Hey you beauty cats.
Today the sky is filled with sunshine, and it is glorious.
I have been a bit knackered as of late, as for most of the week I have been staying up way past my bedtime and knocking about the place like a social butterfly with vertigo.
On Monday Mr. M and I kicked some serious general knowledge butt with our friend A’s pub quiz team (otherwise known as Taking Care of Quizness. And hey! Don’t hate. With a team jam packed full of physics PhD’s, literature masters, classics keeners, and poli-sci pros, our nerd quota was so high that Steve Urkel actually showed up and put in an application to join the group.)
We ended up winning the top prize (and fifty bucks!), much to the chagrin of the Philoso-rapters, and the Sandy Vaginas.
(What a name. Doesn’t really make you want to head to the beach anytime soon, does it?)
Also, I couldn’t help but wonder if every time the former team answered a question correctly they would look at each other and say, “Clever giiiiiiiirl.”
(Before, you know, ripping that person apart, and eating their dismembered corpse.)
Erm, just in case you don’t know what I’m talking about, please see exhibit A:
Onwards!
Today I had an amazing lunch – a calamari sub from the absolutely dee-lish travelling wagon of culinary delights know as “Slingers.” It’s a food truck that specializes in gourmet sandwiches, and this offering near but knocked my socks off.
If any of you folks are kicking about Vancity in the next little bit (Ms. Audrey I am looking at you my darling) do yourselves a favour and tickle those tastes buds of yours at this here joint.
I promise that you won’t regret it.
Speaking of which, I was skulking around the hallowed halls of H&M yesterday, trying on far too many sundresses for my own good, when I came across a little blue and white number, with a fitted bodice and a hem line that wasn’t completely scandalous.
I tried it on, but wasn’t feeling it one hundred percent, so I ended up leaving the store empty handed.
Well, I woke up this morning unable to get it out of my mind. So as I threw back the blankets and jumped out of bed I exclaimed (just like General MacArthur before me), “I SHALL RETURN!”
Okay. So that didn’t happen at all. (Wouldn’t that have scared the crap-ola out of poor, unassuming Mr. M.)
But I did return, and I did buy the dress.
I plan on wearing it all weekend long, paired with this fabulous grey cardigan I picked up at Zara earlier in the week.
It has elbow patches guys. ELBOW PATHCES!
Meep.
The only ever fly in the ointment about going away (for any length of time really) is that I always hate saying goodbye to our little gal.
This is how I found her this morning before heading out to work:
Good grief, she is so adorable, I actually sometimes feel as though I grow drunk on her cuteness.
It’s a liability man! She could rule the world if only she could 1.) speak and 2.) sleep less than fifteen hours a day.
Cor. What a life.
I gave her as many chin scratches and belly rubs as I possibly could, before my elaborate love-in made me late for the train.
There will be extra snuggles when we arrive home on Sunday night.
What are you fabulous folks up to for the weekend?
I wish you nothing but love and laughter, always.
