Homemade pizza with kale, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, kalamata olives, garlic, & onion. I watched The Green Mile for the first time. Great movie, better book.

I stayed home from work with an awful headache, but in the afternoon I felt better so Jeff and I went down to Liberty to get my taxes done. It's a huge relief and since I was several years behind I should be getting a decent return. Later I watched the game with Steph and then I tried to take a photo of myself laughing because Hayley said my self-portraits don't often capture the 'Jen charm' that comes across in person. I dunno if it does in this one, but I had a good time taking it because I was making myself laugh by looking at this photo.

Went back to yoga, finally.

After an irritating day, I came home and made some amazing enchiladas with chicken, black beans, & kale. Also my package from BodyArtForms arrived in the mail, and it included the lovely carved wood plugs in the photo above.

Steph and I hung out in the yard most of the day and Liang came by in the late afternoon to drink beer and have her photo taken. It was a little rushed because I was concerned about the neighbours coming home and seeing a topless girl in the backyard, but I got a couple of decent shots (which can be viewed here).
In the evening Sarah had her family over for Easter dinner and we all ate vegan shepherd's pie and kale/beet/goat cheese salad out in the backyard. Afterwards GAME OF THRONES and then being sad about the glorious long weekend being over.

Kenny at Nuba, where we had dinner for Mom & Maddie's birthday. Some of Maddie's friends came, and so did Jeff, and Alice was in town for a few days so she and Josh were there as well. We had a blast and ate so much and laughed so much and drew a stupid drawing and pretended it was warmer outside than it was. Also ran into Kaylie, whom I hadn't seen in awhile, on her break at work.

Jeff and I both had the day off and we tried to go hiking on the Baden-Powell Trail in Deep Cove, but it was the parking apocalypse so we went for pizza and then drove over to Lynn Canyon. I'd never been there before and it was really nice. It has a suspension bridge and although it's a lot smaller than the Capilano one (obviously), it's a) free and b) has kind of a prettier view.

It was really nice out and the start of a long weekend, so we cooked dinner on the barbecue. Jeff and I were busy in the kitchen and I asked George to bring in the pyrex dish of roast potatoes from the grill. When he asked me where to put it, I told him the table. We've put hot things down on our glass table hundreds of times — part of the joy of a glass table is hot things can't burn it. But I guess the barbecue gets a lot hotter than the stove or oven, because about five minutes later we heard a huge CRACK as the tabletop split in half.
In the Canucks game they scored two empty net goals, which was pretty weird because the Leafs had scored double empty net goals earlier in the evening — don't teams usually put their goalie back in after the first one?!

Steph took me, Tamara, and Valerie to see Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band because she rules, so beforehand we had dinner at Calabash and drinks at Bitter. At the arena it was mostly people my parents' age and someone actually thought we were 17. Still, it was a pretty great show. He played all the songs I wanted to hear most and a few I'd forgotten about. Joe Walsh opened and although his guitar work was still incredible, when he talked he sounded like he'd had a stroke or something... And I have to admit, although I knew Bob was a fairly old man I guess I hadn't seen any current photos of him, so I was picturing him with his long flowing brown mane of hair and big biker moustache — but he actually looked more like a thin George Lucas.
Going to Rogers Arena made me kind of sad that I was not there to watch hockey. We admired the shrine to the players whose jerseys have been retired, and particularly enjoyed this magazine cover featuring a very gay image of a young Trevor Linden with Dave Babych.
