Meet Oliver

He's a 2010 Hyundai Elantra

and he's so much fun to drive.

Christmastime at Disneyland

Went to Disneyland a few weeks ago...and it was fantastic! Disneyland sure spares no expense. Everything was decorated.

And in my quest to ride EVERY. SINGLE. ATTRACTION. I finally hit the teacups. So much FUN! I'll be heading back next time.

Small World was decked out with Christmas decorations and Jingle Bells was mingled in with the regular Small World song. The line was so long we only hit this once - as part of our tour.

I really enjoyed Christmastime at Disneyland. It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.

Super

I went to Vancouver with Collin, Hunter and Debbie a few weeks ago. It was a quick trip. I'm super glad we took the time to drive down Chuckanut Drive. I've been wanting to do so for about a year but have either not had the time or the road was closed. I can certainly understand why it ranks fairly high on the "Best Drives in the US" lists. We stopped at a couple of scenic overlooks as well as a few slow car turn outs so the poor people stuck behind me could get on with their day. It's gorgeous. I highly recommend it.

During one of our stops Hunter climbed up on a rock and asked me to take his foto.

I ♥

Along with the super cool cassette tape bag, I got these AWESOME I ♥ stickers. They were so much fun, I didn't want to split them up. So I put them all on my laptop.

They are getting a lot of attention at work. Anytime I'm taking notes in a meeting I can see the other attendees trying to read the stickers and not laugh. The overwhelming favorite seems to be "I ♥ walking fast to look busy." My favorite, however, is "I ♥ being right" because truer words have never been stickered on a laptop. I also enjoy I ♥ Henry in Accounting...because it's a pop culture reference to a TV show...and I ♥ me a good pop culture reference.

Thanks for all of the fun Dee Dee! (and the super cute daisies are courtesy of Debbie - Thanks Deb!)

Fuegos Artificiales

Had a great view for the fireworks over Lake Union this year.

What is it about fireworks that leave you with such a sense of awe?

And remind you of your childhood?

And what is with people that decide to commute to work on a unicycle?

Super cool bags

A few weeks ago I was given two super cool bags. One is made of recycled juice boxes and the other looks like a big ol' cassette tape.

I love gifts and even more, I love useful super cool gifts. Thanks!

Seen at the Beach

When we were at the beach in Seattle a few weeks ago we walked by what appeared to be a dead man lying next to the pathway. Everyone that walked by was startled at first and then laughed...because what do you do? I kinda wanted to go over and poke at him to make sure he was alive, but then I noticed his chest moving and since he was breathing, I left him alone. He's like a human Garfield. The sun came up in Seattle and he just fell asleep.
