this was a great long weekend. my mom came down saturday and we shopped. i got a sweet new kicks that i'm in love with, and she got shoes and earrings for my wedding. josh, mom and i went for dinner at our favourite greek restaurant. we split an order of hummus and we all had grilled calamari. i have never had calamari as amazing as astoria's. it's just perfect. after dinner we walked down the danforth to a gelato place that was packed. mom and i each had 2 flavours and it was so delicious.
yesterday we didn't do much during the day. we bought some new luggage so we're ready for our trip to kenora later this month, and for our wedding trip. now josh and i have the same suitcases, in different colours. in the evening my friend michelle came over and she, josh, and i headed downtown to a bar called the madison. really cool place, we'll definitely be back.
today was jays/red sox at the dome. i went with josh and we met michelle there. it was a scoreless game until brett lawrie's walk-off homer in the 11th, but it was still a great game. some really good plays.
beyond the game itself, the big "excitement" today came from bumping into erin. ugh. not even bumping into, really. being approached by, is more accurate. super nutshell synopsis, for anyone just joining the tour, erin is a former roommate and friend, who for several reasons i cut out of my life last january-ish. this is the first time i've spoken to or seen her in many months, by choice. on the way to the stadium today, josh saw a tweet of hers saying she'd be at the ball game. we joked about running into her. i didn't think it was likely, the dome's a big place, and she sits in a different section than my preferred seats. not to mention that i figured she wanted to see me about as much as i wanted to see her. not so much. as game time got closer, josh went into the dome while i stood out and waited for michelle. while i was solo i caught a glimpse of erin and her friend walking by, but i was on my blackberry so i pretended i was involved in that and let them pass. i figured it was awkward and lame, but i'd seen her, she was gone, all was fine. i continued to wait for michelle, when a few minutes later erin approached me, alone, and said all shy and sweetly "hey, how's it going?". the conversation that ensued was awkward as shit! i would rather walk into a room with every ex-boyfriend than ever go thru that again. it was WORSE than running into an ex. "i'm working a lot these days, how are you, you look good". that was all her. i was looking at my shoes, being civil but also wishing she would just leave. for the record, i accepted her "you look good" with a thank you, but didn't reciprocate, even tho she's lost a bunch of weight, because get fucked, erin. when michelle finally arrived, i'm sure the look of shear relief on my face was visible to everyone.
god, i just can't believe how awkward that was. after the game, we went to the loose moose for a drink and some nosh, and i was hoping i wouldn't run into her again. i was happy when all the tables around us filled up and she was nowhere in sight. when we were leaving, and heading back to union, i walked out of the bar and josh told me when we got out that she was there. we'd been at the back, she was sitting at the front, so i'd walked right past her on the way out and hadn't even noticed. part of me hopes she saw me, and it was an extra little diss that i didn't even see her.
just to give you an idea of how fly i was looking today, complete with dope new shoes [purchased saturday]:
