Woot! Four Day Weekend!

[browncoat2x2]

We booked tomorrow off, just to catch up on things and do some business stuff and to relaxxxxxx, AND because I took monday off for my Birthday - FOUR DAY WEEKEND!!

So, the question is, do I get some rest and go to bed at a reasonable hour? Or do I stay up as late as I want since I don't have to get up at 5am until next tuesday?? ;oD

Just over 3 hours from now.... and I'm freeeeeeeeeee!!!

And so... Birthday question!

What should I do to treat myself for my birthday??? Suggestions welcome ;oD

Dinner at your favourite restaurant and then copious amounts of wine? And cake! There must always be cake!

[browncoat2x2]

MMMMMmmmmm sounds good!

There's a shindig on saturday and I'll be going out for dinner then - they don't serve my favourite drink, but then no one does - so I've got the dinner covered.... And there's usually ice cream cake at my mummy's for desert, so that'll be covered on Sunday :oD I'll have to add the wine in there somewhere ;o) Good plans!!!! :oD

Oh, and btw... I need you to e-mail me your address... I found something a while back that I need to ship to you *waggles eyebrows mysteriously* :oD

Okay, it sounds like you're about to have a very, very good weekend. I'm kind of jealous. :D You should come visit me!

EEEEEEEEEEE! *rushes off to email*

[browncoat2x2]

Awwww I'd love to come visit you, but I've got things scheduled right in the middle of my weekend unfortunately, which would make my stay up there very very short!!!

*Drives 5 hours*
Mel: Frances!
Frances: Mel!
Mel: See ya!
Frances: Bye!
*Drives 5 more hours* ;o)

I'm hoping it's a good weekend! I'll let you know afterwards, if I survive! bwahhaaaaaa!

Also... got your email *cackles with mysterious glee*

Four day birthday weekend! Sounds like you're going to need at least half of that to be recovery time.
For your birthday, do something you realllly want to do, that would make your inner self squee, no matter how geeky or silly you think it might be.

[browncoat2x2]

Arent' Work days 'recovery time'??? ;o)

Something I reallllly want to do... hmmm I'll have to think about that one... hmmmm....

[thebitterguy]

Man, I wish I'd booked my birthday off. Oh, wait: I'm not ALLOWED to book time off in January.

[browncoat2x2]

Ugh, that sucks!!

I didnt' always book it off, but I've got enough vacation days that now I can blow one on my birthday...

[mrs-manning.livejournal.com]

I don't have any suggestions but have an awesome birthday! Seeing friends is the best way to celebrate :)

[browncoat2x2]

Awwww *hugses* friends are the best! When are you coming down here next? *misses*

[mrs-manning.livejournal.com]

What's your favorite drink, and why does no one have it? You should strike! Or something. I mean, no one really has my favorite drink, either, but the point remains.

Hmm ... what should you do ... Movie marathon! Get someone (or several someones) to hang out with you and eat delicious things while you watch as much as you want to of something. Provide pillows and blankets and hot chocolate!

[browncoat2x2]

Favourite drink currently is a Bellini... only three places around here make them that i know of: Mandarin, Milestones and Mongolian Grill (holy M named restaurants!) I keep asking everywhere tho... eventually someone else will serve them...

So, I've told you mine, now you tell me yours ;o)

Hmm Movie Marathon has some appeal, might schedule some time for that... maybe tomorrow. Good plan!

[youngcurmudgeon.livejournal.com]

I've only ever once had a Bellini, but I quite enjoyed it. I also tried a Bloody Mary on the same night and didn't like it as much as I thought I would, though, so it may have just come out on top.

My favorite drink has no name, because near as I can tell I invented it. It's coconut rum and orange juice -- sounds weird, but it's actually really good. I've taken to calling it the Tropical Spoon, just to call it something.

Yay movie marathons! Thoughts on what to watch?

[browncoat2x2]

No, trust me, the Belinni was good ;o)

I've got a couple of drinks that I invented (with the help of friends)

Melabu Beach:
Malibu Rum
Vanilla Coke
- Seriously, it's like being on the beach!

Zzub Zzub:
(invented with friend D)
Blended up blueberries and raspberris in ice cream with ... I think it was rum :oD

Purple Nerple:
(invented with friend S)
(Must be served in a martini glass for proper effect)
Mix 1 and 1/2 parts of Blue Rasperry mix with 1/2 part Cranberry mix
Add 1 shot of absolute vodka
Shake
pour into martini glass
add one drop of Cranberry - do not mix - allow it to sink to the bottom, creating the 'nipple' effect!!

And the hubby invented:

Cinnamon Heart:
1 part Cranberry mixer
1 part Goldschlager
- like drinking candy :D

Tropical Spoon sounds great!!! I'll add it to my list!

Hmmm movie thoughts tho... not sure yet.. I want to see Across the Universe. Also want to see The Mist and Sweeny Todd... not sure if they're 'available' or not, but I'll probably have a look see :oD

[youngcurmudgeon.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, those all sound really good! Especially the Zzub Zzub -- ice cream and alcohol for the win!

Across the Universe was fun, and I highly recommend Sweeney Todd. It's really well-done.

[browncoat2x2]

I've always been a Sweeny Todd fan... watched a recording of the play back in highshcool with Angela Lansbury as the Pie shop owner :oD Loved it.

And we saw the Toronto musical here earlier... and I've heard the movie is good. So, yes, must see !!!

[thebitterguy]

Which Mongolian Grill is that? Because I just love those things.

[browncoat2x2]

There's one out here in Whitby at Champlain and Thickson, in where the AMC is...

I love them too!

Wow this weekend is going to be a crazy Bday shindig, 3 of you!

Ummm and I vote stay up late... which I've been doing this week which is really bad since I have to get up super early (not super early compared to when you get up) to get to work from my housesitting job. But still, staying up late is always the answer :)

[browncoat2x2]

Justin's birthday is on the 25th, so he'd be four if we all make it out this saturday :oD

Staying up late is usually my answer too ;o) I've probably got one early morning this weekend (Saturday) so I shouldn't stay up too late Friday, but I've got tomorrow off, so I can be up as late as I want tonight, definately be up late Saturday night, up all night sunday likely, and then crash early on Monday :oD Sounds like a plan!

[elizalavelle.livejournal.com]

I think Justin mentioned he couldn't make it, so just 3 so far... we'll have to toast a drink to Justin during dinner :)

Enjoy your day off, I'll be madly jealous of you while I'm at work :S

[locker-monster.livejournal.com]

I'd stay up. It's your birthday so you should enjoy yourself. :-D

As for treating yourself, I suggest chocolate and lots of it. Oh, and cake, too, because you can't go a birthday without a cake of some sort.

[browncoat2x2]

Choclate and cake, a winning combination!!!!

So far, been staying up late and partying with friends... had a chocolate cup filed wtih baileys and caramel last night, so I'm half way ;o) Cake will be later today!
