Everybody Freak Out! My Dad Is In Town!

January 21, 2012

Aurora in a big smiling close-up with her dadMy dad came to town! He’s pretty much the coolest guy on the planet.

He’s such a sweet dad who still takes extra care of me when he’s in town.

If we’re anything like him and his mom, he’ll never stop babying me – even when I’m a super grown-up (not just a pretty-much-grown-up like I am now).

But love and appreciate that adorable-ness, and assume I always will. I love him a ton (and kinda wish I could see him all the time).

We watched the LA Kings 5k taking place outside of my window. We would’ve been running it, but they don’t give medals. And let’s get real, I’m totally selfish and all about the bling, so if I wasn’t going to get a medal, I wasn’t going to do a 5k (even if it was across the street!).

My dad said that maybe we should’ve done it, commenting “it would’ve been fun to do two 5ks in a row.” Well, we’ll see how he feels about that after his first 5k (which he’ll be doing tomorrow – how exciting!).

By the way, I used to have this idea that every day I’d write something on the blog that made someone laugh that day, but I abandoned that because it either came out in each post already, or it just wasn’t something that seemed worth sharing… However, I thought this was funny, so I’m including one here.

My dad often has me in stitches. In the grocery store he asked me if I had a Kroger card and all sarcastically, like a horrible daughter, I said “well, I have a Shaw’s card” as in “we’re not in Ohio anymore, Daddy.” Then he pointed out that we’re not in Boston anymore either! lol We were actually at a Ralph’s! I guess I live on the west coast now… Silly, silly me.

I'd love to hear from you! So whaddya say?
