Alright, thanks to Warren, I'm back to bloggin'! Now I get get back into my routine... It's been almost a week since I've been able to write and so much has happened since then. Last week-end was my friend Anita's 30th birthday and we had the best time! I swear the best part was watching how happy she was all day long, I think her face must have hurt the next day from all the smilling. All I can say is that she has wonderful friends that really love her and appreciate her friendship (that includes me!). We took her from one location to the next without her knowing and I have to say that every stop was great fun!
Stop #1: Ice skating... Most of the people who went hadn't been ice skating for like 10 years with the exception of Allen, who was alll pro like with his own skates and skate tighners. We were a little wobbly at first but then it came back, and we were less wobbly.. really fun but a little painful, my feet felt like they were on fire which could have been one of two things: either the rent-a-skate funk or my weak ankles. Sakting was so much fun infact, that we will be returning soon..or soonish!
Stop #2: Anita goes for manicure at Tonic
Stop #3: We all go back to Anita's to watch her open gifts and holly shit did she rake in the goodies! Very spoiled but very deserving of it all... And we watched a video that her friends and I made. It was like a "This is your life" type video with all (or most of) Anita's friends saying their story about how they met and how much they all love her etc...Which is the reason why I couldn't write much last week since that video took up all of my time, now don;t get me wrong I ain't complianing, trust me, Anita is well worth all the work! It was great, the best part of course was watching Anita break down into tears a the photo montage at the end....heh heh!
Stop #4: Dinner at Souvenir de Bankok on St-Catherine. Very nice Thai place. At this point the head count was up to 21. I was sitting next to one of Anita's friends (well I guess they were all Anita's friends but I don't want to say names cause some of you wont know who they are and I don't feel like expalining their story) and she suggested I order the chiken in peanut sauce with crispy spinach.. Sounds good, but litlle did I know that it also came swimming in mushrooms, needless to say I HATE mushrooms..Even thought I pushed them asside, their taste lingered in the peanut sauce and dinner was officially ruined, but the steamed rice was delicious! I was also given a Jewish name: Shushy. They gave it to me because most of Anita's good friends are Jewish, except me, and I was feeling left out so they gave me a Jewish name to make me part of the "in" crowd.. (I was so touched that when I got home I lit a canlde)
Stop #5: Jillian's ant the AMC (old forum) for disco/black light bowling. I think I bowled like 25 or something stupid like that....We then went downstairs where there's this great arcade andplayed games and talked until closing. We got back to Anita at around 03h30 and got to bet at around 05h00...
All i have to say is that whenb I turn 30, I want all of Anita's friends there. They are a great bunch and I had a lot of fun with them...
I realize that by being a week late writting this, some of you may have already read this in Steph or J's journals but just deal with it, it's my turn.
So happy to be back. I'm sure I'll write again today to fill you in on the rest of the week, but right now, all I can think about is hot shower and then putting on my favorite jammies that are still warm from the dryer and curling up on the couch and napping....Ahhhh how I love a day off.
