Wonderful Weekends
In some ways I'm a very lucky girl and the industry I work in allows me some special fun. I get to enjoy some time off on Canadian holidays and US holidays as well. This weekend was a real good one! On Friday it was Canada Day (celebration of Canada's B-day for all that may be wondering) and independence Day on Monday for the US. In recognition of these two holidays I got an extra long weekend. Yay for me!! To make it even more special (tee hee) DH went away with his buddies for another weekend of drishing (drinking and fishing) There is just something extra special about spending time with my girls!
To start off the weekend, I was lucky enough to win 4 passes from a local radio station (thanks CHFI 98.1) to the Canada Dry Festival of Fire, (fireworks competition held at Ontario Place) and DD's #2 and #3 and my good friend Colleen headed off to a rooftop party to enjoy the show. OMG it was so cold up there!!!! Being on the rooftop, next to Lake Ontario on July 1st should have been a much more pleasant experience! It would have been the best if I had thought to bring blankets and long underwear! The fireworks display was a presentation set to music of many famous Canadians in honour of Canada's 138th Birthday and it was absolutely breathtaking! I've seen some spectacular shows before but seeing something synchronized to well known and loved music is absolutely AMAZING!
On Saturday, I spent time in my favorite relaxing past time, yup you guessed it the Bingo Hall! I was lucky enough to break even and win enough to cover all three sessions I sat through! I really wish that it could have been more. I went with a budget for one Bingo and won enough to stay for a sencond, then same thing, enough for a third and at the third I won enough to give me some scratch for the Casino the next day.
On Sunday, I had plans to join a friend on a road trip to Casino Rama for a concert. When my friend called to ask me to join her, I agreed reluctantly because I had never heard of the artist. That's probably because the artist was really a songwriter. Actually a very talented songwriter! When she told me, Carole King..I thought African/American Motown singer....I could not have been further from wrong. 63 year old Blonde Hot Mama, with a whole bunch of talent. Night was truly enjoyable and the venue had the best acoustics I've ever heard for that size of location. Honestly we could hear this woman breathe! It was a great show.
Monday I lounged and got ready to return to work and frankly I need a holiday.
Today is Tuesday and all I wanna do is go back to my house and hide. I don't wanna talk to nobody and I certainly don't wanna work.
I think I'm in need of a pick me up and shake the shit outta me!
