It was a long and good weekend – of friends, sun (and rain), and great food.
friday: just before leaving work, I didn’t have plans, so I asked Kelly - a friend from work - what she was up to. She invited me to join herself and amande - another friend from work - and her to pick up her birthday gift, and then go to her place for a drink before they left for amanda’s place for the evening. We went over to Kelly’s for a glass of wine while she packed, during which time, Kelly and Amanda convinced me to go to Amanda’s for the night – sans overnight clothes. So I picked up and left. Had to make a quick stop at shoppers for some contact solution, and we were on our way. By waiting around downtown, we missed most of the traffic, so it was a quick drive. We picked up some wine for the night, and then headed to amanda’s, where I showered, and we all put on comfy clothes. It was a night of wine, thai food, lots of laughter, and girl talk. Lots of fun.

saturday: we all woke up in fairly good time in order for Kelly to get away to her mom’s, and Amanda to get away to the cottage. Kelly took me down to the subway, and I went straight to work to get my car, and then home. I took advantage of the incredible weather, and I sat, read, put together some ‘Thackeray’s Vanity’ bead packs, eating good food, and reading james franco’s book
‘palo alto’. i took a trip down queen street to pick some stuff up, and got caught up in bead and art stores, and then walked (a bit) home. As I was walking home from reading my book in the park, I stopped to talk to my landlord erin, and her friend matt. A quick chat turned into a bottle of wine, and next thing I knew, we were heading for dinner at
pizza libretto and then for tequila at
reposado. We all headed home around 2 after a great unintentional night out.

sunday: woke up fairly early, and got some cleaning done before meeting up with a friend. My friend and I went shopping for her planned purchase of a motorcycle jacket – successful. We then headed to
the foggy dew for a drink and some food. And conversation, of course. I then left to meet up with my parents and sister for a
memorial cup game. We watched the
missisauga st mike’s majors win, and met
red kelly to boot – so it was a good night. My little sister came back to my place with me, and we sat up talking until we went to bed late.

monday: woke up praying for no rain – and alas. There was some. So we did what I always do when it’s mid morning and yucky – went to
sneaky dee’s for brunch. Ocne we were done, the sun seemed to be poking out, so we got back to my place, packed up my art supplies, and headed to
trinity bellwoods park for some painting. We managed to evade the rain, made some dinner, and got her packed up to catch the train back to my parents. I headed home, watched some
sex and the city, and then went to bed.

Great weekend – hope everyone was safe and enjoyed the good weather we had!
