Fun With Family

I wasnt really planning on going anywhere today. I did talk to mom last night about getting out to buy a gift for Gregg‘s 40th birthday this friday, but we didnt have any set plans. This morning mom called and said let’s go! So my sister Waltrude picked up mom and then stopped here and I jumped in the car and off we went.

We headed to Walmart to see what we could find. I found a great deal on a set of 3 Starfrit fry pans for 20 bucks. Usually 1 pan costs 20 bucks. I also found a pair of sandals that were 39 bucks regular but were priced down to 5 bucks! They fit great and will look good with jeans.

After Walmart we headed for Zellers and met up with my sister inlaw Gizy for lunch. I got my Jane lipstick and even got Waltrude to try out a new color, 2 in fact. Gizy took off back home, probably to jump in her hot tub. After we said goodbye we walked across the parking lot to the Shoe Company. Where all 3 of us found something we had to have. Waltrude found a nice purse, mom found sleek white shoes and I found cute red sandals. Regular price was 39.99 and on sale 29.99 and I used my points and go them for 22.95 including taxes. Not too bad!

This is the first pair of red shoes I have every bought. I like to stick to neutral colors, but I just could not resist these cuties. I did debate with my inner self for a while in the store. My sister and mom looked at me a bit funny. I finally gave in and did it.

After all the shopping we stopping at Costco for gas 1.29 L. is a good price. Then around the corner to the recycle depot to drop off an old monitor. Finally back here to kick me out and mom and Waltrude are still doing a bit more running around.

We did come up with a few ideas. We have decided that since Mom will have room in her new condo, we will be doing a ladies movie evening once a month. No hubbies and no kids. Sounds like fun to me! I will email all the ladies with the details and we can start doing this in September. Also  I was thinking we can do a “make-up” party. Clothing exchange party, and so many more parties. We will figure it all out.

Gregg and I were in Langley at the Convention Center last night at Word Camp. I found it very interesting and helpful. There were a few speakers that I have been following their blogs. Here is a list of the people that were speaking.

  1. Raul- Hummingbird604
  2. Gary- Bluefur
  3. Kulpreet- Kulpreet
  4. Rebecca- Miss604
  5. John- JohnChow

They all had very interesting topics. It was mostly about using WordPress.com. Gregg and I have been using WordPress for a few years now. I really like it. Its so easy to use. I got some great tips on how to make my blog better. I hope that I’ll be able to use all the tips. I didn’t mingle much with all the people. I wanted to , but my mouth has been so sore the last couple weeks that talking just makes it worse. I was popping painkillers throughout the meeting.

You can read more about WordCamp on Miss.604‘s blog. She was live blogging last night. I’m sure that Raul was doing it too. I’ll be adding all these blogs to my blogroll today. I hope they do the same for me.

I might be sick. I woke feeling like crap. stuffy nose, sore throat. Not a good way to wake up. Oh well…

Today my sister is taking mom and dad to Burnaby Hospital. Dad needs to get a bone scan again to see if his cancer has spread. He has been in a lot of pain the last few weeks. So much so, that he doesnt even want to walk. He moves from bed to his lazyboy chair. Mom has him on a higher dose of painkillers. I hope it hasnt spread to the rest of his body. If it has then he will be going thru a lot of pain right till the end. Mom has finally asked for some help from the health care unit here in town. She will be having a lady come stay with dad once a week so she can go out and do shopping and such. She needs the break even if its only one morning a week.

Let’s see, what else is happening? hmmmm… We have the fire department walking thru the building this afternoon testing all the alarms in every suite. Should be fun. Baby and Bunny run and hide and freak out. All the alarms are connected. Its going to be noisy today. I hope the weather will be nice this weekend. I would like to take the bikes out and go for a ride around Mill Lake Park. As long as I dont get too sick. Have to wait and see how I am feeling by then.
