though i intended on spending this weekend outside, the weekend was filled with lots of indoor things - which was totally fine, as it meant time with friends and sisters. sometimes the least planned plans, turn out the best.
thrift store, galore; lunch, beer, tea, and movies with sister; i'm a peeler; if there was ever any doubt that i am obsessed with zombie/horror movies; a few vintage finds
Friday: I was supposed to hang out with a friend, but we
determined that with her trying to get to her parent's on a timeline, and me
rushing to get out of work, it just wasn't a good day after all. so, when my
landlord asked me to come for dinner, I obliged - nice dinner with good
friends, and I don't have to leave my own house? perfect friday evening. after
my now daily rehab, I rushed home, and changed into more comfortable clothes
(another benefit of dinner at my own house), and headed to their place. my
friend joined us, and we had a night of good bbq tofu and chicken, and all the
spoils that erin afforded us. amazing food, good drinks (wine and more), and as
always, great company. add in erin's standard, 'you'll have to excuse them -
they have this thing where they make wildly inappropriate remarks to one
another' about pat and I, and you have a standard night with my landlord
friends. was in bed before midnight - which was just what I needed.
Saturday: woke up fairly early, and got to work - cleaned
and organized and did laundry galore. Went for a trip to the organic store down
the street to get some groceries, and while making a huge lunch, packed some
food for my lunch the following week. did some work on my website, and some
paper work that I needed to get done, and finally left to meet my
colleague/friend kelly, and her sister sarah at the eaton's centre - sarah was
visiting for the weekend, and I was crashing their girl's day. Shopped through
the centre with the obligatory out of towner stops: lululemon (where I found
the scarf I'd been telling myself I couldn't justify for a year - ON SALE. yes.
I know); victoria's secret; scotch and soda; and a shop for blue jays paraphernalia. we then headed back to kelly's, had some snacks, and then went downstairs and
had manicures (kelly) and pedicures (all of us) - massaging chairs and all. once we all finished up, I hopped in the car and headed home, as my little
sister is home between semesters, and I wanted to be able to spend some time
with the two of them (middle and little sister). when I arrived home, my little
sister dshea and her friend steph and I, whipped up a great dinner, and
reviewed as many pages as 'what should we call me' as we could... as well as
every 'lonely island' video known to (wo)man. we were in bed again, fairly
early.
Sunday: woke up pretty early, and cleaned up a bit before
settling downstairs to watch tv and do some design work with my recentphotoshop skills. dshea and I watched tv and chatted (sister time, I guess) and
then headed to value village for some thrift shopping. we both left with large
amounts of goodies - me a vintage liz claiborne side purse, a silk tank, and a
satin black and brown flowy top, and her, a few pairs of jeans, a jays hat and
a few other things. we went home, and again created a huge late lunch/early
dinner, and watched 'I love you man'. then, after some cleaning, a chat with
kshea, and a shower (as mine at home is a bit broken), I headed back to
toronto. got home, worked on some projects, jewelry, laundry, emails I needed
to get out, and design work, and then watched the first episode of 'girls', and
then went to bed. early. again.
I will have everyone know I felt refreshed when I
woke up this morning - I guess that's what sleep does!
hope everyone had a fantastically productive weekend, and
spent the time doing whatever they needed and/OR wanted to get done.
