The OC

No, this blog will not be about the cancelled television show, The OC.

Yesterday, after the passport office, I decided to go to the Oshawa Centre to do some Christmas shopping. So I am looking around when I notice it, like a ray of light. A lululemon store.Yes, that's right, lululemon has come to the Oshawa Centre, my little heart did a pitter patter. I couldn't believe it, when did this happen? The Oshawa Centre has been under going some renovations, but I had no idea that lululemon was coming. For those who do not know lululemon, they are the company who make yoga inspired clothing, I have a pair of their capri's and they are the most comfortable pants ever! The ironic part is that just this last weekend while at Yorkdale, I bought another pair of pants (because I figured this was the closest I would get to a store) and they are being hemmed and picked up for me.

The good news continued, in addition to lululemon being added, there is also a new Town Shoes in the OC now. Finally, a really nice shoe store has arrived. The Reitman's store has also moved and been completely renovated inside, it looks all wood-like and sleek inside now.

Well, it looks like our little OC is growing up. Now, I only need to get L'Occitane en Provence to come and I can get my favourite hand cream near by!

Passport

Yesterday morning I got up early and trekked out to the passport office in Whitby to re-new my passport. My passport doesn't expire until March 2008, but Cory and I are planning on going somewhere warm in March, so hence the need to re-new my passport earlier.

Now, I think we have all heard about the horror stories of long lineups waiting to get/re-new your passports. Well, I have to say that I had an extremely positive experience at the Passport office. I got there at about 8:15am, and there was a bit of a line-up, but it moved very quickly, and I had a number before I knew it. I was out of the office at 8:50am. I know, it was awesome.

I always love it when you are in lines and people feel a need to chat with you, like the lady who was behind me and was all concerned she was not going to make it to Scarborough for work at 9am. It's like lady, I don't know if you are going to make it or not, maybe you should have planned your time better.LOL.

So if you hapen to need to re-new your passport, try the Whitby office.

Michelle's Birthday

Yesterday Cory, Chris and myself made a whirlwind trip down to Belleville for our friend Michelle's birthday (Lisa and Aaron were also coming), of course after a few side trips to Wal-mart and the Quinte Mall. I love how when I go anywhere with Cory and Chris, it turns into a mini-advernture of shopping somehow. This trip was no different. While in the Quinte Mall, Cory made a spur of the moment purchase of glasses for himself (very nice Versace ones) and I bought myself a pair of DKNY sunglasses.

Finally, we arrived at Michelle's. While we were there to celebrate her birthday, we were also there to see Michelle and Randy's new baby boy, Declan. He's about 3 months old and I have to say, very cute.

We all sat around and got caught up with each other before dinner and then had a very nice dinner (thanks Michelle for cooking) and of course had birthday cake.

It was so nice to see everyone, I always love these little trips.

Happy Birthday Michelle!!
