Summer Haps

I haven't blogged in forever, I have been so busy at work and I wanted to wait to figure out some things before I could write.  What I had to figure out was for a little while it looked like I was going to go to Hawaii with Mark and his family because of the cheap airfare but then things fell through so we are going to go to Manzanita so I am still excited (more on that after other updates)

so working at PGE Park is still great I love working for the Beavers and Timbers.  I have really been enjoying having office hours also its cool to be able to write the scripts and such.  Also for Fright Night on Friday the 13th I came up with a contest that fit the theme that involved matching a phobia to the definition.  I was really excited for it and it was a hit, my boss even got a text from her boss saying he liked it!!!  That was really exciting!  My aunt and uncle went to NY for awhile (they get back tomorrow) but I was not able to stay at their house for awhile because they had house exchange visitors.  For the first couple days I stayed at my friend Natalie's in Lake Oswego because I still had to work games but once I had days off I went down to Eugene to visit Mark.  I had lots of fun in Eugene!

Eugene:
Mark and I's friends Sara and Russell were there so we hung out with them a bunch.  One day we went floating the river, it was warm until we got to the river and then it was freezing and then as we were on the river it started to thunder and lightning and rain.  So I paddled as fast as I could and like ran back to their house.  After warming up we all went to dinner at Steelhead and then I realized how much I was craving chocolate and Sara agreed so we all went to Coldstone.  The next day we went to the Natural Rock Slides by Triangle Lake.  That was so much fun!  I  can't wait to go again!  Then Thursday I hung out as long as I could and Mark and I got frozen yogurt but then I had to leave to stop by and see my mom in Corvallis and then get to Portland.

Back in Portland:
I worked yesterday from 10am-10:30pm at PGE Park.  There were fireworks after the game!  Now I have a few days off so I am working for Mudd Coffee Shop hanging fliers to make some money.  Wednesday I have office hours at PGE Park and then there is a BBQ at the Park also.  Then Thursday I have office hours and then I am working the Timbers game.  Then Friday morning off to Manzanita for a bit with Mark and his family.

I got hit:
yes poor Kiki did incur damage in her third collision with another car.  I was pulling into a driveway on Friday morning to turn around to park for work.  I started to back up then I noticed a bicycle and so I stopped and waited.  Right when I was about to start going a van that was also in the driveway started backing up at me all of a sudden.  I honked the horn for my first time.  The van did dent my drivers side door and knocked off my rear view mirror.  Fortunately the lady did realize that it was completely her fault... She never looked back obviously or she would have seen me.  So this week I am getting a quote for insurance and then getting my car fixed and my insurance will pay and then charge her insurance.  I took care of all the calls and the insurance people said they were very impressed.

Puddles the Duck:
Last Sunday was Lucky's (The Portland Beavers Mascot) birthday!  Other mascots were supposed to come to celebrate and we got Puddles costume without having a person to fill it come along and so I played Puddles for the day.  It was so much fun because I had to be goofy and mess around all game.  I also signed a lot of autographs and took a lot of pictures with all the fans.  It was awesome I have one picture below and hopefully I will be able to add a few more later.

I dominated Benny!

Always more excitement to come!
