sorry friends - i've been working hard to get work ready for me to leave, and PACK for my trip. so my weekend in summary post took a bit of a back seat. my apologies.... and for this lackluser post, with little to no description of what i actually did this weekend. nevertheless, this weekend was subtly amazing. nothing fancy. just pure, wonderful, toronto fun.
saturday: woke up late(ish), and had some breakfast, along with some tv. i've recently become addicted to twin peaks, so needless to say, this weekend had it's fair share of twin peaks gawking. then, we wandered downtown for some shopping for our trip - new sunglasses ("awwww you got matching sunglasses!"; "ummm... nope. those men's ones are for me too"), some travel sized things, and other boring shopping requirements when you're leaving the country. i introduced jeff to vietnamese subs (which is a large part of my life force, so i insist everyone should try them), and we had lunch that both of us were totally enraptured in. we then headed home, for some packing, organizing, cleaning, and cooking/eating. after a quick nap, we got up and ready to head out for steve's birthday.... downtown at their new place. hopped on the streetcar, and arrived on time for some good 'ole fashioned house party fun. at around 11:30, we all hopped in cabs (in the staggered way that house party guests do), and headed down to andy pool hall for a dance party celebration. super awesome dj meant super awesome rap/dubstep dance party (the BEST). stopped for burritos on the way home, and sat in bed watching twin peaks, and eating mexican before falling asleep WAY too late.
sunday: woke up in decent time, and after a quick shower, breakfast, tv watching, we headed to IKEA to wander. great sunday late afternoon activity. i did pick up a few things - including a gift for my neice for her 2nd birthday (SCARY), and then wandered to the grocery store for some pizza ingredients. homemade pizza, twin peaks, and then finishing my outfit choices for packing. perfect sunday night.
thursday eve drinks on robbie burns eve; a project present for a dear friend; mini arm party with vintage silver, simple cord and copper, and my little skulls; friday was a glum, yet lovely day; can't stop the rock; pulling out with the win; school yard - ball playing prohibited (via); viet subs; gimmie. my new starbucks name.
friday: after a late work day, i met jeff for some sushi for dinner, and then we headed off to the ACC to meet my sister kelly and a friend for a toronto rock game. we grabbed some drinks, and managed to turn jeff (the non-sports fan) onto the wonderful game of lacrosse. once the game was over, and the rock had won (hurrah!) we wandered around for a bit, trying to find a place to sit and have a drink. finally ended up at hoops (super classy, i know), where we had a drink, a quick (small) bite to eat, and then wandered back home.saturday: woke up late(ish), and had some breakfast, along with some tv. i've recently become addicted to twin peaks, so needless to say, this weekend had it's fair share of twin peaks gawking. then, we wandered downtown for some shopping for our trip - new sunglasses ("awwww you got matching sunglasses!"; "ummm... nope. those men's ones are for me too"), some travel sized things, and other boring shopping requirements when you're leaving the country. i introduced jeff to vietnamese subs (which is a large part of my life force, so i insist everyone should try them), and we had lunch that both of us were totally enraptured in. we then headed home, for some packing, organizing, cleaning, and cooking/eating. after a quick nap, we got up and ready to head out for steve's birthday.... downtown at their new place. hopped on the streetcar, and arrived on time for some good 'ole fashioned house party fun. at around 11:30, we all hopped in cabs (in the staggered way that house party guests do), and headed down to andy pool hall for a dance party celebration. super awesome dj meant super awesome rap/dubstep dance party (the BEST). stopped for burritos on the way home, and sat in bed watching twin peaks, and eating mexican before falling asleep WAY too late.
