this weekend i took full advantage of all the sun, AND still managed to be incredibly productive. again. yessss....
saturday: woke up fairly early, but after a good amount of sleep. after cleaning and organizing some, got some things cleared out of my apt, and spent some time watching 'soldier surprises their family' videos (don't judge me). remembering how ridiculous i was being, i headed out to the backyard, where pat, erin, tonka (the dog), and i spent the afternoon in the sun. erin and i devised a plan to get our fabric for our next project, but, after determining we didn't have enough time for all the things we wanted to get done, settled on only mani/pedi's for the afternoon. headed out on our afternoon adventure - to the nail salon, where they told us they wouldn't have time until 7. so we wandered down to queen street, to our fabric store, to spend some time picking out fabric for our next project (exciting!), and me for a shirt project (which could be the turning point in my wardrobe). we made a quick stop at shopgirls, and then headed back down to OMG for cupcakes. unfortunately, they closed early, so we moped a bit in our vietnamese restaurant while waiting for our appt. consoled ourselves with spring rolls and thai beer. then, headed next door where we were treated like royalty by our friends at the nail salon, and indulged in horrible reality television while having our nails painted, and hands and legs massaged. finally ventured home.... for a great dinner prep of steak (for them), tofu (for me), grilled veggies, and french loaf (with pizzeria libretto chili oil that i had salvaged from a long ago takeout order). then, while waiting for dinner, we baked vegan brownies (oh, i know. you're dying. don't worry - recipe coming tomorrow). ate a great dinner, then GREAT brownies, and then watched entourage before heading to bed.
sunday: woke up early, again, and knew it was going to be a rough back day. nevertheless, laid in bed for a bit, but still got out of bed fairly early. went out to get some errands done - clothing donation drop off, pick up of old computers from their cleaning adventure, and then headed to the gym for some rehab. spent a significant amount of time there - and started to really get into the hunger games (since i have to do boring rehab on a boring stationary bike for a boring amount of time, i've taken to reading exciting books to keep me excited about it). then, headed home. spent some time making lunches and breakfasts for the week at work (which is something i'm super into lately - wow.... i'm a loser), and then wandered outside to enjoy the rest of the sunlight and the amazing day in the backyard. hung out a bit with pat, and read old issues of magazines i needed to catch up on, and ate my late lunch/dinner. then, when it started getting cold, headed back inside begrudgingly, and settled onto my couch for zombie movies and letter writing to friends. exhausted from the workout, and the sun (yay!) headed to bed too early to admit. to watch modern family in bed, and for a good sleep.
hope everyone had a GREAT weekend, and got outside as much as possible.... the next two weekends are going to be FULL, so it was nice to actually get a relaxing one before the madness begins!
surprise flowers at work; presents for birthday girls; haircut - bangs; saturday in the yard with erin and tonka, and tonka truck seeking snacks; the sun in the trees on a sunny saturday; pat measuring erin & pat measuring me - and trying to cheat me out of a few inches; our project fabric being cut; lots of lace; baking vegan brownies; the finished product; sunday to do list; cleaned and organized - and made better with flowers; sunny sunday with trashy magazines and a new pedicure; lounging.
friday: went and got a haircut, and then met the crew at terroni in the east end for my dear friend helen's birthday. had some great food, and chatted about a few of the crowd's upcoming marathon/half on the sunday. sat for about 2.5 hours, and really had a chance to enjoy the company of a few of her friends who i had either never met, or had not had the opportunity to spend much time with. after dinner, everyone parted ways, and i headed home. my friend met me at home, and we ventured out for a late night walk - enjoying the amazingly warm weather at 10pm. made sure to pass by a motorcycle that was sitting in waiting - to drool over - and to 7-11 for late night slurpees. then, arrived home, and put on office space, and ate air popped popcorn. went to bed not too late, and got a great night's sleep.saturday: woke up fairly early, but after a good amount of sleep. after cleaning and organizing some, got some things cleared out of my apt, and spent some time watching 'soldier surprises their family' videos (don't judge me). remembering how ridiculous i was being, i headed out to the backyard, where pat, erin, tonka (the dog), and i spent the afternoon in the sun. erin and i devised a plan to get our fabric for our next project, but, after determining we didn't have enough time for all the things we wanted to get done, settled on only mani/pedi's for the afternoon. headed out on our afternoon adventure - to the nail salon, where they told us they wouldn't have time until 7. so we wandered down to queen street, to our fabric store, to spend some time picking out fabric for our next project (exciting!), and me for a shirt project (which could be the turning point in my wardrobe). we made a quick stop at shopgirls, and then headed back down to OMG for cupcakes. unfortunately, they closed early, so we moped a bit in our vietnamese restaurant while waiting for our appt. consoled ourselves with spring rolls and thai beer. then, headed next door where we were treated like royalty by our friends at the nail salon, and indulged in horrible reality television while having our nails painted, and hands and legs massaged. finally ventured home.... for a great dinner prep of steak (for them), tofu (for me), grilled veggies, and french loaf (with pizzeria libretto chili oil that i had salvaged from a long ago takeout order). then, while waiting for dinner, we baked vegan brownies (oh, i know. you're dying. don't worry - recipe coming tomorrow). ate a great dinner, then GREAT brownies, and then watched entourage before heading to bed.
