a weekend of lurve...and free drinks.

What do you end up doing when you have a day off, or say, a few days off? Apparently for me, it's sleep in and play Sims 2 for half the time, while playing Bejeweled Blitz the other half of the day. I've been a little unproductive school-wise, but with a week off, I just want to cool my engines and relax. And a weekend with friends and The Boy certainly helped me to do just that.

On Friday night was one of my closest friend's birthday celebration. Since high school there's been a group of six of us that have hung on and been there for each other for so many years. This year was a little different, since one of the girls kind of drifted away, but we still managed to have fun. We were supposed to go to this new bowling alley that's been renovated to a fancy restaurant/bar/bowling place, but ... I kind of screwed up the reservations (classic me, right there). So instead, we went spontaneous :)

First, we watched the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics (well as much as we could before we left). There's something about having it on your own soil that makes you more patriotic in a sense. Although I heard that Wayne Gretzky had some technical difficulties lighting the torch or something? Ahh wells, Canada has its first gold medal, whoop! 

But yes, after that we headed to a restaurant near my Uni. That picture up there is one of my closest friends (not the birthday girl though) and her amazing new camera that I want to swipe away from her (accidentally of course, hehe).

After that, one of the gals had to leave since she had work early the next day, so we settled on a random bar that we've never been to. There was a live band that did covers, anywhere from Katy Perry to Beyonce to The Police, and everyone's voices were amazing. 

But before we went in there, me and one of my friends just walked in without the other two just to check out the place and make sure it was alright. As we walked by the main windows, this random creeper knocks on the window from the inside and smiles. 

Once we all headed inside, me and that same girl headed to the bar to get drinks (three beers, and a rum and coke for me). As my friend ordered the beers, the bartender says, "By the way, these are covered. I can't tell you who, but you don't have to pay for these." Me and my friend were like, "WTF mate?" We suspected it was that same creeper, but no one came up to us and acknowledged the drinks during the night so ... we got a couple of free drinks. Success!

At the bar, before busting out our crazy dance moves :)

And as I mentioned yesterday, my weekend was full of long overdue cuddling with The Boy. We spent Saturday munching on lots of calories at Burger King (so yummy, though~) and then catching up on Jersey Shore (yes, we love it for its pointless entertainment). 

Then Sunday, I headed over with some dinner in tupperware for a low-key Valentine's Day dinner (chicken and rice with veggies). As soon as I walked into his place, I was greeted by a big hug. Then he swerved around, went into a room and came back with an adorable bouquet of Gerbara daisies. The day before, I had told him my favourite flowers were Tiger Lilies, and to see bright orange daisies ... well it meant a lot :) I'll admit, I'm a sucker for flowers.

But that wasn't all ... I headed into his bedroom and there was a bouncy helium balloon. So much for low-key, huh? But I really appreciated it ... the rest of the night was low-key as we ate dinner and watched a movie (Avatar, which I may or may not have obtained a little illegally on DVD so it wasn't in 3D but it was still really good and Pocahontas-like), but I felt loved ... and do everyday. And I hope you do, too.

This weekend (plus this week off) is definitely my simple smile of the week :)

I really hope you all had an amazing weekend, no matter who you spent it with or what you did!

Annnd: I have a favour to ask!

Well, two actually. First, if you haven't already, wish a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the amazing Mayra at Life is Bananas! :) Hope you've had an amazing day!

Annnd second, if you have any advice questions you want to ask (about relationships, jobs, anything of the like) or you just want to know something about me: ask away!

I'll be doing the second Ask Nikolett either this Thursday or next Thursday, just depending on the replies :) I know a few of you asked questions from before, I have those ready, not to worry!

So yes, ask away and then have a beautiful day and sweet dreams :)
