my weekend in summary

we give good presents - some x-rated pre-wedding fun with our coworker; coleo cutting his cake; Cole and Matthew DeZoete playing piano and singing at the party; cole makes a speech to his mom at his makeshift (cardbord) podium; just a little reminder of the disaster that is my life; table setting at la merceria that i wanted to remember... because it's just plain beautiful.
Friday: my intent was to hang out with a friend, and then meet up with another friend (and his friends) at a bar near my place. After working at a food distribution project at a church at Bloor and St George, my friend decided she wasn’t up for hanging out, so I headed home. probably best – as I managed to get all my laundry done (I lead a very exciting life). While en route, I bumped into my landlord, who had an equally awful week to me (more on that soon), and after a moment of exhaustive venting, we decided it would be best to just spend the night together. We ended up hanging out until the wee hours, including once her fiancé (my other landlord) arrived home with his friend. This included a heavy discussion on native rights and responsibilities in Canada, lots of cheese (that I can eat!), and maybe a few glasses of wine. Didn’t end up meeting up with my friend, but still was up until about 2am.
Saturday: woke up late, and hung out in bed for awhile. Once I finally got up, made some breakfast for a friend and I (eggs! Yay! I love having non-vegan food I can eat!) – albeit a late breakfast (i.e. 2pm), and hung out for a bit, before heading over to my friend Cole’s surprise birthday party. Though I arrived late (I didn’t want to be the one to ruin it, when he was walking in!), so nice to see his parents, his friends, and his lovely gf abby who I adore. We celebrated at the pour house, and then a few of us moved to sneaky dees (obviously), for some food and beer - and heavy discussions on fort building (i love forts). I then headed home, and simply did a few things online that have been stacking up (some research for new and exciting things), and just relaxed.
Sunday: woke up, showered, and met my dear friend steph for breakfast at ‘our place’ – sadie’s – for peanut butter bananan chocolate smoothies, and vegan brunch. We then got coffee at la merceria and sat, and talked, for a long time. afterwards, I brought steph up to bloor west, to her friend’s new place, and we sat and talked more. After they left to go for dinner, I went ot my friend’s place, to watch football, and work on some other online stuff – including updating the re:claim big cartel store, as well as working for 4 hours from home on actual work. Ugh. The patriots lost, too. Worst.
Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend – the weather was amazing, and fall is the perfect time to enjoy the last remaining outside weekends!
