weekend in pictures.

Hopefully our new couch fits through the door. 

The weekend isn't even over yet and it's been lots of funs and whatnot around here! Friday night was a low-key dinner at our one of our neighbourhood joints, followed by a cozy evening in. My favourite.

Saturday was great too! I went for a fantastic run early in the A.M. and ran into my principal from school. She's the best lady ever - and how many people can say they ran into their principal on a run and got a hug, I ask you? Best! Later I met up withlady Julia for fun lady things and browsing downtown (let's not forget coffee and granola bars), then dinner with our manfriends - yum. 

Today has been one filled with pyjamas and far too much coffee from my favourite pilfered mug (more on that in a bit). I have big plans to go out later and grab some fixin's for a delish Sunday dinner - mmmm pasta!

Here's what we've been up to over here, in picture form.

 Cricket fell in the bathtub.

He was super embarrassed. 

It was completely adorable.

I decided a nail art pen was a good investment. 

I subsequently spent more time than I'd care to divulge painting my nails.

With hearts and stripes. 

5 years of post-secondarey education well spent, folks.

If you have never played Bananagrams, get on that.

It's the best thing ever. 

(Also, what is this website!? I had no idea. Best. Ever.) 

 Caved in and bought these for next summer. 

 Blast you Modcloth.

So, ok. Every morning when Derek and I walked into the kitchen, we were met with puddles of lukewarm water that Cricket had splashed all around the kitchen. It was the grossest thing ever. This weekend I finally smartened up and bought these ceramic dishes for his food and water. They are 100% for sure dog dishes, but over here we just don't seem to care. 

I run along the path on the right side of this picture. 

Best running path ever!

Every time I go running I think about how much I love our city.

(Then I go out to get groceries and the slow walkers and sidewalk talkers get in my way and I forget. If people could only learn how to respect pace and space! Man!)

We went here for dinner. It was... YUM. 

(Here, Julia demonstrates the excitement that was felt about the food.)

And dudes, they grow some of their own veg here!

I'm a sucker for a good cherry tomato, I tell ya.

This is the coffee cup I accidentally* (*ahem.) brought home from my last job 

(at a different school).

It's perfect. I choose to believe that this cup has always been mine and that we just recently found each other again. Kind of like that scene from Teen Witch where Serena talks to Louise about her pendant and tells her, "It belongs to you, you belong to it. It's a symbol of your powers." Yeah. My coffee drinking powers. 

On another note: Should you watch Teen Witch? Probably. Is it good? Let's talk about what that word "good" means. If to you, good means entertaining as long as you forget about the fact that the film does, in fact, feature bad acting and a song called "I Like Boys," you should be ok. Also, this scene is amazing. Amazing. AMAZING."He's so funky!" 

Yep. He's something alright.

And we shall close with the Cricket in his natural habitat. 

I love his dreamy/half asleep face. 

(Prior to this he was totally cuddling with that mouse. But our little buddy here is quite camera shy and I juuuuust missed a sweet photo op. Thems the breaks, kids.
