Ontario, Quebec and Me.....
Well, just Ontario.....
last week we decided to spend the long weekend in Toronto...... when I say last week, I mean Thursday afternoon and when I say we, I mean bf..... he really wanted to get away and so the cheapest and fastest thing we could do was rent a car and drive up to Toronto.....
only to find that it pretty much looks just like Chicago....... (I think they even use Toronto as a stand in for Chicago in movies and such).
I realized something...... going to a city on your own where you know no one is not so fun..... I did enjoy it, don't get me wrong, but there's just nothing much to do when you don't know what's where..... we spent some time driving around, checking out different neighborhoods, we did the CN tower, which was fun...... we went to the bluffs, which were nice..... we looked for the Polish neighborhood, checked out some shops, and then we drove back home.....
the people there (well, anyone we came in contact with) are very nice..... it's very clean and the highways are excellent......
my uncle lives there, and some of my cousins, but I didn't call them. I haven't seen them in years (at least 10) and I felt weird just calling out of the blue......
I think we would've had more fun had we called them and had a place to stop by and people to talk to......
in other news...... I planted a tomato plant.....
I really love tomatoes and my parents used to always plant them in the yard...... now that I have a decent sized balcony, I decided to give it a try in a pot....... my little tomato plant started out about 6-7 inches tall a few weeks ago..... it is now over a foot tall and has filled out nicely..... there are currently 2 green tomatoes growing on there.....
I'm amazed that it's growing..... there's something really cool about seeing a plant get bigger and actually spawn fruit......
the same can't be said for one of my palmy living room plants...... when we returned on Monday night, I found it had halfway dried up......
