nonstop action

this week has been completely full of surprises! dylan and kelly decided a few days ago that they were going to drive up from portland to hang out with me while i'm in seattle. how cool is that!? i haven't seen them since last summer, so even though it will be short, i think it's rad that they are willing to make the three hour drive so we can play. between that, hanging out with jesse and his fam for a bit, seeing my old friend leah, and possibly being set up on a blind date, this should be a really fun/interesting trip!

the week's second big surprise came on tuesday when i got a call from deb saying that she had just landed in la and could i come meet her for dinner. i knew she was going to be in town, but since she was here for less than 24 hours, i didn't think i'd have a chance to see her, and definitely not on tuesday. i immediately got in my car and headed to the city of angels, where we spent a couple of hours hanging out at the hotel, with a quick break for a milkshake indulgence at johnny rockets. so much for dinner! ;)

yesterday morning i got a text from my friend alison saying she had gotten angels tickets for that night, and was i in. um, of course! alison recently spent a couple of weeks in the philippines and between my travel and hers, it's been awhile (too long) since i've seen her. i raced home after work for a quick change, and while checking the mail, i came across an envelope from the animal rescue organization. in it was the cut out clipping of this article, with a note saying she thought i would get a kick out of it. i did, and it was so sweet of her to send it. had i known i was going to be 'published' i might have attempted a bit more eloquence!

then it was off to the game to meet ali. her folks have season tickets so it's always the same, pretty decent, seats. i've been fortunate enough to have been to a lot of angels games, and if memory serves, i've not paid for one of them! i love going when the company is good because really, baseball games are all about the company. we had a lot of catching up to do, but there were a couple of really great game moments to be enjoyed as well.


i expect the next couple of days to be quiet, but this week has been nothing if not unexpected.
