weekend happenings

August 28th, 2010 at 01:28 am

The weekend is here yet again. My friend is having a thing (we call it a thing, because it's not a bbq and it's not a party lol) this afternoon with workmates, to celebrate her finishing her apprenticeship. She is supplying food, and DF and I are buying her a bottle of Midori as a present. (It's what she drinks - like a fish). Expense ~$30.
After the 'do' I am staying on at her place and we are having a movie night. We have completely opposite taste in movies so we each pick one and force the other to watch it. It's fantastic. Last time I made her watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. And the time before was Deathproof. (Her picks were I Am Sam, and My Sisters Keeper).
This time I think she's making me watch Notorious Big and I was thinking of either 8mm, the Machinist or Shutter Island. Hmm...
We're having pizza, so dinner expense will be around $10. DF is going out with friends. No idea how much he will spend, though I *know* it will be more than $30! LOL. I am thinking hopefully under $100.

Some time this week I have to send my dads Fathers Day present so that he gets it in time. I am known for always being late with presents in the mail Frown It's something I have to work on. We bought him the book The Art & Life of Angelique Houtkamp. ~$35.

    Oh, ok. I know this is going to sound quite .... Ugly Americainish, but it truly hadn't occurred to me that other countries celebrated Fathers Day on a different day. I'm laughing at myself here. Smile

    I think it's the opposite here - we're so used to that, that we grow up expecting everything to be different.
