Friday was pretty chill...Sharl and I just hung out, went for a late night walk with Xhosa and came home with some pizza and watched Rocky for free on Rogers on Demand.
Saturday morning, Sharl and I took a little road trip to visit some family and then we came home and got ready for dinner plans. Sunday was Sharl's birthday but we celebrated on Saturday night instead. I made reservations for dinner with Sharl's brother for the best seafood restaurant in the city. We did it up LARGE and I had the best meal I can remember:
3 dozen oysters (raw on the half shell)
a bottle of champagne
a bottle of Pinot Grigio
Whole cracked lobster
Whole Dungeness crab
Bay of Fundy sea scallops
I closed my eyes while paying the bill at the end. The most I've ever spent on food before, but it was worth it! Only the best for my favourite birthday boy in the whole world.
Afterward we went to The Beaconsfield, and we drank even more there... tequila shots and gin and tonics and beers....and danced a little until I felt sooooo woozy i was about to pass out. Sharl and I dragged our sorry asses home LATE and I passed out in bed. We both felt pretty green in the morning and had to re-try waking up 3 times until it was 11am. (Neither of us really sleeps in past 9:30!)
Sunday was spent nursing our hangovers and drinking Gatorade. We were supposed to go grocery shopping but neither of us could fathom the idea and kept retreating to the couch everytime we got up to do something. We went to the park with Xhosa and just laid out on the grass in the sun until we finally felt normal again.
Then in the evening was my salsa competition! Was so much fun...Sharl came, Tristan and Jules, Charlizzle and Dan, Sarah, Sean, and other familiar friendly faces ...was the first time my non-salsa friends came out to see me dance! My partner and I were one of the 5 finalists chosen to compete in the next round in May, so that felt pretty good. We have a LOT of work to do before then, because the other competitors had some amazing choreography skills! I got home, and as soon as I took off my dance shoes, i felt beat and zzzzzzz'd the night away.
So yah... Today's Monday....it sucks to be at work. :(
But it's also my mom's birthday, so more eating will be on the agenda for tonight!
