Whiiiine.
I would do so much more internet shopping if I didn't think people were generally soaking me on the shipping.
F'rinstance - I really want this fabric for the baby's room, but I can't find anyone to ship it to me for less than $10 US.
And I want to buy some snaps from someone in BC - but she wants $12.00 in shipping on $7.50 worth of snaps - and frankly, even if there are 100 of them, they are not *that* bulky or heavy. (There's a US company that will send them for less than $4, but I wanted to support my countrywomen, you know?)
Anyway. Blah.
Today is my Shower! That should be exciting! Or scary, depending. I think overall exciting. Then on Monday after work John and I are getting a couples massage and pedicure. I think it will be lovely!
We almost bought a cardboard moose for the wall last night too. We were killing a little time in Carbonstock, a little eco/nifty joint that was next to the restaurant we were going to visit for a date night - because it will be a while before we get to do more coupley stuff...
We went to Bear, the new(ish) restaurant of favourite Gio chef Ray Bear. It was as spectacular as we hoped, even if we didn't have any wine with dinner - oh it's going to be nice to have just a little wine with dinner. I had some amazing king crab sushi(yay for cooked seafood) and this huge, divine, plate of lamb with beet and sweet potato purees that were just the essence of both and this cheesy-sweet-potatoey tart kind of thing that was so savory and delicious. And then my stomach was crammed full :)
It was so nice to be out! And then I went to bed.
Haha.
