Things to do while your waiting for a baby in December, in Peterborough ON

1) Head out to the local Spa and get your toes done ~ this one was nice

2) Dig through all of your OLD paperwork and finally do those taxes you have been putting off for the past 2 years ~ not so nice

3) Shovel snow ~ ok, whatever

4) Shop for groceries and make whatever you want to have for dinner ~ nice, much enjoyed after the ship

5) Continue with the 'Level 1 Greek in 88 easy lessons' DVD ~ ugh, lesson 37... this is going to take FOREVER

6) Go to the Hospital for an UltraSound to make sure baby is bigger than a grapefruit only to discover it is hovering around 9 pounds. Ouch ~ very cool, saw the face, a yawn and the fist moving around

7) Compile the Christmas Shopping list ~ yes Santa, I've been good this year.

8) Shovel more snow ~ I know why I live in Vancouver

9) Head into town and look for wireless hotspots to upload photos ~ what is it about this place, no signal???

10) Determine that finding those 'perfect gifts' for everyone elsemay take more than the 3 weeks you have left until Christmas ~ can you say, I think I'm screwed

11) Find a recipe for Christmas cookies, bake them, eat them and then wonder if you have enough stuff to make more ~ yum

12) Make sheets for the baby's bed ~ one more off the to do list

13) Shovel more bloody snow ~ it doesn't seem to end

14) Visit the hospital and discover that there are some minor contractions going on, only to be told that 'those don't count unless you can feel them'.... rude.

15) Watch Rudy the cat play with a little grey mouse

16) Realize that there are no gratis hot spots in Peterborough and I need to suck it up and update the blog on dial up.
