one

Filed Under life in LA | 2 Comments

This past weekend, the boy and I went to [URL=http://www.sixflags.com/magicMountain/index.aspx]Magic Mountain[/url] to celebrate one full year of our dating…

It was rad. And thrilling. And relaxing. And silly. And playful. And wonderful.

We decided to get tickets for Saturday ahead of time because you get a web discount. Yeehaw!

And we also got Flash Passes which enable you to jump to the head of the line on 4 rides of your choice. Totally worth the extra bit of cash!

rollercoasterThe best ride was the newest, called Tatsu, where you sit down, buckle in, and then they pull you up so that you’re riding face first around the track; belly, head & feet exposed. I love thrill rides and always find them more fun than scary ~ but this one was thrillingly scary. I think I spent half the ride muttering, “Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh”. I wish we could’ve done it over and over. (But the line w/o Flash pass was 3 hours!) After our ride on Tatsu, we looked at the photo they took and it was so priceless, we had to buy it! I will try to scan in it and post it here. It’s hilarious, and quite the unique anniversary photo…

We agreed after spending 8 hours in the park, that we were that best kind of tired, like the tired you are after fabulous vacation. It was a happy anniversary!

going on 50

Filed Under goings on | Comments Off

So, here I am at home after a very long day (12.5 hours in all) and after tomorrow I will have worked 50 hours this week. And no day off in 12 days ’cause last weekend I flew to Dallas to teach a workshop. Whew! Not only am I approaching 50 hours of work, but I feel like I’m approaching 50 years old, I’m so beat.

And now, the weekend is approaching. I should jumping with joy. But I am filled with guilt because I can’t make it up North to see my Dad on Father’s Day or my Mom on her birthday.

It’s not that I don’t want to go, it’s that I can’t.

And now you’re probably mad.

I could pull out my ammo, take aim and fire away, but instead I’m going to take a deep breath and tell you that I love you and will miss you very much and will celebrate with everyone in spirit, absolutely.

i’m so sorry…

If you are waiting for a thank you note, a return phone call or e-mail, a visit from me to your blog or other indication that I am not rude or inconsiderate, I really am sorry.

I got a little promotion at work (good!), but unfortunately they haven’t replaced me in my old job (bad).

Yes. You’re right. This results in my having 2 full-time jobs at the moment.

hectic

I promise I will return to my normal communicative, thoughtful thank-you-note-writing self when I emerge from under the load of work on my desk.

In the meantime, remember that I love you and miss you.

too much, perhaps.

tired

You know you spend a little too much time at work when you try to open your apartment door with your office key. Twice.

I’m tired. That is all.
