September Long Weekend

Well my weekend was pretty relaxing!  I didnt do a whole lot, and it was really nice.  I got to sleep in and see Jamie and TOBY! :)

I went up to the city friday after school.  Saturday morning we went down to cordyn village for breakfast at Fresh Cafe and it was really good.  It is a very nice little area with a beautifil patio.  It is a young and artistic community.  So this place had a juice bar with all sorts of mixtures of drinks.  Also all the eggs are free run and the breakfast sausage is turkey or bison.  It was a neat little place.

Then we did some shopping around, we had some last minute stuff for school to pick up and did some shoe shopping and such.  Jamie got a hair cut in the mall.  Then we picked up some groceries and made supper.  We got our groceries at this Cramptons market which has all local produce and meats and cheese.  So we got local steaks and fresh lettuce, carrots, tomatoes potatos, green beans and corn.  That night we had bbq steak, salad, green beans and baby potatoes.  It was very good.

Sunday again we bummed around, Jamie finally hung up the curtains for the bedroom which have been sitting in our storage room for a year now haha.  We got sick of the Superstore lights shining in the window really quickly.  I did probably five loads of laundry--just my clothes!!  I had so much laundry!  We also had the tv and internet set up finally.  We watched a movie called Priest and it was based in the future about vampires and was not bad.  Then we had supper and watched some tv and went to bed.  It rained most of the weekend.  Monday it finally warmed up though.  So on monday i packed all my stuff (folded the huge pile of clothes i had washed) and loaded it up in the car.  We watched a movie, Love Actually, and I quite liked it!  It seemed to be pretty good.  Then Jamie convinced me to watch some discovery channel... and then we made supper and I took off back to Winkler and pretty much went to bed right when i got home.

Now today (Tuesday) has been a fairly slow day, we had a presentation in class today about the school's dental and medical insurance.  And then didnt do a whole lot else for the rest of the day.  So we got out of class a half hour early, which was nice because I think my brain is still in weekend mode.

Also today I realised that the trip to Guatamala would be leaving on June 24, and i would miss Rileys grad and possibly even my own Dental Grad.....So i guess i have a decision to make :(

Today at lunch i grabbed a few groceries, I am finding it hard to buy for one person because i cant buy certain things now because they come in too large of packs.. so i have to only pick one type of fruit or vegetable and such.  Which bugs me because i hate always eating the same thing, i like variety.  But if i buy blackberries and strawberries, they go bad before i can eat them all.  I dont like just eating broccoli and dip, i like to eat a variety of veggies and dip, so i have been buying a small tray of them so that i can have a variety.  Because i cant be buying a head of cauliflower, broccoli, a bag of carrots and snap peas and baby tomatoes all the time!  Especially since i am gone on the weekends usually, its going to be hard to buy produce so that it isnt sitting in my fridge wasting every weekend.

But I think i am going to head off to do some homework!  Then hopefully have some time left to watch tv or sleep!  haha

Talk to ya later!  Bye
