Another Sunday has gone by and my weekend is almost over. I spent the day with my Mom and Brother and Daughter. OMG. I need a vacation. I basically work all week, 7 days with no days off. I know I am sounding a little selfish but really I just need one whole day for me. Just me. No one but me. I feel guilty when I think this way because I have family obligations and yes, I could say no to my mom but then I would feel even worse. Ah well... what can one do? Deal with it......
Today was spent running around doing errands. First, we headed over to Chinatown to pick up some groceries and to have lunch, we went to a very yummy Vietnamese place in Chinatown. After picking up a few items for ourselves and my brother, we headed over to the new Costco located on the outskirts of downtown, near Chinatown. Wow, is this Costco HUGE or what? I can't believe there is finally one near where I live although it's no real good to me because I don't have a membership. We headed over there for my brother because he has no job and little money. We thought we would help him out by buying him some food and bulk items. I ended up buying MORE STUFF like I always do when I'm in Costco, I had to buy 2 boxes of truffles from France. Mmmmm.... so yummy! After Costco, we headed over to Best Buy and Canadian Tire. At Best Buy, we returned an item for my mom and I ended up buying a pack of DVD+RW for my new Pioneer DVD HDD Recorder because I want to burn some of my TV shows onto a DVD for future viewing. At first I was worried about how many shows I could keep on the HDD but it's pretty darn huge. I have 160GB of hard drive in that little machine, I love that machine, I don't know how I ever lived without one! :) Afterwards, we headed back towards my mom's place but did a stop at Superstore (for more stuff) and a place called XS Cargo. Apparently, this place sells a lot of stuff at a really low cost. Mostly junk but we found some nice kitchen knives for my brother and it only cost $39.99. I did not pick up anything oh wait, yes I did. I ended up purchasing a really large bamboo cutting board because the one I got from IKEA (cheap one) is falling apart. After the shopping, we were all very tired and it was time to start dinner. My mom and grandma cooked us a lovely Chinese meal and after helping out with the groceries and dishes, my brother and I decided to call it an early night. Since I did not drive, my brother drove me home. One of the reasons why I didn't drive is because I was afraid I would not be able to get back into my parking spot like the night before. Another because I didn't want to drive. There is still a bit of snow on some of the roads and I didn't want to test out my tires.

We all need time to ourselves. I totally understand what you are talking about though.
BTW, get an AWD.
