Hot Spots From My Holidays

OK I am back from my mini vacation in Barrie where I went to visit family and friends. To be honest I had a great time. I was able to relax! And I was amazed that other than a mini fight with my sister the night before I was heading back home it was a peaceful visit... I guess we all remembered to smoke our peacepipes before I got there! *lol*
Ok in all honesty I loved it... I did go out a little but for the most part I stuck close to the house and enjoyed the time with my parents and my sister's family who live in the basement! It was nice to see my nephew for a few days without being rushed! He is such a cutie and he had a great time playing with Robert! He would come up the stairs every morning hollering for Robert to join him for breakfast! It was sweet!
We also had many trips to the nursing home to see Nonna. She wasn't too pleased with me when I moved Robert and I here to London and she misses us very much. Even through all her pain and psych meds she was able to enjoy our little trips for coffee each day. Robert is one of her little benne ricca's and he loves going to visit her and everyone else at the nursing home! It was nice to see her for more than a few minutes since we don't know exactly how much long she will be with us. I keep telling everyone that even though her health isn't that great she is from a family of strong Italian women where they tend to live long lives. I think she will fight as long as she can!
I also got to go out for dinner with a few friends to a bar/restaurant called Sticky Fingers. We were going to check out one of the cooks that my friend Kathy has a thing for... he is not bad! The fun part was how we were all plotting on how we would embarrass her! We didn't of course but it was fun to see her face go red anyways! After dinner that night Kathy, Kim and I decided to go out for some drinks and dancing. I thought it would be nice to go to a club that I used to in the old days.. mistake... I forgot about the feeling of being a sardine and I didn't like the fact that we were almost the oldest people there. We decided to leave and go back to Sticky's and let Kathy oogle over her cook! We had a blast... she thought he would think it crazy that we were there twice in one night but Kim and I played drunk really well and he didn't think twice... men are so easy to fool! *lol*
But as far as that story goes that is not the end! We went back for dinner the night before I had to come home so that Kathy could spend some time with Robert. This time it was Kathy, Robert and I and Kathy's highschool friend Cheri. We once again had a blast teasing Kathy about her cook and then it dawned on me... when the waitress brought us our bill there was aa comment card with it. I decided to comment on the restaurant as well as thank Joe for the wonderful food he had cooked us... Kathy read it and was scared about me handing it in! Well I gave it to the waitress and she put it in the comment box for me!!! I know I am so mean... but that isn't all! I also wrote her cell number on a napkin and asked another waitor that we knew dave to give it to Joe for Kathy. She couldn't believe what I did... that time her face was really red and I think she was ready to kill me! *lol* Don't worry I knew that I was allowed to give him her number before hand I just did it in a way that she didn't expect and was funny! And it all worked out in the end cause as she told me later she ended up hanging out with him later in the night! See I am a good friend even if it takes a while to realize it! Ha ha ha!
So all in all that was pretty much my trip to Barrie... or at least the highlites other than our usual trips for family dinners at Eastside Mario's with Nonna or to the Manderin since we all love Chinese food so much! I hope I didn`t disappoint you! *grins*
