Finally, the cold air is starting to take over. I love cold weather! I really shouldn't take living in California for granted, but sometimes I feel like I do -- not having to worry about plowing snow or driving on icy roads. Anyway, I hope I can go back to the snow this year, even for just a weekend getaway. :)
Work has been consuming lately although not completely. I'm having fun, yet at the same time I feel like the stress is ready to consume my head. I don't want to let that happen, but I feel like I don't even have control of my time anymore. *sigh* I just have to work through it because I do like my job.
Two weekends ago, Mike and I celebrated our fourth year anniversary - where else? - at Disneyland. It was a brief getaway, but it was fun! We found a cheap deal at a nearby hotel, took advantage of the free shuttles to and from the park, and stayed within budget the entire time! :) On our way back home, we stopped by one of our favorite So. Cal ramen house for a quick but delicious dinner, and visited my cousin who is visiting from the Philippines! :) I finally met her husband and adorable daughter. Her call came at the perfect time because the ramen house was only fifteen minutes away (of course with LA traffic, it became a half hour). We stayed a while, did some catching up, and all that good stuff. I didn't expect to see them because they were in Las Vegas the days prior and were supposed to be flying in Pacquiao's chartered flight to Texas that day. However, with her almost-two-year-old daughter, they didn't want to be in Texas that early in the week. It was so nice to see her though, so I'm glad they didn't fly out with Team Pacquiao. LOL!
Speaking of the name, there was a friends and family gathering for no special occassion other than a Manny Pacquiao fight - that time against Antonio Margarito. Yes, Pacquiao got the unanimous W. Yes, he now has won titles in eight weight divisions. Yes, he's a great boxer. Yes, Mayweather is still running scared. HA! :)
Anyway, I must catch some sleep. This post is probably mumble-jumbled all over the place, but I just wanted to put in a quickie. After tomorrow, I will have the next two weekends off... then Anaheim again for two days. Excited? Yes! Especially because I just renewed my Disneyland Annual Pass. Yippeee!
