Weekend with Daddy :-)

YAY! My daddy came and visited me this weekend :-) He was and currently still is doing school visits in Phoenix and so he took the flight over to La La Land for the weekend. He arrived on Friday and I was able to introduce him to my boss and a few people around the office. He's really really having trouble with his hip :-/ The maybe needing hip replacement kind of trouble....this is no good. I was pretty worried about him. He was constantly in pain all weekend and was moving very slowly and needed to take many breaks. But, onto the happy things about this weekend. So Friday night we went back to my place and just chilled with some dinner and the meet and greet with Milo. Milo was spooked at first and hid under my bed. I brought him out and he seemed to like dad as he went up to be petted and also meowed at him a lot (Milo meows?! lol). However, I don't think he was too thrilled with the environment change. Since I got him in September he has never once peed outside of his box. In one day (Sunday) he peed twice outside his box....and I stepped in it both times :-/ YUCK! I hope that phase is over now that dad has cleared out. Saturday had us going to IHOP for breakfast, which was good as always, and then we headed down to Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach for a visit. That was a lot of fun and dad definitely enjoyed the jelly fish, the ark arks, the puffins, and the otter show.





We also enjoyed the gift shop...hehehehehe....and dad wound up buying me quite a few dolphins and glass jelly fish to decorate my apartment (he also got Jen some for Christmas). The price was amazing, so I guess it's all good. After the Aquarium, we headed back north and went to Burbank to see "Burlesque." What a FANTASTIC movie! The songs were great, the acting was great, and it was a bunch of hot people dancing around being sexy. What more can you ask for? Plus, the boy, w-o-w :-D After the movie it was time for Chipotle, and going back to my place for some relaxing. Sunday was "game day!" And it was, lots and lots of sports. Which is ok I guess, but I am only interested in the Eagles, so watching everyone else was not so great. Plus, he had his golf too. So in the AM, I left him to his games while I walked it around NOHO and hit up the bank, got an LA Times, and hunted down McDonalds breakfast. Then I was able to watch some DVR recordings of some shows before we went back to sports time. Finally, the Eagles and Cowboys were on and the game was great. A real slugfest in the truest sense and was full of dirty dirty game play. But Eagles won and all is good in the world!

He left early this morning and I did my lovely morning run. Then I went to the doctors office for an annual physical. Boy, was that a lovely experience. Firstly, I may have been the only English speaking patient. Second, I was the first one in and had a 9am appointment, but the lady wouldn't do my paperwork or get my insurance card on time, so I didn't get to see the doctor until 10 :-o Oi vay! And when I called in to tell them I'd be later coming in this morning then I thought, I found out Jen was out this morning too because she was with her brother and his dog (who unfortunately had to be put down :-/). At least the actual appointment was quick, and they got my vein on the first stick...but it was a slow flow. LOL. Gave 3 vials of blood and even the lovely pee cup. I'll get my results in a few weeks. then off to work I went.....oh Monday........
