thanksgiving weekend

On Friday we rented Bread and Tulips.
On Saturday I got my hair cut, we went to Sam James for coffee, and then went to Robarts library. In the afternoon I did the laundry. That evening we went out for dinner, and then to the Cumberland to watch the Road. It was bleak. I don't think that I would recommend it. Afterwards we stopped in at a birthday party, which was a strange thing to do after watching such a movie.
On Sunday we went to Holy Oak. In the afternoon Leah went to church early for practice, and I walked there a little later.

weekend

On Friday night we went over to Calla's house to baby-sit her. By baby-sit what I mean is that she slept the entire time and we hung out.

On Saturday, we rented a car to go to a party in Oakville. Since we had the car for the day, we went to St Jacob's market, and then to the grocery store.

The party was hosted by a child-hood friend of Leah's. There were roughly two shifts - the parents who had to split early to go and relieve baby-sitters, and the kids who showed up late. We stayed for a bit of both shifts before returning back to Toronto.

On Sunday morning I took the car back. Afterwards we had a church meeting, and then went to church in the evening.

Friday night we went to Justin's Karaoke Extravaganza birthday party. On the way there we went to Baskin Robbins. The karaoke place above Clintons is gross, and it felt a little bit like Bill Murray should be there.

On Saturday I went to Saving Gigi for a coffee in the morning. I stopped by Long and Mcquade on the way home, which is always a bit of a zoo on the weekend. At home, I varnished the front door, and then did the laundry. That evening, we went to D&J's for a feast dinner. We also watched Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

On Sunday I finished the rest of the door, and put it all back together. It only took me about 6 months! We also ended up going to the Santa Claus parade, which was weird. Robby & Tirza were at church, back from their 2+ months of travel adventures. We went to an oddly sketchy pub afterwards with them, the Royals, and the McGhees. It was great to see them.

weekend

On Friday night we went to the Drake. Josh Lyon is in a band called the Gertrudes, and they were in town to play some music. Also, Lake of Stew opened for them, and were crazy and fun.

On Saturday, I finished stripping and sanding the front door. All that is left now is to seal it, and it is looking pretty good. We also went to look at a potential apartment, although it is available for December, which is too soon for us.

On Sunday, we went to Sam James Coffee Shop. After church we stopped by D&J's place to check out their chameleon's new giant cage. We also enjoyed delicious apple crisp.

weekend

On Friday we invited people over to carve pumpkins. Not many people actually brought pumpkins. The best part was that Calla Joy came to visit.

On Saturday Leah and I went on a crazed shopping spree. By this I mean that we went to the Bay (we are getting old) and bought me a winter coat. It is heavy, and stuffed with feathers from various birds. We also bought some work boots, which was more annoying, since I don't want work boots but need them for work.

That night I spent too little time updating dad's website. I think I find web design frustrating because I only ever do it on lunch breaks and in twenty minute spurts... I never do a good real job. Also, I sat outside waiting for trick-or-treaters, but none came. Actually, according to the upstairs neighbours, ONE eventually came, after we had given up and gone inside. Now we have to eat 150 chocolate bars.

On Sunday I went to help Brad paint his new apartment. Leah went to Mado's birthday party. She is one.

After church we went to Sorauren Park and looked at thousands of carved pumpkins with the Woods.
