May Long = 3 days of fun, food, booze & friends.
I understand some people may not partake in all or any of the shenanigans May Long usually holds but I certainly did. Let me tell you I am going to be on the mend for a while. There was all too much alcohol consumption Saturday night, lots of time spent with friends & family, so much food & it was so much fun!
My work day on Friday just couldn’t end fast enough. I stayed in the city & had a great supper of bbq rib slices (I can’t remember if that’s what they were called) and bbq potatoes. It was so good, although I was barely hungry from snacking all day in the office. That’s a habit that needs to be broken, starting now! We put posts up for a hammock, and by we I mean he did the hard labor while I stood by and just held the posts steady. Haha
Saturday I sorted through some stuff still in the garage at my parent’s. Dad’s been wanting his man cave back. After I was done there I drove back to the city to my cousins & we headed out to our other cousins house in small town SK for a party. Now this house is where my mom grew up. It belonged to my Grampa & then my cousin bought it. He’s done some modifications & updating to it but for as long as he’s been in there, it still smells like Grampa’s house. Don’t know what exactly it is, but it feels like home still. We always had a blast in the house when we were growing up. It holds so many memories. It didn’t end when we were younger either because that night was simply awesome, even if I did go over and beyond my alcohol consumption limit. Remind me that cherry whiskey & Baja Rosa shots should be avoided from now on okay? Thanks! S, M & myself(my cousin & cousins gf) had a blast. We pretty much had a photo shoot in the bathtub. Yes, we were fully clothed & no, bubbles were not included. It may have been the most ridiculous thing ever but I’m pretty sure I formed abs that night from laughing too hard!
Sunday was spent being lazy during the day & it was great. I napped at my cousin’s house then went out to my Auntie & Uncles cabin at a nearby lake. There’s something about lake life that I love. It was so calm & soothing to be there. We had a nice supper outside on the lawn. We then got a little adventurous & decided to climb the hill that’s behind their cabin. This was not an easy feat, especially in flip-flops. I was huffin & puffin when we got to the top, but once we did the climb was so worth it. It overlooks the lake & you can see for so long. The sun was starting to come down & it just bathed everything in golden light. The opposite side of the lake is all reserve land so there isn’t many, if any, developments. It’s so beautiful. We stayed up there for a while taking pictures & just relaxing. There was a big rock just randomly on the top that was perfect for taking a break on. We finally decided it was time to come down & along the way I picked some pretty wildflowers/weeds. Haha. I don’t care if they’re weeds as long as they look pretty. We spent the rest of the night relaxing in the cabin & playing card games. It was great.
Monday was another lazy day spent at the cabin. I ate way too much as it was just continual snacking on anything & everything. I curled up on the couch & read a book on my iPhone, gave my auntie a pedicure outside, & watched a movie. It was nice to have a couple of days where I didn’t have to rush around. I left the cabin around supper time & stopped & hung out in the city for a while. Afterwards I headed back home. Best feeling ever = having someone so overjoyed to see me. I got home when my Mom & puppy were out for a walk. I was going to get the last of my stuff from my car when my Mom & Cody came up the driveway. Mom let his leash go & it was a full on run towards me! I’ll never be lonely so long as I have my little stinker pup. He came & crawled into bed with me and normally he doesn’t actually lay on me but he always had to have some part of himself laying on me. It made me feel so loved!
It’s now Tuesday & the office seems to be a little sluggish. I blame the weekend & the weather. It’s raining & dreary out. The rest of the week doesn’t look any better for weather either. It’s going to be cool & rainy till about next Thursday. At least this will give me time to fully recover from the after effects of May Long!
