true story.

so over the last month.. i have been all over the place.. first starting in chicago… where i attended a conference and overall had a great time… many exciting things happened like:

• meeting my real life next door neighbour from vancouver – true story.
• bar hopping and being silly with dan and jordan – thanks dudes.
• eating chicago-style pizza, great steak, and of course conference food.

from chicago i moved on to ontario.. where some activities included:

• killing the bottle of cognac i got at duty-free at my dad’s with janet
• reuniting with many of my old coworkers from western (andrei, andrew, chan, diane, jeff, michelle, nick)
• bbqing chicken, corn and potatoes in allison’s backyard
• meeting crissy (my only and awesome longtime internet pal) while enjoying dan and matt’s jam session… ohh and canoeing on uncle rick’s pond
• boating in the rain and many attempts at water skiing with andrei, his brother, and allison
• attending a blue jays vs yankees game with my mom and dan
• hanging out in the backwoods of scarborough with dan and leif
• getting lost in the niagara region, while wine tasting and stopping for a break in the park at the falls
• seeing and critiquing my dad’s new house with my sister
• eating hot wings and playing with remote controlled fans with kelly
• enjoying the ultimate feast at red lobster with my mom, sister and allison
• chatting and playing devils advocate with lindsey until the early am
• drinking with jason and allison on a roof top patio.
• losing at everything at jordan and lauren’s stag ‘n doe, except for the ‘guess the number of kisses’ that i co-won with phearum
• cruising around taking photos with jeff and jenn

ohh and since i have been back home…

• andrew and my mom have been sharing my living room – thanks steph for the air mattress. you’re the ….est!
• partied at my neighbour’s and went to honey with andrew, cameron and lauren.
• took a coop car in for tire repairs
• went apartment hunting with/for andrew
• developed a theory on the break-in that happened 2 doors over
• went to playland with cameron and kicked his ass at mini-putt

anyways.. there is so much more that i have not included… but hopefully, years from now.. this will be sufficient to remember the best parts of july 2006!!
