sooo... now we're onto current. again, a crazy weekend of lots of time with friends.
Thursday: I went to the
one of a kind show with my friend Helen, where we scoured for ideas for our monthly craft meeting. Found some amazing art by some incredible artists. I purchased a pair of earrings, some magnets/greeting card, and some hot sauce meets salsa combo. I will also draw everyone’s attention to this artist –
lauren blakey. Beautiful. We then went to
pho phoung by my house for dinner – I had never been, worrying that there would not be a lot I could eat there… but lo and behold, I’ve found my new place. The food was AMAZING, inexpensive, quick. Then Helen dropped me off, and had a good sleep

Friday: I didn’t have plans, but through some quick facebook communication, my friend drew invited me over for dinner, and with the intent on heading to the
jays home opener to get scalper tickets. When I arrived, drew’s brother and fiancé were there, so drew’s fiancé samira, kyle, kyle’s fiancé sandy, and drew and I ate dinner, watched the game on tv, laughed a ton, and were entertained by kyle and sandy’s (fairly new) puppy. It was a great night to catch up with drew and kyle (whom I’ve known since elementary school), and their respective partners. Headed home pretty late, and had a GREAT sleep after a full night.

Saturday: woke up, and in an attempt to get
sneaky d’s brunch (which I was craving) text messaged almost everyone in knew who I thought might be available in the city. To no avail. I ended up meeting up with Erika and her bf Matt downtown, for some sushi lunch. It was so nice to catch up with Erika, and find out about her new job, etc. they also helped me pick out new sunglasses – always a good thing! I then met up with art for some food, drinks, and lots of sports – 2 bball games, and 2 hockey games. Our mutual friend tom stopped by briefly on his way downtown as well, so we got a quick hello with him in. I love hanging out with any of the guys from laurier because I never ever have to worry about being on an accidental date. We were at the bar late, and I’m sure the waitress wanted us to go. But we had a blast. Art walked me back to my car, and got home again, too late.
Sunday: woke up in time to get dressed, and head downtown. The plan was to meet up with a group of people for another high school friend Matt’s bday, watch a
jays game, and arrive early enough to get a
jose bautista bobblehead. Apparently 20,000 other people had the same idea – they were gone hours before the game. The 15 of us sat up in the 500’s, chatting, watching the game, talking sports, and (most of them) drinking beer. I then messaged Kelly (a friend from work) to meet us at bier markt for some food and drinks. More great conversation, good food. We left after some goodbyes, and I headed home to quickly change for
cole’s place – where he was having a
degrassi showing of his 2 new episodes. A bunch of us sat, ate junk food that he always spoils us with, and had good chats over some great episodes. Headed home around midnight, and slept like a baby.
Again…. I’m lucky to have great friends. It was a mostly high school friend weekend – and that’s a great thing!
ps. this is old news, but i'm still proud. cole, and his writing partner matt, made the
list of top ten to watch. check it out. i'm friends with him! i am lucky! ah!
