i’m sleepy. we just got back from coke break, where we took a long stroll around the pond and oohed and aahed over the ducklings and baby turtles. they were so cute.
yesterday was fantastic. i woke up late, and was planning only a quiet day of relaxing and cleaning my apartment when chris called and suggested we go to the baseball game. i almost didn’t go, but he convinced me on the basis of three things: 1) it was the last game before the astros left on a two-week road trip, 2) it was a gorgeous day, and 3) it wasn’t extremely hot, so the roof would probably be open. i couldn’t pass that up, so i said i’d go as long as we could sit in the sun.
we got tickets in the crawford boxes in left field and settled in. after an inning, i realized that my sitting-in-the-sun stipulation was good in theory, but would be really bad in practice unless i found some sunscreen, and fast. luckily the clubhouse store sold tubes of “ballpark tan spf 30,” so things were all good after i slathered that on. the seats were great, and it was a high-scoring game–four home runs landed within twenty feet of our seats. the astros lost, but it was too sunny and beautiful for me to care.
i came home in time to go ahead and clean my apartment, then went over to becca’s to help her walk the four dogs and have dinner with her and kennda (pad thai, mmm). walking the dogs was quite amusing, especially when we let them off the leashes in the park, and roxy thought that the swings were attacking us. every time becca or i started swinging, roxy started jumping on us. finally, as becca got out of the swing roxy jumped at just the right time and ended up with two legs on one side of the swing seat, and two legs on the other side, looking very confused. it was really funny.
it’s too pretty to be at work this afternoon. i’m going home.
