And there is more shopping. Kind of.

Today we went to Humberton. I think it’s called that. It’s about the size of Johnsonville Mall.

We decided to walk there, which I thought was a FUN IDEA and it really ended up being NOT A VERY FUN IDEA because stamping on the ice with my boots got old after and while and it was freezing. It’s not so bad when the wind is still, but it was blowing lots right in my face.

My ears and cheeks were so cold. I really need to invest in a stupid looking hat.

We got to the mall and there was a hairdresser and I was like LOL I WANNA GET MY HAIR CUT so Mum shoved me in there and was all GO AHEAD. … So I got my hair cut. This really nice guy called Alex did it for me. I got all the usual questions (“Oh, are you from Australia?”), and I got some weird ones too. He seemed to be into Lady Gaga a lot, so he wanted to know if NZ thought she was fantastic, and if she had toured there. I thought Holy Madonna, he’s going to make me look like Lady Gaga isn’t he?? but he did a very good job. I have a fringe that I can see out of now!

I also went to Baskin Robbins which is freaking epic. I had rainbow sherbet and chocolate. There was also a flavour called ‘Baseball Nut’ which made me laugh so hard I had to double over and my sister did not seem to understand why I HAD TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT. There was also one called ‘Maui Chocolate’ or something like that – anyway, it had the word ‘Maui’ in it. I wonder if they knew what that even means. Maybe not.

ANYWAY – we also decorated our Christmas tree today. Auntie is a total spaz about her tree being perfect too. She let me decorate but I bet she’s going to sneak back down to the tree this evening and rearrange all of the baubles I put on the tree HA HA HA. I also got to play on their GRAND PIANO /dies It’s so BEAUTIFUL and pretty and it makes a really nice sound!

Tomorrow we’re going to Napanee, where there is also not as much snow as I would have liked. And it’s going to be raining on Christmas day!

… I’ll feel right at home then, huh? (:
