So, instead of researching a minutes worth of information about cheese to add to an already very exciting french presentation about french food (in case you just decided to skip the french part without even looking for cognates), I thought I'd take some time to write about the amazing, but unproductive weekend that I just had!
On friday night, I had a great time an Campus for Christ, which was followed by some great conversation (and food) at the Draft, and then a great game of apples to apples, and three great conversations on skype!
On Saturday I did a tiny bit of work, and then went to the market with Veronica to buy vegetables and fruit, probably for the last time of the season. We had such a good time! I bought beans and squash, and onions, and spinach, and broccoli, and cauliflower, and honey-crisp apples (my new favourite). Then we were heading out for dinner when we saw a BEAUTIFUL sunset, and ran up to parliament hill to take pictures. When the sun went down we walked back through the market, and ended up going to the Keg for French Onion soup, which was oh-so-good.
Sunday I went to church, and went to a friend's place to get ready for our french presentation. Yes, it's the typical french food presentation: do some research, find some pictures, bake something for the class. Yippee. At least the thing we baked looks amazing, and tastes good too! After baking, I met Veronica at the grocery store to pick up a cake for Taylor, came back to the room and began decorating for a surprise party! She had gone home for her birthday, and came back at nine in time to find a room full of balloons, streamers, and friends. Oh yeah, and cheese cake.
So now, I have a room full of balloons, which in the morning we'll have to stuff into our wardrobes so that the cleaning lady can vacuum tomorrow, and I'm sitting at my desk procrastinating.
Life is grand!
PS, I'll post some pics tomorrow!
