my family is crazy. not my immediate family, but my paternal extended family. my cousin and her family stayed at joy's house last night because they were in the area for a wedding. katie & chris are very nice. i decided to join them for lunch because i have next to no contact with the mcknights so i thought having a visit every few years couldn't hurt. i think it's pretty safe to say that it is the opinion of all the mcknights that everyone ELSE the family is insane. which i find hilarious and it makes me thankful that my contact is so minimal.
anyway, joy and i had arranged that i would meet them at the lone star at 12:30. our church service didn't end until about 12:40, seeing as i was already late i rushed out right away. when i arrived at the restaurant i couldn't find them. i looked both inside and outside twice, call their house, called my house, called my mom's house. after waiting for 20 minutes i was a little annoyed and decided to go home. so i biked all the way up queen street and thru the back streets of my hood. when i got home, there was a message from my mom saying "we're at the restaurant if you want to join us". they were almost an HOUR late. ARGH!!!!! so i got on my bicycle and biked all the way down there AGAIN! i was VERY hot and VERY sweaty. but at least i got loads of exercise this weekend.
tomorrow i'm going to toronto for the APTA conference/exhibition. i'm excited. i need to find something professional to wear, i'm gonna stop at the mall on the way to the train station. the problem is... how do i dress professional without selling out!??! tricky. i've made plans to meet up with helen for dinner and some hangoutage. we're going to go to kensington market or queen street west. i'm looking forward to that. yay! AND i'm going to take my swimsuit in case i get the chance to go swimming :D i hope the knickers won't get me in trouble for taking advantage of my time in T.O. like i hope she's not expecting to have dinner with me on monday evening.
i was born to laugh,
i learned to laugh through my tears.
i was born to love,
i'm gonna learn to love without fear.

'going to visit kensington market or queen street west'... ah, two of my favorite places in toronto - hope you enjoy your time there, les!
ps. i'll see you soon!
may I add that I have been having trouble eating my yogurt in the morning due to your past a few days ago :) don't post about any more of my breakfast food, please!
i agree, i love both those places. AND the scarborough beaches. awesome. although, there's nothing quite like downtown kingston. it has it's own charms. looking forward to seeing you!!
oh aphra :) you're too funny.
i think i haven't spent enough time in downtown kingston... but you're right, what i do know about it, i love and miss. like the goat.
