"We are the masters of short trips."The Thanksgiving weekend was a most excellent way of kicking off the holiday season. As I had written Friday, I had a lot to reflect upon as well as be thankful for. On Saturday, my mom and I wanted to get out of town, so on a whim we drove up to Flagstaff. We went to Walnut Canyon, the Lowell observatory, ( Read more... )

My weekend wasn't easy to sum up, so I figured I would just show the following Halloween picture until I get around to making a fully fledged post:

My mom and I got to the fair just an hour after it opened in order to get two for one admission, which ended up being worth it. We saw most of the animals, as well as various photographs, crafts, and hobby items that were displayed. I also played a few midway games, which I didn't win big on, rode a few rides, and ate a Churro - All in good fun ( Read more... )

I am going to the State Fair sometime this weekend with my mom. Ironically, I hadn't gone when I was living relatively close to there, so I'm sure I'll find ample amusement whether it be from the rides, games, or my mom when she gets to see all the kinds of animals that she loves. I just might run into Brandy there as well ( Read more... )

A lot has been happening. This is an attempt to cover most of it. I hope to cover some details of it in the future.

My Birthday (23rd)
My birthday went exactly the way I wanted it to. Slept in, hung out with David & his family, had an awesome dinner and awesome presents.

Christmas EveCall me crazy, but I went shopping using the money I got ( Read more... )

When were you born?
December 23rd, 1982 at 8:05AM.  I was actually due for Christmas Day.

OMG that must suck - Don't you get ripped off on presents?Fortunately, people who know me well, whether it be family or friends, don't do that.  If I only get one present from someone, as opposed to at least one for each occasion, it's always bigger than ( Read more... )

My night lasted longer than I expected since I was having a hard time going to sleep last night, and my day started out earlier than I expected.
Jeanne (inthecoldagain) invited me to Turkey Bowl football festivities at a high school in Tempe at 10AM.  We threw around a frisbee & football for a while before playing some two hand touch among her friends.  Then ( Read more... )

Ah, the joys of Christmas. I wish they were already here, because I sure could’ve used them yesterday. I was in an emotional slump until the last few hours of my shift on top of feeling kinda weird physically. So in an effort to start my shift on a positive note, here are some things I want for Christmas listed from most to least wanted ( Read more... )

63.95As I look at the amount accrued vacation time on my pay stub, I realize that for the first time (ever?) I am working on Halloween. I got my celebrating in early though, and I don't feel like taking a day off just for Halloween when I could use it for some decent weekend or week long trips in the future. My idea for a costume was spurred ( Read more... )

For Halloween, Monica and I are going to Kirstin's Halloween party. I'm dressing up as an old man (possibly with a wheelchair), and Monica is going as Anna Nicole Smith. She got her brother to put a picture of Sugar Pie, Anna's dog, on a pink t-shirt for her. I can't wait to see everyone's reaction to our idea.
