Odds and Ends

- Discovered (via Chantal) that a fellow classmate/former drama major I went to high school with is also a gay gal. YES! I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE! 

- Friday Night: Watched my brother's band, Alright Alright, headline at another GTA bar. Night ended with six cops and a tactical force showing up....? You know you're in the suburbs when the cops have nothing better to do than show up at a bar due to a noise complaint....

- Played pool vs. my Dad -- Dad won the first round (I technically scratched after breaking... *Shakes head at self*), I won the second round. Absolutely love the fact that I always seem to be the only girl playing pool every time I visit a bar these days. Badass points? Perhaps...

- Got a wee bit tipsy while watching the band... realized I haven't attained that state for, oh.... possibly a year. What the heck. (And yes, I mean that as a statement.)

- Received a postcard from My Advocate -- She is in Rome and eating entirely too much gelato. Can't wait 'til she returns this Wednesday! :D

- Spent most of this afternoon prepping various items for the tea party tomorrow with my Cousin. Will have to provide a detailed menu either tomorrow evening or on Monday. As I told my family, "Oh yeah -- I'm pullin' out ALL THE STOPS."

- Been luxuriating in the gorgeous weather from the last number of days. What's this? Temperatures above 30C? Summer has arrived, folks. Point me to the sunscreen.

- Hurt my knees at the gym. Yargh. Extra jogging = Ancient knees, it would appear. I've had to adjust accordingly and scale back my usual routine (and I've also had to go lighter on my daily walks/forego my gym jogging). I need new running shoes, no doubt. I believe mine are at least six years old. Yeah. That could be why I keep hurting the ol' knees....

- Back to exploring recipes and new treats. Giving scones a whirl -- I'm not a baker by any means and the dough I've slapped together looks.... rather incorrect. Will update after I attempt baking them tomorrow.

- Sleep deprived. Here's where I drop off the map, for tonight at least.
