Saturdays spent wisely

I didn't get out of bed until about noon so no jumpstart on homework but I did get a chance to go to Winterlude.
For those of you who don't know what that is, there are two parts: the first is here in my hometown and it's the ice sculpture portion and the other part is in Hull, I believe, and it's ice slides and the game/fun portion. I went to the ice sculptures with my mom today and, if you haven't gone, you should considering this is the last weekend it's open. I have no idea how people are capable of creating these masterpieces of out bricks of ice but bravo to them because they are truly beautiful. They had cellphones frozen in ice as an advertising scheme by Rogers, pigs skating, and my personal favourite: Cinderella's carriage.

Since we were a block away from The Rideau Centre, my mother and I decided to do a little shopping. We stopped by Jacobs, where I purchased two black skirts and a tie, and Aritzia where I got a blue deep-v t-shirt, army green knitted tank-dress, blue tna sweater, and a gray fall coat. The only "problem" (well, this is the real reason I bought it) is that the dress arm holes come past the ribcage, so I'll either have to wear a bandeau or another shirt.
I don't think my ex-military principal would appreciate the bandeau.
As soon as I purchase a memory card for my father's camera, I can show you what I mean.
I've also been thinking about what clothing I'll bring with me to Paris. You see, my school is going on an 8-day trip throughout Paris and my best friend Blair and I are going. Lots of fun to be had! He said the weather should be superb although isn't it cold there, too? I'm thinking I'll bring my shiny leggings from American Apparel and definitely my new coat!
I'm working tomorrow 9:30am to 5:30pm so I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! And for those of you who don't know what to do - why not build an ice sculpture?
