Photo-A-Day #4601

I traveled back home from California all day. I left from the hotel at 3:30 am and got there quickly. While I was waiting there I noticed a woman standing there. I recognized her as Chloe Bennet from Marvel’s Agent’s Of S.H.I.E.L.D. I had met her a couple years back on the set of the show. I did not go and say anything to her, but I wanted to do so. I don’t like to bug people, especially at 6am while waiting for a plane to land. I did see her again in first class as I went to my seat.

My flights were good. I caught up on things on the DVR as we flew and it was a good flight but long couple of flights. I got home around 6pm. I discovered that the things that I ordered for Andrew’s birthday party were ordered incorrectly. For some reason I only ordered one set of gift bag items when I clearly remember ordering two of them. So, I ended up running out to party city for some additional bags and more little toys. Andrew’s party was Ninja themed. Allison got a wonderful cake topper for his birthday cake. It was actually edible ink printed on frosting. It was of LEGO Ninjago. She also made these adorable little bow tie cookies. I had to run out a second time to get some icing and more to finish those off.

When I came home Andrew and I filled the bags and then I read him part of a story. He was so tired that he even wanted me to stop and read more tomorrow. He must have been exhausted. It was a good idea, tomorrow is going to be busy as well.

Gift bags…

Last weekend Allison’s friend Jenn went to the Race for the Cure. Allison’s sorority alumni group is a big supporter of breast cancer activities and they help out at the race for the cure every year. This year the volunteers got gift bags and inside there was a beautiful leather pen that was pink and by Cross. they weren’t personalized pens but they were pretty special none-the-less. Jenn got an extra gift bag and gave it to Allison. That was really nice of her. Maybe next year I will run the race again. I did it a few years ago and having a year to train would be good for me.
