Grocery Shopping at Conestoga

You know that going grocery shopping at a mall only ends up in disaster right?

So, Lee and I went with our friend Kathy (who is awesome by the way) after classes last night. Waited in the cold to go grocery shopping because I feel bad about pestering my brother for a ride to the store every week. ): Let's get this straight, whenever we go to Conestoga Mall (one of the main malls in Waterloo) we always get distracted by the stores on the way to the Zehrs... This time we got distracted mainly by the shoe store Spring haha... Many shoes on sale with 3 girls; I think we all know how this ends up... Both Kathy and I found some gorgeous shoes on sale, but had to order them from another store because they were out of stock in our sizes (this meaning we have to go to the mall again in a couple of days haha...) So much for me not spending money until I find a job. ): I still haven't heard from anywhere and now I'm getting quite nervous...

Anyways! We decided to also get sidetracked on our quest for groceries by going to the restaurant Spring Rolls before heading to the grocery store. But the most exciting part wasn't the food but was the decor! I must admit it was quite pretty. It had a modern, clean cut look to it; it was fantastic! I think I got a couple of pictures on my phone to show you? I'll look for them later after I post this. The part that the 3 of us loved most (don't judge us when I type this) was the bathroom! Instead of the classic stalled bathroom, there were individual rooms, each very gorgeous! I wished I'd brought my actual camera to take pictures of it.... ;_; I want to go again just to take pictures hahaha...

After dinner, we head through the cold because the mall was closed by then, to the Zehrs. Some how Lee and I spent about half of what we normally do?! We both think it was because of Kathy's influence (we can't buy anything useless or else she would judgeee!) We successfully only bought $40 worth of food!

We then went back outside with our cart to the bus terminal (which is all the way on the other side of the mall) and waited for 45 mins in the cold! Ah! I never want to do that again. The buses only come once a hour (10:15pm, 11:15pm) and we just happened to miss the 10:15 one... Note to self... aim to finish groceries by 10:00pm! D:

Now all I need to do is wait for my shoes... and while I do that i'm looking for housing for next year and booking some tours (notice how the shoes took priority?! (: ). Wish us luck!!!
