An upgrade was overdue...
Let this be the first and last major purchase of 2014!
I am so exhausted today. After work, I went to the mall with C for four hours doing some Christmas shopping. It sucks shopping in Ottawa because all the stuff that is your size is sold out. Always. Nothing is ever "in stock."
I should really stop buying things since buying this IPad put me in debt, but Christmas is approaching and I need to get so much stuff out of the way. There are so many Christmas potlucks/luncheons/dinners/parties so getting the "gift" part over and done with will be a relief.
Yesterday, me and Ira went to get Becky's birthday present and I finally bought my running shoes.
We bought her the home and away Toronto Maple Leafs jersey since she is a crazy Leafs fan. Cute eh?!
Yes, they're green but that's not why I bought them. After considerable research, I decided just to dish out for the higher-end pair but I lucked out in the end because there was a sale + SPC discount.
Becky joined us after and we picked up Gerald from the airport. Then me and Ira went on our adventure to four different Rogers trying to return the darned cable box. It was worth the trip because we met this guy with a sexy Scottish accent (I can't wait to go to Europe).
My bananas were beyond ripe so I had to make use of them: I made banana brownies and banana muffins from scratch.
We briefly went to 7-11 to get free slushies with our expired coupon. When we came back, James joined us for the baked goods and then we had a mini-jam session in Ira's room.
Pure poses.
The true musician!
Today is Becky's 22nd birthday.
This is the card I got her featuring her lover from her fave show, Prison Break. We went paintballing at this small place in Kitchener called Paintball Arena. By the end of it, we were all absolutely disgusting but it was fun, although I much prefer laser tag!
Other highlights:
- Late late night girl talk with Ira and Lilian. The trio is best
- Tennis with Michael, Jacey and Ira
- McDees with Jackie and Ira. We got free ice coffee that kept us awake til 7AM
- Becky made me special dinner: chicken with spaghetti squash... mmm, I love it
But I am sick and its made the past couple of days sucky.
This has been a very relaxing two week vacation. I spent a lot of time with my family and friends and I guess going back to school for the summer won't be all that bad. I kind of miss it (and now I can't imagine life without Waterloo to fall back on). These are my highlights, so far:
- Went out for beer/wings with Howard, and the waitress girl asked me questions about Laurier for a while before even getting served. I kept having to pause and say, "Sorry, Howard"
- My baby friends abso-freakin-lutely LOVE "Auntie Me-lon." I don't know what it is, but Mercedes DIDN'T want to go home because she wanted to play with me. She got so sad because her parents wouldn't let her stay! If they didn't drag her, she would've had her first overnight stay away from home
- Working out and swimming days with Priscilla = FUN. Oh, the hot tub............. how we love it. Oh, and also church - being introduced to my new favourite pastor, Pastor Greg! I also can't wait to go to J&F this Sunday
- Getting drunk on two glasses of wine and throwing up in my friend's car = not a pretty sight = SORRY FRIEND. I am severely restricting myself from overdrinking (the first step is admitting you have a problem)!!!
- Party in Toronto @ Vitor's. Fun fun fun, and also sad because Seth is leaving to Chicago
- Bombarding V-bear at work and hugging her lesbianingly in front of all her managers. We had lunch and major FUN FUN shopping day after work!
- Leaving Richard's house about to leave to catch a movie when my car doesn't start up. Richard has to DRIVE to my house (with me, Vanessa and Dennis also in the car. P.S. DENNIS IS BACK!!!) and PICK UP my DAD and drive him back to his place where our car is... to fix it. Talk about one of the most awkward moments of my life
- Tania, aka. Ms. Rich treated me and Andrew to bubbletea at the new BR! The old BR totally trumps the new one. I came home and went to bed that night, got the chills and got a high degree fever and couldn't sleep a wink until like 6am. Been sick ever since
So yeah, I am 100x better except I think I'm catching a common cold now which sucks ass. Just when weather is starting to get nice again. Four days left until school...
Fab weekend, friends.
Poker night last night! It was my idea to begin with but I didn't get to play because I went home for the past two weekends. I put in $2 (while Klaus put in $20) and I managed to hang in there for a while at least so I'm proud of myself. Of course, Mike Murakami took the whole pot home again as usual! I was cheering him on to lose the entire time.
Me, Ira, Mike, Jacey and Monica went to try out the new Japanese fusion restaurant "Iron Chef" (not the same teppanyaki place as in Mississauga) and people, it SUCKS. Grossly expensive, disgusting, small portions, bad service = 0/5 on my scale. Then poker, rock band and blackjack at Jackie's house.
I Greyhounded this morning to Toronto and had a DELICIOUS lunch at Sassafraz with Vanessa, Chris and Drish for Winterlicious. It's my new favourite restaurant. Absolutely gorgeous on the inside, exceptional service, generous portions and most importantly, DELICIOUS FOOD. We shopped for a bit downtown (FOREVER21!!!) and then I took the bus back to Waterloo at 7pm. Yes, I spent a lot of money today but I can't say it wasn't worth it ;)
I had a good weekend. We celebrated Kevin's bday at Morty's on Thursday, temporarily headed to Justin's house to help break into James's door and then house party at Shannon's house for a bit. Friday morning, Mike drove us home for the weekend and I spent the entire day doing my work at home (believably!). Saturday, me and Charis headed downtown because she was on a mission to buy her Longchamp bag. P.S. We totally ran into Kevin and gang on the subway for his birthday dinner number two! What are the odds. Then I headed by myself to Don Mills & Eglinton area to Memories of Japan for Seth's birthday dinner where EVERYONE showed up late! Then we headed to Seth's place after for a bit but couldn't stay too long because me and Vanoo had to catch the last Go Bus back home...
