Starting to be cold!

Brrrrr, Winter is coming! This morning on my scooter I wore three jackets, a scarf and gloves :))) My colleagues made fun of me when I entered the office as the Michelin Man LOL

On Saturday night I went to the Sigur Ros concert. I was soooo good. I bought my ticket 3 months ago for $37.50, and it was worth it :)

On Sunday I invited friends over and made crèpes for everyone. It was good but very long to make. We had fun and it didn't cost me much, just milk, flour and eggs (and Nutella :p).

And tonight i'm going to another circus show, the premiere of La Vie. I have a friend who works here, so I have a pretty good discount ($21.00 instead of $28.00).

Frugal plan for the weekend

I really don't want to spend too much this weekend so with my friends we decided to have a DVD marathon! :)

Each person will bring a movie that he/she had never seen before, with an actor that he/she really likes.

I haven't decided mine yet, but it will probably be with Johnny Depp :p

Free dinner and show tonight!

My boss has invited the whole team to the new show of the Cirque Eloize tonight(which is kind of like the Cirque du Soleil). I've never been to a modern circus show before. The only circus I've been to includes clowns and elephants :p

So I'm really exited about it :) AND, we'll have a free dinner, so I'm even more exited!!!

Last weekend I went to see the Oasis concert at the Bell center. It was fun except I don't really like their new songs. But listening to a live 'Wonderwall' was amazing :)

$200 richer!!!

Last weekend I babysat my bosses kids for the whole weekend.

He has three children so I was a little worried at first (I babysat them before, but never for two days straight).

But it turned out to be a fun weekend, even though we almost lost the dog in the park! His collar went off when he decided to run after a squirrel. Fortunately, a policeman found him, we picked him up at the police station :p

For the rest of the weekend we played games and watched movies.

And I got $200!!!! :))))

I spent a lot yesterday

Yesterday we rented a car with a friend of mine. We wanted to go have a swim in a nice lake, 150 km away from Montreal.

The weather was perfect, we had a good time bathing and sunbathing :)

We brought food to have a picnic: a tuna quiche and a home-made brownie (Yummmm).

This morning my friend told me that the car had cost us $111.00! Ouch!!!
I knew gas was getting expensive but this is crazy!

Anyway, I'm still glad we had a good time :)

This weekend

Tonight I'm going to the world championship of improvisational theater, which is part of the Just for Laughs festival. I received an email two days ago saying that it is free this year, so I reserved 4 seats for my friends and I.

Tomorrow we are celebrating the Belgium National Holiday. It is actually on July 21st, but it is easier to celebrate on Saturday.
I know, I'm French, not Belgian, and I didn't even celebrate July 14th (French national holiday), but my Belgian friends would take any excuses to gather around a glass of beer so they invited everyone to a local Pub :p It should be fun.

Sooooo bored!

I'm so bored at work... everybody left, I'm the only one there!

And my boss who usually tells me to go home early on Fridays, is fishing somewhere in the countryside, so I'm sure he has better things to think about.

3 hours left Arrgh!

My plans for the weekend: none for the moment, but I would love to rent a car and go swimming in a lake somewhere. I'll talk about it to my friends :)

My plans for this weekend

Finally a 3-day weekend !!!

Tomorrow night I've planned to go to dinner with some friends. We've chosen a restaurant that has a wonderful terrace on which a band is playing jazz.

I really like the atmosphere of that place, plus it will be my very first dinner on a terrace this year! After all the snow we had here this winter, I think it will be well deserved :)

It is a little expensive, but I am planning on being reasonable and to not have desert: it will be good for my health and good for my wallet!

On Monday, for Victoria Day, we will rent a car and drive outside the city. I think I'll enjoy a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to see the blooming countryside, it will be gorgeous.

This should cost me about $50 for the car (including gas) and $15 for a brunch or a lunch.
