what a VANTASTIC weekend

Sorry Van but I'm about to describe the most fantastic weekend ever. Unfortunately, you ditched Doris and I for Edmonton so you missed out, so this summary is for you.

1) THURSDAY -- Van left after work to go to Edmonton. Doris and I went to the YMCA for the second day in the row. After going to the YMCA we went to the Keg to gorge ourselves on delicious steak. Then, after having the best dinner of our lives, we went to Muse for dessert. Our totally hot waiter however, managed to get us free deserts if we bought drinks. Of course, being totally susceptible to our charms, the waiter bought our drinks for us. SCORE!

2) FRIDAY -- I had the day off because it was my flex day. So firstly, I went to Crave to get some cupcakes for my roommate. It was her birthday and everyone loves cupcakes. Then I went downtown to another YMCA to meet Doris up for more working out. We were headed home to meet up with Cara, our friend coming down from Edmonton for the weekend. We made the most delicious chicken drumstick, potato and onion baked dish for dinner and then DDR'ed the night away. This was after we ate cupcake after cupcake of course. Princess cupcakes from Crave are to die for. One notable event of the night was when we were eating our cupcakes with Krista and her boyfriend. Out of nowhere, a glass bottle of RED wine from the top of our fridge decides to kamikaze onto our kitchen floor. It somehow made it past the box of granola bars that was sitting in front of it, and also misses hitting the stove, which is right next to the fridge. It travelled at least three feet to its final destination where it crashed and stained everything in sight, including our white cabinet doors. After attempting to clean the mess, we discover that some of the cabinets are only covered in primer as the white begins to rub away as we clean to expose the wood beneath. We are still in wonder as to exactly how the wine could have thrown itself off the fridge.

3) SATURDAY -- Doris and I headed to another YMCA. We met some cuties at the gym so we invited them to come with us grocery shopping for our hockey game party. Of course, they ended up paying for our snacks. Back at home, we watched our disappointing hockey game (damn you flamers) but had good company at least. We had the best nachos ever and some booze to boot. DDR finished the night off.

4) SUNDAY -- Doris, Cara and I woke up at 8 am to watch Moulin Rouge because Cara had never seen it. After that we went to have brunch at Nellies. Let me tell you, blueberry pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, ham, sausage, bacon strips, muffins, hash browns and fruit make up the most delicous breakfast I've had in quite some time. SOOO GOOOOOD. Cara had to begin her trip back home, so after saying our goodbyes, Doris and I walked along Kensington where we bought quite a few used books. Then we went home, and here I am now.

I have to find a new bus route to ride tomorrow to my new work building...

If you're NOT Van, highlight below.

I may have exagerrated or made up some of the above events.. but mostly in efforts to make Van jealous. I'm sure you've figured out that the only parts I made up are the ones involving males... because we all know Doris and I are smart enough not to waste our time with stupid boys... :P
