Day 8
I woke up and tried to figure out if I could order my Frye's in time to be delivered the next day. The answer was yes, if I called in the order RIGHTNOW. But the customer service lady told me that the smallest they make is a mens 7 and if i'm a women's 8.5, the 7 might be too big. I didn't wanna risk paying $60 shipping to not have them fit. So while walking to Gelsons, Leigh and I decided to pool our wardrobes and figure out new outfit ideas. I would wear her red plaid shirt with shiny leggings and my black boots, she would wear the Abercrombie long plaid shirt-dress that she intended to buy with leggings and my Frye harness boots. Perfection! We then went to the bank where I opened up an American account, and also where I received several bbm messages from Roger, pretending to be mad at me for not letting him know I was in town. Our next stop was The Grove to get Leigh's shirt.
The afternoon was filled with birthday present shopping with Dave! We hit up Barney's, Saks, Neiman Marcus, Lululemon, the cute stationary shop in BH, Kitson & Burton. We ended up with black Uggs, Lulu crops, a Burton Feelgood snowboard, and a burton tshirt with a plaid logo - very fitting for the theme. We got home at dinner time, Morgan came over, Leigh went to a play with Christina, so Dave, Morgan, Terrie and I ordered Thai for dinner. It was a lovely dinner, and there was just something about having Terrie there that made it SO cozy. It feels like a real family house and all her candles keep it smelling wonderful (and add nice ambience)! Dinner was followed by 4 intense hours of cupcake making! Lemon Coconut, Vanilla with lemon icing, Chocolate with cream cheese icing and chocolate coconut. During the middle of my cupcake baking Dave & Morgan disappeared, arriving an hour later with Leigh and Christina who had been in a car accident! Someone had turned left right into Christina's rental car! It was sooo scary! Thank goodness they were okay - just a little shaken up. I didn't get to bed until 2 am, they all stayed up even later.
Day 9
I woke up at 6:30 and couldnt for the life of me get back to sleep. 4.5 hours of sleep is not good when you have a fabulous party that night! After lying in bed wide awake for half an hour I decided that i should just get up and do the full hollywood sign 8 mile hike because maybe that would tire me out and I could have a little nap. Did the hike, couldn't fall asleep because the sun outside my window kept calling me to get rid of the tan lines that i'd acquired on that morning's walk. So I went outside to tan for half an hour and maybe fell asleep for 5 mins. Then it was time for errands. I needed wrapping paper and a box for leigh's present (the LB anthropologie pillow that she'd been wanting since May), and had to get her Sweetheart OPI nail polish cause she'd been marvelling over my toes for the past week. I also needed to hit up Sprinkles becaues it was the first day of chocolate almond and my mom was desperate to try it! So I did those errands, gassed up my car for the first time (only cost $55! not bad)! and then met Leigh at Frederic Fekkai at 3 (she was fresh off the massage table)! We had a wonderful couple of hours with Kelly at FF, I wanted Barbie hair, Leigh wanted Shirley Temple curls, and did we ever get them! She also tipped us off that when the Melrose Salon opens they'll be gift bags with $1000 of free stuff in them! Amazingly the opening coincides with my birthday, so we booked blowouts and cuts for October 15th!
After hair we went home and started getting ready for the party. Oh but first! We dined on Birthday Sprinkles! But since I figured I better ease myself back into sugar eating (it had been 21 days) Leigh and I just split one. Pumpkin. Delicious. I wrapped presents and tied fancy bows, while dave played with stamps and wrote the cutest card ever. Dave and I also ran down to Gelsons to get beer & mojito supplies.
The dinner party was fabulous, Birds - not so much. I made mojitos, we ate Terrie's awesome spaghetti, posed for rad plaid pictures, got high in the backyard, and ate cupcakes. This was my downfall. After not eating sugar for 3 weeks, 4 cupcakes was NOT a good idea. As soon as we got to Birds i started feeling SO nauseous (and I know I wasn't drunk because I only had 2 drinks) and had to leave after like, and hour. Sugar is Satan.
Day 10
The next morning I woke up at 7 as usual and was zombie tired. But I had packing and organizing of my room to do so it was alright. Leigh, Dave, Terrie, Jordan and I went to Toast for breakfast, and it was soooo wonderful cause I hadn't been there in 2 years! Then it was time to hit the airport - so I could catch a flight to YYZ and so Dave & Jordan could hop on over to Germany. My flight was delayed by two horrible hours... I spent them uploading pictures, finishing Skinny Bitch (which makes me NEVER want to eat meat again) and eating my chocolate almond cupcake - sooooooo unbeleivably delicious! On the way home the middle seat of the 3 was empty and it was soooo fabulous. I landed at 1 am and was in bed by 2:30 - with a wakeup call of 7 the next morning in order to make it to the cottage in time for Waketivis...
