a great escape weekend

I have three hours to waste until my next class, so I thought this was the opportune moment to recap about my relaxing and 'great escape' weekend. I finally got those moments to breathe, drink a little, eat a lot, and have fun with people I love. Definitely one of those weekends I'd love to relive again.

Friday night was spent BBQ-ing it up in 13 degrees Celsius weather (i.e, VERY COLD). We first stopped off at the LCBO to get some drinkies for the night, which meant me getting carded ("Oh, I thought you were younger," said the cashier). Wrapped up in blankets and jackets, with some Dr. McGillycuddy's to keep us warm, we grilled up some burgers and had some yummy times with a bunch of schoolpals. Of course, when you get a bunch of schoolmates together you're bound to talk about school (hate how that happens) but we distracted ourselves with some Foosball tournmanents at the Caribbean place next door. Then, we headed off to a place with $1 pool and found that it was karaoke night -- which meant 50-year olds singing country songs and lyrics about Bismarck. It was such a random and spontaneous night.

The Boy said he couldn't see the pool balls on the other end of the table, confirming my thought that he was drunk ... and which meant that we lost, since he didn't get anything in haha. And to top it off, instead of putting on his own sweater at the end of the night, he put on my cardigan wrap. He looked pretty spiffy, I gotta say!

After we fell asleep at 2:30am, we got woken up by The Boy's dad tapping on the window at 8am. Ahh, tiredness. Fortunately, they let me get some coffee (yay!) before we road tripped it to Toronto. We chilled, got pizza, and waited for my sister to arrive so we could have some fun exploring/bonding times together.

Y'see, my sister's off to the other side of the country in less than two days. I'm so psyched for her, but Vancouver's a long ways' away from me. So we've tried to get together as much as she can given how busy she is. So Saturday was spent trekking it around the great capital of Ontario, shooting some 'artsy' photos in the subway and she took me to this delicious pub called the Yellow Griffin, which specializes in 35 different kinds of burgers (I got the Cubana Libre, which has beef, ham, swiss cheese, pickles, mustard and was YUMMY). I had two burgers in two days -- healthy(?). And I got carded again when I orded a sex on the beach. Probably due to the lack of eyeliner.




I'm definitely gonna miss her. Though she's four years older which meant we were rarely in the same place/school/etc, she's always been someone I can talk to ... now I'm gonna have to rely on Skype! And I'm really hoping to visit during my 'spring break' (which is in February, so not much spring there).

Then Sunday was spent studying and playing The Sims 2, which I think is a fine way to end off the weekend! Though school's going to take over yet again this week, looking back on this weekend makes me happy. And hungry. So there's my simple smile of the week!

What did YOU do this weekend?
Hope it was great & I hope your Monday's been good!
