becasue this weekend was a going away party of sorts, there are few photos, and most of them involve me in leggings. i always forget to dress like a real human being.
saturday: woke up late (very late) and then headed straight out to get some groceries for that night. spent some time shopping, and then headed to waterdown to my parents for a visit, and party prep. the rest of the day and evening was spent drinking tea, prepping some food for the party, and then with the arrival of friends came dinner, drinks, lots of playing with babies (hence the reason for the lack of photos), and lots of catch up. it was a late night, but good and filled with lots of good chats and quality time.
sunday: woke up early (first to a baby crying - thank GOODNESS not mine... as i had a bit of a panic when i thought i missed out on 9-11 months, and suddenly had a child), for real once my dad came to call on me (after all my close friends said, 'we know jamie well enough to know none of us wants to be the one to wake her up'), and we whipped together a massive post party breakfast. then, after departures, i spent the rest of the morning/afternoon watching movies with my mom and dad (an army movie from the 80's that my dad found hilarious, and then fargo, because i'd never ever seen it, and needed to), and clearing out the last of the remaining boxes from my parents garage. trudged through it all, and was rewarded with a container full of chain from my last move 4 years ago. then, headed out to see django (so i could finally join the rest of the world), and have a nice dinner at enoteca sociale. then, late to bed... after a full full day.
i ate meat for my 6 year vega-versary (via); the little niece loves our parties; niece auntie time in the midst of the chaos; jeff and i were iced. very late in the game; kim supervising the party fun; just some cuddling before bed; the breakfast spread; friends digging in; found chain soon to become jewelry for my departure
friday: after work finished up, i met abby at the bell lightbox to see 'No' - which we had both been salivating to find... and only played once in toronto (wonderful movie - if you get the chance). as always, delighted in seeing a movie at the bell lightbox, becasue of the cheap popcorn, and the amazing atmosphere that comes with a beautiful new theatre, and more documentary featured showings. when the movie was done, we went our seperate ways, and i went home to pack, watch a 30 for 30, and then pack up in my car for my last drive home from toronto in my car (as it's being sold!). arrived in ancaster to hang out with jeff, watched twin peaks, and just caught up on life.saturday: woke up late (very late) and then headed straight out to get some groceries for that night. spent some time shopping, and then headed to waterdown to my parents for a visit, and party prep. the rest of the day and evening was spent drinking tea, prepping some food for the party, and then with the arrival of friends came dinner, drinks, lots of playing with babies (hence the reason for the lack of photos), and lots of catch up. it was a late night, but good and filled with lots of good chats and quality time.
