this weekend felt like it flew by... and mostly because i was occupied most of the day saturday, but ALSO because of the lack of sleep. weekends need to be longer.
my work on my mood board at the ladies learning code photoshop workshop this weekend (entry to follow); yay for a ceaser salad dressing that's easy to veganize!; my sunday MEC shopping trip - productive in the quest to lighten my camping/hiking load.
friday: i did my afternoon rehab, and then headed out to my
friend’s for dinner with the intent of attending a psychedelic dance
party. by the time i arrived, chatted with his roommate a bit, and got
out and grabbed takeout thai food for dinner, we were eating around 9:30 and
both fairly uninterested in making the trek across town. instead, the 3 of us
spent the evening chatting, drinking mint juleps, and having our own version of
a (very exhausted after a long week of work) dance party. It was a pretty late
night, but that’s what happens when the carly rae jepsen comes out!
saturday: woke up pretty early, and walked over to george brown, where i was spending the day at a ladies learning code photoshop workshop. i will say that a whole post is coming shortly about this workshop (probably tomorrow), but the least i can say is that at the beginning of the day i was exhausted, sort of grumpy, and didn't even want to get out of bed. however, when i walked out of the workshop at the end of the day simply elated. i was so happy i took the workshop, and really felt apt when i left at the end of the day... and fully appreciative of all those if you out there who are graphic designers, etc. much love. i walked to my friend's place, who lives nearby, and had some dinner and chatted lots. then, after a nap, and a shower, i was on my way to meet some friends at el convento rico on college street - shortly after finding out one of the ladies would be the new girlfriend of an ex of mine. lovely. nevertheless, had a great time dancing with the other friends who were there, in celebration of a friend's birthday - and enjoyed watching the 'dance with me' style drag show that the bar has every saturday at 12:30. i finally left after the show at 1, and met a few friends (both old and new) for a late night dance party at the drake. finally headed home late late (but not before a quick post-bar food stop) to sleep. glorious sleep.
sunday: woke up earlier than hoped, but. since it was rainy and a bit yucky, did not rush to get out of bed. once i finally pulled myself out of bed, made the trek up to the organic store at the end of my street with my friend - as our plan was to create a monster breakfast. made delicious things, and sat on the front porch, while it misted ('true vancouver weather' he said), and talked. and ate. and talked. and ate more. then, after a small cleanup, took off for a downtown MEC adventure. spent a couple of hours perusing and deciding on various tools - as well as admiring the tents - and then after grabbed some starbucks, went to my friend's place to hang. spent the rest of the afternoon walking, talking, hanging out, laughing hysterically (i'm sure the lack of sleep assisted in that), along with some (more) napping. then after heading home (with a quick viet food pitstop on the way), watched some sons of anarchy in bed, and finally got to sleep.
hope everyone enjoyed the sun on saturday, and the late afternoon clearing on sunday - productive and fulfilling as well. it was an exhausting weekend for me (that i'm still sort of recovering from), but a good one. filled with good conversation, dance moves a plenty, and happy thoughts. and lots of napping. happy monday!
