This Christmas sucked! I caught a bug and was out sick, Sandy went to visit family in San Diego and I missed the Nakamatsu Christmas Party! Enough about my woes… Hope everyone else had a Merry Christmas.
Christmas Potluck
We had a little get together tonight with Jim, Kelly Steve & Diane.
Pelicans
For some unknown reason a trio of Pelicans have decided to stake out a claim in our lagoon. They do have to contend with those pesky Cormorants though.
Vegas – Winter Wonderland
I had to go to Las Vegas on Wednesday, in what I thought would be a quick day trip. I took a jacket thinking it might be a little cold at night and wouldn’t you know it, it snowed like you wouldn’t believe (well for Vegas). All outgoing flights were canceled and I didn’t bring any clothes. Made a quick stop to Kohl’s for a new shirt, socks and brand new stiff underwear. I wanted to stay close to the airport because I had a 7:00AM flight. I ended up staying at Hooter’s Casino & Hotel. That’s be the last time I stay there. The room smelled like frying oil and it was pretty beat up.
I usually bring home the small toiletries for Sandy. She donates them to the local church. They use it at a half way house. I’ll wait and see if she donates this set.
Winter Chill
I’ve been holding out on using the heater to save a bit of money and just to see who would complain first… I lost today. Boy did Sandy give me a hard time.
Bips
Woke up early so we could get breakfast at my favorite local eatery Bips Broiler and then do some Christmas shopping at Target.
Dinner at Kincaid’s
We met Tita Flor, Ate Anna & Steve for dinner tonight at Kincaid’s in Jack London Square. Sandy had the Duck Confit & I had the Lobster Mac & Cheese, delicious!
It’s beginning to look a lot like…
Tonight at our local Towne Center Shopping Plaza.
A Casual Lunch
Sandy made a pasta sauce out of my leftover chicken stuffing made from broccoli, cheese, Portuguese sausage and mushrooms. She topped it off with toasted almonds, yummy!
A new low
A far cry from earlier this year (June).
