Friday night we headed downtown to see Alice Cooper. Prior to the concert we visited my brother is his new, Yaletown digs. We grabbed some yummy pizza for dinner from a place on Granville Street (the name currently eludes me), and went back to Andrew's to play Rock Band.
Colin forgot to turn his alarm off, so I was rudely awoken at 7 am on Saturday morning. And then again, ten minutes later, because Colin only hit snooze... So I fell back asleep and didn't get up until 10:45 am, which is a) very late for me, and b) very bad as I had million things to accomplish that morning.
We had to get Colin's car window fixed as it was no longer working properly (you can tell I'm not a car person...). Long story short, the window got stuck in the down position, and the first rainfall of September happened to be a torrential downpour. So we quickly popped down the street to the local mechanics and dropped off the car.
After that we headed to Canadian Tire because I was in desperate need of a new pair of windshield wipers. After that we went to Denny's for brunch, popped by the library to pick up my books on home organization and the went to the Petcetera in Richmond to pick up more kitty litter.
We usually by bulk bags of the Petcetera brand of kitty litter and fill up our reusable bucket at home. Petcetera now has a huge bin of litter (the brand we use) that you can just scoop into your reusable bucket. Environmentally friendly. That's good. But when you do the math, it's cheaper to buy the bulk bag... Maybe they need to rethink that one.
We also picked up one of those fancy water fountain drinking apparatuses for the cats because they would much prefer to drink out of any running tap in the house and ignore their water bowl. Solution: one of these gizmos:
It seems to be working so far.
When I got home I had to get ready at lightning speed, including having a shower. It was almost 2 PM and I had plans to meet Thalia at her place in North Van at three. I managed to get out the door just after 2:30 and made it to the North Shore just after 3 PM. Not bad considering it was pouring with rain, and Rupert was just one, big obstacle.
Thalia drove us out to Coquitlam Centre so we could go to H&M. Yes, we choose to head to Coquitlam versus dealing with downtown. Afterwards we returned to North Van, went out for a sushi dinner, and rented a movie - I can't remember the title, but it's the about Mr. Bean heading to the South of France. It was okay. The TV show is much better.
On Sunday I went to my dance class - extra practice before the big show next month - and had a hell of a workout. After class I returned home, did a few things around the house, and then went over to Mum and Dad's for dinner.
