Hmmmmm

That's me trying to think of something to blog about. Yep, you heard it here first, we are officially BORING! Ok so let me give you the update. Me--well I work. Yep, I think that's about it. Ok, so I am trying to get in a little more running again finally, and though violin has slipped horribly down on the priority scale, I'm still trying I guess. Oh, and I think I'm entering the third month or so in my saga of trying to reorganize my file cabinet. My shredder can only take so much you know. We both get overheated very quickly. Enough about me. As for Ian, he is doing pretty darn good. He is up about 25 pounds or so from his lowest point and making progress. He's working again and eating real food which is certainly a plus! All in all I'd say life is about normal, well normal for us anyway. How uninteresting is that!

So I will say a little about this weekend. Some of you may know about the U.S. Open? That big golf tournament right? Yeah, I know nothing about golf, but anyway, the Open is happening just down the road from us. Everyone is all abuzz about it. We went out to dinner on Friday and saw all these people in their cool golf hats that had obviously just come off the golf course. They were all in town just for the big event. When we were leaving the restaurant there was a large group of them out front visiting. As we passed them I got the strongest urge to yell:

"I live here! I live here! Hah, hah! You all have to fly here to visit Torrey Pines, but I can go whenever I want to. I'm not a tourist, I live here!"

(We live in an apartment next to the building with the green roof.)

Rest assured that I did not actually make this announcement out loud, but I do have to say that I am incredibly fortunate to live in a place that so many people like to visit. Yeah, it can be crowded and the houses are built entirely too close together, but you can't beat the weather and the ocean, well, it's the ocean! We are truly very lucky. So come visit family! We live in San Diego!

You really are lucky to live in such a tourist destination! I'm glad that life is boring right now because it means that people are healthy and there is room for projects--shredding sounds like fun :)
Is Jess really coming? Have fun and post all about it!!

Megan said...

YEAAAA! I can't wait to have a visitor! We are gonna paaarrtay!

Abby said...

That's funny bc I go to the strip and see all the tourists and think, "Shame on all of you!" I can't claim they come for the beauty, but there certainly is some good people watching! I'm with Emily on being relieved your lives are boring right now. Sounds like just the right time to have your sister come and play!

I am sooooo glad life is boring!!! I watced that darn golf on TV and said " look its the ocean" I miss just looking at it when I try by. So you two keep life uneventful so we can play when we get there, love you guys!!

Every time the TV camera panned back to show the area I yelled at Cindy to come in and watch. We got some great glimpses of La Jolla and even saw the Soarport once.
We are looking forward to our trip in July. I don't know where my fins are but plan a beach day so you and I can foolishly try and body surf.
About being boring, there is something to be said for rest periods between adventures. As I get older I find there is something to be said just for rest periods...kind of like the naps in Kindergarten. I don't have a google account yet so I used Cindy's
(((Meg and Ian)))

We like boring if it means Ian is getting better. Boring is highly underrated. Way to go Guys!

What a blessing to be back to boring ole 'normal'. We have been looking for jobs in that area, actually. How fun would that be??

Megan said...

OOh that would be so cool if you guys came out here! Let us know if we can answer any questions if anything looks definite.

Julie said...

Yeah for boring-- that is good! Like Mo said- it just means no frantic trips to the hospital etc., right? I wish we could just hop over there and see you guys. I am glad to hear Ian is gaining fast:) I need to get my little guy on the weight train, he keeps missing the ride!
