Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all. Thankfully, I am no longer sick and can enjoy the little bit of time I have with my father today. He has to work later this afternoon so we are having our little celebratory lunch in a little bit. My father has been one of the greatest joys and fustrations of my life (don't worry, he would say the very same about me). We are too much alike for our own goods. So essentially when we get along we get along amazingly. When we don't, well lets just say the neighbourhood knows and it's not pretty.

Another Epic Weekend... Country Club Brunch, Castle Fun Park, Sex and the City, and one Very Clean Kitchen!

Another weekend of epic proportions! Saturday saw an extremely sick A, so I volunteered to go to work for her. When I showed up, A, our boss, and a picker were there. Since Saturday's are typically dead, I headed home. When Ma got home (we had previously planned to go to some farm markets) we decided to go grocery shopping (oh thank you! finally). After putting away the groceries some form of a bug must of hit me because I emptied, tossed and scrubbed the fridge, freezer, and all cupboards that contain any form of food.



After this (and of course the dinner that I made and cleaned up) I headed up to AS's for the Nine Inch Nails experience. CC, Miss M, and I made (and drank) several daiquiris, pasta, and chocolate cake. AS and D showed up followed by EZ, Chi, and Chi's bf, AH. Just the cooking and baking alone was an experience in a beautiful but useless (no utensils, mixing bowl, non stick spray etc... all kitchen essentials according to me) kitchen. After one exceptionally embarrassing call (my ex-bosses fiance looking for some hookah supplies... in my defence (yes I know it is not a good defence) people should all have different names!), we headed down to the steam room. After a little bit, AS piped in the Ghosts cd. Ok, ridiculously trippy... I seriously thought I was trapezing through a jungle. Throw in some steam and several people in a small room without being able to see... OMG! Hands just come at you, all you can hear is people tripping over the music and no one really knew where they were. So freaking intense!



Cue Sunday morning/ afternoon. Off to brunch at the country club. I wish I could go by this pic and say that S was playing the piano (she can actually play and did volunteer but all I really wanted was the pic). Brunch was amazing! But then I always love it. Crepes, bacon, french toast, waffles, and of course all the lunch objects. I really always stick to the breakfast foods because how often do we have breakfast foods out? And I love breakfast!




Apres brunch, Castle Fun Park! Go Karting, arcade games, mini golf, batting cages and so much more. And oh so many kids on a Sunday! And not in a good way. Hangover headache, pre bitchiness and loud, screaming children. Oh dear God! Why why why? Ok it wasn't too bad. But thank, thank, thankfully, I had to leave to pick up Ma! Ok a 45 minute drive to get Ma but I got to leave.


By 7:00, Ma, Aunt K and I are set with our seats to see Sex and the City. I haven't eaten since about 1:30 and I am dying (it's a 2.5 hour long movie people!). Great movie. Bad lines. Who would have thought a theatre would be so so busy on a Sunday night. It was. And I nearly punched two girls standing behind me in the uber slow concession line. Apparently theatres don't believe in opening actually food stands on Sundays. Loud, rude, obnoxious, and constantly moving which inevitably lead to stepping on me, shoves and the guy in front of me (whose back I was nearly on top of thanks to these two) about ready to kill them. It was a good night though.

I had to include this because when Chi passed me on the freeway she claims I look like a diva driving with my glasses on. Granted it was cloudy. But clouds are bright when you have a brutal headache that you believe may seem like the start of a migraine. Diva like? Yes or no?

Single? Keep Reading. In a Relationship? Keep Reading
Why is it that friend's who are in a relationship continually feel the need to set up their single friends? A, CC, and Chi constantly try to match make. A has even taken it to the point that she tries to set people up with Chi because she doesn't like Chi's bf. She is also trying to set up a guy that we work with. Thank God that means she had diverted her attention from me for the time being. I just don't get why people (particularly women) who are in relationships continually have to set up their single friends. My mom even tried to get Bro to set me up with one of his friend's brothers at dinner the other night. I have been through many set ups (as you can tell none had stellar results). People give up. And please, please stop giving me the excuse "well I just want you to be as happy as bf and I." Well I would be a hell of a lot happier if you all would just back the eff off. When I find someone I find someone, until then (unless I say otherwise) just assume that I (and all other singletons out there) are perfectly happy on our own.

Girl's Night Out
Saturday night, A, CC and I headed out for a girls night. After A met Ma and I at the restaurant we headed back to my place because I still needed to get ready. Because we had some time before CC got there, A and I headed downstairs for some (always good times) Rockband with Bro and his friends. Bro lost the mic somewhere
but that didn't deter us. PR and I were playing guitar and belting out songs. A was right beside be belting (kind of strange for her she's not big on the singing in front of people thing). When CC got there we headed down to Hennessey for some excellent martinis and tapas. Of course after the tapas I had to have my lemon tart (mmmm). By the time the third round came, AC (a guy A and I work with) and a couple of his friend's showed up. His one friend got in an argument with CC that Miranda is the cougar in Sex in the City when we all know Samantha is the cougar. Then he some how thought (and ran with this) that I write for a local newspaper. Love to but no. As much as I do love the paper he thought I wrote for, if I was going to write for a newspaper it would be a better paper. Because I drove, I switched to water part way through. So when I got home I headed back down to Bro and his friend's and continued to build on the buzz. Good night all in all.
