Good Times

I had a very busy and productive weekend, in that I met up with three groups of people during the course of it.

I met up with my friend Wes yesterday and it was a very early start. I met him at the Elgin Street Diner at nine in the morning. Very early in the morning for me, especially on the weekend when I'm prone to sleeping in. Breakfast was alright: I could have done without the beans on the side that the ESD seems to serve. But the conversation was good and veered from Tom Waits to Touch of Evil to Wes' skin grafts on his teeth. I enjoyed hanging out with him, which is hard to do these days considering he has two children now. Hopefully, he'll have some more time for me during the Christmas-New Year's break.

I then rushed over to Moxie's Bar and Grill in the Bayshore Shopping Center (which was a zoo!) for lunch with my aunt and grandma. I had some calamari salad, which was very yummy, and even indulged myself in a white chocolate brownie -- which I wondered about afterwards considering that I'm trying to lose weight.

Then, this morning, I went over to my friends Anita and James' place for a brunch that consisted of yummy cheese scrambled eggs and medallion sausages. The breakfast was yummy, and the conversation was good too. It's hard to meet up with these friends, as well, considering that they also have a small child. (I have to admit that during the breakfast I was wishing and alternatively not wishing that I had one of my own.) We, too, will hopefully see more of each other in the New Year, as there is talk of starting up a games night. This is not to speak of the Horror Movie Club that James usually hosts. (UPDATED TO ADD: Thanks for the cookies, Anita!)

All in all, it was a very satisfying weekend. I wish more of them were like this one.
