Spring is here!! At last!! At f@#*ing last!!

Something happens when it becomes spring. You stop spending so much time on the internet and start living. Or, at least, I do.

It's time to go to Aft and sit on the patio. It's time to find an abandoned bridge (scroll down to Eastern Ave.) where you can sit and drink beer. It's time to lay stones.

I've worked three 8am-4pm shifts in a row and each day I get up a little earlier. Today I was up at 5:20 am. I tossed and I turned but decided I might as well get up. I walked up to Broadview Subway Station and stopped at  Rooster on the way.

Hey, the other week we took in one of Puff Mama's comedy shows. Pretty neat, and we didn't even have to travel far. Hey, happy 4/20!!

Sometimes I miss the sense of community that we had in Kensington Market- and in other neighbourhoods that each of us lived in before that. But I remember that a sense of community takes effort, and now that the weather is nice, there are lots of places to go to meet people who live nearby. We were invited to a sangria party that we decided to skip because I'm heading out of town tomorrow and Paul and I haven't had much just-us time.

Now Lucinda Williams is playing on grooveshark and Paul is making a spinach salad. I am drinking a chocolate beer. Life is pretty nice.

Here is a post from a few weeks back:

So we both spent this past weekend at my "other" home. It was my father's birthday and Lily made him a "cake" out of Canadian Maple donuts from Tim Horton's. Since Paul wasn't there for my mother's birthday, her made them both his special lasagna on Sunday night. We played Anomia. I went for my first run of the season. I had to stop and gasp and walk and start running again a few times but I have more than half a year to get back into shape before the snow flies again (I hope, oh I hope.) I took out the hoop a few times, too. And, we watched Freaks and Geeks on Netflix.

Yesterday I helped make a St. Patrick's Day lunch of Irish stew, Irish soda bread (that was my part) and punch at the Resource Centre before heading back into town with Paul. Lily is on March Break and will be going to New York with her grandparents.

We were thinking of going to a comedy show across the street but we might just stay in. There are comedy shows across the street most nights of the week. We were thinking of going yesterday but I was in a meeting that ran late, didn't get home until after 11. When I got home, we still wanted to go out but the Irish pub downstairs was (understandably) packed so we went to Boots 'n' Bourbon instead. Tomorrow we check out The Bristol with some friends. 

Well, we brought some Oak Grove cheese with us and I made cheese omelettes
