Adventures in Edmonton Week 2
Wow, so apparently it has been over 2 years since I last updated this thing. That is crazy. I blame Facebook!
But now that I live so far from most everyone I know I've decided I should start updating again.
Adventures in Edmonton Week 1 can be found on my Facebook in a note. From now on I'll try to update this thing every once in awhile when I have time!
So here goes...
Sunday (9): Cole and I went for brunch at the place up the street. There was a big line out the door, but we talked to some nice people behind us and it wasn't so bad. The food was awesome as per usual. I had crepes, mmmm... with blueberries and whipped cream! I swear if I had the money I would never cook and just eat there all the time! After breakfast Cole and I went and wandered Whyte Ave a bit and then we went to the Wee Book Inn. We both spent way too much money on used books. After about an hour in there my arms were full and I had to potty and I had a headache so I left Cole there and came home and played some Sims 3 (yay for Crystal!). The rest of the evening was rather dull as I had a massive headache.
The work Week: Not a lot to tell about the week. Just working mostly. Monday I had a killer headache all day and so was rather miserable. Cole and I started watching Dollhouse. We've seen the first 2 episodes so far. The first one was kinda meh, the second one was better. Hopefully it keeps getting better! We officially met our downstairs neighbours, they are moving in this weekend. Did a whole bunch of laundry. It's soooo nice not to have to do stupid coin laundry anymore!! I loves it!
Friday (14): My birthday, huzzah!! Got a present in the mail from Crystal and she knows me way too well, so it's awesome of course! Went to work and that kinda sucked. Hate working my birthday, but i would have just been sitting home lonely if I had taken it off. One of the IT guys got me a cake though, so that was awesome and made the afternoon much better. Strawberry Shortcake sugar high, wooohoooo!
After work Sherry and her husband took me to the pet store and I got all the starter stuff for getting kitties. Got a litter box and food and all that fun stuff. Spent too much money, I think I'm going to have spoiled rotten kitties!
Came home and changed and headed out again. We took the bus to West Edmonton Mall. It's a really long bus ride, but at least it's only one bus. We met up with Paula and tried to go to the Old Spaghetti Factory but they said it'd be like 45 min for a table so we said no way. Tried Mr. Mikes and it was 30 min, so no. Tried a pub and it was seat yourself, but there were no seats. Finally found a table in a place called Sherlock Holmes Pub. I had bangers and mash and it was actually pretty good. At least this city seems to be good at food! After dinner we went to see GI Joe. The theatre was insane busy! and It was like 9:30. Didn't end up being able to use my gift certs because there was like a 20 min line. Movies here are expensive compaired to Victoria! Then couldn't get a drink or anything because again disgusting lines. There were like no seats left so Paula had to go sit by herself poor girl, and we had to sit in the front row on the side. My neck hurts now from trying to see all of the screen at once. But it's okay because it was pretty good! Chris Ecelstein makes a pretty darn good bad guy! It wasn't even all super pro american, I was quite suprized!
Then we took the super long bus home and now I should go to bed.
We have an appointment to go look at some kittens tomorrow afternoon. I'm excited!
Okay, must sleep.
