Christmas Time

Christmas Eve dressed up the tree and then headed over to Nishino eat some Japanese cuisine.

Chrismas Day we dressed up again and headed over to the Woodmark Hotel for a great lunch.

Gift were not exchanged today, we are waiting for my brother and his family this Friday to come from New York down to Seattle.

Those toys.

Lunch @ Work

Today work provided lunch. It was good. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. It was all good. We even had pie. Yum. Also our supervisors and managers were serving us the food. Yea.

My Snapfish Calendars.

I got my calendars today and they look great. The pictures game out clear, the paper it was printed on is nice & thick and the date pictures came our clear. One other nice thing about the calendars, there is a picture index on the back of all the pictures. For 15+ hours, it came out great. A lot different than the single picture I had with the other place.

Out to the store.

Went to Fred Meyer to pick up a few things. I did notice a few shelves bare (due to power outage because of high winds). Batteries, Flashlight, Lighter Fluid and charcoal, Ramen, Bread and Milk were a few things that were low in supply at the store.

Parents power still off.

Late Saturday and my parent's power at their house is still not on. They are spending the night at my apartment tonight (which my place does have power).

The day of winds.

Due to high winds power was down thru out the area.

Morn: was woken up by my cordless phone was beeping, this was 1:40 am. This was due to my power being out. Went back to sleep for awhile. Woke up, ate some cold cereal and headed out to walk to work. Power was out thru out the area. I avoided the major lights. The power was off up to the street where work was.

Lunch: I was planning on eating at one of the fast food joints, but power was still out. Ended up eating at work.

Work End: I see the light back on and are on at my apartment. As walking back I see lines of car at the gas stations.

I text my friend and he does not have any power yet. With some traffic, he comes over. We walk over for some Chinese food which took about 1 hr and a half. On the way back we do some bowling. With two games: I bowl 92 on my first game and 96 on my second, Chris bowls 68 on my first game and 96 on my second. Ending the day with a DVD.

Finished.

Just today I finished the 2007 Paintball Calendars for friends and family. I took a while to get all the pictures scanned and adjusted. There ended up to be over 40 pictures in this calendar. Did a little different this year, and went thru snapfish.com due to the multi-picture format and the cost.

My paintball photos.

I got this email via my Flickr account today about using some of my paintball photos.

Clean and Fix

Had my teeth cleaned and had a problem tooth fixed. Went back to work and had to make sure I could be understood and not drool while I was on the phone.

It is a cold day.

We had temps in the 20s and snow last night. We were missing about half of the people in our dept for work due to ice and snow.

Used the car for a small trip after work today, I had cracked a window in my car and had ice on the windows inside the car. Its a pain when to scape it off, sence the fan does not work.

The movie I saw today ...

Stranger Than Fiction

Comedy, Voices, Tax Man

Thinking about ...

I was recalling unpacking from my New York trip, I had purchased a mini snow globe and had packed it in the main bag and not the carry on, big mistake. The globe broke. I had wraped up, but only in paper.

My day of shoping.

I did not get up for the 6 AM sales, I got up about 10 AM and headed out.

First stop was Best Buy. Did have to work for a parking spot. Looked around had some great sales on some DVD I already had. There was one I did not have, but did not feel up waiting in the line for that.
Next was Target, found a parking spot quickly and headed in. Picked up a few needed item. Found a good deal on a 512 MB USB Flash Drive.
Last stop was Mervyns, which was having a store closing sale along with the after Thankgiving sale. Picked up some jeans for dad for Christmas & his B-Day (which are close together) and picked up 2 sets of paints and a shirt for a great price. Saved about a good 45% off the retail cost.

Alot of walking but some good deals.

After Turkey Day thought.

Why do kids mix there soft drinks?

Our family went out for our Turkey and saw a child do this and thoughts went back in time. Mix a little Coke, Sprite and Root Beer together. I saw this when I work durring my summers for the YMCA day care. From what I recall it was called a "Suicide".
