A Weekend in Yarmouth

This weekend was so great. Ahh... it was sooo nice to have a break and to be away from home where it was impossible to work on school stuff or stare at a computer all day. It was lovely.

The camp fundraiser, "A Peniel Christmas", went very well with about 160 people in attendance! I made a beautiful pyramid of punch glasses. It was great. And then Marie knocked it over. Twice. heehee Not the whole thing, though! Just the top few rows. It was fine - very easy to fix! And I liked making it, so doing it over was definitely okay. I served punch for most of the night, and then I was moved to the buffet table to serve stuffing (it's stuffing, okay!? none of this "dressing" business!!). After many, many dishes, we left there and went to Boston Pizza for a late night snack. I spent that night at Joe's and got sneezed on by Sam (one of his dogs), who slept with me, multiple times through the night. It was lovely. ;)

On Sunday, after church, a few of us went out for lunch, including my Bainer!! So that was good. We also went shopping (yes, on a Sunday, but there was no other day for me to help Joe pick out a birthday present for one of his friends and some clothes for him), went to his hockey game, went to Zablocki's, and went to see CASINO ROYALE, which I must say, is an excellent Bond movie. I didn't think I would like the new Bond, but I did. He was very good at it. In fact, I think Casino Royale is rivalling The World is Not Enough for the position of "Amarea's Favourite Bond Movie". I'll have to see it again before I can decide for sure. It wasn't a typical Bond movie, which was nice. I won't provide all of my comments on it because I would ruin the movie for those who want to see it, but he wasn't a typical "one night stand" Bond, and I appreciated that.

I also watched You've Got Mail again this weekend with Brian. It's my very favourite chick flick, and I don't think I'll ever tire of it. I got to visit my Nana on the way home today, too. That was nice. She made me scrambled eggs and let me lay on the couch and writhe in pain from horrible, horrible cramps until my Tylenol kicked in. *sigh* I'm feeling much better now, though. :) And I will be even better tomorrow when my marketing presentation is done! But, yes, it was a good weekend, a good break. I need to do that more often.

Top 5 Memorable Moments of the Weekend:
1. "My thingie's sticking up your butt." -Brian, with a red face soon to follow
2. The butter trick... Butter on Winston, butter on Zablocki, butter on Brian, salt in the biscuit
3. Being carried up the stairs in the dark and then falling down the stairs in the dark
4. Freezing in the hockey arena because we were all too cheap to pay $1 for heat
5. "I'm not a sucker!"
