Weekend perfection

It could be the sunny spring weather or it could be the full agenda, but the past weekend was just wonderful.

It began with M and I waking up early on Saturday, totally naturally. We managed to pack the day full of shopping, shopping, more shopping, gardening, and BBQ preparation. I was even able to throw in a walk through the park, as I have to make sure I don't miss the cherry tree blossoms this year. M bought me a purse, that alone made it a red letter day.

Saturday night, we had a gaggle of close friends over for BBQ, conversation and poker. It seems that if more than four of us get together, a game of poker is not far behind. One of these days I will have to stop watching everyone else stress about the game and try one myself. However it seems that as everyone else gets better at poker, they also get more stringent about all the poker playing etiquette, so I'm either going to have to do a whole lot of research and practice before I join in, or rent a new group of friends to lean with and catch up to mine.

Today was lovely. I walked through the streets of my neighborhood on the way to the streetcar and marveled at the blossoming trees. What it is about greenery that gives me so much joy? I took the streetcar to meet Alasdair for a Jays game, which they lost by one run, but the weather and the conversation was fantastic. I think I absorbed enough vitamin D to make up for at least one month of winter. And when I got home from the game, I discovered that M had bought me some makeup. Two red letter days, back to back.

After calling my mother, to wish her a happy mother's day, M and I met his mother for a sushi-fest. So full, but so happy. And it's so wonderfully warm outside that I didn't need a coat and I could wear open toed heels. Bliss!

Man I wish tomorrow was a PA day. I can only hope that we can have class outside.
