The Countdown to Christmas begins!

November 1, 2008

I can hardly believe it is November 1st! Where does the time go? My life has been flying by in mock speed ever since the engagement in Mexico last December 2007. Our official engagement date is December 15th, 2007- Hubby proposed to me on the beach under the stars our first night there. :D

Last night was low key but fun. The hubby and I just hung out and watched Made of Honor while munching on some chocolate (It’s not Halloween without some!). This morning I was woken up early by my crazy cat Sketchie- he was ‘frapping’– running, darting about and causing a racket. I obliged and got up around 7:45am. I had a bowl of Nature’s Path Spelt cereal with Almond milk and I headed off to the mall to try and find some winter boots!

My winter boots from Payless that I bought a couple years ago are not warm. In fact, my toes get numb in them in about 5 minutes! They aren’t waterproof either. I finally found a pair of Ugg boots that I love!!! The only problem is- they are nowhere to be found in black and they are backordered until January! agh!!!

However, my trip was still successful. :) As I was walking by the new Crate and Barrel I saw my FAVOURITE beauty store right across from it- Bath & Body Works!!!! Agh!!! I believe it is the first one in Canada?? I just had to get some loot:

I got Warm Vanilla Sugar moisturizing hand soap and foaming hand soap as well as Twisted Peppermint hand soap. Then I got a mini Twisted Peppermint antibacterial hand gel, and a lipgloss! woot!

Also, a new plate from C&B:

How fall & festive looking!

Well, my stomach is starting to rumble so I am going to figure out what to have for lunch. I leave you with a video of Sketchie performing his amazing trick. I am trying to keep a straight face when I say this!

Hope you have a fabulous November 1st! If you are crazy like me, you will immediately run to your Itunes and put on some Christmas music to get you in the mood…

No workout for me yet. I did a couple hours of shopping this morning so I may count that for my exercise. We shall see!

Ciao :)

I LOVE Bath and Body Works! I use a lot of their products!! If I can get to TO over Christmas i’m going to have to buy myself some. One Christmas I gave a lot of their soaps and things as a couple gifts and the people loved them.
