this weekend was straight up exhausting. which also equates to fun. i could sleep for years.
friday: spent the day working from home (with a feline assistant - scamper the cat was on standby for purring and cuddles), including a rather promising eye drs appt, and consultation for a (perhaps coming soon) zapping of mon yeux (that's corrective laser eye surgery, for those of you who don't speak 'jamie'). then, came home for a nap, and to get ready for a fancy schmancy dinner at the ancaster old mill to celebrate jeff's birthday. we drank fancy beer, ate fancy foods, dressed in fancy clothes, and talked about fancy things (and our server - who said to jeff, 'well, you've finally made it to 16" even brought us fancy birthday drinks). it was fancy and fun. then, we went home, drank fancy wine ($9 a bottle), and watched fancy tv (dexter) in fancy clothes (sweatpants). it was fancy free.
saturday: slept in a bit, and then after breakfast, went out for a hike - along with the rest of the world (apparently). it was the busiest i've seen a hiking trail in a LONG time. and though it was frustrating, and we were looking forward to a quiet, lonely hike, i couldn't complain much that people were out enjoying the weather. i also approached the edge of the cliff, as i've been trying to ween my way away from the fear of heights i've recently developed (see: driving ATV off mountain). success! 1 step closer to jumping from an airplane. went home, made some lunch, and then napped in preperation for a big night. once we were up and going, i packed for the evening, and en route to my parents, grabbed some snacks, and a band tshirt for jeff. the wedding reception/party/celebration we were going to that night was rock theme.... and for that, i am indefinitely in love with the couple. a few of the high school girlies and respective partners showed up pre-wedding, and we have some quick bites to eat, and a drink, before heading down the street. spent the rest of the night dancing to great music, amongst great friends, AND i got to wear blundstones. to a wedding. dare i say, i enjoyed myself most due to the shoes. it was a blast... so happy i got to join them in celebrating, as they hail from england, and we were all very lucky they decided on a canadian celebration as well! walked home afterwards, had some late night catch ups, and then went to bed WAY too late.
sunday: woke up earlier than wanted (aka. i would have loved to sleep until 4pm), and had some breakfast with fresh air (as the weather was GORGEOUS), then went over to a friend of jeff's who was arriving back from a year in australia - with his newly important lady friend. watched the crazy man jump out of space and then headed back for a straight up nap (told you i nap a lot). afterwards, ventured out for some grocery store adventures (that dubbed in for a walk, as it was raining), and had dinner of couscous and tempeh... and crashed hard (after a few moments of learning on the internet).
it was a CRAZY exhausting weekend, but we celebrated. i promised we would.
mail from a niece - BEST thing to get in the mail (other than money... which it also came with!); a saturday afternoon hike; photographer on a cliff; i'm a risk taker; pre-party snacks; the bride and groom's (second) first dance; the high school ladies; sunday afternoon cuddles.
thursday: i begin the weekend on thursday for a few reasons - worked from home friday, got some fun mail when i arrived home on thursday evening, and i had dinner made for me and got a good visit... so it felt like a weekend. arrived home from work, and had a perfect bumble bee painting waiting for me from my little niece. then, i packed up, and headed home - driving through post-rush hour traffic for a good meal. arrived at jeff's place with dinner already made for me. watched some dexter, and then early to bed.friday: spent the day working from home (with a feline assistant - scamper the cat was on standby for purring and cuddles), including a rather promising eye drs appt, and consultation for a (perhaps coming soon) zapping of mon yeux (that's corrective laser eye surgery, for those of you who don't speak 'jamie'). then, came home for a nap, and to get ready for a fancy schmancy dinner at the ancaster old mill to celebrate jeff's birthday. we drank fancy beer, ate fancy foods, dressed in fancy clothes, and talked about fancy things (and our server - who said to jeff, 'well, you've finally made it to 16" even brought us fancy birthday drinks). it was fancy and fun. then, we went home, drank fancy wine ($9 a bottle), and watched fancy tv (dexter) in fancy clothes (sweatpants). it was fancy free.
