After a rough work week, all I wanted this weekend was just to relax and not be bothered about anything. I do have to say it was accomplished!

Friday night I managed to leave work on time and Russ and I headed out for dinner to and met up a couple of friends at The Majestic Lounge on Davie Street for a Drag Show. Now I have paid to see one before, but since we were also having dinner there, I was alittle disappointed that we had to pay $5 to get in, just to eat and drink there. At any rate the show was fantastic and I laughed historically at Simone and guest. Simone’s Symone’s opening number included running outside the restaurant and into running traffic all the while performing her number. The look of people on the street seeing this 6 foot drag queen running at them. Her closing number included her roller blading around the restaurant…priceless. One of her guest was a burlesque performer and she actually stripped down only to reveal her pasties. I ended up having 3 Killer Koolaides and Russ had 5 Lemon Martinis and was feeling no pain.

Saturday we both pretty much had to recover from our night out and just vegged for most of the day. Of course I got to take Junior out for his walks and he had his fun as well. Not to mention having some more cupcakes from Cupcakes. YUM. We later watched the movie “There Will Be Blood“. I am still trying to understand the full meaning of that movie. Was Elijah actually Paul with a split personality or was he a twin? Oh well I guess I will never know.

Sunday with the day being so nice we headed to Steveston to enjoy the weather. This is a nice bedroom community with lots of fish and chip shops everywhere. Though I have to admit the fish and chips are more expensive than downtown. We walked around enjoying the First Annual Steveston Farmers and Artisian Market and boardwalk.

Over fifty vendors will come together in the charming waterfront community of Steveston, B.C. for the first annual outdoor Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market. Offering fresh local produce, healthy foods, flowers, plants, and unique works by local artisans, the Market opens weekly on Sundays from 11am- 4pm from May 4 - September 28, 2008. Located in the parking lot of the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site*, the Market promises to be a lively and memorable home grown event.

I of course didn’t wear any sunscreen so my face is nice and red and I look like a raccoon. Ahhh the joys. I hope I won’t look too bad come Monday morning.

My weekend of just relaxing was accomplished! Now bring on next weekend!
