Cher and I had the pleasure of celebrating our friendaversary today! It is rare that we get out to the city together, just recreationally, so it is a VERY real treat when it happens! 💜
We started at the food court, because food court asian is affordable and delicious! We love to share a super combo!! YUM!
Also, Lawson Mall has a Spirit Halloween to peruse, which we did. We are VERY cool 😎
Our next stop was the new Michaels! Did you know they JUST opened a Michaels in confed?? As in, JUST yesterday?! Well they DID! So we had to go check it out, and we had no regrets!
A GHOST!! 👻
My happy place, if you hadn’t heard.
I got some yarn for myself, some for a Christmas gift or two that I have on the books, and some ornaments for the kids!
We got a little Starbucks, because we like to try to get a seasonal drink when we can! Cher is rocking that caffeine free life, and because of that, she hasn’t had iced coffee in a good long while! So, today was that day. And she was STOKED, as it plainly seen in this picture 🤣
We drank our Starbucks (those of us who didn’t chug it on the spot in the van) and moseyed through Dutch Growers while we waited for our movie to start! It was VERY festive in there!
My FAVORITE display!!! They hung wooden spoons from the ceiling that looked like they had been dipped in batter and icing! Cute!!
But it was finally time for our movie to start!!
Except it wasn’t, haha! Like, it was, but we watched previews for twenty minutes after the showtime, and then it seemed like things started to take a turn towards a totally different movie! So Cher ran out and confirmed it. We scooped up our things and made it to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice pretty late in the game. It was a good solid funny musical movie, but it felt SO short, which was a bit of a hard pill to swallow since we had missed such a good chunk. However, once it wrapped up, we inquired and were instantly offered free tickets and popcorn vouchers and upgrades and ALL kinds of lovely things for our next trip in. The manager actually said “Thank you for not yelling at me,” which tells you the quality of communication some people have. We thanked him profusely for caring and wanting us to be well taken care of, and we left totally happy. No bad feelings whatsoever.
We hit up Dollarama to see if they had anything fun out there on the Brighton side of the city, and then headed home.
It was a BEAUTIFUL day out with my very best friend. My sister 💜💚🧡 I’m so grateful to have a dear friend who wants to invest in our friendship and in my life and family. It is an honour to know her and love her and to be loved by her.
And a GIGANTIC shoutout goes to Brady for spending the day with all of our munchkins so we could go out and play. It was an incredible gift to us. Thank you, love.
I’m home now. Kids are in bed. Brady is about to hunker down to finally eat the burgers I brought home for him. And then, it’ll be tuck in time. I am very grateful for the day I had 💜 Thank you, Lord!
