Having a Quiet Day

-
I spent the whole day waiting for 3 boxes to arrive,..ugh!!  The good thing was that I didn't just sit and wait all day, I did do a couple of things at home.  My niece came over for a while and so did Tamara & Cory.  We ended up playing on my deck in the snow because the plan was to take my niece skating at the uptown outdoor rink, but because I had to wait for my packages we just ended playing "sprinkle the snow on Night Crawler (my Kitten)".  She loves the snow!  She is one tough little kitten and has a great story, which I will share one day.
Night Crawler



My biggest pet peeve is waiting...i hate waiting!  For someone who hates waiting I do have a lot of patience.  It doesn't bother me to wait for the pizza delivery(45mins), or having to wait for late buses, or waiting at the emergency room to be seen.  In this case it's the fact that i have to be stuck at home for not just an hour but try 8am till 9pm...13 hours of waiting!  That's the time frame the delivery people gave me,... are you kidding me!!!!  Guess what!  It never showed up, they will be on tomorrows truck. Grrrrrr.....grrrrrr.....  At least I had some good company :)

So the day didn't totally suck, and I did get to do some work, finishing up some orders.

Board Games: Scat Cat

This week we picked up a new board game: Scat Cat.  Ever heard of it?  I never seen this game before but we couldn't resits the cats on the cover. It's a Tomy/Parker bros. game, no date on it. What a cool cover!  The game looks really simple to play. For ages 5 and up. The instruction are easy to follow and are written on the bottom of the box.  "Players choose a crazy little cat, place it at the base of the slide.  Someone says "go", and the action begins.  Each player hits his lever and tries to make his cat scat to the top before anyone else.  Be careful though, if you hit the lever too hard and your cat falls off or goes right over the top, you must start again from the bottom.  The cats keep scatting while the little mice keep score.  First one to reach the top 4 times wins!" Sounds fun!  Can't wait to play. Favorite cat on the cover, "the gangster". Have a great weekend everyone!!

While checking out my usual thrift stops last week, I came across this great gem.  The Great Turtle Race.  This board game is in great shape with all the pieces included. It is a Parker Bro. game. Made in Canada from 1976. Ages 3 to 10. Here is a Canadian commerical in french. You get 3 plastic turtles a spinner and the board you use is the inside bottom part of the the box.  It's a bright pretty colorful box.  The board inside also spins when the turtle goes on "wake-up" mode. We played with my 6yr old niece. She loved it, thought it was fun and silly.

I can't believe it's Friday already!  This week has gone by too fast.  I guess it always does when your on holidays.  Bob and I took the week off just to hang out, clean and unpack.  Also to go on day trips.  Monday we drove to Woodstock(Ontario).  Why Woodstock?  Well we have been there a couple of times for The Nostalgia shows.  We always drove by a bunch of thrift stores and second hand shop.  Plus last year they opens an antique shop call "One of a Kind" which was still so new when we went that it looked like a big mess. Our first stops were some of the shop on the downtown strip, which included a consignment store, a comic shop, a bookstore and a gaming store.  Bob found a few things, me - nothing. Then we hit the Bible for Missions.  What a plethora of stuffs.  We must of spent at least 3 hours in there.  So much good stuff.  I love sewing supplies and patterns and found some nice vintage fabrics and patterns.  We picked up 2 framed embroidery art piec
