Second weekend of October, my first date and a happy thanksgiving

Saturday, October the 10th:
I have made a reservation at Allegro restaurant at Downtown for two persons, Heather and I.
This is my first real date in ages, I tried to pretend that i wasn't stressed about it, not sure if it worked though...
I took the bus to go to downtown, and at one of the bus stops, a drunk guy jumped in the bus, and was asking not only for a free ride, but he also wanted 12 bucks so he can buy himself a dinner. He spent about 10 minutes talking to the bus driver, and finally got off the bus! He was soooo drunk! Meanwhile I received a text from Heather saying she's going to be late, but guess what, I was the late one :) !
I arrived to Allegro, it was a really nice restaurant, i wouldn't give it 5 stars since there was no super fancy decoration and whatnot, just a little nice Italian resto!
The evening was really nice, dinner was good, the wine was great, company even greater, and finally I decded to play a couple of songs on the piano they have in the corner. I met the pianist and the restaurant owner as well.
As we were having dinner, one f the waiters came to me, gave me the restaurant's business card and asked me to call them in case i was interested in playing at that restaurant as a pianist. We finally decided to go somewhere else,so we went to Salsa! I can't remember the places' name, but it was a nice place (first time to go to a bar in edmonton). I can't say i danced Salsa, i'd rather say i TRIED and somehow it wasn't successful at all ! I tried to copy people, I stepped on other people's feet... We had a couple of beers, enjoyed our time there and left. I dropped by to see Heathers' cats and her fish tanks.

Sunday 11th,
Happy thanksgiving,
Woke up around 7 AM, I didn't have much sleep tonight! I went to give Bambi her diet pill, let her out for a while and feed her. I talked to my parents and family since my cousin was getting married while i was writing on his Facebook wall CONGRATS! I studied for a while, had lots of coffee to keep myself awake when Elias called me he's coming to pick me up. We went to Georges' , it was a special dinner, i met more people and enjoyed the family spirit/gathering they have and they way they all considered me that i AM a family member and made me feel that way too, I enjoyed the vino as well.
Elias, his wife Sandy and his parents drove me back home, and it was snowing heavily! I went straight to bed as soon as i got home.
