Goings on in the past few days

Not a whole lot. Just been getting ready for the holidays. Finishing up the decorations, cleaning house. My mum arrives in about 5 hours she should just be getting ready to leave Toronto now. I haven’t heard anything from her or S so I am assuming she got on the train fine and that she’s made it to Toronto fine. Now, if I hear from her around 4, then it’s time to panic.

Over the next few days things are going to be pretty busy. Tomorrow AM I’m taking Mum to the Canadian Civilization Museam and then out shopping downtown so she get whatever it is she needs to get. Tomorrow evening involves lots of running around for groceries and getting things ready to cook on Friday. Friday we have dinner around 6 with Kev’s mom G, her husband J, Kev’s brother D and his girlfriend R. Saturday is mass clean up, go see Flame, prep for Sunday cooking. Saturday night we are going to Kev’s dad’s place for dinner with him(B), his wife M, D and R. Then Sunday is lots of cooking, and dinner again here with B,M, D, R.

I’m not sure what to do with Monday. I need to investigate what is going to be open as far as site seeing etc, to take my mum out for another visit. She leaves Tuesday AM bright and early at 6am.

I think I have all of my Christmas shopping done. I need some correct size plastic bags. I may just pop into the store I got my stuff from and get bags from them to house my presents in. I should have done that from the start, but i didn’t realize they had bags for them! I still have some stuff to wrap for my mom. I should probably do that before she gets here. Meh.
