February 23
As I diligently finish off some work in the early hours of the morning, I'm hit with, and suddenly it all makes sense. And is about time as well.
The last few days have been really relaxing. I've been getting a good feel for Houston, Enjoying more great meals, and even the increasing temperature.
Last night before one of my friends told me he was going to be in Cancun for a week in Early March, and that his trip plans got messed up, and wanted me to meet him. A week in Cancun really isn't my thing, but because he was counting on me...
First thing when I got up this morning I went online and started making plans and looking into flights/hotels,etc. Al must have come home about 2-3 times, and I was still sitting there with an empty stomach, trying to figure out which flight to book. I'm not sure if Al could see that I was frustrated, or just that he wanted to go out, but he hopped on some travel sites, and 10mins later I had the best fare I'd seen, and my ticket booked.
I'll be travelling March 4-11 in Cancun, which means that I've changed me return ticket to Canada until the 16th. If your my mom and this is how you're finding out, sorry; You could have answered those texts. Which means that I'll be in Houston to see Sheryl Crow before Cancun, and back in time to see Hillary Duff at the Houston Rodeo. Don't be too gelous, you can always surf on over to hilaryduff.com, and get involved in some of the excitement. You can even great deals on Duff Stuff while you're there.

I've been ricied before, but wasting 2 hours of the day, when I got the date wrong for the meeting with the realtor was high on the list. Aaron Robson, who is attending Rice, was racing in a conference 5k today. The race was at the University of Houston, which has a very nice and interesting campus. We watched the women's 5k before Aaron's, and then stayed to watch the Men's and Women's 800m' semi-finals. Aaron ran a nice evenly paced race, and was in good position with two laps to go. Unfortunately he recieved the wrong information from an official, and started his finishing kick, thinking he only had a lap to go. His last lap was blazing, and would have made any canadian proud, except for the fact that he missed out on a lap of the race. Obviously gutted after the race, knowing that it was both his mistake and that of the officials. I would have given him less slack had it been at 800m's, but 5km indoors is 25 laps, so to miss out on one. That's not so bad?
The men's and women's 8's were as expected. UTEP dominated the rounds, and to my surprise, I overheard the announcer say, and "Nagazina making a move on the back stretch". That sounds an awful lot like Dawn Nagazina from close to home, who is going to school in TULSA. Just like Aaron I tried to make conversation with her afterwards, but she couldn't be stuffed either. Pegs not say hi next time.

Despite how excited I was to see Sheryl Crow in Houston, apparently I'm not going to. Breast Cancer has had a hold of her, and she just underwent surgery a few days ago. Melissa Etheridge is going to be filling her shoes at the concert. She's no Sheryl Crow, but it is Cancer Ryan, so; not so bad. As if Sheryl cancelling on me wasn't enough; 2 days in a row now for my Spanish lessons. That Monkey. Sorry, Not you Jackson.
Other Apointments.
Two days in a row would have been a bit much, so I called the appointment right with the realtor. In Fact it was bawling. The desicion has already been made. We went around to a few different places. I even cashed in on some of the real estate lingo.
After the showings Al and I stopped for lunch at a soup & salad buffet. Not a bad feed. The afternoon involved lounging, and then there was dinner at "Thai Sticks". I'm in mind those dishes that I had were just prep for meeting up with Josh in Cancun. 6 Days now. Excitement, and then; The End. |
