Here are some photos from the sunshine last week and the snow earlier this week. Missoula weather has been so weird, it can’t decide.
I got a call today from a lady cousin friend of mine about needing assistance with filing papers for adoption of her brother’s son in Laos to come to the US because of something tragic, he’s the only person left or something to that sort. It was silly of me but I called my brother up to get more information on this because he had married his wife from Laos and had gone through all the paperwork filling process. He told me about the USIS organization for the government, ect and then asked me what day it was today.
Silly me – it was his birthday. Thank goodness my phone had it on there and I got a reminder in the morning about it but I didn’t get a chance to call him and then when I did, I’d forgotten. Well we chatted for a bit but he makes a good point, that was good to hear from a dear sibling from far away and although I didn’t have a gift for him, I remembered. I know that that is what matters most.
I went for some sushi with the girls from work today at Sushi Hana downtown. I didn’t get the sushi this time however, I always go to lunch with them there every now and then and I always say “oo I’m so tempted to get one of these bowls” and never do because my favorite is the Lawyer’s Combo.. but today I was brave enough to get the Teriyaki Chicken bowl. I can say that I can cook the same, or pretty similar, dish at home but I’d be lying. There was definitely some deliciousness cooked into it that I don’t know about.. but I did leave a little unfulfilled. Not that I wasn’t full – just not fulfilled… if you know what I mean.
I guess it means that when you go for “sushi”.. you must order sushi, can’t wait for another lunch time at Sushi Hana.
It’s funny that in this day and age – it’s not what you know but who you know that will get you far in life. A classic example of that was shown to me today after lunch as I walked to the Wells Fargo in the downtown area to deposit a refund check from the mortgage company and ran into Debbie. She work’s at another branch but happened to be there that day doing some training things and she was made me notice her by announcing that she saw “Missoula’s Choice Local Photographer” over there, which was me. Then it just so happened that one of the tellers in the branch was a hottie that I’ve been scoping out on Mayhem.
I didn’t have the courage to approach him on Mayhem because of the past experience he’d been through but because Debbie knew him, we had a great introduction and I hope to work with him in the future. It’s amazing how different people look with their clothes on… lol. Good night.
