This past Saturday was The Girl's 30th! We had a terrific three days of celebration. She even had Friday off to kick-start her weekend.
Her weekend started off with a major transformation. She got her hair cut! Her hair is, was, very long -- the whole length of her back. She was very nervous about doing it but I said how thrilled I was about it and that it's never a bad time to reinvent yourself. After all, a change is as good as a rest. When I came home from work, I saw her for the first time with shoulder-length hair -- it looked great! She's very happy she did it.
Later that day, we went for dinner at Canoe. The food was delicious. Every bite was savoured and the flavours were out of this world. Pricey? Ummm, yes. Worth it? Yes -- but only if you go once or twice a year or win the 6/49 jackpot. The view was awesome as the restaurant is located on the 54th floor of the TD Tower in downtown Toronto.
On Saturday morning, we went to her family's place for birthday breakfast and had a great time visiting. The Girl is a vegetarian so we had pancakes with veggie "sausage" and "bacon." The "meat" actually tasted good -- because it was her birthday -- and because I used the maple syrup quite liberally. We then puttered around the house and in the evening, some friends and family gathered at a pub for food and beverages -- perhaps too many beverages, but the important thing was we had a great time. Thanks to everyone who came. The gifts were appreciated but not necessary.
On Sunday we recovered and had a nice visit from my Aunt and her kids.
Here's to many more birthdays together! I hope she had a great weekend -- I sure did!
