Say YES!!

I'm not normally a do-er or a joiner. I'm lazy. I'm a home-body.
But then I get bored at home, and wish that I accepted that invitation to go out.
So Friday was epicness. And I worked all afternoon Saturday. But Irish had been bugging me alllll week to make my entire weekend epic, and go out with her Saturday night.
I refused.
She relented.
I got home from work. I felt restless. And sad that the semester was all-of-a-sudden complete.
I also felt on the verge of tears. Maybe it was exhaustion. Maybe it was relief. I love journalism, I adore school, I'm sexually attracted to all the people that litter my day. And now, my only reason to put on pants is work? Soul-crushing karma-killing work?
Something had to be done.
That's when I decided: I shall say YES! to everything this summer.
And where did that take me? Well, a delightful day with the Donnelly-clan.
I met her entire family: mom, dad, brother and 3 sisters. Predrank at her little brother's birthday kegger, complete with highschoolers. Went to a club in a strip plaza in Ajax for her sister's personal trainer's birthday. Chatted up the cabbie. Ate chicken wings and cake with the stragglers post-kegger. Slept in Aileen's chamber of horrors. Woke up to a breakfast feast fit for Wedding Crashers. Went to her little sister's Irish dancing recital in Etobicoke.
Such delightful randomness. To which old-veronica would never have agreed to. But summer-veronica, that chick is different!
A few of my favourite things:
boozing,
shenanigans,
summer,
vacay,
YES
