- Getting a shirt and a dress for $12, total (though the techno music in the store drove me nuts)
- Lasagna for lunch, sitting in a cafe next to an open wall (as in, no windows, no doors, no brick, no concrete - just a gaping hole in the cafe that lets you put your feet out on the sidewalk as you sit inside the building)
- Swiss Chalet gift cards from Shoppers Drug Mart and friends who are willing to use them up for you for dinner
- Finding Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert's Rolling Stone issue for $2 (no tax!)
- Buying a copy of the latest GQ (UK version), featuring James McAvoy, Simon Pegg and Stephen Merchant (best issue ever, eh?)
- Walking into the world's biggest bookstore and hearing the soundtrack to my lovely Once
- I'm sure Michelle thinks I'm crazy now. You can hear the music from inside the store, outside of it as well - and as soon as I heard If You Want Me, I jumped (a little!) and screamed (a little!) in excitement right there in the middle of the street
- Converting friends into Glen/Frames fans
- Amy's a Frames fan now! She just spent all night listening to the 3 albums I sent her, and that's big for Amy who doesn't usually have non-classical music on in the background. I'll have to send her more soon.
- Also, Michelle's joining us for The Swell Season show. So, I bought her and Johanna's tickets today. I think between me, my friends, and Addey and Esther and their friends, we'll have the entire front row filled up ;)
- Having friends that, clearly, rock and are actually receptive to your incessant and non-stop blathering about all things Damien and Glen related.
- Signing an affidavit! (shush you, it's exciting to me)
- Having everyone at the clinic warn you that a certain client is rude and troublesome, then getting her to open up to you herself. I don't know if we can really help her though... it's a pretty complicated situation :(
- The most awesome chocolate chip cookies ever - the cookie-store at The Eatons Centre, bottom floor, opposite the Hallmark
- Working, and thus, being able to splurge on a pretty purple sweater from Jacob Connexion without guilt - I'll head down to The Gap this weekend to buy a black dress that's on sale (will be charging this one to my mommy though)
- Finding a t-shirt store that sells "That's what she said!" t-shirts! Michelle and I are getting them next Friday. Only $25 no less, and printed on American Apparel tees. So excited!
As you can tell, I had a pretty amazing day. Definitely not stress-free, but very pleasant... very not-quite-teenage-appropriate, but not-quite-adult. Which is a phase I need to take more advantage of.
Friends page, I'll catch up on you tomorrow but it's 3am and I'm looking forward to finally getting a good 12 hours or so of uninterrupted sleep.
