if i had a penny for every time today someone has asked me “why on earth did you come to houston for spring break??”… yeah. i’d be rich.
anyway, exotic destination it isn’t, but i’m having a nice time so far in texas. i flew in saturday evening, and was quite happy to have found two nice ticket people in dallas who switched my ticket so that i could fly into hobby airport instead of all the way across town at intercontinental, meaning becca didn’t have to drive nearly as far to pick me up. that night we had dinner with ron, i met her adorable puppy named apache (she is quite cute, though she is still very into the whole chewing-on-things stage), and then hung out at ron’s apartment with chris and ethan.
yesterday we went to astroworld, which was a lot of fun since the weather wasn’t too hot and the lines were short. if astroworld were always that pleasant, i might actually go more. but in july, i can’t stand the lines and the heat. last night we came home, becca cooked a yummy dinner, and we drank wine while watching the oscars. poor becca has completely forgotten how to live like a college student, as she had to go to bed before the big awards were given out because she was so tired. i, on the other hand, had a fun time watching halle barry’s incredulous reaction, denzel washington’s graceful speech (i think he is just a great, great actor), and though i was hoping lord of the rings would win just because i liked the movie, i wasn’t surprised that a beautiful mind took the prize. it was a fantastic movie as well.
anyway. this morning i took becca to work, then came home and slept some more. 😉 ahhhh….. now i’m sitting at becca’s desk, formerly my desk, waiting for the bosses to get back from afternoon meetings so i can go talk to them.
carter might come do the california baseball tour next week. yay! hmm. this is me not getting my hopes up. not getting my hopes up. not getting my hopes up…
nick called to say he has not starved due to lack of food. oh, and that he misses me. aw. it is pathetic, but i miss him too, after only two days of being gone. and we’re not even dating. {sigh} weirdos.
away i go.
