll do me no harm.
So I won't pull her tail
Or drive her away,
But pussy and I
Very gently will play.

(dirty mind, dirty mind).

Congratulations to Saads & Raju!

The couple welcomed their baby girl: Samara Autumn Kaur this morning at 4:43am, weighing in at 6lbs. 1oz. Congratulations!! Jacen can't wait to meet his new playmate! (photo taken off of Facebook)

I'm a little tea pot...

I've had an obsession with tea cups since the day I came over to Lesley & Sebby's house. Lesley has a tea cup collection (a dozen or so of a variety of tea cups and saucers that are all different and unique) that I've always admired and ever since I saw her collection, I've kinda wanted to start my own!

There's just something about sitting around with your friends, and drinking from such a cute tea cup at high tea that I've always enjoyed. I went to the William Ashley sale today, and came home with these three tea cups and saucers! I couldn't resist... looks like my daily afternoon tea will now be a lot more fancier! :)
