Almost another weekend!

Last weekend was a good one...I have three words that sum up the weekend: bottle service bad!! Good lord - old bosses have brough this usually reserved for Vegas tradition to Vancouver and I don't think it is a good idea. Three nights a year in Vegas I can do. Random Friday AND Saturday night...not so much. No table of people (no matter how large) should consume 3 bottles of Grey Goose. I am going to have to ask them to not be my friend anymore if this continues. Actually, I may have to ask everyone I know to not be my friends anymore after the past few months. Dale and I had this conversation last weekend:

me: what do you think normal people do on weekends?
Dale: ummm, probably go for nice dinners and maybe have one or two glasses of wine and then go home to bed. They probably get up and do the Grind in the morning and stuff.
me: Do you think they go bowling and to movies and stuff?
Dale: probably...maybe even art galleries or plays
me: hmmmm, no wonder I have decided to never be "normal"

Pretty sad that we don't actually know what to do if we aren't out and at three different bars every weekend night. I stayed home a few Saturdays ago and it was so very boring!!

Went over to Dark's last night for a delicious roast beef dinner prepared by Dale. We then perused every website available to find some good travel deals and it looks like we may have found a trip suitable for everyone at a lovely hotel called PairaAnuses. OK, it isn't really called that, but after a few bottles of wine that was the way funnier way to pronounce the hotel name. It looks like a go...so excited!!

This is my horoscope today:

Sagittarius: It's time to cut someone out of your life. It will be sad and painful, but they are doing you no good and you can't let them continue to hurt you..

Hmmmm....very interesting indeed. I wonder who that could possibly be??? Funny thing is the person I am thinking is the same sign as me...what are the chances that he is sitting at his desk totally thinking the exact same thing about me right now? Haha. We can discuss at dinner this evening! haha

In other rather less exciting news, it is my birthday next week. Ya, another year older! So, not looking forward to being in the mid part of my thirties - at least I can still say early thirties - I may even try to get away with very late twenties! Birthdays don't bother me much, so not too worried about it...yet! No one ever told me I would be the proud owner of wrinkles and zits though! Mark and Dale are throwing a bash at their house to commemorate me getting old. It should be fun, I am quite looking forward to it. Any excuse for a martini bar, I always say!

I did get asked out on a date this week and I think I am going to go. Considering all I know about this guy is what he does (not too overly thrilled with his occupation, but it is an honourable one at least) and that he used to play in the CFL and loves football, I don't know much, but he is cute and seems nice and at the very least I know I can kill a quick lunch with an hour of football talk, so it should be OK!

Working from home tomorrow to try and get my shit in order for 2008 - so very overwhelmed with planning right now. I actually almost cried at my desk yesterday. I didn't even know I was capable of those feelings. Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel (after 3 - 12 hour days this week).

I passed pretty much everyone I saw on my walk to work today. I even do that quicker than everyone else and with a sprained ankle!!! Go me!!
