Monday Madness

Actually no madness. It just has two m’s.

Just sat outside at a nearby park and read at lunch today. Nice to do so before the mosquitoes come.

First Monday night ultimate game of the year. Brother dear and his girlfriend are on the team. Should be fun. Although I just about died during our first Thursday night team game last week. Not so bad on Wednesday when I subbed in on the boy’s Wednesday night team but some of the players were better and there was less running. Also, we won Wednesday and lost horribly on Thursday.

Pretty chill weekend. The boy and I had sushi on Friday then went for a two hour walk around and into Little Italy. After went to my favourite bar to listen to three bands. M’s friends were in the first one and despite their music being the most random and perhaps not as good, they really had the best stage presence and they were tons of fun. Sadly the boy and I only lasted till around one or one thirty…I am so old!

Saturday, the boy did soccer practice and I did cleaning. Then he decided to surprise me for the rest of the day.

(I was pretty down because it was a gorgeous weekend and I was supposed to be at the cabin but B cancelled the cabin trip but then oh decided to go again, but with just the guys…and all I could think was that I could have been at the cabin swimming and reading by the dock, sipping wine-yes I could have gone to my parents but I would have had to have gone up with my mother and the dog and spending that much time with my parents without siblings, is not remotely relaxing)

We ran a couple of errands and then we went to look at laptops. He is determined that I just get one already. Hurrah for tax returns. Looking at the prices he decided and managed to convince me that it would be just cheaper to buy the model online and get it shipped out as opposed to buying it at the store. It really was, so I got the better laptop for much cheaper with free shipping. I think this is step one to getting out of my rut.

Afterwards we just kept driving and the boy refused to tell me where. So we ended up playing the ‘we are going to the farm to tip cows aren’t we’ game, You know, the one where you pass by random places and say, yes we are going there and then you do one too many and you say it sarcastically but it turns out you are actually going there and you ruined the surprise with your sarcasm.

But it didn’t quite go that far.

Ended up at the beach. There were a few brave swimmers. I got my feet in the sand and in the water and we walked around, he got ice cream and then we read the paper on the beach.

Pretty nice surprise. This was the boy attempting to make up for the fact that I did not get to go to the lake.

We stopped in on the way back for ‘world famous hotdogs’. I did not find them world famous and think someone should say something. We also walked around a bit then hit up the arcade. The boy played one of those old school shoot em up games and I played several pinball games. I love pinball. Have loved it since I was a kid and we were up at the lake and my dad would take me and my siblings to the old arcade so give my mom some peace and quiet. After all that we took a long windy drive along the river and saw all the really rich homes people had built out in the RM. Really nice rich homes. Who lives in these things?? Dammit. I want one.

Got back just in time to change and then I headed to a friend’s divorce party. Only stayed for around an hour and a half before heading over to check out a friend’s new apartment. Had some wine /girlie movies/t.v shows and a catchup till past two in the morning, good fun. I like her new place. It is sort of creepy though because it’s about a ten minute walk from the house I grew up in and moved out of when I was eight. So she didn’t even have to give me directions, I knew exactly where her apartment building was. She suggested I move into her end of the city but no. The next time I move, it is going to be somewhere central, not out in the heart of the burbs.

Sunday was lazy. Went over to a friends place in the afternoon. She was out gardening most of the day so I checked out what she had been up too. Shared a bottle of wine. Then she gave me a bottle of white because she is not a white fan. Score! Then the boy had a meeting that evening (besides the one he had already had at lunch) so I made dinner then went for a two hour walk with his roommate and showed him the boy’s new house. We stopped for tea along the way which was nice. The boy texted me he was on his way because I had his keys and had to let him in, so he ended up picking us up so we didn’t quite finish our walk which would have taken at least another half hour, fourty-five minutes. Walked the whole evening in a skirt and a tank top and was not even cold. I

So all in all, a pretty chill weekend but got out and enjoyed the weather.

Next step.

Bike.

This week, just the usual ultimate games. His Wednesday team was trying to recruit me…but not sure…I do like actually being out and about doing non sports related things during the week…like drinking…okay you do that with ultimate too…but the first involves no exercise before you get the alcohol.

Probably doing whine and wine with a friend. Should be nice Long weekend this weekend but nothing big planned. Booo. The boy and I were thinking of something but it would just be too late minute. Perhaps the weekend after the long weekend though. When places are not quite so filled up.

Wine fest was fun. Good group of people. But hard to keep a group of about ten people in one spot, so we mostly just split up. Got made fun of for taking notes so stopped and then ended up drinking probably a bit more because I wasn’t stopping to take notes. Stupid friends.

Ultimate party and practise were good. Brother dear and girlfriend showed up for the practice. They are already better at it then me.

Went to the boy’s grandmother’s birthday. It was Chinese which I am not a fan of, nor does it agree with me at all but it was still nice. Best part was the lemon poppyseed cake afterwards at her apartment.

Couple of Fridays ago it was just going to have one drink afterwork with a friend but it turned into a bottle of red, and just one tapa which turned into three and dinner and one more drink and then she missed her bus so that meant one more drink. Boy was out and about but after tipsily running a couple of errands, I was back by a little after ten and content to be so. Saturday usually errands, cleaning, ect, then walk with a friend for a couple of hours and movie night with the boy.
