Browse Month: June 2005

Happy 30th, Patty!!

This Saturday was Patty’s 30th Birthday! Johnny planned a little BBQ with all the fixings and we had a nice time eating, drinking, and catching up with old friends. Holly drove down with us, Patti and Howard were there sans Katie, and Joanne Tan was also there. We also saw some unexpected people. Sheree Shen was there with her husband and she’s expecting a baby soon…4 more months, I think. I hadn’t seen her since high school! I also met two of Patty’s friends who actually live down the street from me. That was kinda funny.
Their backyard is still under construction but the fire pit was done and was very cool. Mochi and Koa had a gay ol’ time chasing each other and jumping around the obstacles. They also went hunting for left overs on the floor, which made Koa throw up a ball of crap on the way home. That was not so cool.

TGIF

I’m so tired. This month has been stupid busy and it’s only June 3rd. With the end of the school year approaching, I have a million parent conferences and reports to write. I’m so happy that it’s Friday and the workday is almost over.
Plans for the weekend: 1) I have 8 miles to run. 2) I’m going to Patty’s house to celebrate her 30th birthday. Gosh, one by one, they’re turning 30. Pretty soon it’ll be my turn. I think it’ll be fine. I’m healthy, still running, no major life issues, decent job, and I’m feeling young enough to play with kids. Can’t complain…yet.

Monterey – Day 3

On Monday, Day Three, we got up early and went for a 3-mile run along the water. It was such a nice day…it was sunny, a little breezy, and there was so much to see! Afterwards, we packed up, had another free breakfast, and drove to Pacific Grove to check out the coast (see photo on left). I had an interesting time trying to take scenic photos over there. It took forever to get a decent shot due to the many joggers/walkers along the path and the huge tour bus loaded with people with their own picture-taking agendas. Luckily we found a quiet spot where buses weren’t allowed down the street.
The drive home was OK. We decided to take the scenic route down the 101 this time. The ride was smooth all the way down until we got to Santa Barbara…stupid accidents. Once we got out of that fiasco, we stopped at the outlets for a bit of shopping and finally got to Cerritos to pick up the dog by 8. *sigh* It’s back to work on Tuesday.
