It's part gourmet chocolate shop, part old-time candy shop (remember Idaho Spuds?), part gelato shop. Before I got out the door I had spent $20 on candy!

How lovely. (thinks someone's going to be over-excited and hyper over the next few days!)

Oh, yes, definitely!

I have a major sweet tooth, so this shop could end up being one of my regular stops.

Finished up all my Christmas shopping today, so I don't have to brave the insanity of shopping-centres the week before Christmas.

Just have to hope that the 2 parcels from my on-line shopping arrive in time, or SLOC & my mum will be getting pretty IOU envelopes under the tree...

Random texting with a friend. Made me smile. And this friend also finds me funny.

Long 3 day weekend--we're closing down today.

Update: All the patrons in our division reading room were out before the final closing announcement. Books shelved; the room's clean and tidy for Monday.

Yesterday actually...

On my birthday (28th) I was at home with no presents, no cake, kids getting on my nerves, and just generally feeling down. Turns out my family was conspiring behind my back. My husband's job was to find out my favorite cake (cleverly done by asking what kind of cake I would have liked if he'd bothered to get me one). They didn't give me any clues at all.

Then yesterday the doorbell rang and my parents walked in with a cake my Dad made (German's Chocolate with buttercream pecan frosting), a big present (a stand mixer, which I needed), and even paper plates and plastic forks so there wouldn't be dishes to deal with.

My oldest son made a sign and blew up balloons and even had a game for everyone to play. He wrote my name in runes for me for my prize.

Never had a surprise party before and boy was I surprised! Those sneaky people.
