720 Baby Wipes

I'm sorry. I have been lax at posting this week due to being busy. My parents are in town and have kindly been driving me around to a million errands that I have been putting off. D and I don't have a car - we're true blue city folk - so when my parents show up, I'm afraid I tend to take too much advantage of their offer to taxi me around town.

Yesterday was one such trip. We went to Costco! There is a Costco right in the middle of downtown Vancouver (less than half a mile from our home) and although we have a membership, I do find it challenging to make the trip on a regular basis without a vehicle.

Well yesterday was my chance to do some damage. Armed with a fully loaded debit card and my parent's SUV, I arrived with my folks, ready to shop. We timed our arrival for 11:00am - figuring that this would be the least busy shopping time. The world was our oyster.

Costco treated us well, and I managed to get out of there spending less than $300. Notably, my favourite purchase was a big ol' industrial-sized box of baby wipes - 720 to be exact. Buying them felt amazing, exhilarating, exciting. It's the little things in life, I suppose.

This isn't a very exciting post. I apologize for that. I guess that's just where I'm at right now. I'm caught up doing the ho-hum preparations and biding my time until Maya arrives. She is all I think about. All day, every day. I am so excited to wipe her cute little bum with those 720 baby wipes.
