Wow, that sounds like you both had an awesome weekend!
Bexxc - that dinner sounds amaaaazing! Carrot cake is one of my ABSOLUTE favourite desserts. I'm allergic to walnuts so we usually have to make it at home in order to enjoy it. Glad to hear you had a good time, and I hope you have a good celebration with the rest of the fam!
Annie - that is amazing about the houseboat! That sounds incredible. I'm so jealous. Being from Vancouver I am used to being near to the ocean or lots of lakes, but now that I'm inland I'm soooo far from the sea and there aren't too many lakes nearby. I hope you enjoy it...great purchase since we're coming into the summer months.
WELL, we had an *eventful* weekend. I finished reading The Hunger Games on Friday, and begged OH to take me to the nearest city to see it (it stopped playing in our town a few weeks ago and I missed it) on Saturday. So we drove out - 2 1/2 hours. Got there and realized that there's a time change, and almost missed the movie. Saw the movie, got back in the car and discovered that the car's brakes stopped working
Had to leave the car in a Boston Pizza parking lot, and managed to find a hotel that accepts pets (since we had our dog with us). We had no change of clothes, toothbrushes, or anything. Our cellphones were also dead since we hadn't brought chargers. Ugh! At least we could shower... Next day, we called around and found out there was only ONE mechanic in town working on a Sunday. So we had the car towed there, and waited around all day to find out what happened. By around 3pm they still hadn't looked at it, so we decided to rent a car and drive home so that we could work today. We have to leave as soon as OH gets off work to bring the rental back and pick up our car from the city (again, 2 1/2 hours away). *groan* They called us this morning and the repairs are going to cost $540 on top of the $150 we are paying for the rental car, plus the cost of gas for an extra 400 KM trip there and back! Aghh! Turns out it was a weekend of disaster. All for The Hunger Games. LOL.
But.... it was totally worth it
(although the book was better...) We would have had to have the car repaired at one point or another anyway.
my actual birthday is on monday. we're just celebrating tonight.
i'll celebrate with the rest of my family next weekend. my dad's birthday is a week later than mine and we always celebrate together.
