Well, this weekend wasn’t as productive as we had planned, but it was still nice. Our original plan was to go rock climbing on Saturday (which we did – and I climbed my first 5.10b!), and then go for a long day hike on Sunday. Well, the hike BF had wanted to do would have been at least 12 hrs. long – too much for me to consider as a day hike, especially because it would have taken 3 hrs. round trip by car just to get to that area. Then I guess we didn’t have a backup plan, so Sunday was pretty lazy. We watched a few movies and played lots of board games. In the evening, I went for a 30 min. run, but that’s about it.
I had to buy a new belay device for rock climbing, since I lost mine a few weeks ago and haven’t been able to find it. We think I left it at the gym and someone scooped it. So I picked one up for $23 at MEC. Expensive! While there, I also picked up a $34 backpack for day hikes. I might return it, since I already bought one last month but it didn’t fit right so I was going to give it to BF … but I think I can make it work. I don’t like the new one because it doesn’t have a place for my water bladder, and that was kind of the point. And the other one I bought does. So I’ll try it again after work today.
I also bought a tank of gas ($45.52), and treated us to dim sum and sushi on Saturday from T&T ($31). Expensive, but we had enough for lunch and dinner that day. I also rented I Love You, Man for Friday night, and that was $5.59 at Rogers.
Total weekend spending: approx. $140

[...] hard to find a nice small bag with a pocket specifically to hang my hydration bag. This past Sunday I returned a $34 MEC backpack that I had purchased in early August. It was nice, but I really like this Black Diamond bag better. [...]
