I guess I'll start off with Friday.
I worked till 2 then took off to Edmonton :D It was a fast drive up to Edmonton although it sucked driving away from nice weather. We get into Edmonton and it's raining. :P but at least it only lasted like a few minutes then it was gone. Haha.Then we get to Blake's parentals and we had Chinese food. It was nice because instead of doing things that night we just chilled around the house. We hardly ever get to do that. It seems like it's always go go go. So we sat around and watched some tv there and went to bed fairly early because we knew it was going to be a busy day on Saturday.
Saturday morning... I didn't get to sleep in. :( Boo urns. I hate that Blake has to wake @ 630 but I wish that we had actually got to sleep with no interruptions until then. Blake's mom is exactly like Blake where as if he's up, you are too. Haha. She acted like no one was in the house at 530 and is talking to my cat loudly, because well.. my cat has an early wake up schedule too. :P
But at least I blocked it out and grabbed an hour after waking up and I was up up at 630. So I ended up finishing the book I borrowed from my sister. Shoe Addicts Anonymous. :D It was a pretty good book. Makes me want to go and get the next book by Beth Harbison.. now if only I could remember the name of it.
So after Blake's meeting we got ready to head to SONIC BOOM. :D
So much fun. I got to meet Alexisonfire and I have their autographs and pictures with them and I took a picture of Jason Mews ( Jay from Jay and Silent Bob). It's of him running away but you can clearly tell it's him. :P I also got a picture with Lochlyn Munro. He played Craig on Night at the Roxbury. So funny. While I was there I had no idea who he was but I went home and IMDB his butt and found out who he was. Haha.

I have three favorite bands that I saw. They were The Wet Secrets/ Metric and Franz Ferdinand. I'm sure Taking Back Sunday would have been one but they missed there plane. Sucks. :P and Alexisonfire would have been too but I didn't stay for them or for Billy Talent. It's not that I didn't want to.
But because we already had to go out and see Blake's friend Dre because that was originally the plan. We were going for his 27th birthday. We got Dre a Crystal Skull vodka bottle. So cool. It'll be even cooler when he finishes it and can use it as decoration. So Saturday we were out and about, but managed to get home for midnight. Then we passed out because .. we were dummies and didn't bring sunscreen and we ended up burning our faces and I'm pretty sure we got heat stroke too.
Apparently, that night my poor little brother was bike riding around with his friends and ate the pavement. He got scratched up pretty bad and ended breaking his wrist. My parents went to the hospital at 430 in the morning because he couldn't sleep because he was in too much pain. Poor kid. He needs to drink more milk and stop biking like a crazy person. Haha.

Sunday was pretty much busy again... I wanted to go to Walmart and get new pillows and it was a perfect time to go because Blake's mom always loves a good Walmart trip. I ended up spending money there on 2 awesome/comfy pillows/a new kettle because my other one crapped out Thursday and I got Adventureland. Love that movie. It's set at a pretty slow pace but it's perfect for a lazy feeling day like Sunday was. We ended up watching it over at Blake's friend Kevin's house in the afternoon because Kevin has a crush on Kristen Stewart (barf!) before we jetted off to my parents for supper. We were planning on spending the evening there and not just supper and watching Big Brother but Graham told Kimi & Brett were were in town and so we ended up going over there to see adorable little Caylin. She's getting so big and it soo smart and here I am in Calgary missing it. :( After Caylin went to bed, we ended up playing Bochie(sp?) ball for an hour. By the time we were going to head back to my parents, they were already heading to bed. So we ended up going to my sisters place and checking out their new digs. It's a pretty nice little set up she's got going on. I thought for sure that there was going to be more purple/girlie in the room though. Haha. We left there and went home to Blake's parents and we stayed up for a half hour before crashing for the night. It turned out to be an early one because I was so dead tired from the night before.
Monday I got woken up early again 730 to go for a McDonald's breakfast run. Everyone else had been up since 630.. if not earlier. So Paul and I made the drive to McD's and then we get back and eat. Blake's mom was the only one not happy with her breakfast. It turns out her hash browns weren't cooked and they gave us the wrong meal for her. I think everyone elses was okay though. Mine was delicious. :D
Abby gets to play outside a lot while we are in Edmonton so of course she got to again this weekend. She even played with Sticks nicely this time. Well... nicely for her. Haha. Because he was on the other side of the fence. I took pictures of them playing plus pictures of Sticks feets. So cute. They seriously look like hands. Haha.






Blake checked out his favorite store in WEM but came back disappointed because it's getting too 80's for him in there. But they were playing the new Datarock album so he ended up getting that. It wasn't a fun trip for him. He felt like he came back empty handed. :P
Then we took off home for Calgary. Yay!
We get home and I tried calling my mom because it is her birthday but she was out at a movie with my sister (Time Travellers Wife) bet it was awesome. Anyways HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I love you!
So we drop off our stuff and we went grocery shopping. We got steak and corn (yes, Blake is clearly obsessed with it.) and potato salad. I wish we had a BBQ though. I love the BBQ taste with steak. Oh well. Then I cleaned up the house and did some laundry because after the weekend it needed a good cleaning. I haven't gotten around to actually cleaning the place, so it finally got a good one last night. Then we watched tv and Blake cleaned up our computers... I guess we are suppose to do regular scans.. haha. I hadn't since ... well we got my laptop back from Best Buy months ago. Then we called it a night around 930.
Tuesday. It was a normal day at work. Tomorrow will be better because I'll have all my sales guys in. It's hard when there is only 1. :P The phone just rings all the time! Haha
Now I'm at home and I've got some excellent tv to watch tonight such as... Big Brother (eviction tonight!!!), SYTYCD Canada, 90210 and Melrose Place. I'm just checking out the pilot and then I'll make my decision as to whether or not I end up watching the season. I do already have a lot to watch as you can clearly see! Haha
I have to add my pictures to this post and then you are all up to date! Whoa long update! :P
So later days!
what kind of bicycle does your brother ride
ReplyDeleteBocce is the spelling haha. And HOW did you not know you Lochlyn Munro is?! I love that guy. Especially as a crazy ass in Dead Man on Campus (one of my favourite movies).
ReplyDeleteAhaha, my word verification is "beeplas". I kind of love it.
Wayne->Graham rides a Kona Shreder? Whatever that means...
ReplyDeleteAmanda->Haha Blake told me the correct spelling and now I don't care to fix it. It looks better that way. Hah. I couldn't remember what movie or where I knew him from. I just knew it would have been stupid of me to not get a picture with him. I also love doing the word verification because they have pretty wicked words to spell. :D They always make me smile.
If you look at my flickr photos as well.. I uploaded a picture of my Alexisonfire autographs.
BEEPLAS!
ReplyDeleteNew favourite word.
salute to the kona. broken wrists are fun. i was lucky a couple years ago when i fell off my bike and only broke my hand.
ReplyDeleteI want a new favorite word. :(
ReplyDeleteI doubt broken wrist are fun. But sure...
I think I remember you telling me about your broken hand. That sucks. Maybe you should drink more milk too.
