For those of us who are unnatached on the upcoming commercial holiday: From our friends at despair.com

Well, I’m posting this nearly a week late but I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas 🙂 Nothing spectacular under the tree for Sloanie this year– just some shirts and stuff. That’s the problem with buying your own toys– you outgrow your parents spending limits and it makes Christmas morning less exciting than it used…

It used to be a Christmas Eve tradition in our family to go to Litza’s Pizza downtown Salt Lake City to have pizza for dinner and then we’d visit Temple Square to see the lights, maybe drive around afterwards looking at Christmas lights, etc. In recent years we’ve gone on the 23rd rather than Christmas…

Yeah, both today and Friday people have been brining around little goodies for Christmas that they’ve made for their co-workers. Happens every year but being in a new department and working with/around a lot more people, there is a lot more of it this year. And hence a lot more guilt that I didn’t do…

Well, it’s been an interesting week. Monday I started my new job full time and yeah, it’s pretty hectic right now. It’s crunch time with a big deadline coming up in a couple weeks, and I’m still learning the ropes and getting the hang of everything. Monday – Wednesday passed quickly with no time to…

Well, I think a lot of people caught the Christmas bug early this year as it started snowing on October 30. Granted, the snow has since melted and it looks more like November outside again than December, but it doesn’t change the effect the early snow had on people. My family gets pretty fanatic about…

Dan’s in for it now! Kato dressed up as Samara for halloween. I have to be honest and say that I’ve never seen a costume that gave me the willies but throwing that black hair over her face and walking around kinda zombie-like definitely gave me the creeps. Apparently I wasn’t the only one disturbed…

I failed. I totally didn’t prepare a Halloween post last night. Oh well. For now, here are some pics from “The Ring” just for good measure (Thanks Kato! I’ll have to throw in the music after work). Happy Halloween! So, let me first say that I could never dream up a costume idea this lame.…

Here I was betting that it wouldn’t snow in October. It was 70 degrees earlier yesterday, what they were saying was the “warm before the storm”. It got pretty cold last night, and this morning was really overcast. Ok. Then it starts to snow lightly– no big deal, a little bit of snow that hardly…

I remember seeing commercials for these cereals when I was little. It was always such an interesting cereal, maybe because Mom never bought it for us. Several years later I find myself in a grocery store at Halloween time looking for cereal to take to work. There is a sale on Count Chocula, Franken Berry,…

Trogdor Strikes Again! Check out all his majesty… So they had a pumpkin carving contest after institute today, and I had no idea what to carve. Of course what did I end up doing, but a Trogdor jack-o-lantern. I did the best I could from memory, it’s off a bit, a little lacking in the…

Though there’s been talk of costumes and the stores are filled with Halloween decorations and candy (not to mention Christmas stuff that’s already available), I hadn’t really caught the Halloween bug yet this month. At lunch today I chatted with my sisters about Halloween and Halloween movies and decided I needed to A) compile a…
