A full weekend!

Oh wow! What a weekend! Ok so granted I haven't been able to really sleep in or relax with the kitties this weekend.. but... What a weekend it was!

It all started on Friday when Lauren and I took in the 3D Imax Beowulf movie. Ok so the movie really kinda sucked compared to Beowulf and Grendel (starring Gerard Butler). But we were able to have a great slice of pizza from "pizza pizza" in the Scotiabank Theatre and it was an interesting experience seeing the movie in 3D.

Then, bright and early Saturday morning, Lauren and I picked up Nancy from her place and took her to Cora's for breakfast. It was an early start (7:30 am breakfast on a Saturday morning) but it was so great having breakfast with Lauren and Nancy and being able to celebrate Nancy's birthday with her. Cora's was also celebrating this week so they had balloons all over which was so appropriate. Lauren even won a travel mug during one of the hourly draws! The staff came and sang to Nancy and they presented her with a really pretty swan made from a skillfully cut apple.

Part of the experience at Cora's too, is the little Stockholm Syndrome-esque crush I have on one of the waiters there. I have been seeing him there once or twice a month for the last year and I think he's groovy lol! I definitely sense a bit of chemistry but we'll see what happens there!

After breakfast, we drove Nancy to Mount Royal College for her class and then went to a chiropractor appointment. We had planned on a lot of downtime between breakfast and the early 4pm dinner but we only got a quick clothing shopping trip in before having to head over to Debbie's place. I picked up a couple really hot shirts and a new bra that magically picks up my "girls" and puts them in the right place. Hot hot hot!

So dinner was fun, early (which suits me fine because I can eat any time as long as I have the time to eat!) . I met some new people which makes me happy, and I was able to spend some time with my family. I was preoccupied though and for that I feel bad. I had some things on my mind. I was a girl wearing a hot new blouse and my magic bra, and I felt like a million bucks!

So after dinner we all went to Deb's place for guitar hero/singstar/american idol games, and a few healthy snacks. For the first time, I sampled some pineapple and tomato salsa and I was impressed. I love tomatoes and I love pineapple so it was a big hit. I also got the recipe!
We watched some of the boys play guitar hero for a short while but then the girls kicked up a game of singstar and a couple of the guys joined us. It was so much fun!

Lets just say that Britney Spears, Yoda, Regis Philbin and Herbert (the 80 yr old pedophile from Family Guy) were all featured! I haven't laughed that much in hmm a looong time! We got home late.. after 1am..

So Sunday we planned brunch with Alice to celebrate her birthday which was the previous Thursday. We decided late Saturday night to move the brunch to noon, and so Debbie, Michael, Lauren, Alice and I were all enjoying a brunch buffet. The food was great and it is always nice to have a variety of anything you want to eat!

After brunch, Lauren and I ran home to relax for about an hour before heading out to dinner at Milestones and the Theatre. I changed into another sexy top and we headed downtown. Dinner was nice but kind of annoying. They accidentally rang in the wrong order for me and so I had to wait longer for my Grilled Seafood Salad. It is ironic too since I take the longest to eat!

So I finally got my meal, ate and after Alice had her amazing ganache dessert, we paid and headed to the theatre.

Some of the group ran ahead to get in line because tonight was the Director's Cut of the musical mystery play "The Mystery of Edwin Drood". At only $10 a head tonight (compared to the regular $31) it was a steal!

If anyone is curious, after having seen the play, I highly recommend it and would have gladly paid $31. It is at the Vergito Theatre at the base of the Calgary Tower.

It was an interractive play which allowed to audience to decide the final outcome! Well acted and even better, the performances were over and above any I have seen before.

So here I blog, at 12 am and I am beat tired but still whirling from a weekend of family, friends, fun, flirting, fantastic food, music and the theatre.

This weeked was AWESOME! I will never forget it!
