Let the Winter BLAH's begin

Ick, I hate this time of year. It's a bit too early to get seriously excited about Christmas, the days are short, and baby, it's cold outside. I'm much more of a summer person - enjoying warm sun on my face during my daily walk and eating peaches, blueberries and nectarines by the box. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy eggnog and mandarins as much as the next person, but it's just not enough.

I tried to lift my spirits by getting a jump on my Christmas shopping at Metrotown Center yesterday. Back in the pre-baby days, it was always my favorite place to shop - a good variety of stores. I've come to realize that as a new Mom, I now have a big time HATE ON for Metrotown. Parking is a complete gong-show, and you've got to be willing to fight to the death for your place in the queue for the elevators, which are often frequented by ABLE BODIED middle ages ladies and teenagers. GRRRRR. I hit a couple of stores and then resigned myself to finishing my shopping at Brentwood Mall this year. Besides, they have the cool Santa.
