I think I'm becoming a Faire nerd...

Henry invited me back, this time to join in the mega feast for the MacDaddy clan. I had even MORE fun the 2nd time!! I'm being sucked into this crazy world of pirates, gypsies & kilts. I 'might' have to become an official kilt checker...

Spooning

To follow up the Torrance 100, our HR dept. decided to hold a spoon relay in the parking lot. We formed teams of 4, passing a chocolate egg to each other without using our hands. The community department (give it up for me, em, lisa & Leo!) won our first heat. We were far too excited about the contest, practicing between rows of cubicles and wearing team uniforms - but that's why we get along i suppose. we're all completely nuts! Fun times, including a wheel of prizes - Becky came home with a rolling backpack cooler with a big red B on the front. B, for Becky :)

my heart belongs to David Cook. and Dane Cook.

There's one every season...

number 3

oh yes. the saga continues.

Renaissance Faire

Henry invited me to go to Ren Faire with him and his Clan, the MacDaddys, at the Santa Fe Dam on Saturday. Holy crap!!! THE best day of people watching EVER. Now I thought i was weird.... see below :) However, these people are completely out of their minds - and i LOVED it. Henry's mom is one of the founding members of their clan and had all kinds of costume pieces for me to choose from. (i did not want to 'stand out' from the crowd). I'm trying to figure out when I can return for more!!!! Thanks Henry :)

wow, i didn't know how i actually looked..

My pals are the best. I asked them to dress up as superheroes for my birthday and amazingly, most of them actually did it!.. Then we went to the bowling alley - in costume. This was the best gift anyone could ever give me :) Even my Mom showed up in costume!

Eaton Canyon Hike

i think i'm pretty special and that i shouldn't have to work on my birthday... so this year i decided to roll out to Pasadena for a hike in the foothills. My old stomping ground! Took some fun pics and finally understand why i shouldn't go for hikes by myself. Let's just say i rushed out of that canyon in a BIG hurry. I'm fine, and i'm glad i followed my instincts (better late than never). Maybe i'll take that self defense course after all!

Photo Shoot!

Leo Flores took these awesome pictures of the Community Crew at a park down the street from the office. Scott, David M., Emily, Lisa, Leo G., Kelly and I had such a great time!! These will be used on the blog contributers page and headshots when we post. Woohoooo!!
