I'm overdue.

Due to laziness, I haven't posted too much recently even though things have been going on. So, here it goes...

My oldest friend Trudi visited a couple of weeks ago, and I finally met her husband, Martin. I loved seeing them and wish we could hang out more, despite our dissimilar tastes in movies :wink:

The whole day we were able to spend together, Saturday, was spent mostly on Queen Street West. Brunch at Fressen, shopping for ribbon at Mokuba and paper at... where else? The Paper Place. We even caught a glimpse of Mr. Verg's Theatre of the Absurd at Trinity Belwoods Park.


The next day, sadly, Trudi and Martin had to catch a plane at stupid o'clock a.m. and I think they were probably home by the time I dragged my butt out of bed. Of course, I was dragging it to my first ever clothing swap! Those of you who are also my flickr friends are well aware of clothing swap scores, my favourite of which was a black shrug and a great little reversible bag. Another highlight of that day was bumping into Krissy and her hockey bag o'cast-offs as Claire and I approached swap headquarters.

Last weekend, the boy's sister and future brother-in-law had their Stag&Doe/Jack&Jill/Buck&Doe. There were games being played, whipped cream pies being thrown at the groom-to-be, and tunes being spun. Well, not "spun" exactly - the boy's iPod was hooked up to a bunch of equipment, which really cracked me up that such a tiny thing was hooked up to so many big things.

it's like "Where's Waldo?"

And this weekend is Victoria Day weekend, and we. have. no. plans. Well, no huge plans. I love it. Today, I got up to grocery shop then walked to Kensington Market, which took about 45 minutes. After walking for about 3 hours (and stopping for a sesame tempeh sandwich at Urban Herbivore) I stopped into a shop that sells locally-made crafted items. I hadn't planned on approaching the owner about selling jewellery, but there I found myself... babbling and sniffling from allergies. Feeling like such a dork afterwards, I came home and emailed the owner with photo samples to make up for by bad first impression. Keeping my fingers crossed!

My evening is all free and I plan on leisurely beading, knitting, lounging.... I can't wait to hurry up and start doing nothing.
