My week in pictures from my crappy cellphone


I'm addicted to la Pataterie Hulloise. And like all addicts, I try and get other people hooked so I don't have to feel bad about how often I crave it cos we're in like a circle of encouraging this bad but SO GOOD habit amongst each other. Kinda like how it's so easy to convince Katie or I to buy ourselves a fancy lunch on Wednesdays (our office day), now Kristina's hooked on Pataterie Hulloise too. Which makes me so happy and means I get to eat it more often too now and not feel too guilty about it. We made a dangerous discovery this week however - they have a loyalty card (can you believe they even have a little fry-shaped stamp??). It will be shocking how quickly we fill this puppy  up.

 

Went to Value Village and found 2 perfect pairs of ballet slippers for Eloise. I kept one as is, and the other pair I sharpied chevrons onto for when she wants to wear something a little more "funky". Being an aunt is awesome.





























I also worked a bunch (duh), which was fun cos we got some new shipments in like the aforementioned Ovate by Audrey Cantwell shipment which also included some awesome new jewelry.

And no big deal or anything, but I went to an AMATEUR WRESTLING NIGHT IN VANIER! It was so amazing, I already can't wait to go back. Especially awesome was how spontaneously these plans came to fruition. Was just having a burger with my pal Chad at the new Hintonburger when he mentioned having heard something about this happening tonight, maybe in like an hour or something? So all previous plans for the night were nixed in favour of a little trip to Vanier.





























I think my favourite part was the beginning of every new round, when the wrestlers would emerge from the back and they would do their strut around the ring in their costumes (fringed pants! glittery capes! and so much more!) and they'd come out on their theme song. (My fave entrance song had to be Eddie Murphy's "Party All The Time"). Also, just like the male soap opera that is the WWE, there are even storylines woven into these bouts too - complete with injury fake-outs and everything!

  
 I left with a brand-new t-shirt showcasing my new found appreciation for the sport (SIGNED by Koko B. Ware nonetheless!) and a phone full of wrestling pictures. If you want to see more, I tweeted furiously the entire night, I was just so excited about the whole thing!
