With Ian's birthday yesterday, my parents came down with my bike!  (And also helped us pick up an entertainment unit from Deb for our place - they upgraded ( Read more... )

Today was quite the day ( Read more... )

Whitney and I got together this afternoon to go to the "Ice Festival" happening in Yorkville (and put in ballots to win prizes!), and as we wandered around Yorkville, we ventured into Holt Renfrew - you should note that I have never been into this store, nor did I have any preconceived notions of what truly expensive would be ( Read more... )
