Listy Friday

– We’re going to the Wild Lights tonight at the BC Wildlife park! I’ve been before, and Isla is too young to realize what the heck is going on, but my mom wants to go because she hasn’t seen them yet. I’m pretty excited for it, actually! (And for those who have no idea what the Wild Lights are – It’s an outdoor Christmas light display at the wildlife park.)

– I have been fighting with Isla when it comes time to nurse lately. She’ll eat just fine right before bed or in the middle of the night, but during the day? She’ll eat for maybe 15 minutes every 4 hours or so and be done with it. It’s frustrating, but I guess if she’s not eating, she’s not hungry.

– Confession: I get overly excited for Christmas stockings! Kyle and I are horrible at keeping our Christmas presents for one another a surprise, so our stockings is how we keep the fun and excitement in gift giving. I can’t wait for Kyle to open his Christmas morning – It has some pretty awesome stuff in it!

– Isla had her 6-month immunization booster on Tuesday and she did amazing – Not a single tear! I had completely prepped myself for screamo baby, but she was so stoked to be at the health unit and to hang out with the nurse, she didn’t fuss at all. When the nurse poked her she stopped and looked a little puzzled, but no crying whatsoever. Now we’re good until she’s a year old!

– My brother is coming home for Christmas! He didn’t find out until last weekend that he got the time off of work, so he’s coming home on Sunday and staying for four days. I’m looking forward to seeing my little brother!

– After writing my address in the “return section” on my Christmas card envelopes, I really want to get mailing labels. I haaaaate writing my address 100 million times! Really, I’d like to get a really fun stamp like this one, but since Kyle and I have a habit of buying houses and moving a lot, I’ll wait on that one. I remember my family had one when I was growing up, but we had a PO box so it didn’t matter if we moved across town.

– I guess if you read this, you’ve survived the end of the world. Please don’t tell me you were one of those people! ;)

10 Day You Challenge

6 Places:

1. My hometown. I have mixed feelings about this place. It’s always in my heart, but I don’t think I’d ever want to live there again. It’s flame is sadly burning out as a livable town.

2. My current city. I feel that it’s the perfect sized city. Not too big to the point where it takes for one end of the city to the other (like Vancouver), but not so small that there’s no luxuries or amenities (like Starbucks or 24/7 stores).

3. China. Okay, that’s a little vague, but I’d really like to visit China one day to take in some of the Chinese heritage.

4. Vancouver. I’ve taken many a family trip to Vancouver when I was little, and the couple times Kyle and I travelled there together it was amazing. I have a lot of fun memories in that city.

5. Anywhere my grandparents took me. I was spoiled a lot by my grandparents, and part of that was them taking me on roadtrips with them. From Sechelt to Calgary, and flying me down to Palm Springs – I loved the time I got to spend with them on vacation.

6. The places I plan to take Isla someday. The wildlife park. The aquarium. Stanley Park. Waterslides. I want her to see the world.
