Beautiful Saturday for Shopping & Condo-Warming
Or it would have been if shops didn’t close so early at Shops at Don Mills!
It was quite disappointing to see the Coach storefront sign say “open ‘til 9pm on Saturdays” when the doors are locked and while the staff paid no attention to my failed attempt at pulling open the door at 6:30pm. Little did I know after checking the Shops website that all stores are only open until 6pm on Saturdays. Boooo!
After a short visit to Fairview Mall (or its washroom and Forever 21), Jon and I made our way to Betty’s for her condo-warming party. We would have arrived fashionably late…but again, little did we know: She expected her guests to arrive even later and was out buying things for the party. We were left waiting at her apartment door. How embarrassing. (What is up with us and trouble with timing today?!)
At least when we finally got inside, we had a blast.
Pizza and wings + board games + awesome friends = perfect night
We spent hours (until 1am) playing Apples to Apples and had many “I’m-laughing-so-hard-I-can’t-breathe” moments…or at least I did, in particular when Jon assumed he won and grabbed the green cards without hesitation.
RE: Above photo—Look at all the green cards I have! (Okay, so mine were spread out while everyone else humbly stacked theirs. I was not the winner of the night. Sigh!)
One of the best answers of the night went to Alan: the green card (topic) was “busy” and his red card (answer) was “gravity.” The other choices were “machine gun” and “leeches.” I suppose gravity truly works the hardest and is the busiest!
It definitely requires efforts and wit to predict how your friends will choose the answer they like best!
RE: Above photo—Seriously? My boss, Fidel Castro and cockroaches are playful? Guess which I chose as the most appropriately “playful” thing?*
My friends are weird.
All in all, a fantastically fun night. I miss board game nights with my friends. We need more of those! Who’s up for regular (bi-weeky? monthly?) board game nights?
*I chose cockroaches…remember 小強 (from a Chinese TV show)?
