The holidays continue

October 26, 08

Usually every year around boxing day i bought something related to electronics and that was online. But this year I had everything so i decided that i'll buy some clothing. I have previously purchased clothing online from sears. I started browsing different clothing websites and found suzy shiers website to have some nice deals. But i couldn't find my size. So, i decided that this time i'll go from store to store physically and will look for the deals. I went to my closest mall in the morning and didn't see much crowd. I found some good prices but unfortunately i was unable to find my size or the colour i was looking for. Hence, we decided to go to a mall in milton. I bought few things from reitmans. Their pants are on sale for $20. I am talking about petite sizes that are hard to find. Previously, i have purchased the same pants for $30 on sale. I then went to cleo and liked their collection but the sale prices weren't reasonable either. I entered Ricki's afterwards. They had a great sale. I bought two pants which were originally $60 for $20 each. I was able to find a coat that was actually my size and originally it was for $99 and i got that for $29. So, now i was happy

Now, it was turn for zaayan to be happy. He wanted to go to chucky cheese so then we went to chucky cheese and all of us played and ate pizza there. We spend few hours there and this was one time when it wasn't crowded at all.

The day started with extremely fog outside. I asked my husband if we could go for shopping again. This time we went to heartland. This time i decided to go to children's place. I have this habit of browsing online sites, forums or flyers before i go for shopping so i know what sales are on and where should i go. Children's Place had a 40% entire store sale going on. I wanted to buy dress clothes for zaayan because he had so many other clothes. I was amazed to see how other ladies had two huge bags of clothes that they picked. For some reason, i hardly get what i am looking for zaayan. I didn't get what i was looking for i picked up a jeans and two full sleeves shirts for him for next year. The jeans after the sale was $11 and the shirts were $2.5 each. I also bought two sweaters for $10 each which were over $20 i think. I was able to find a dress pant and one dress shirt. When i went to the counter i told the girl that i filled an online survey and had a 15% code and i couldn't find it. Actually, when i was leaving home i was unable to find the receipt where i wrote the code. The girl at the counter had that code and give me the 15% discount...so, over all i saved 55%. I was so happy

After doing window shopping in many women stores i found two things at costa blanca for $5 each.

Then, my husband wanted a new version of the chess software i bought him years ago. So, we headed towards electronics store and after visiting three stores we couldn't find the software.

We then went for a drive on mississauga road towards belfountain..There were times when our car was deeply covered in the fog patches. I felt like we were moving in the clouds. I wish i could actually walk outside.

Later we went to chapters and took some take-out from biryani king...biryani, qorma, keshmi kabab and some cholay.

This was the day to stay at home and rest, do some cleaning, laundry etc and worry about Monday. Did some grocery shopping and cooked some daal chawal and made banana split for the sweet tooth.

I went to my placement and discovered that most people were away on holidays...even, the other student. I was thinking in the morning to call and tell my supervisor that i am not coming because zaayan had been sick for the past few days. He didn't wanted to wake up in the morning and i had to drag him to the babysitter. At my placement, i discovered that my supervisor had been away for over a week. It was so boring and quiet at my placement. The cubical looked very dark with dim lightening. I didn't had much to do...so, i started reading the books i am given by my supervisor and manager to read and reflect upon. But, for some reason i couldn't focus and was moving from one book to another. I asked my supervisor if i could go at 3:30 pm and she told me that i could just go. I usually go through square one to get to my placement...so, i walked into the mall. OMG, i couldn't believe my eyes. The mall was packed with people. I felt as if everyone had a holiday and i was the only one that went to work.

Now, i have rest of the week off. I am going to do some cooking and baking and will just stay at home. I am not sure if i'll get over the procrastination and will get some pending things done. I guess not.
