That title is just for Cat and Ashleigh, who will immediately picture a large man exiting an elevator in an orange t-shirt with a giant bouquet of flowers and an odd expression.
You can, too.
This weekend was a fun one, with a Saturday trip to the U.S. for a tiny bit of shopping. I didn’t spend much at all — just some jeans and trouser shorts from an outlet — I was down to three pairs of functioning pants! — and cheapy, dangly earrings from Forever 21. I tell you — there’s something to be said for cheap and flashy, and not just for dating profiles!

(some of my summertime favourites…)
We had lunch at Pike Place Market (yes, we saw the fish-throwers, no, we didn’t go to the Starbucks “mothership”), we saw the sights, and got (my FAVOURITE) black tea-lemonades on the way home. More importantly, we laughed ourselves senseless the entire time at all the things Ashleigh said and all the things that Cat did and I… well, I’m pretty much ridiculous, so there you go.
What we learned:
-
You can’t trust border lineup predictions from ANY source, including the border itself. We were through in less than 45 minutes both ways, with much higher estimates.
I have a sign over my head that says, “TALK TO ME!”
Ash and Cat have no patience for Nordstrom Rack, or anywhere “disorganized”.
I have no patience for people who stop suddenly in the middle of walkways. I want to accidentally swing my purse at them. Accidentally.
I can walk into, and walk out of a Sephora without spending a DIME.
Ashleigh enjoys a quality sandwich on quality bread.
I am a sucker for kiosk pitchmen who have totally weird approaches, apparently… but not to the point of buying. (”NOOOOOOOO!)
It is GOOD to spend time with your friends.
Which is what I did on Sunday, too, with a nice brunch out and a drive along Marine in West Vancouver, which — if you’ve never been — is God’s preferred weekend jaunt. Lovely views, winding roads, and just enough sun-dazed pedestrians to make you feel like you’re part of a game of Frogger.
So, in the light of this awesomeness, a couple questions:
1. Do you prefer your weekends to be activity-filled, or relaxing?
2. Do you sleep in (if possible)?
3. Do you dress differently/groom differently on the weekends?
4. Do you eat differently on the weekends?
4. Tell me what your ideal weekend looks like…
