Watch out for that Snowflake!!!
I just had the most amazing weekend.. and really nothing that spectacular happened. I got to spend the weekend at a hotel in downtown Toronto. Mostly for a meeting with a group of great people from across Canada. It wasn't that part of the weekend that made it fantastic, it was the interaction with old friends in my home setting that made it so special. We painted the town red!! Did all sorts of tourist things, which was cool for me because living in Toronto, you don't really go to the tourist traps very often. We went to Planet Hollywood, MickyFynns, out clubbing, Milestones (Had my very first Bellini, and fell in love!!), went to a martini bar and many other fun things including ending the weekend with breakfast at Eggstacy. It was so nice just to relax, not thing of the past 2 weeks.. and get away from the borough..
Walking downtown on friday night after Planet Hollywood, we were hit with a snowfall unlike anything I've seen in years. The snow that was falling was humongous, each flake at least a centimeter in diameter.. It made the city look so much more magical.. more so than usual. There's nothing better than walking down Front Street on a friday night, lights ablaze, people walking giddily down the streets.. its great!! Then on Saturday I got to take my friends from all over the country out to a club with a bunch of my Torontonian friends.. it was a great mix! It was nice to get away from my life here, but I was so happy when I walked into Lee's Palace and saw my roomie, and a bunch of my friends.. Everyone had a great time.. it made the horrible, hungover trip home today very worth it.. Now I'm not really tired, after having slept all day.. and I'm still procrastinating my homework. At least I feel ready to focus again, I love refresher weekends.. this was definitely one of them!
Well I can't wait until October when I get to go to one of these conferences again. Here's to great conversations, fun times and more fantastic memories to add into my big Toronto experience! As they say in the movies, happiness isn't happiness without a violin playing goat! Well, the goats were out in full force this weekend, and I can't wait to do it all over again.
