What a PERFECT weekend!

Friday night started off with nothing but a few good phone conversations (I'm getting better - I actually shock people by answering the phone now!) and tons of sleep. Then I woke up on Saturday morning and went over to Manon's to meet with an old friend from Winnipeg, Nat, who's was in the area for a mid-wifery conference - we've known each other since I was fourteen, and she's one of the handful of people where the dynamic just hasn't changed since. We caught up on news, ran fun errands together (which included a trip to a children's toy store and dress shopping at benetton and banana republic), then off to Chez Lucien to play dominos over a drink. Then the best was yet to come - we rented a car to surprise Nat, and we drove out to le Spa Nordik out in Chelsea, which is a scandanavian-style spa mostly outside in the cold... It was so amazing! To swim around in the fresh air while looking up at the stars and moon and trees... We were in seventh heaven and walked out three horus later, absolutely radiating! We capped the night off by convincing a Thai restaurant to keep its doors open long enough to feed us. Now how much better can your weekend be?

Oh wait, it can - add another day of sleeping in, and being picked up by mom in a few minutes to go and see my beautiful nephew and sisters and Nat.

I'll post photos soon... Ah, happiness is.
