Postcards From A Change Of Plans...

Well, due to the HORRENDOUS weather Toronto was having this morning my Uncles flight was cancelled... and by horrendous, I mean a little fog! Bastards.

We were looking so forward to a night out too. We never get to go out, and even more rare is an opportunity to hang out and party with my family. After a half hour of solid complaining and 'woe is us' we tried inviting over a few friends (the few friends we still have that are within driving distance) as we were in a 'party mood'... but alas, we are losers! No dice.

Soooo... we made a visit to the one friend who has never let us down... our friendly neighborhood liquor store! We went in for a bottle of Pinot Grigio, but walked out with the 3 remaining varieties of Novello/Beaujolais Nouveau wines as well as a bottle of Baileys (mint)... and the intended item became an impulse buy as there happened to be a bottle of Grigio left behind at the cash. So we may not have family or friends, but we got booze!

We have big plans too to try and make up for our lack of company... we plan on staying up past 11pm tonight! I know, call us crazy! But all joking aside, this really is our big goal for tonight. We always have lofty ambitions on a saturday night, but by 9:30 we are both wiped and accept our lame ass life and sulk all the way to bed. Not tonight though, hence the coffee we are currently enjoying!

You would think Gordo had a few caffeinated beverages this afternoon as he has been sleepless since his morning nap. Nonetheless, the boy is doing great for only having 90 minutes of sleep today. It will be an early night for him, which also plays well for our 'big plans' tonight, as we typically hold off the sipping of beverages until he is in bed.

And speaking of that early night, we are pretty much there.

So that's that... till next.

You should stay up and watch Saturday Night Live. Play a drinking game. Everytime a joke isn't funny....take a drink.

You'll be smashed by the end of the monologue.

I hate when plans like that don't work out... but I'm sure you two had fun together anyway (since you always seem to find interesting things to do)

I just spent 10 minutes trying to think of a cute acronym for LCBO (to try and give it a name that would imply what a good friend it is) but my brain can't think of anything good.

Hope the night went well and you did manage to stay up past 11pm you crazy party animals ;)
