Eggnog Latte

I love those days that start out relaxing and continue on in that manner.  Yesterday was one such day.  Andy and I started out with one goal in mind.  Starbucks commenced their Christmas season with the return of their holiday drinks this week; we wanted to start celebrating with them.  So off to the mall we went with eggnog lattes on our mind.  While drinking our hot beverages and touring the mall we happened upon a few sales...how fun!  We have been searching for some pictures to hang on our bare walls.  Although most of the house looks like a home, two of our rooms felt a bit bachloresk.  So for the past month we've been searching.  Who would have guessed that while we were just strolling by, with no intention to purchase, the two most perfect pictures would be staring right at us ON SALE.  Thrilled at our new purchase we used our new found energy to discuss what gifts we might buy our families for Christmas.  After each of us helping debate who would like what and where and when do we find each item we started to discuss our Christmas plans.  This year we have made the decision to purchase one big gift together that would be for the two of us.  We had decided a month or so ago that this Merry Christmas to us gift would be a video camera.  Just as we are confirming these plans we walk by the Sony store where they as well are having  a SALE.  Someone must have phoned ahead and told them that we were coming.  So I guess we decided to celebrate Christmas a bit early (in true Canadian style...since they are playing Christmas music and hanging lights already).  So what was meant to be a short, simple, financially frugal trip to the mall turned into a longer, exciting, found everything we needed on sale trip.  I love days like these...and just had to share. I'm tempted to go out for Lattes again next week. :) 
OHH and with our new camera in hand you can be sure to look out for the video tour of our casa!

Man--I'd start every day with an eggnog latte if I were you!

That sounds like a very fun trip to the mall. It's always in those unexpected "not looking for anything" trips that you end up finding the best items! Unfortunately, on the flip side, it's usually in those "I really need to find XX" trips that you can't find XX. But we won't dwell on that since that wasn't the case at all with this trip!
