norsegirlLast night we planned to go to Star Trek. Of course I was running late coming to pick Jason up, no good reason for that, but we still might have made it if Jason hadn't wandered off to someone else's office and not been outside waiting when I arrived. By the time we got to the theater it was totally sold out. To be fair, it may have been sold out hours before due to internet ticket sales, so no worries. We could have tried a different, larger theater, but by the time we got to this theater, found parking and discovered the show was sold out we didn't have enough time to get to a showing at the same time at the other one. I guess we'll try again on Sunday, tonight we have dinner plans with Jason's office buddies.
We toyed with the idea of going out to eat (though felt guilty about it because we are also going out tomorrow) and in the end we did. Had a super-thin-crust pizza at a local pizza place. It wasn't the best pizza I've ever had, but the toppings were interesting (portabella mushrooms, artichokes and roasted red pepper) and the crust didn't completely suck, so that puts it in the top spot for this city so far (at least of the options that are close, there's better pizza if we want to drive 20 minutes to get it). It was fairly expensive for what it was so I'm not sure we'll be back as I'm sure I could make something fairly similar on a pita bread for 1/5th of the price at home.
After dinner I got inspired to go exploring and followed the signs to the other new development in our area. Turns out those are duplexes, so I know why our real estate agent never bothered to drive us down there, but while cruising around and checking out the amenities we discovered a rather large, fenced off-leash doggie park! Ran home and got the beagles and let them run themselves ragged for an hour so they slept all night when we got home. I can't believe all this time we've had an off-leash fenced area a mere 5 minutes from out house and with no freeway driving or traffic to keep us from it! No more trying to cross the city in bumper-to-bumper to exercise dogs for me! Sometimes things not going to plan really works out in the end if you just run with it.
