Well … here we are, the middle of December, and I’m finally writing in here again. See, the thing is, my life is so routine anymore, that it’s not even worthy to post up for you all to read. But there have been some recent events, so I’ll write about those.
Let’s see, the last I left off was about 6 weeks ago when the fires were raging on. Well, I’m happy to report the fires are out, and we’re all safe. All in all, I think I heard something like 350 homes had burned down. Thankfully no one I personally know had their house badly damaged.
On Halloween, Erica, Robin, Jacki, and I spent the day at Disneyland. It was great, no real crowds or anything. Then for dinner, we met up with Brian and Courtney and had some good Italian food in Downtown Disney. After dinner, we all did a couple more rides and then watched Fantasmic. It was great, just as I remembered it. =o)
Nothing major happened in between Halloween and Thanksgiving. Well, except I put new headlight housings on my car. The new ones are European-spec and have a nicer beam pattern. And these new ones also have the foglights in the housings (my old ones didn’t). There are pics up of the install in the “Jetta” album in my Photos.
Oh yeah, and Evan left for boot camp the week before Thanksgiving. We all threw him a good-bye bash full of food and Xbox fun. It was sad to see him go, but we’ll get to see him again for Christmas. Even though, it’s still not going to be the same without him around. He brought a certain “flare” to us all and it will be sorely missed.
Then came Thanksgiving. For the first time in several years, our whole family was together for the holiday. My parents, Michael, Gaile, and I all flew up to my sister’s house in Sacramento and had dinner with her and my brother-in-law Mikee. It was a BLAST up there and we all had so much fun. I got to try some interesting alcoholic concoctions. The food was GREAT and the family fun was even better. It’s great to see we can all still get along and have fun together. (You can see photos of the whole week in the “Thanksgiving 2003″ album). The most interesting part of the whole trip was when Michael and Gaile made sushi for us. It’s surprisingly simple, and it tasted pretty damn good. Two-thumbs-up in my book. =o)
Then, let’s see, the last two weeks have pretty much just been me working, schooling, and preparing for finals. I only have 2 finals, so that’s helpful, but I have at least 1 test in every class next week, whether they’re finals or just chapter tests. I’m not stressing TOO much, but enough that I’m a little worried and am studying.
Oh yah, and last weekend, I spent the whole weekend putting lights up on the house, and I’m still not done (got some cleanup work to do).
Possibly going Christmas shopping tonight with Erica and Robin, or maybe tomorrow with Erica. We’ll see how it pans out. Going to Robin’s polo game this afternoon. My first polo game (whoah). This should be interesting, to say the least. Bunch of girls in skimpy outfits beating each other up? Sounds like my kind of sport! Lol … just messin.
K … well I’ll try to make an effort at getting more blog entries posted in the future. I’ve promised that before, and it hasn’t faired too well. Ahh well.
). Before my birthday, though, Jess got in contact with my family and organized a large joint gift from them. Everyone contributed towards giving me gift cards so I could get my car windows tinted!
