this is just a teaser. I’m pretty sure I’ll write the actual long version of this, it’ll become a massive hit and I’ll be the official advertiser of all cheese imported from France forever. truth.

so yeah, I randomly came up with that awesome cheese song. exciting. I think there should be a companion song about pickles. and saurkraut.

so far this weekend we’ve managed to be both lazy and productive. as any good weekend should be.

on saturday we hit the road down to Calgary to bask in the awesome long weekend traffic. also to get suits picked out of The Groomsmen of Might and set up a registry at williams-sonoma. because we can.

how awesome are we going to look? pretty awesome. light grey, three piece suits, jackets optional as it’s Fairmont in August so it’ll be hot out probably. the guys are rocking light blue ties and pocket squares. I’m singling myself out with an ivory bow tie and square. we’re all getting suspenders for that added just plain retro awesome look.

shit, I need to find that pair of Top Gun Raybans I have… those would look fucking fantastic with this outfit. then I could ask that everyone call me Maverick all day. and if we find any Russians at the hot springs, I could chase them down yelling “YOU KILLED GOOSE, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!”

then we had the lovely experience of the Chinook Center parking lot on a long weekend, however, since I received the best parking lot training EVER from my dad, I found us a spot super easy and parked super easy and got us back out of there super easy. same thing for when we made a stop over at Cross Iron so Aimée could go to Bass Pro for the first time ever. and I most decidedly did NOT turn into my dad while explaining how to park in a busy parking lot. at all.

thus we walked into Williams-Sonoma and I DIDN’T spend the entire time staring at the cutlery. just some of it. because it’s awesome. and if I could, I’d put in an entire glass walled cabinet in our house just to hold all of them. those knives are like crack. not that I’ve ever done crack, so I’m kind of making that assumption, but once you buy one, you’re hooked. forever. no more will the rainbow coloured kitchen knife set from Costco work. you regard those with the disdain you hear in a drunk Russian’s voice when he speaks about something disdainful. and when you hold one, and start chopping or slicing, you have to restrain yourself from yelling at the items on the cutting board that they have met their match at the hands of the goddamn KITCHEN FUCKING NINJA! and then you wave your hands around karate style.

so then that was done and we briefly wandered through Chinook, and then made a break for it and went to Bass Pro where there were many, many things I spotted that I would like, but we’re not doing a registry there, so I must be patient. BUT! I’m pretty sure it’s Aimée’s new favourite store and we’ll be going there all the time now. so there’s that.

and then we drove home and were lazy again.

and then yesterday we were lazy and went to costco. and, as with any good trip to costco, I beelined it for every sample because that’s what you’re supposed to do there.

and then we were lazy again until we realized we should probably do so music selections for the DJ we’re lining up and send those off. so we did. and they’re awesome.

oh, and I watched Top Gear. and it was the best thing… In the world.
