GGG Birthday Guest No. 13: Aritzia, 25

{aritziablog}

This event is the top secret shit that I mentioned the other day.. gosh, that was hard keeping my mouth shut! Now I can finally talk about it: a one-time only sale that will run thru the dates specified up there^ on the flyer. We don't do this very often throughout the year so this really is only the biggest deal ever. Seriously though everyone it's gunna be nutty... when the staff is told to go into "Boxing Day mode", you know it's about to go down. Come celebrate the company's success and this quarter of a century milestone with us by shopping and saving (preferably at my location, kthxbye)!

Cold Night?

...grip yourself a Hot chocolate!

It is so cold in my house that Raymond and I had to bust out the portable heater yesterday evening. And the La Senza booties. Can't wait for tomorrow to just be over (the 8AM wake-up call and class until 5PM part) so that it can finally be "TV Show Thursdays". Yessir, it's exactly how it sounds. He downloads all of the latest episodes of our shows and we watch 'em all right after one another to the point where we've been in bed for hours. "Swim in a deep sea of blankets, blah, blah be a while... whatever that song you always quote is." Um, I've made it out to sound like a tradition but really its not... tomorrow is the first TV Show Thursday. I'm excited.

So harmless and pretty. But like how almost everything else in the world is "bad" in excess, soon too will that apply to snow.

GGG Birthday Guest No. 9: Madeline, 19

Last Saturday, Rachel had a Dress Only party at her place for the girls (and boys, who suited up very nicely) at work. It was a cute little party held as a surprise for one of our Floor Manager's Madeline. Complete with drinks, appies and literally the best cake ever (you'll see), it was nice to get away from the store for once and just chill with everyone outside of it. But like I said... love your job and you will never work a day in your life. :)

Hottest Day Of The Year

On Wednesday, we hit a record high of 34°C here in Calgary:
...and we enjoyed it together while studying. That's focus, errrbody.

I'm Not Even 21 Yet

These were all brought into my possession because my Dad decided to give my sister and I a brownie to split at Crossiron Mills last weekend. I assure you this does not happen everyday and I am one of those people that feel much better justifying my purchases knowing that I earned the money used to buy them... but I caved in this time. It makes me feel a little better knowing that I got enough bang for my buck ($50, to be exact) doing so at FXXI. Anyways, I think he knew right away what he was getting himself into because that night when we came home he greeted us with a "So, what did you girls buy?", which in turn lead to a mini show&tell in the kitchen and a couple of kisses on his cheek before bedtime. That and the fact that he didn't ask for the change, haha:

GGG On Holidays #1 (PT.2): Father's Day Dinner

Although most often reliable and handy when it comes to picking a place to eat when you and your friends just can't decide, the iPhone app Urban Spoon is NOT ALWAYS trustworthy in the suggestions it gives. I posted earlier yesterday night that we had reservations at this restaurant called La Viena; drove by the place which was tucked into this little corner off of Kensington and I know it's harsh to judge a book by its cover, but we ended up trashing our 7PM reservation and decided to look for something a little more... dare I say: presentable. Besides, the kids were treating Dad out to dinner and you can't blame us for wanting it to be a good one, no?

Pretty sure the Boyf and I saw the exact flowers used in Horton Hears a Who? No big deal.

WEDNESDAY: woke up next to him / made our own breakfasts / sat at the kitchen table, read the newspaper / had a date at the zoo (see photos below) / searched the gift shops for wolf shirts / came extremely close to finding one / got lucky and left before the rain started / came home / watched marley and me / cried. / made a late lunch salad / took an afternoon nap / went to wing night / watched sytycd / j's / saw the hangover / laughed. What I love about summer? ...

It doesn't ever matter what day of the week it is.






A few of our zoo friends!

Done, Son!

Yesterday my little brother "graduated" from Grade 9. Couple more months and this guy will be in high school... I KNOW RIGHT?! Unbelievable. I am such a sucker when it comes to people growing up.
