Expo Weekend

It was quite the eventful and productive weekend!

Thursday - I took both Thursday and Friday off to prep for volunteering at the expo and to relax/do some chores. During the afternoon we picked up our volunteer swag bags and badges and then I went back home and did laundry and cleaned all afternoon. Then I went out for another poutine tryout with my friend at Modern Steak. When we got there, the assistant manager recognized my friend who had helped them choose their glasses (she's an optician). He then gave us glasses of prosecco on the house. That was really nice of him! It was my first time going there. We ended up sharing the Chili cheese and lobster poutines. The lobster poutine was pretty good. I really enjoyed the fries as well but it was a bit saltier than we thought it'd be. After dinner, we went to Higher Ground for a coffee break and chatted a bit. Then my friend and I went home. The bros were playing board games when I got home, so I just did some online browsing...

Friday - We volunteered at the expo, and that's what we did for the entire day... we covered the parade, and a few panels, Mark Meer and Boy Meets World as well as covered some of the video game area. :) After volunteering, we went to a friend's birthday party. I also picked up some foundation samples from my friend for the Guerlain Parure in No. 2. So far it looks good but it's kind of bright!

Saturday - We had another volunteer shift at the expo and covered Hodor's (Kristian Nairn) panel, Mara Wilson (Matilda) and my friend's panel as well as some other ones. Afterwards, we went to Bookers BBQ and O Cup for some food and bubbletea. Wow, the chicken was so good at Bookers. It was my first time going! We went with some friends and had some chill chats until about midnight. I was soooo tired.

Today we didn't have volunteering so we just took the day to explore the expo. Went to Stan Lee's panel and Jeremy Renner's and I almost bought a Gudetama barrel bag from Mars & Venus. Sigh, I just could not justify the price tag of $89+... maybe at the next convention. I would love to bring the bag to use for work and casual, but it has Gudetama's butt on it... haha, so I would only get to use it on weekends/after work. It was really good quality though. Hmm. I'm still thinking about it.

Tomorrow we're going to check our the Star Trek exhibit at the science centre, and then I am going to prep for the week. I'm trying out a new routine where I prep all my snacks at once and all of my outits at once for the work week. I'm also trying to plan after work stuff too in my journal as well.

Time to chill some more!
