too darn short

had a good weekend considering both t and i are sick and fighting a nasty cold that appears to have taken over most of calgary. friday night was spent reminiscing with my high school friends about well....high school. to my dismay t had a nice long look through old year books as i cringed in horror at old pictures of gap teeth, gawky legs and amazingly bad glasses. sigh...but i could not help but laugh...as i looked at every one of my old friends doing exactly the same thing. the years of 12 to 16 are not always nice but at least it was like that for most. and thank heavens we grow out of it well...mostly. i still feel like that awkward kid alot but i suppose that is what keeps us humble.
saturday was spent distracting a friend while her husband prepared a surprise 30th birthday bbq party for her. it was pretty fun and apparently i am quite the actress as she had no idea. i started playing around with my new camera at the party and took tonnes of pictures with it, now i just have to figure out how to upload them to the computer.
we wandered around lilac fest on sunday but it was insanely busy and crowds like that put me into a bad mood as i feel like people are rude and pushy. then i get rude and pushy...vicious cycle. we headed home and took a detour at the drug store for nyquil in hopes of killing the cold. did not work but we both slept well. then we capped off the evening with a hot dog and a b rate horror film that a friend of mine made. it was pretty cool to see someone doing what they love and to see all the friends who came out to support it.
so that was my weekend, they are never long enough that is for sure...
