It's been a long time since I wrote to my friend 'Sarah' in England. She was a good friend of mine, whom I met while living in Australia over 5 years ago. She and I have kept in touch by email over the years, usually not letting more than 4 or 5 months go by in between correspondence (which is too long I know, but time flies!).
So, I wrote her an email telling her all the latest happenings here in the life of an American-almost-thirty-something girl. I wasn't even going to get my hopes up for a quick reply, but she sent me a message right away to tell me how glad she was to get an email and she'll respond with a long reply soon. It made me smile just to know she read my mail :)

Phone Call
Sunday, June 27th 2010
I've been missing my family lately. I haven't seen or talked to my grandparents in over a month now! Life has become so busy lately that I find myself missing out on the things that matter most. This probably means it's time to make some adjustments to my schedule so I can spend more time with those most important to me.
So I called my grandma and grandpa this afternoon and had a nice visit with both of them. I was surprised to catch them at home because they are ususally out and about running errands, going for drives in the countryside, cheering my cousin on at his baseball games, and all that sort of stuff.
It was so lovely to hear their voices and I think I'll see what I can do about going to visit them next weekend. It's only a little over an hour drive to their house, but I like to make a whole day out of it, so let's see if we can plan it!

Kitchen Utensils
Saturday, June 26th 2010
Tonight we attended a wedding for a friend of D's. It was a fabulous mostly-outdoor celebration with a view of the river, pink flowers everywhere, along with joyous love and laughter all around. Everyone looked stunning in their dresses, suits and tuxedos. We ate, drank, chatted with old college friends, and danced the night away.
We gave the bride and groom a not-so-creative kitchen utensil gift which was listed on their registry. It's ok though, because that's what they wanted! Congratulations to them and thanks for allowing us to share your special day with you.

Pizza & Wine
Friday, June 25th 2010
Tonight we had D's father and his father's girlfriend over for pizza. It was their first time visiting us at our house, so I wanted to be sure the place looked nice and we had everything they'd want to eat & drink. I found out his dad likes diet cola, so I picked up both diet Coke and diet Pepsi just in case. People seem to like one or the other, right? And his girlfriend likes Chardonnay, so I bought 2 bottles- 1 nice, and 1 on the cheaper side for myself.
We had appetizers set out when they arrived and before I knew it, D was pouring the cheap wine for everyone! It wasn't a big deal, but next time around I made sure to give her the good stuff :)
We had a great time visiting and sharing common interests. The pizza was great and the laughter plentiful. We hope to have them over again soon.

Donuts
Thursday, June 24th 2010
It was one of the manager's birthday today and we had plans to bring in lunch, but I thought it would be fun to have a little sweet treat too. So I stopped by my new favorite donut shop (which happens to be located 1 block from my house, how convenient :) on the way to work and picked up a pink box full of donut holes.
I think everyone liked them (I know I did) because they were gone by the afternoon. That may seem late, but if you saw the cookies still sitting there after a couple weeks (which happens all the time), you'd understand that the donuts went fast. It's fun when $4 is enough to treat a big group of wonderful coworkers.

Train Tickets & Cotton Candy
Wednesday, June 22nd 2010
I won tickets today to a baseball game! And the ballpark happens to be across the street from my house too, how convenient is that? Along with the 2 tickets came 2 train tickets which I wouldn't need since, like I said, I live right across the street.
So, I walked over to the train stop to try to give the passes away. I asked 4 different people if they needed train tickets, but everyone shook their head and said "no" like I was almost bothering them.
I can put them on top of the ticket machine. No, they'll blow away and end up face down on the street somewhere. I can set them inside the dispenser, but what if no one sees them? I wish I had some tape to post them up on the machine.
All these thoughts went through my head. Then I realized D was standing nearby waiting to enter the stadium- whoops! I better get going. So, I set them in the machine and could only hope someone found them before buying tickets.
Our friend J was at the game too and the 3 of us sat together eating snacks all night that his friend gave him. The game was a blast and on our way out we gave a young kid our leftover cotton candy (he had a big smile on his face :)). It's fun to keep passing things around, one person giving to another and another!
