Mondays are the worst day of the week...

Mondays definitely suck. There is not enough caffeine in the world to help you get through Mondays. I totally agree with the ever-popular notion of having a constant IV drip stuck in your arm as you carry out your day. In fact, make mine an espresso s.v.p.

Speaking of espressos and such, D and I went to Pub Italia on Preston st Sunday evening and it was fabulous. Imagine the best Italian food imaginable (at reasonable prices) with the added bonus of an atmosphere of an Irish Pub. Yes, you read correctly. Not only that, they have a beer bible at every table and they offer every beer possible I think. After sitting there waiting for our order (pesto thin crust pizza with sundried tomatos, mushrooms, chicken and mozzarella cheese....) I kept seeing other people's orders come out and thought to myself - yes, I want to try that next time - no, maybe that! OOOOHHHH!! Look at that ravioli!! The dessert came and I was in heaven. The waitress asked how everything was and I told her flat out - who needs men now when I have this!! (Kidding, but not really.... boys are dumb). I think she almost choked on her laughter. So, the plan is this. Next time we all go out to Absolute Comedy - we'll meet there for dinner and walk over to the club after. Capiche?!

Anyhoo... last week I went in to see the new GoodLife fitness club (previously Florida Fitness) and I couldn't believe how many more cardio machines they've got stacked in there. Looking forward to getting back in there after being away for a few weeks (thanks to the owner who kicked FF out apparently...) I don't truly understand what happened but at least they are refunding our last month's payment as well as waiving the cancellation charges since it was out of everyone's hands. At least with GoodLife, there are more clubs across Canuck-land so when I go away, I can probably hit one on the way or something. I'm looking forward to mixing my interval runs with strength training again. Whoo hoo!

Well, I hope everyone is recovering well from whatever the weekend brought you. only 11 days (plus the rest of today) until my VACATION!!! Then it's look out world, Lanny's comin' to town!!
