4 weeks left!!!

So, we are down to 4 weeks left here in the 'Gina. Or, in terms of our blog, hopefully at least 4 more posts till the end of this particular S&K adventure! Were is the time going?!

Just a few things to talk about today...

First of all, we thought we'd provide you with some more "Giners say the darndest things" quotes (we kinda fell down on the job with this segment till now):
  •  "couldn't you just get a job at a restaurant or something?" - advice from a little old lady with regards to our job search
  • "it's so amazing when you get your first paycheck and you can finally afford the Activia yogurt!!" - discussing our job search with a coworker... K could totally relate; it's hard only being able to buy yogurt when it's on sale!! :p
  • "my kid is such a turd" - overheard a mom referring to her child  
Yesterday evening it was beautiful and sunny out, and since it was the end of a long week we decided to go out for supper. We desperately wanted a place with a patio so that we could stay outside and enjoy the nice weather... there aren't many of these to choose from near the mansion, so we ended up at "Original Joe's." It's apparently some sort of chain where the waitresses are super classy and all wear identical black MINIskirts and shitloads of makeup. We were able to get a table on the patio pretty quickly, and in all fairness, our waitress was good so no real complaints. Bonus points for no smoking allowed on the patio! K had some sort of salmon and avocado sandwich thing with sweet potato fries and a salad; S had a blackened chicken and cheddar sandwich (with K's bacon) with regular fries and a caesar salad. We were both pretty happy with our meals, even though when S tried to put mustard on his sandwich it squirted halfway to Saskatoon! 4 SKs out of 5 (including the bonus for the smoke-free patio). The best part of our Friday night was going to sleep at 10pm (yes, we are in fact ballers) and not waking up until 9am!!!!

So far today (Saturday), it's another lovely day out in the 'Gina. We started off with our now Saturday morning tradition of PANCAKE breakfast!! Yum! Then we headed out for some great weather and our other Saturday ritual of iced tea from David's Tea. (By the way, you know an establishment is trying to be hipster when all of its employees have to wear cardigans!) We may eventually do a tea review blog post. K also got to wear her new ($15) sundress for the first time! Yay summer!

Now we're back at the mansion having a little rest... soon we'll be heading back outside to soak up some sun and start reading a new book together (tune in next time to find out what we're reading)!

Happy weekend, everyone! :)
