So instead of having a Cyber Monday, we are having a holiday on Monday. This Monday will be New Brunswick day. Now for most of the folks in our province, this means that we have an extra day off. Well not in our house. My husband is on call this weekend and still has to work. So although it’s a holiday, we still won’t get to do much of anything. Hopefully we will be able to fit a little fun time in this weekend.

So to all my fellow NB’ers, I wish you all a happy long holiday weekend.

First of all, I’d like to wish you all a happy mothers day. So far today my day has been pretty awesome. Not only is it mothers day, but it’s my birthday as well. So I’m having an extra special day. My husband and my kids bought me a lot of presents and a black forest cake. And then my father in law and his wife just showed up with more cake. If anyone else shows up at my house with treats, I’m really going to have to invest in the weight loss diet pill known to man. Oh well, mothers day and my birthday only comes once a year so I guess I’ll just enjoy it and not complain.

Last night after work I decided to check out some sites on gifts for her so I would have something to tell my husband when he asked me what I wanted for valentines day. Well, nothing really jumped out at me that I needed or wanted, so I think I’ll tell him I just want to go out to supper. Sometimes just not having to cook supper is a great gift in itself. So that’s what I’ve decided I want for Valentine’s day.

I’m having a seriously difficult time finding Christmas gifts for my daughter. My youngest son (who is 9) is super easy to buy for, but my 11 year old daughter is definitely another story. I was thinking about purchasing her some stainless steel drums but just found out that she quit the percussion club at school, so I don’t think that would make a very good gift now. She is heavily into animals, but there is only so many animals that a person can buy her as well. Hopefully I’ll come up with a bright idea soon. After all, Christmas is only 15 days away.

Every year I hand my husband a list of all the things that I would like for Christmas. Of course, I realize that I probably won’t get everything on the list, but at least by giving him the list, he has some idea of what I would like. This year on my list is modern furniture classics, a DS video game, clothes, a dishwasher, and a hair straightener. So as you can see by this list, I probably won’t get everything on it, but if gives me a couple of the items then the list making was well worth it.
