Beach Day

It's a bit hard to see, but there is a man standing on a surfboard like thing and rowing his way across. Amazing.

Sometime a couple of weeks ago, we ventured to the beach. There was some confusion regarding whether we were going to "the beach" or "the Beaches", which was unintentional. Sorry ahha. It was one of the first really nice days in Toronto and so many people were out. I truly love Toronto in the summer. Really wish we had a lake in the city we could actually swim in though. But can't have it all, now can we?

Cottage Weekend

Birthday

I'm really not much of a birthday person at all. In regards to my birthday at least. Other people's I get excited for; mine not so much. I guess it also has to do with the whole inevitable life evaluating thoughts that plague my mind around this time. After much distress about what to do, and a general wanting to do absolutely nothing, I showed up at Stephen's house. I walked into a Mexican themed fiesta surprise party which lifted my mood and was impressively themed down to the tequila napkins. My friends and Stephen planned an amazing party and we all had a blast. It turned out be a great birthday after all :)

Birthday & Clothing Show

Haven't written in a while. Need to get back on track. The last couple of weeks have been somewhat of a rollercoaster in terms of Stephen and I. I feel like now things are somewhat back to being great again. Hopefully it will remain and grow into something even greater :)

Last weekend was Bianca's birthday. On Friday, we ended up getting a room at the Hilton Garden Inn and going to Century Room afterwards. I met up with Kim and Tony for dinner at the Rivoli after their helicopter ride (Tony's birthday present to Kim). I tried their mac 'n cheese which I did not find tasty at all.

I love my ice.

Bleh.

I didn't really have that great of a time in the club. But the whole night was pretty entertaining overall. I think I went to sleep at 5:30 am and woke up at 7 and went to Cora's for breakfast with Kim. After I got home in the afternoon I ended up falling asleep and the rest of the day was mostly a write-off.

The aftermath.

Someone's not feeling that great.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Sleep deprived.

On Sunday, Kim and I ventured to the Clothing Show. It was a gorgeous day out, and I figured it would be interesting to check out the stuff they had. I didn't end up getting anything except for four boxes of very interesting cookies (at a clothing show, go figure :P). Ended up running into Stephen's sisters (one of whom I have not met yet, as she lives in Australia and just recently came into town to visit), which was amusing. Later on we ventured to a shisha bar called Desert Nights, where Tony and Aliona came to meet us. It was a nice place to just chill out and talk. Can't say I really liked the shisha there though. Overall, I liked how it was an eventfull weekend.

Louboutins :)

Cottage - Day 1

Last weekend we ventured north to Blue Mountain for Kim's birthday celebration. Friday was somewhat hectic and hilarious. On Thursday evening, I found out that Stephen's sister that lives in Australia was flying in on Friday afternoon. So we were going to stop by the airport on the way up to the cottage. While at work on Friday, I got notice that Kim missed her flight back to Toronto from Mexico where she was for a week prior for work purposes. Her boyfriend, Tony, was supposed to pick her up at 4pm, when she would have arrived and then gone straight to the cottage. It turned out that she was now arriving at 6:40pm. Since oddly enough, we were planning to be at the airport around that time anyways, we were going to pick her up. After work, I madly drove around trying to find suitable flowers for both Stephen's sister and Kim. Getting stuck in rush hour traffic certainly did not help. Upon getting to Stephen's house around 6pm, we packed the car and started making our way to the airport. Kim landed early. Stephen's sister ended up leaving before he had a chance to see her. :(

We went grocery shopping, stopped for food, got gas, and finally were on our way up to Collingwood around 8:45pm or so. With my speedy driving, we got there around 10pm I believe. Although we got lost trying to find the street itself, so we probably got to the actual house a bit later. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Tony, Aliona, Daniel, and Tony's friends Dan and Ria. The rest of the night was spent celebrating Kim's birthday. Stephen and I ended up getting caught up in conversation for a while, and when we emerged back out were surprised to find that everyone had gone to sleep. Since it was still somewhat early, we decided to try out the hot tub. It wasn't as hot as it should have been to be pleasant, so we moved on the the sauna. The recommended temperature was 50C, but we got it up to 80C and it was awesome. Was slightly exhausted after, but it was worth it. We were in there for quite some time :P

Someone doesn't know how to center the picture.

:)

Spiiiiriiiitsssss.

The cake Tony had made for Kim in Betsey Johnson style.

She was surprised and happy to see it.

Quite yummy.

Last picture of the night. Maybe that's a good thing.
