What I've Been Up To

It's the end of the week! Yah for Fridays! I thought I'd share a quick recap of my week:

I bought a bike! It's been a while since I've been biking but Vancouver is such a bike friendly city that I wanted to get back into it. I'm looking forward to weekend rides along the water and maybe even riding to work.

*This is not my bike but I wish it was!

A friend of my mom's was in town for work this week and we went out for dinner. We took her to one of our favourite Vancouver restaurants, Burgoo. They have the yummiest soup and stew type recipes. Everything is really fresh and oh-so-comfort foody. I had the Ratatouille but my favourite thing to have there is the French Onion Soup- oh so delish.

*This picture does not do Burgoo's French Onion Soup true justice

We're planning on going kayaking this weekend (suddenly I'm super active!) and I'm excited to get out on the water for the first time this year.

This week has mostly been work though and I'm exhausted from driving all over the Lower Mainland so tonight while E. is out I'm planning on watching Grey Gardens.

 

I've never seen it (or the original documentary) but it's been on my to watch list for a while.

Friday night is becoming my girly movie night. Last Friday, my friend Charissa and I curled up with a big bowl of popcorn to watch the awesomeness that is Wild Hearts Can't be Broken. We both loved this movie as teenagers/young girls and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

Did anyone else love this movie?

I have a serious candy addiction (Mike and Ikes, Hot Tamales, Sour Patch Kids, etc, etc) so to try to keep myself from eating candy I've been chewing the new Trident Layers gum. I like this green apple and golden

pineapple the best.

The flavour doesn't last super long but it's definitely got a sweet sugary taste that keeps me from walking over to the convenience store so I'm sold!
