I wore shorts, a tank top and a vest out Friday night. First - I hadly ever wear shorts, and secondly - it was so nice when we left the house, that I didn't grab a jacket, and after the bar, when we were outside at about 12:30pm, it wasn't cold enough to need one! The dueling piano's checked off May's task of doing something new; and the only reason we actually ended up there was because Brittany wanted to meet up with Lindsey and Erick, friends that she met while her and Sheldon where in Mexico recently. It was a really fun night! And Justin reminded me the next day, that it was at this bar that we met (when it was Spin) - made me smile that he remembered that!
Brittany and I somehow managed to be have to go pee at the same time. When we first walked into the bathrooms, I was not expecting them to have big doors like they did, and have real walls between them. This is a classy joint! And I had to take a photo of them, Brittany did her best Sheldon impersonation - which caused us to do our first photo session.
Then the photo taking spilled out of the bathroom and continued on our walk back to our table, down the hallway.
The guys had a good time. Justin made me giggle a couple times that night: he'd ask me "remember that song," or "what's that commercial I like." And I would be left thinking of the answer until I had the problem solved. Made me feel really connected with him!
Could Kas and Evan be any cuter? Brittany and I were both taking photos of them at the same time. Each of them looking at a different camera!
I requested "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard as soon as we got there. Then later in the night, I saw this lovely wall display. Then I'd randomly scream out "Def Leppard" whenever they seemed to not know what to play. That's why my voice was raspy the next morning, and my throut was sore on Sunday.
Us girls.
This was returning from Britt's and my second bathroom break, that we let Kas join us on!
I have absolutely no idea what song was playing, but Britt and I decided to get our dance on. With lots of finger pointing (I really don't think I dance like that - then I see the photographic proof)!
Friday night we stayed up until 4:30am. There was some popcorn making and talking about randomness. When I finally laid down in bed, I noticed the sun was starting to make it's apperance. Saturday we had lunch of soup and sandwiches. Britt, Kas, Evan and I walked to the liquor and grocery stores. Part of the way, there was a group of young teenagers. We wondered if they were some of the zombies that were said to start taking over when the world came to an end. Kas almost left her cardigan on the sidewalk until I reminded her about it, which made her laugh hystarically - I love this laugh of hers. Supper was full of good drinks and great company. And the weather was nice enough for us to have our first patio party of the year (meeting another of my yearly goals - check 1/5).
When we were all stuffed full that we couldn't think of eating anymore - we decided (okay I begged some people), to play Twister. This is the game that Brittany gave me at my bridal shower, this is one of the best presents that I have ever gotten (it made me cry when I unwrapped this gift), this is the first time that I have played Twister and the first time I've opened the box (I had to take off the plastic). At first we all started off a little shy. And a lot sore (somehow I hurt my knee at work on Friday, this made my whole leg hurt at various parts of the weekend, mostly at my joints).
Give Lincoln the camera - and he turns into me. He took so many photos, then turned the camera on the spectators - him and Justin. (Personally, I think he just wanted to make an apperance on the blog, and have some pictures of himself to give me the gears on about making a scrapbook page for him; I know he's going to say that I have no excuse now that I have such lovely photos to work with!)
Then we started getting a bit crazier at the game. There was some compitition going on and game faces made their appearances.
More scrapbook worthy photos.
Then you can start to see the drunk faces. Some of the photos are a little X-rated, so I had to use only select ones (you are welcome to some people with blonde hair, glasses and who wore shorts) - apparently the boys thought it would be funny to put you and Evan into some scandalous positions! Basically, I was the biggest loser (I blame it on lack of Twister experience and a hurting leg unable to support my body weight), and Evan won!
When we got tired of Twister (or maybe we were all too sore?), we played a round of Things In A Box, and a flip through a Have You Ever drinking card game that Justin got in his Christmas stocking last year. This is when the hardcore laughter started. We were all just laughing at each other, shocked at some of the things that each of us had done - or at least admitted to. This is something I will never forget. Brittany was being the funniest that she has ever been. Then I think she got a little bit embarrassed and a bit of crying occured. Lowie came strutting out of Brittany's room late into the night, and I knew that he had just peed on the bed. I quickly washed Britt's blanket, and we were good to go again. Saturday we stayed up until 6am. There was a lot of light streaming through the bedroom window this time.Sunday we had leftovers (more soup and sandwiches and a bit of left overs from our BBQ). We watched the Vancouver Canucks vs. San Jose Sharks west coast comference game five hockey game, and our house guests headed back home to Calgary.
Later into the evening Justin and I rented five movies (Stone, The Social Network, The Resident, Country Strong and Life As We Know It) and watched them all between Sunday night and Monday. (Life As We Know It ended up to be both of our favorites - and I think I have Justin convinced that "chick flicks" might not be that bad of movies after all.) Monday we went out to by a weed trimmer at Sears with a gift certificate from the wedding. I had a couple thoughts of "Chinese food," and when I mentioned that to Justin he admitted that he had had a thought of that too. We drove all around town trying to find a Chinese restaraunt that was opened - none of them opened up for a couple hours at four though. We decided to just keep on our mission and head home, picking up a bag of cat food at Walmart on our way. Well, they didn't have the right sized bag of Whiskas Meaty Selections. So off we headed to Sobey's. I think at this point the lack of sleep started catching up with us, both of us were a bit snipping with each other. As we walked into Sobey's Justin suggested nachos. That made us both happy, and we gathered up the ingredients to purchase. We both laughed when we got to the pet food ailse and they didn't have the right sized Wiskas bag either. So we settled for a new diet of Indoor Cat formula food. We headed home and enjoyed our home made nachos, salsa and gaucamole, and watched the last of the movies we rented. A perfect relaxing ending to a crazy weekend!
