This week isn’t looking so bad afterall

Another way I think I’m going to try and keep myself busy is going running and working out. I’ve stepped away from that lately, but with all this extra time that I have, I might as well. A friend and I are going for a 5 hr. hike on the North Shore right after work on Thursday. I’m excited! Apparently it’s a beautiful 15km hike with a nice waterfall. It’s not going to cost me anything, and it’ll be a great work out and a chance to catch up with an old friend.

Tomorrow I’m meeting up with an old high school friend for coffee at Metrotown. I also want to pick up a book that my cousin was raving about. It’s $13. Normally, I would go to the library and borrow it … but I just checked online, and there’s a wait list about a million people long … and I want to read it now, while I have the time. Not the most frugal thing to do. I still might change my mind.

Saturday, my friend was coming over from the island, and we were going to head down to Seattle to catch an evening ball game. Unfortunately, it looks like the Mariners are playing an afternoon game instead! Boo! So she’s not coming anymore … but I think I’m going to head down myself anyway. Not for the game though. There’s something I want to pick up at a store (only available in the USA – no online ordering available), and I really think I could use the drive. Saturday is supposed to be sunny … I’m still not sure if I will actually end up going, but I would really like to.

Then, Sunday I’m heading back to the island just for the day to see Cirque du Soleil. My friend got 3rd row tickets … it’s going to be rather expensive, but my mystery shopping assignment from tonight will more than cover the cost.

Also, you have 4 days left to sign up for the June Dining Out Challenge. So far, we have 32 37 participants! :)
