Weather, Shopping, Meetings and Parties
Thursday, December 08, 2005
I still have a lot of Christmas shopping to do. By this time I would usually be finished, but I find it difficult to schlep the babe out in the cold weather and trundle him through the shops. So we are nearing the two week mark and I don't know when I am going to get it done. But I will, I know.Still no big snow. Just the dusty mold, and that has mostly gone. Boston is getting a storm on Friday (Lucky Stephanie!) and their storms usually hit us a day later or take a turn out to the Atlantic.
I have mixed feelings about this because if we get the storm on Saturday, the roads could be too bad for us to get out and Saturday night is Mr. C's work Christmas party. In some ways I am really looking forward to it, because this would be our first night out (really!) since the babe joined us. On the other hand, well work Christmas parties usually don't do it for me. And, I am faced with wearing the same thing I wore last year, which is never good.
I have been having loads of miscellaneous meetings lately. With students, with researchers, volunteers, etc etc. Some good some bad. Another today; a presentation by a student, guaranteed to bore the skin off me. More schlepping of the babe; to Mr. C while I listen to the student. It would be nice to get some shopping done in the midst of this, but it probably won't happen.
The photo is the original home of the NSS (Chloe). What a typical site in Canada. (no, not the snowman in the window of the shop). Look closer; by my son's foot; the ever present disposable Tim Horton's coffee cup.
