this weekend i finally got to see jamie paddle - a hobby/sport to which she has dedicated a great deal of time to over the last year-ish. i've been hearing about her adventures in canoeing for almost as long as we've been roommates, so with this weekend's race being local, and me being in town, it was the perfect opportunity to cheer her on!
from belmont beach to playa del rey, it was a double-beach day. i joined my friend and former co-worker, tania, for what is becoming a a bit of a recurring appointment. usually, it's beach time, as i'm attempting to get some color before spending a week at the lake with family (and not wanting to suffer from the long hours spent on the water there), but today i was just along for the ride. emily had been unable to attend tania's housewarming party so wanted to visit her new place, and invited me to join. we were quite the office trio before tania left us, so it was nice to get the band back together!
and what is a far more rare occurrence, was the invitation i received from melissa. she had asked if i was in town (we both travel A LOT), i told her i was, and she invited me to the orange county fair with her and some cousins. when her cousins were unable to attend, i suggested we go a bit lower key and get together for brunch. which lasted for about five hours (a pattern this week!). we made some plans to meet up on the road this fall, and started talking about a possible italy trip together in 2015. so, basically, a highly productive brunch! :D
