this weekend was like a bonus weekend - a weekend i wasn't supposed to have at home... so i spent it doing nothing.
Saturday: woke up fairly early, and headed back to waterdown. took a quick nap, and then drove over to spend the day relaxing, outside, with homemade guacamole and the sun with jamie (friend, not me). spent hours outside on her deck, chatting and getting some much needed (and deserved) sun and relaxing ‘do nothing’ time with her… something neither of us has done in a long time. we then headed out, and got our nails done (by the way I’m a HUGE fan of shellac… never anything else, from now on). I then headed home, and went for a walk to grab some food, and wait for my little sister darcy to get home. when she arrived and saw my taco bell (I know, I’m disgusting), she wanted some, so we headed to taco bell, and then to walmart for much needed knick knacks (sarcasm a plenty). we then hung out, chatted, watched dinner for schmucks, and drank fancy sparkly juice out of miniature teacups (which I’m 98% sure were actually espresso cups). nice Saturday night (we’re fancy, hunh?).
finished jewelry for karli’s wedding; a little piece of
their heart; a special cocktail on Friday in the sun – with erin; pat assisting
in the prosecco opening; nails like a girl (‘nails done, hair done, everythingdid’); fancy drinks from a teapot with darce; father’s day gift supreme; my dad
in all his glory
friday:
after having finished packaging karli’s wedding jewelry the night before, I
met with her for an early sushi lunch. Got to catch up a bit, as she’s been in
hectic wedding planning since the wedding is quickly approaching. Messaged erin
when I mentally checked out from my nutty day at work to meet me on the front
porch for drinks (It’s so nice to have friends who will drown your equal
amounts of misery in beautifully crafted drinks). Had a couple of drinks – one with
Pat joining – and then headed out for the jays game downtown. met
jeff at the GO station, and then headed in to meet up with the group. spent the
jays game watching them win, laughing lots, and reminiscing over babysitting. Then,
the group of us headed over to one of the couple’s houses, where we smish-smashed
some drinks together, and hung out in their downtown condo – overlooking the
crowds after the jays game (this also included a neck massage – best post jays
party EVER!). after some discussion, everyone hopped in some cabs and went off
to the madison (how do I end up here so often). since
my sister lost her wallet, we did the old ID switch, and both managed to get in
with my ids (I haven’t faked an ID for probably 10 years!). had some drinks,
chatted, and then everyone dissipated to their respective crash pads for the
night.Saturday: woke up fairly early, and headed back to waterdown. took a quick nap, and then drove over to spend the day relaxing, outside, with homemade guacamole and the sun with jamie (friend, not me). spent hours outside on her deck, chatting and getting some much needed (and deserved) sun and relaxing ‘do nothing’ time with her… something neither of us has done in a long time. we then headed out, and got our nails done (by the way I’m a HUGE fan of shellac… never anything else, from now on).

Sunday:
woke up late, showered, and had breakfast with jeff and his parents (them
talking, standing – us eating). hung out for a bit, and and mosied to starbucks
for a patio sit and beverage, and then a canadian tire trip for a new headlight
for his truck (drool for canadian tire, amiright?). then, steve popped by, and the
three of us hung out, while they chatted about their upcoming bike trip, both
rode jeff’s motorcycle, and jumped around on the downhill bike for awhile. had some
lunch, and then revisited canadian tire for the correct headlight bulb. then, to
my parent’s where I made my mom’s day, when I organized and purged a large
portion of my old stuff that’s been sitting in my room at my parent’s for
likely around a year. found some amazing notes from old friends and boyfriends,
and some extremely incriminating photos that I promptly destroyed. then,
wrapped dad’s gift from the sisters, and headed out with darcy to have dinner
with the fam for father’s day. A typical 2.5 hour dinner, with lots of interruptions,
and obnoxiously loud laughing (sorry all families who had to sit near us), and I
headed home at 10. Home, unpacked (a
bit), and got into bed. exhausted.
to reflect, i did: drink fancy drinks; reflect, and write and spend some along time; took some cabs; just like i thought i would in NYC. NYC replacement weekend - a success!
