Weekend Recap

I'm procrastinating on studying for a midterm that I have tomorrow, so I thought I would give my weekend recap on time this week.

Friday we went to D&C's wedding. This was the final wedding of the wedding season for C and I, and as far as I know we don't have another one to attend until our own in 2012 (unless one of my friends decides to up and randomly get married one day.....??)

The wedding was beautiful and we had a fantastic time. I love getting dressed up and going out for a night of dancing with C. It's not something we get a chance to do very often, so when we do I always enjoy it.

C and I. I wore the same dress that I wore to SM's wedding, because after trying on 3 dresses and letting my mom and C vote, this one won unanimously. I think C may have been a little biased because he bought a new purple shirt specifically to match me in this dress.

The lovely couple, happily married.

Cake

Centerpieces.

It was a great way to conclude our 2010 wedding season. Big congrats to D&C!

Saturday was a day to recover. C made me the ribs and roasted garlic potatoes for dinner (sooo good!). I honestly don't know what I will do with myself if this boy ever stops cooking for me. I would probably starve do to my total lack of kitchen abilities. Anyways, I meant to take a picture of this fantastic meal so that I could show you all.....but I was hungry....and realized that I forgot to do so, about halfway through eating it. So no pictures, you will just have to trust me that it was one of the best meals I have ever had.

After dinner we went out to rent Night of the Demons, How to Train your Dragon, and 30 Days of Night part 2. We only managed to make it through Night of the Demons, which was really dumb. Not a great storyline, bad acting and way to much gore. I'm not a fan of scary movies, and I'm pretty much a huge wimp while watching them (seriously, C put on about 5 minutes of Friday the 13th part 4, and it gave me nightmares) so if your horror film doesn't scare me then you can pretty much assume you didn't do it right. Night of the Demons didn't scare me at all, more just used the gore factor for shock value, something I'm also not a fan of. I'll keep you posted on my thoughts of the other two as we watch them.

Yesterday was my mommy's birthday. So we had the family over for Chinese food, cake and presents. I was busy eating, and helping my sister (with the broken wrist) serve and clean so there are no pictures.

So that was our very busy weekend. I feel like it flew by, and after looking at my calendar, I realized that all of our weekends from now until Christmas are pretty much exactly like this one. Is it possible to take a vacation from life?

Weekend Updates and Injuries

What a weekend.....

Friday my sister, brother in law and I took these two monsters to wonderland for the day

The day was beautiful, and SO hot. We spend the day riding the rides


Playing the games, and winning toys




And painting faces


At 5:00, my mom picked up two very tired little girls, and C met us for some adult amusement park fun.


I used to live at Wonderland but I must admit it has been a long time since I have gone there and spent the whole day walking the park. Needless to say when I got home Friday night, I took a long hot bath, got a heating pad for my back, fell into bed feeling like death and repeating to myself over and over again that I am WAY too old for this crap.

Saturday was C's grandfather's memorial, so my alarm went off at about 6:40am (not a nice time on Saturday). So I drag myself out of bed, stand up......and almost fall flat on my face. Apparently while dragging myself around Wonderland the day before I managed to pull a muscle right behind my right knee, and I cannot put any weight on it....awesome. I managed to make it through the service (in heels) but I was finding that the pain was getting progressively worse as the day went on. We were supposed to attend a birthday party Saturday night, but the birthday girl decided to cancel. This was alright with me because not only was I exhausted, I also couldn't walk. So C and I grabbed dinner, went to his place to eat and took a four hour nap. We then woke up and watched The Perfect Storm (awesome movie) and he rubbed my leg, helping to work out a huge knot. I can know walk, with minimal pain, so whatever he did, it worked.

Yesterday we had a crazy day weather wise. It was hot and humid, and cloudy then sunny, very confusing. I have always suffered from headaches. Typically they are fine, and I can live with them without medication. Occasionally I will need to lie down for an hour, close my eyes and wait for them to go away. I woke up yesterday with a slight headache, but nothing to be concerned about. I spent most of the morning in bed, recovering from the past 2 days, and finally decided to move at about 4 to get ready to go to a pick up soccer game that was planned that evening. I still had the headache, but it wasn't nearly as bad as any headache I'd had before so I decided I was fine to go. About halfway through the game I was finding that that pain was getting worse and worse, and decided that I probably needed to eat something. At this point there was thunder and lightening, so we collected the boys from the field and headed to McDonald's. I got my food, and it seemed to help for maybe 10 minutes. Then I got the worst headache I have ever had in my life. I don't like using the word migraine, but I honestly think that what I was dealing with is what people who suffer from migraine's deal with. Every time I moved my head I had a wave of nausea, I thought I was going to pass out, and the slightest sound made pain shoot through my entire head. Not fun.

So all in all my weekend was fun, but painful. Hopefully next weekend goes better.

Day 7: A Photo That Makes you Happy:

This one was hard. I love all of my photos.

I thought about using one of the girls, but it was impossible to narrow it down to one. Same with photo's of C and I. Or my family or friends. Then I thought of this one.....

This is probably the stupidest photo ever, but every time I see it, it makes me laugh.

The photo is of my brother, C and a good friend at the cottage last year. I will admit, the boys in this photo are slightly intoxicated, and for some reason found something (I can't remember what) so funny that they literally could not stop laughing. This scene probably went on for a good 15 minutes, and is probably my favourite cottage '09 memory. Pictures like this make me happy because they not only make me laugh every single time I come across it, but it also reminds me of the good, random times that I have with my friends whenever we get together.

C is downstairs on the phone fighting with the cell phone company, so I can take this time to do a weekend update.

Saturday we went to the drive in with some friends, because they were doing a long weekend special and showing three movies. We saw Grown ups, Salt and Karate Kid. Grown Ups was hilarious. Everyone should go and see this movie. It was not only funny (I mean it had Kevin James AND Adam Sandler...can't go wrong) it also had a really cute girly message to it about relationships and life in general. I found that it was funny but it also made you think.

We all already know my opinion about Salt, so I won't go there again.

We only ended up seeing half of Karate Kid, because C's battery decided to die after the second movie, causing us to call CAA to ger a boost, and making me terrified of turning the car off again, having it die....again...an being stranded at the drive in at 3am. From what I saw it was good, but no different from any other Karate Kid movie ever made. In my opinion it's a rental.

Sunday was spend recovering (I'm not a 3am kind of girl) and not doing much. Those are my favourite kinds of days. The most exciting part of Sunday was that Shark week started! I LOVE shark week. I watch it religiously, making sure I'm home by 8 so I don't miss a thing. Funny thing about this is that I am actually terrified of Sharks, so much so that I refuse to swim in any ocean. So I'm really just scaring myself, but whatever.

Today is technically a holiday in Canada. For those people who work regular 9-5 jobs, like C. For people like me on the other hand, who work a crappy retail job, we are open and expected to work. So I had to drag my butt to work at 8am this morning. But I'm home now, and planning an exciting evening filled with sharks, finishing my book, and fighting with cell phone companies.

Until next time!
