Had an awesome 4 day weekend! We had great weather on Sunday
and on Monday (sunshine and 15 degrees!) – needless to say, I am feeling
refreshed this morning ;)
The weekend festivities started on Thursday evening – I told
Bobby I would hide Easter eggs around our apartment for him to find over the
long weekend. I bought some Ferrero Rocher eggs (looks like Ferrero is jumping
on the Easter candy band wagon) and some Caramilk Easter eggs (these are the
eggs Bobby requested). Each night (Thursday to Sunday), I hid three eggs for
Bobby to find the next day (one giant Caramilk egg, and two smaller Ferrero
eggs). Bobby was pro and found all of these eggs no problem. Next year, I think
I am going to hide plastic eggs and get Bobby to swap them out for real
chocolate so I can hide more than three at a time (I was paranoid that if I hid
too many, Bobby might miss some and we would be finding old stale chocolate for
the rest of our lives).

Friday:
It was pouring rain on Friday so we stayed at home. I
cleaned, cleaned and cleaned our entire apartment. Our apartment was due for
some spring cleaning ;)
Bobby worked on our side tables… and while I was cleaning
and watching Friends on Netflix, I dropped my phone. Now, I drop my phone on a
daily basis. I have not had a phone that I have not dropped/ruined. Bobby calls
me clumsy.. but I mean, how do you even begin to “fix” clumsy? I don’t think
you can…. Anyway, so I dropped my phone and the screen shattered… I mean,
shards of plastic everywhere… All I can say is thank goodness for Groupon – I bought
a deal to get my screen fixed (65$ for a new screen when normally it should be
130$).
Saturday:
I
went to PiYo as per usual – we moved studios as of Saturday, and the new place
is great! It’s about 5 minutes from the old studio, but it’s a lot bigger, and
the layout is better than the old one.
After
PiYo, I raced home to make lunch/eat lunch/shower so we could head out for the
day. The first stop was to get my phone screen fixed. I went to iFix in
International Village and I am impressed with their service! They did a great
job and it only took about 25 minutes (one hour for me because I arrived as
they were going for lunch). Anyway, I highly recommend them if you need your
phone or tablet screen repaired. While we were waiting for my phone to get
fixed, we went to Home Depot so that Bobby could buy some things he needed for
the side tables… Then we went back to pick up my phone and then headed to
Tiffany so I can pick out a birthday present :)
We
hit up Thierry Chocolates since they are pretty much right next to Tiffany on Burrard/Alberni. I wanted to buy some lychee macarons but they were
all sold out.. so I left empty handed :(
Wet then had dinner at Memphis Blue’s (Southern bbq place) and then we went to
Chapter’s on Broadway to kill some time before watching a movie. The movie we
watched was “While We’re Young” and let me just save you some time and money by
telling you NOT to watch this movie. It is by far the worst Ben Stiller movie
ever. No wonder it didn’t make the “big screens”. We watched it at Fifth Avenue
Cinemas, a small theatre on Burrard St, which normally only plays small,
independent films. Also, no offense, but this theatre is old people central.
Like literally, there were elderly people waiting in line with their walkers
and oxygen tanks… etc. I mean, I get that we all get old… but I nowknow which
cinema I will be hitting up when I am old and gray ;)

Sunday:
Bobby worked on our side tables some more, and I chilled out
and enjoyed the awesome weather. We had dinner at my parents’ house (small
Easter dinner with my parents and my bro and his gf). Good food, great company

Monday:
I hit the mall for some “browsing”. I am in the market for a
new blazer… there are a few I am eyeing in Aritzia… also I went to Sephora to
try some new foundation. I am wanting to buy some more “organic” make up and am
looking into buying the Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation. I wanted to try it out
first though since foundation is so expensive… and sometimes, certain
foundations make my skin break out. We are less than three months away from the
wedding so I don’t want new acne/acne scars). Anyway, so I tried it out for the
day (I think I got to Sephora around 10:15am… literally right after they opened
and left it on all day until it was time for PiYo around 8pm) and it provided excellent
coverage. I think I will be picking this up later on this week ;)
Anyway... so I didn't get anything at the mall (In fact, I actually returned a couple of things!). I did buy a few necessities at Shopper's though: toothpaste, dish soap, mascara, allergy medicine...

I was a little bit dismayed at the fact that the double digests are now 5.99$ before tax (they used to be 2$ or something!). Luckily, I no longer have to buy these on my meager weekly allowance...
Monday was also Kiwi’s bath day so yesterday marked the worst day of Kiwi's life (since her last bath) – but her housekeeper came around to wipe down her floors, scrub her
wheel down and refill her food… so she was in good spirits post bath!
