I have been up to so much lately since I last updated my blog on mirdonamy.com. I think I’ll be updating this one from now on, as I’d like to turn mirdonamy.com into my photography sales site.
Sadly, I can’t really remember much of what I’ve been up to as so much has been pushed into, and has fallen out of, my brain over the past few weeks. What I can remember is this:
Tuesday, Aug 14th – Mike arrived from Redding for the week. He flew in for Bats Day and to hang out with friends. That was also the night of the Trivia Bowl at the Springbok. We didn’t win, but had fun anyhow. That was Emma’s first trivia night at the Springbok.
Wednesday, Aug 15th – I picked up Brandon & Christina from LAX. They were in town for Louis’ wedding. We stayed up late chatting a bit.
Thursday, Aug 16th – John & I went to see Transformers in Glendale. It was fun. Josef came with us.
Friday, Aug 17th – I took Brandon & Christina out to the beach to take Engagement Photos of them. We roamed around El Matador, then had dinner in West Hollywood.
Saturday, Aug 18th – Went down to Anaheim for lunch with dad, then to the Black Market. Met up with Josef, Mike, Lacey & other friends. After, John & I had dinner with Lyse, David & Tuffy at the Pink Pepper.
Sunday, Aug 19th – Woke up early, Mike, John, Lacey & I drove down to Anaheim for Bats Day! It was so much fun! Pix are up here! We spent the entire day in Disneyland with friends and other Batties!
I can’t remember Monday.
Tuesday, Aug 21st – Went to the Smoke House for my sister’s dinner party for her 26th birthday. Lots of familiar faces. It was fun!
Friday, Aug 24th – Drove to Yosemite, set up camp near Dave, Michele, Kevin & Ashley’s tent. Late that night, a bear came by to rummage through a nearby tent’s left-out food. What idiots! It was very entertaining and somewhat scary. I didn’t get to see the bear though, sadly. Less than an hour later, the idiots were attacked again because they left the dog food in the back of their pick-up. One guy came very close to being swiped by the bear who reached into the cab of the truck where he was sleeping. Ah, Darwin!
Saturday, Aug 25th – We all rode up to Glacier Point and hiked down the Valley Floor. What a hike! It was 8.5 miles (all the way back to the campground), and it was harsh! My legs were in pain for days. The views were great, but it was way too hot out. After the hike, John, Ashley & I went to get showers. We met everyone back at the campsite and grilled dinner. I had portabello mushroom sandwiches. We later made smores – yum! Once again, a bear came by. This time, I didn’t even wake up! It didn’t find anything, so it left shortly after people started making noise.
Sunday, Aug 26th – We had breakfast, packed up and went our separate ways. John & I wandered around the Visitors Center and saw the Yosemite film, then we drove out of the park, stopping along the way for photos. I still have yet to see a bear. Our drive home wasn’t too bad. We were happy to see the kitties and settle in for the night.
Monday, Aug 27th – I headed straight home after work to meet up with John. We got ready and left for dinner in Montrose. It was our 1st Anniversary! We had dinner and dessert on the terrace of a little Italian place. The food was meh, but the dessert was great! After dinner, we returned home, watched Lay3rC4ke and relaxed. My body was so sore!
Tuesday, Aug 28th – We won 2nd place in Bar Trivia! Yay!
I can’t remember Wednesday.
Thursday, Aug 30th – Met up with Pamela (Photographer friend) and hung out with her at Humphrey Yogart, strategizing about wedding photography.
Friday, Aug 31st – Heading to Six Flags after work with John! Yay for roller coasters!!!
