This weekend I...

...was very busy. Yesterday I did some housework and was planning a quiet evening when I got a call from my oldest friend (we've been friends since grade 5) inviting me to a girls' night at her parents' place out in our hometown of Beaconsfield, which in in the west end of Montreal. We got together there with two of our friends from high school and ate home made spaghetti, chatted up a storm and laughed ourselves silly while playing Cranium. I got home very late though, at 2:30 in the morning and was in bed at 3:00. Luckily my landlord and his wife slept in this morning and I was able to sleep until 10:30 A.M., so getting to bed so late didn't do me any harm.

...socialized out a lot. After being out all night last night, I went to lunch with another good friend of mine at Ye Olde Orchard Pub, a Montreal 'institution' as we call our oldest and most well known watering holes and restaurants, to celebrate my birthday. They make a mean steak and mushroom pie, let me tell you! After that we came back to my place, she clipped my cats' claws for me because she's so darn good at it (whenever I try to do it, my cats hate me) and we watched an episode of the X-Files, one of our all-time favorite shows. After she left I hurried up to get ready, because my grandparents were coming to get me an hour after Val left to take me to my aunt and uncle's to celebrate my birthday yet again. It was fun, the food was great, but it was a short evening because all the guys (my dad, my brother and my grandpa) were fixated by the Canada-US hockey game and then my grandpa and my dad wanted to make it home before it finished so they wouldn't be out on the road with everyone else who had been out to watch the game and my brother wanted to watch the final period with his buddies at a sports bar. Too bad we lost...
