How We Spent our International Women's Day

 Colin and I had a fabulous day!! We stopped at the school here first because Hannah lost her Scholastic book order and it was due today(even though I had told her countless times to leave it alone or she would lose it and not get any books) Well I caved and stopped to fill in another one and leave the money with the teacher. Her teacher said Hannah had already asked 3 times that morning if she had an extra book order for her to take home, lol!!

 
Then we were off to the radio station in the city to pick up four McDonald's coupons for free meal deals that I had won on the radio a few weeks ago. Then of course off to Micky D's to use them, lol!! When I explained to them that Colin was vegetarian they let us exchange his burger for a garden salad.
 
Then we were off to No Frills to do a little grocery shopping and we stopped at Value Village (a large second hand store) where we didn't find any really great deals, they still wanted $18 for a pair of jeans that he wanted. I thought that was a little much for used pants.
 
Then we went to main street and picked up our plackards that we would hold from 3:30 till 4:00 standing at the end of one of the main intersections there. I was surprised to see so many people really, especially since it was a high of about -8 and the wind was making it seem much, much colder!!! I bet there were at least 70 of us there all making a wall of women who had been ostricized because of their sex and their efforts at attaining equality for women. There were alot of reporters there taking pictures and if I should get one in the paper tomorrow I will post for you all to see. Colin was very impressed I think and said it was worth missing school for. Then on the way home we stopped at Tim Horton's where we didn't win anything rrrrrr..olling up the rrrrrim, lol!!
