Birthday festivities!

So I had my friend birthday party yesterday. The festivities started around noon at Craft. We had lunch with Brad-Ja-Luca. They gave me their present (two hand knitted hedgehogs - awwww, and hand knitted socks, which I am wearing right now by the way). After lunch, it was raining lightly but Bobby was determined to fly a kite he built (flying a kite was on my bucket list). Yesterday morning, Bobby build a kite with newspaper and paint tape and sewing thread. I mean this thing was doomed to begin with. Anyway, he was determined to make it fly... it started raining pretty hard so we had to force him to stop (newspaper isn't water proof anyway).

Because we were going to be gone for the night, I made sure to give Kiwi a lot of attention. Here I am flipping her on her back and harassing her with faux grass.

Beers at Craft!

Luca was skeptical to begin with!

After lunch, we drove over to our hotel. We had booked a room at Opus in Yaletown. I was pretty damn excited to stay at Opus because it's a cute, small, funky hotel, with bright ornate furniture. Plus we got a good deal. The room was 240$ and we got 100$ back in Amex giftcards. I was a little disappointed AFTER booking when my coworker told me Opus is known to be a hotel for escorts... and then my friend Sebastian confirmed that rumour last night as well. AH!

Bobby had a lot of fun jumping on the bed. Oh to not being 30!!

Dinner and the party were at The Distillery at 6:45. I had such a great time! My friends are so awesome!

I had a pretty rough morning. I was soooo sick and nauseous last night so I threw up. I passed out.. then I woke up nauseous around 4am and so I got up to throw up again... but I was SOOOO hungry so I couldn't go back to sleep. I was so annoyed. Seriously. All I could think about was how hungry I was. I caved and ate a chocolate bar from the mini bar area. Then I woke Bobby up early so that we could partake in the crappy complimentary breakfast. We went back to the room to sleep some more.. then checked out aroun 11am to eat some actual food. We hit up Milestone's in Yaletown because they used to have the best eggs bennies. However, they changed things up and it is no longer good. How disappointing. We drove home. We were back around 12:30 and I napped form 1pm to 3:30pm. Then I got up to clean up and unpack and get ready for my family birthday dinner at the Boathouse and Port Moody.

So anyway, slight tangent, two months ago, during the gold medal men's hockey game at the Olympics, I brought my coffee mug with coffee (and milk!!) to my brother's house because we had to wake up really early! I accidentally left it there... and my brother didn't empty it or wash it. He didn't realise it had coffee in it. So I got it back after two months and... Oh my god it smelled so bad I left it in the parking lot. I thought I was going to vomit. I'm still kinda gaggy just thinking about it!
