Dreaming.In.Reality

Last night I went out with Marc to Staples.. OOOH how I dislike going to that mall*L* I had to get more bubble wrap, as well as pick up some more packaging tape as I believed we were nearing running out.. After Staples we ran to the LCBO, the to Home Depot. Now, I have always believed myself to not be completely helpless in a home improvement store, dammit I used to WORK at Home Depot*L*, but man oh man! I was like a total space case while standing in the paint brush isle. Marc found this long painting roller thing, which he proceeded to paint my head with while I was on the phone with K, which caused gigglefits. The Home Depot kid was hanging around to see if I had complete mental breakdown in choosing plastic drop clothes. I don’t know if Marc noticed, but the poor dude has a giant smear of paint dried under his nose. I NOTICED! ha.

After Home Depot we went back down to the mall area, to go to Montana’s for a light snack and a drink over some chit chat… they were packed.. so we went to Outback.. they were packed.. So we drove down over to the Conroy and it was not so packed. So we scooted in and we were greeted by my favourite waitress. She’s not like AMAZING waitress or anything, but I find her totally adorable and super funny in that silly sort of spacecake way. She used to be a bit of a erm, hippie/goth/punk (I know it’s an odd combination) sort of looking creature. Long dreaded hair, big chunky heeled shoes she could barely walk in, a couple of face piercings etc.. Well, her hair is SHORT! All chopped off, and dyed a caramely blonde colour versus the dirty blonde, caramel, dark brown hair she had previously. And she was dressed differently, AND she just had a wee nose stud. Super duper cute she was. I wonder what grabbed her for the change, She was still personality wise which is good*L* So Marc and I chatted, left, dropped him at home. Came home made Kev dinner and just gave up on packing things after I wrapped 4 out of 6 wine glasses. I have to do the last two today*L*

We had a bit of a late night, which made getting up this morning suck all the much more. Eef. But out the door we were to the lawyer’s office to do all the paper signing. It was quite a bit of paper. Last night I was joking around with Marc about how my signature changes EVERYTIME I sign my name. It’s never the same. Ever. So here I am in the lawyer’s office presented with about 10-15 documents to sign-lol- So we did all the signing for the house. We signed the paper saying we understand the terms, one for saying we understand the costs, one to authorize the lawyer to cash the check, one to authorize the bank to give the check to the lawyer, one to say the deed can be transferred to us, one for the title to be transferreed to us, 4 or so saying that we signed the papers that allowed them to do all this, plus another one to say we signed the papers that were saying that we signed the original papers.. Tomorrow when we get the key we’ll probably have to do more signing saying we got the key, and sign a paper that says we signed a paper saying we got the key etc.*L* All in all it only took about 20 minutes start to finish. If the bank is on the ball tomorrow with the monies etc, the lawyer thinks we should have the keys early afternoon. That would be extra nice, for those few hours to have more time to get going on things.. We don’t really expect the keys until end of working day, but hey! We won’t complain if they are ready for us to take at 2 :) I’m getting pretty excited now that it’s pretty much all done.

There is still some left to be packed. I’m gonna finish tackling the kitchen. I have to figure out something to do with all the flours, sugars etc, and pack the rest of that up. There are the 2 stray wine glasses that need to be bubble wrapped, there are shelves to be wrapped, office items to pack.. BLEARGH. I just realized while getting more coffay there nearly isn’t enough of the kitchen packed up. how the hell do you wrap steak knives? so yeah i really need to bust down and get that stuff taken care of. ugh.

After the lawyer we decided to go to breakfast as we were out and about and starving. Kev wanted to go to BellaVista which now offers breakfast. We’ve been there before, it was good, and fast! AND CHEAP TOO! We both had good sized egg, bacon, toast, oj, coffee breakfast there and it was in front of us in under 8 minutes, and the total bill was like twelve bucks. But being that Cora’s Breakfast and Lunch. It comes usually very recommended around here. As that article professes, it does have a HUGE selection of eats. HOWEVER, we did not eat that Merivale location but the Alta Vista location and ish. It wasn’t that hott. We had never eaten there as the price is a bit higher and there is usually a GIANT wait time.. but there was no one there, it was right next to Bella Vista, so we said why not, lets give it a go. So we did. We were seated right away, which was nice.. The waitress came by not too long after that, took our orders for orange juice and coffee. And then we waited. It was probably about 15 or so before we got our coffees and oj.. she took our orders. K got the Cora Special, which was 2 eggs, a stick of sausage, ham, one crepe, some bacon and a bit of toast. I got the Rosemary’s Sunday, which was 2 eggs, home fries and 2 blueberry crepes. And we waited.. and waited.

We were treated to one of Canada’s finest Armed Service people IN UNIFORM none the less, completely rag her kid out loudly. Every other word was “fuck” in various forms, it was pretty cool. Oh and the threats to smack him senseless was a good one too. About 35 minutes later, our food showed up. By this time we had passed the I’m really hungry, to the I’m so hungry I feel ill, and onto, I’m just not hungry anymore. The food is set in front of us.. it looks pretty tasty.. however my plate is the exact thing as kevins. So I’m like well crap, but I’m like that’s ok! I’ll eat it, I’m not waiting longer for them to fix it. So I start moving things about on my plate. Using my fingers of course*L* I’m a food segregator. I always have been. I cannot eat foods that possibly could be contanimated by other foods or condiments.. like syrup and ketchup. Must be kept seperate at all times.. The syrup must never touch the eggs, potatoes or meats.. only the crepes. So I’m piling everything over on one side of the plate, and the waitress/hostess comes running back at me going oh that’s not your plate it’s someone elses! And I’m like well, ok but i’ve touched it all with my hands, and she’s like your order is right here. So I don’t know what happened with that other plate. I highly suspect she turned a blind ear to I TOUCHED ALL THE FOOD WITH MY DIRTY PAWS, and some poor sucker got the pawed over bacon. ISH.

So I tuck into again seperating my foods*L* I can barely cut the crepes, they’re like rubber. As I’m cutting the dang things, I notice kevin forking his sunny side up egg number one onto the toast, and some is running down the side.. it’s not yoke, its snotty uncooked egg white -turns green- So choke through half the crepes, which tasted like baking soda. The eggs were ok, I always just get them scrambled at some places as i don’t trust them to cook eggs the way i like them. The potatoes were tasty albiet slightly garlicy. The bacon ok, a tad not crisp enough, but at that point it was like ok just eat and get out. The first cup of coffee we had was burnt and tasted like instant that wasn’t made strong enough. The second cup whiel not burnt tasting still was nothing spectacular. The orange juice was nice as it was fresh squeezed, but it wasn’t like OMG SO GOOD. So we ask for the bill, and have sticker shock. THIRTY DOLLARS. For breakfast. The orange juice alone was 5 bucks. I know it’s fresh squeezed guys, but come on! Oranges aren’t THAT expensive. So it will probably be a very long time we before we go back there. We’ll opt for the better food, service and price 5 doors down at Bella Vista.

Oh, and Cora’s gave me a wicked case of the poos. That alone is enough to make me avoid the place.
