Costco (for those that don't know), is a giant wholesale store where you can buy bulk items for cheap. It's like Walmart, except instead of buying a regular sized item for $3 or so, you can buy an over-sized version of that same item for close to the same price. Anyways, let me tell you. It was a crazy madhouse. But we wanted to be done and over with, so we went through it all. Apparently, when my mom goes to Costco she likes to go down EVERY isle. EVERY single one. So... that was fun. We saw the lovely Costco pumpkin pies, which made for a funny dinner conversation, bringing up the whole "Man-punches-another-man-over-last-Costco-Pumpkin-Pie" fiasco. I mean, seriously. Go to Safeway. They are like.... $2.99. They are not even the best ones people.
Anyways, after that we went to Dinner #1. Which went something like this:
My family showing up and realizing that my cousins are up from Lethbridge (Yes they live in the same city as me. No, we do not hang out often.) After some lovely chatting, dinner was served. And it was....Filling. We had soooo much food, but it was soo yummy. I probably gained 5 pounds from that dinner alone. After dinner we did the dishes. And I should let you know, that I am the one in my family to usually wash dishes, because for some reason I have issues when people hand wash my personal dishes, because I feel like they actually can't do it right. But, that night my Aunt C. started the dishes.
Let me just say, that image above is what my face actually looked like. But, whatever, I decided I would just dry. It's the nice thing to do. Well. Besides my Aunt trying to throw my grandmothers silverware down the garberator, she does not know how to wash shit. The look on my grandpa's face though was PRICELESS. It was even better when he was mumbling about how ridiculous my Aunt was, and how she needs to learn to check the sink, etc., all while I am laughing hysterically in the back ground. Then my grandpa and I just stood around laughing while I was trying to "dry" the turkey pot. I will just say, that I was trying to be polite and not have her RE-wash the dish, even though I would have. No. Let me say that again. I wouldn't have to rewash the turkey pot because I am actually able to wash things properly. After that, my grandma realized that C. couldn't wash things properly after it took me so long to dry and after watching me drag my cloth back and forth on certain areas and come off with filth.
Continuing, after that we had PUMPKIN PIE! with WHIP CREAM which is lovely. It's wayyyy better then the Pumpkin Spice Lattes at starbucks. Yummm. Then we started telling old stories of how I would run away as a child and stuff.
Next.
I decided that I needed to do SOME studying over the long weekend. Because there was no way that I was going to be able to catch up if I didn't. So I went to starbucks and studied for an hour before meeting up with my BFF Lulu. There she gave me these awesome mugs to add to my suddenly large mug collection:
I am a huge Beatle fan, if you couldn't already tell. The mugs say: (1) I get by with a little help from my friends, (2) Let it be, (3) All you need is love, (4) It's been a hard day's night. And I've been working like a dog.
Then I suggested that we go shopping (I didn't end up buying anything, but Lulu spent a small fortune). After that she introduced me to her new boyfriend Jordan. And he seems nice. I didn't really get a chance to interrog--talk to him *cough cough*. But one of these days I will. But seriously, they seem happy, so if they are happy then I am happy.
After that, I was getting sentimental (due to what mall we went to) and decided I wanted to go back down memory lane to high school and get some good lunch time memories. So at 3:30pm we decided to get BUBBLE TEA! And we both had another Thanksgiving dinner to go to. To explain what a bubble tea is, it is like a fruit smoothie with tapioca beads in the bottom, but I don't like the tapioca beads so I get the Jelly. I got a Peach smoothie with Lychee jelly(red straw) and Lulu got a Mango smoothie with half-tapioca and half-lychee jelly (purple straw):
I got my mom to try a sip when I got home, and didn't tell her about the jelly in the bottom. Haha, she freaked out just a little bit. It was entertaining.
Dinner #2. At my Aunt and Uncles house, with a bonus of my cousin not being in the country. Instead of a full turkey, they made a turkey roll. Yes. I had no idea what that was either. It's pretty much like turkey wrapped around some stuffing, and cooked. The stuffing was horrendous, but the turkey was good. My grandma (different set now) made a HUGE ham, which I was going to take some home, but I forgot. She also made me a bag of "her" cookies, which I ate all of except for 4. She gave me a dozen....Two days ago. =D Overall, it was pretty uneventful, until my Aunt Lynns brother came over. Let me tell you. I thought my family was weird, and then I met them and thank the Lord. After that my sister and I left to see Hotel Transylvania which was actually quite cute. I would watch it again. Then I made my mom stay up till 1 in the morning. She usually goes to bed at 9pm. I laughed in the morning.
And so that was my weekend. Pretty busy, but also pretty relaxing. Hopefully everyone in Canada had a relaxing long weekend, or if you aren't in Canada, just a relaxing normal weekend. Till I blog again!
