Epiphanies

Scouting – camping at Prado dam regional park. Severe wind advisory and the wind is making the whole place smell of cow dung and dusty as hell. Don’t know if I’ll last. I’m so not the camping type.

Soccer party at lamppost as usual. Had a conflict though. Had j’s parent teacher conference at same time. We managed to get back in time. Shelly was really cool – she arranged the party and also got me Starbucks gift card for the photos I took during the season for the team. How cool is she!!!

Started watching/marathoning kdrama my lovely samsoon. Cute romance about this average patisserie who did contract dating in order to save her family’s home and ends up falling for her boss.

We meant to check out R.E.I. but their website said they were moving to Tustin. I’m thinking low inventory – no sense in going. We went to Sports Chalet instead. Didn’t really see anything there. We picked up a sleeping bag at Big Five which they gave to us on discount because we told them we got the same exact sleeping bag a month before on sale. How cool were they? They told us it was too long ago but somehow, they still gave us that sale price. Will wonders never cease?

B had to take a swimming and rescue test for Boy scouts before going camping so they went to the Northwood pool. I told C he had to do some laps because we were going to miss a lot of swim practices because of camping and his meet is on Sunday. Hope it’s enough.

Strained my back today so Al had to do a lil more chauffering. Playoff at 12, another at 1 at a totally different location so lots of back and forth for him. First playoff had some mercy thing which I’ve never heard of. They still have another one on Wed so maybe they have a chance to come back. Second one, the kids really rocked it but we lost 2 in the last quarter so in U8 no more comeback but it was a good season. The kids had fun.

We went to eat buffalo wings and then went to meet Tiffany and co for some tidepool action at Laguna Beach. Very cool of her to let us tag along. They also had a pot luck thing which we had no idea about and so of course we were gonna skip but she insisted we stay. She’s sooo nice. Hot dogs, meatballs and brownies – how can you go wrong?
