Today was full of awesomeness. Amber decided on our Wicked tickets and we finally booked them for the night before the big trip to Ontario for her wedding. We even convinced her fiance to come with us, and Mom and Ethan can too, because they will be in town to fly out the next day. Perfect. If you Calgary types haven't booked yet, come the same night as us and we will all have a blast. And if you don't know yet, this is not one you should miss. Amber also cut my formerly super-dry hair (thank you). I love having a sister with skills. And gave me a spring door wreath, which she made. More skills. Then we talked the boys into going to Red Riding Hood because the trailers looked cool. YYUUUUCK! But we had fun making fun of it. Can someone please explain to me how a bunch of people living a rustic life in the snowy wilderness are so beautiful and why they don't wear coats? Oh, because if you wear coats, you can't see flesh. And where did they get all that hair gel? And how do they have such impeccable oral hygeine? Grr...it bugs me because I was hoping this would be one of those cool, "what if this fairy tale were real" movies, and it was definitely not. How Gary Oldman and Julie Christie got involved, I will never know. Maybe they had gambling debts to pay off. To add to the hilariousness of this was the two LARGE groups of females over forty, who were glued to the screen. Are these the women who read Danielle Steele? Not that there's anything wrong with that... After the movie we went to "chop", which I have been to twice before and have had impeccable service and food. So I talked Matt, Joe and Ambi into going, instead of going where we usually go. Well the food was a disaster (the boys' steaks were RAW and my halibut was WAY overcooked) and the service was below what I would expect at a PUB, never mind an upscale steakhouse. The good thing is, we each got a free drink, free dessert, and a free entree for "next time" out of it. So management did try to make up for it. Maybe Sunday afternoon is when they train newbies, I don't know. But we had lots of fun criticizing the cooking too (don't order the crab) and for ONCE Amber got the best meal! She usually gets the bad meal, if there is one. Then I booked our minivan for our London, Ontario family extravaganza, which was the last piece of the puzzle for the wedding trip. At the same time, made play dates with some girlfriends, so all-in-all, today was fun and relaxing, and vacationy, despite the snow.
