shopping

chaos in the house! perry's brother and our niece are here from toronto this weekend and it's been non-stop go, go, go! just when i've finished cleaning up from a meal, i am thinking of starting the next one! this morning menu included daisy shaped pancakes (coincidentally our cravings logo!), hashbrowns, bagels & lox, fruit, etc, etc. i am full and am hoping the kids (including the big kids) won't be hungry for lunch. tonight is dinner a la fuddruckers!

so, i went boot shopping yesterday. i really needed my BFF and shopping partner from calgary yesterday. i just couldn't decide. i went to 2 higher-end independent shoe retailers yesterday...have to support the small businesses in saskatoon :) anyway, was disappointed with the first store because of their lack of selection. didn't have much in my size but i did find one boot i could special order in which was great. went to the next store and i have to tell you...the customer service has steppedd up a notch. i was completely blown away. not sure if it's because there is more competition in saskatoon now? i guess there could be a number of reasons, but i did get great service. i fell in LOVE with a pair of boots...only one small problem...it took me half an hour to get them on & off. now i know i am pretty much the last person you would call "practical", but with 2 children....i can't spend 15 minutes getting my boots off :( i guess this has been a problem for most trying them on. so i came home and went on the internet...problem solved...apparently they break in and this tug-of-war will end! going back to get the boots on monday :) i even dreamt about them last night!! that's when you know you NEED the boots. my b-i-l says that when you know you are CRAZY...i totally disagree!

anyway, i have now decided that i need a new pair of faded skinny jeans...my mission for today!
