Here Come more Holidays

Yesterday here in Canada wasn't Thanks Giving, but it was Thursday. Since yesterday was Thursday that means Today is Friday. It's not Black Friday but for some companies up here in Canada they are trying. Some of the stores have sent me Flyers (well I did sign up for them)and the sales are "better" than usual. It does make me wonder "why can't they just lower the prices over all through the whole year??" I'd never get a deal that way though would I?
Canadian Stores I've received flyers for are Canadian Tire, and Zellers. Walmart has been advertising in my ears via the radio, along with a local Electronics store, and Future Shop. I wont be buying electronics this year, I just can't because well Hubbie will. He lives for the stuff and so he'll get all excited and fork over dollar$ for anything that plugs or doesn't plug depending. He's getting better though, we don't have a cellphone or Cable TV.
I'm not even sure I want to go shopping this weekend, really it's still November.(denial?) I wonder if maybe I'm better off leaving Christmas in December but then again Advent starts Sunday? And Sunday is still November. 4wks is not long. No must not shop... well maybe just snow suits? The kids need them and if I don't put them under the tree in a month it's not Christmas shopping right? So no it's not Christmas shopping it's just shopping. ok So I'm JUST going shopping, not Christmas shopping yeah that's it. If I buy me a hair cut it's a ME outing right? Yes I think that's it. I'll just "go out for me" (and the snow suits)

BTW does anyone know why it was Foggy on Christmas Eve? Wouldn't it have been snowing?

When Good Cake goes almost Bad.

From Kyooty center

When good Cakes go bad! this is the side view of my Birthday Cake it was EXACTLY what I wanted. 1/2 of a Chocolate and Caramel Covered Cheese Cake with Brownie triangles and Walnuts Brownie Base. YUMMY! Now to motivate myself to work off all those calories.

pluses to this years cake

+ 1/2 vs the whole cake, it would be gone now surely
+ I didn't have to share much
+ I didn't have to throw any away because of the guilt because 5 people and 1/2 a cake doesn't go that far, especially when mine is 1/8th of a cake, or 1/4 of 1/2 a cake. work with me
+ I planned this cake,
+ I couldn't have the cake because I stuffed myself with Broccoli and chicken
+Birthday Cake is suppose to be shared
+ There are almost 52wks until I can do this again


negatives of this cake

-The Broccoli and chicken were Chinese take out
- The cake is gone
-My butt is back, no the cake didn't do it, but it was part of the assault on my butt.
-I didn't have room for the cake? so had to wait until Breakfast
-yes I had cake for Breakfast.. yes 1/8th of a cake for breakfast.
- there is no room in me for fruits or veggies today, still full of breakfast cake at 9pm
-Birthday Cake is suppose to be shared
-must work harder on the calorie balancing act
-might have to stop eating for the rest of the week.
-almost 52wks before more cake like this



mmmmmmmmmmmm cake ! OH but I did remember to take the pictures!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Just saying...

For me

Today for Me, I will clean the house from top to bottom. It isn't about my parents coming to visit after calling at noon that they would be here at about 7-8pm. I do this for me, because if the house is clean, I'll enjoy their company more.
Today I decided I will not be cooking supper? Why? For me, because the time it will take ME to clean this house from top to bottom is time that I don't have to shop for good food and cook good food. I'll leave that to someone else. Tomorrow I'll cook good food for them while I escape on a date with my Hubbie. For ME!!

Monday is my Birthday, I suspect this might be part of my mother's want to come and visit I'm her first, but I share my Day, I share it with both my youngest Brother and sister. Today and Tomorrow, it's Me!

Now I'm off to clean Me Toilets~! for me :)
