This weekend was really fun!
Friday night after work I went home with a co-worker of mine, Andrew to hang out with his sister, a friend and his family.. Andrew takes the go-train home which is a two story train that is 6 dollars both ways, but someone got hit on the tracks so we had to take the subway to the very last station (North) and his father picked us up.
Andrew is from a really small town, kind of reminds me of Pfafftown! As soon as we got there Andrew's dad took me downstairs to pick out my beverage of choice for dinner - I didn't know what I wanted (and didn't want to ask for anything) so the whole family drank mimosas for dinner! It so was nice to have a home cooked meal! Andrew and his sisters friend, Lisa just got the new Ford Explorer so rode in it after dinner to get an ice cream cake (in 20 degree weather?). The cake was prettty darnn good though! After dinner Andrew's dad took us all downstairs to show me his alcohol collection. I sampled 400 dollar tequilla, which by the way, stilll sucks and lots of other liquors, including some all the way from spain. He also made us his famous drink called a "broken down golf cart" he says he makes it different everytime, but I enjoyed it!
Saturday morning we headed back to Toronto and went to the Saint Katherine's market - which is like a huge farmers market - I got some home made beef jerky and a Canadian Bacon sandwich! All homemade!Saturday day was spent exploring Toronto! Lou, Brett, Andrew and I walked around Queen Street all day and looked at the cool shops. Brett bought a $60 Packers hat.. and then they lost the next day.. so we all made fun of him for that. Lou tried on a RIDICULOUS Hat too - which I had to snap a photo of..
Saturday night I met up with my grandparents friends grandchildren.. yep, another blind-friends date! One of them plays professional hockey so it was cool to learn a little about the sport. The place we went to was NUTS!! It's called Real Sports and it has over 120 TVs.. The picture hardly does it justice… but the NFL games were going on - and the place was going crazy every time someone scored. It's definitely a cool place for someone who enjoys sports to go.
Sunday morning I went to lunch with my Grandparents friends. It was kind of cool because it was like going with my Grandparents. I learned they call PopPop brown - Stan the Man! and heard some cool stories about their time spent in Florida- made me miss home.
Sunday afternoon was spent cleaning and being as lazy as possible. Lou and I made "family dinner" of gnocchi and salad, and I went to bed approximately 9:30pm :)
Tonight Lou and I went to dinner with our realtor. She wanted to take us to a "welcome to Toronto" dinner.. and guess who was next to us at the table? Drake! exciting but he was a total A-Hole.. when I asked him to take a picture he said "not now, I'm eating".. Needless to say, he was not being very nice. No one else in the restaurant attempted to talk to him the whole night.. and there was only one other table in there at the time.. he coulda taken a 2 second photo- or at least could have been nicer.
ANYHOOO - not a big fan of Drake. the place we ate though - PHENOMENAL!!
I went to the gym after work and now I'm ready for bed in my onesie.
Onesie out!!
