i could sleep for another 24 hours!

boy, when geoff and sunny come home for a weekend, there's a non-stop flurry of activities w/them :-) here's the rundown....see if you can keep up!

thursday night
  • facials @ skoah - i used up 2 of my 3 gift cards from x-mas/birthday 2006.
  • canucks vs. colorado - too bad the 'nux lost
  • late-night all-you-can-eat-sushi
  • riverrock - we all made $$!! after almost losing $220, i got lucky at the fortune pai gow table, and made $250 on a straight flush. phew! the poker table wasn't very kind to me....i didn't make any money there.
friday
  • chris and i were very productive....we went to home depot and we finally bought shelving units for our storage locker. now things are much more organized in there. we also want to buy a bbq, but we're going to think about it a bit more before we make our purchase. once we have the bbq, then i'm going to put chairs out on our balcony :-) just in time for the summer! we also cleaned out our dryer duct, so it's working a lot more efficiently now.
  • after many months of being delayed, my parents finally took us out to celebrate my belated birthday at saltlik. we shared the calamari, mixed olives and dry ribs to start. then we all had steaks, and my mom had the rack of lamb. the meal was delish!
  • mah jong w/the boyz.
saturday
  • skiing at whistler - blimey, it was hot! my calves are still hurting....it's probably a sign that i need to exercise a lot more :P
  • birthday celebration for cherie & ryan
sunday
  • hotpot at stan's house. he must've thought he was feeding an army, there was so much food! lamb, chicken, beef, fatty beef, beef balls, cuttlefish, squid, scallops, shrimp, lettuce, sui choy, fish balls, tofu puffs, enoki mushrooms, asparagus, pork liver, etc. etc. i think they're still trying to finish off the "leftovers" :-) now i want to buy my own hotpot set.
monday
  • lunch at saltlik - mmmm, burger!
  • shopping d/t - i finally have a spring/summer jacket. i bought it at club monaco....my first white jacket; i'm very pleased w/it!
  • and of course, monday wouldn't be complete until i saw my puppies! tonight i played w/nugget and coal - they're so cute! frankie and magic were whisked away to puppyclass.
and now i think i need a well-deserved sleep. we've had many late nights out, and i just need to crash. also, after our day at whistler, my body is still trying to recover. i don't remember being in this much pain after the big white ski trip. i just don't understand :(

after this busy weekend, it's almost a relief to be going to work tomorrow. and now, only 5 weeks until our vacation!
