She's got hearts on the soles of her shoes...

I’ve been meaning to blog for a while now…
Quite a bit has happened in the last week or so:
- My brother Jesse was in town visiting (his girlfriend actually cause she just moved here about a month ago, but I got to see him too J). We (me and Tara) went dancing with him and Maren (said girlfriend – very nice, and cute) at Hush on Friday night because there was a dj that Jesse really likes playing. It was fun to dance, but Tara and me didn’t last too long (it wasn’t entirely our scene…) we headed back to her place and crashed. On Saturday morning, we met Oona for breakfast at The Blue Fox (one of the many excellent bruncharaunts in town) and then we went shopping all day and had supper at the Lotus Pond (mmmm!!! But I swear I normally don’t eat out twice in one day!!! It’s usually more like once a week… )
- On Sunday me and Crystal and Jesse headed out to East Sooke Park, to bask in the sunshine, ocean air, and take a walk along the coast. It was lovely. We had sandwiches, and apples, and chips with some of Crystal’s delicious homemade salsa (with tomatoes from the garden!). But poor Jesse’s feet! He was wearing Birkenstocks, which aren’t the best for that kind of trail.
- Had a busy week of work (four days of closing in a row! Whew!)
- The Finale of Rockstar INXS! It was so intense (shut up all of you)! But J.D. won, and while I was rooting for Marty, I think J.D. actually fit with the band better, and that’s what matters in the end I guess.
- The O.C. on Thursday. Steph and Sarah and Tara came over. Oh the soap opera sinks it’s teeth in cleverly hidden behind the darling dimples of Adam Brody once again. Thursday night line up… (and Happy Birthday Jay! Finally 19)
- Friday night consists of a low fat cake, frozen yoghurt, some people from work over to celebrate Jay’s 19th (he makes it over, but is in fairly rough shape from the previous night of revelry) we chill, eat some cake, and then head down to Hugo’s. Only Hugo’s is packed, (with older people). So, we head to the Sticky Wicket (Roof top patio) and find a table large enough (there are 7 of us at this point) under the only table where the heater is broken. We shiver there for a little while, order a round of drinks (coke for Jay) and then as soon as we see an opening for another table, we grab it. Only to discover that there is one more broken heater. (Insert Sandeep making some amusing comment about telling the weather from his nipples) Sarah Mc finally arrives and we decide to head indoors. Only to find no seating… anywhere inside… so. We head out side and attempt to find a location with enough seating for the nine of us (yes I can count, Sarah has a friend with her) It’s getting a little ridiculous (we really should have planned it better) Sandeep decides to head out, taking Lisa and Will along, so it’s now six of us. We decide to check out the cactus club, and low and behold, they aren’t that busy! And it’s warm! Wahoo! We actually had a pretty good time there, the food was nice (a little pricey but what can you expect) and the martinis were on special. Poor jay went home to recuperate for his Sub Party on sat night, and me and Dave walked home (brrr! It was chilly!)
- Saturday, the Matthew Good concert!!! Sooooo good!!!!
To be continued… (sleep first)
