Errands and such....

This afternoon was all about returning items and running errands. After BQ left with my PC, I went upstairs to grab some lunch (mom made perogies with green onions, sour cream and freshly grated cheddar cheese, 5000 calories!) and to see if she needed to run any errands for herself. She did have a few things to pick up so we decided to head over to Best Buy and Canadian Tire on Cambie street since BQ advised that I didn't actually need to upgrade my PC's hard drive to the 500GB cos what I had currently was more than enough for a home user. That was great to know, saves me a hundred dollars and now I can look for an external hard drive so I can back up all my important files in my PC just in case anything ever happened to it. It's quite concerning, how a little electronic device carries quite a bit of my life in there. Part of my life is in the hands (or gigabytes) of a PC.....hmm..... a bit scary actually......

After returning the hard drive and looking around (no sales or deals on an external hard drive at the moment), we went upstairs to CT to pick up a few items for Ginger. After CT, we decided to head over to Costco cos I needed to pick up a membership for myself cos it is handy to have one and I needed to pick up a couple of items from there. Mom also had a list of stuff they needed but she forgot her membership card and A/X. It didn't matter tho cos once you sign up and pay the fee, you can use your membership right away. Surprisingly, it wasn't that busy but we are not used to the set up of this Costco so we were a bit confused where everything was. After walking and locating our items, we headed over to the check out and it was pretty quick. We wanted to stop by the concession stand for a snack (Costco hot dogs ... mmmm... yumyum!) cos we still had to go to Superstore before heading home but the stand was super busy, the line up was out the door! We decided to go to McD's for drive thru, bad mistake cos my tummy didn't feel well after snacking on grease! At Superstore, we met up with Auntie Ing cos she wanted to go to Superstore with us, we walked around the store and picked up a few more items before calling it a night. I had the entire house to myself for a couple of hours cos mom, grams and auntie had gone out for dinner while Kay was at a movie with her friend. Super nice to have quietness and peacefulness, I remember at one time, it was pretty scary being alone in the house but now that we are used to it, it's quite a treat!
