Note to self:

Remember to empty pockets of chewing gum before putting in the dryer.

So it's Christmas...

I feel bad for not being in the Christmas spirit earlier, but I'm out of my funk and we are having a nice little Christmas here in our apartment for the first time. We exchanged gifts earlier, and called our families to open presents over the phone, which was a bit chaotic with lots of loud and confused voices due to being on speaker-phone lol.
Bri got me a Canon Powershot SX110 IS which is awsome. I broke my last camera broke over the summer after my BIL's wedding, so i haven't taken any pictures since. I love my canon and am learning how to take manual shots because they look 100 x's better than auto. I got Bri some bbq stuff, clothes and The Dark Knight dvd. Cyrus got tons of new stuffed animal toys (with the gift card he won from the halloween contest!) and rawhides so he's been nuts all morning searching for more food in the left over wrapping papers. Now we are cooking dinner which will be steak, loaded twice baked potatoes, and salad while watching the Muppet's Christmas Carol.
Tomorrow is my last day of work before my week-long vacation. We are staying in Pismo beach, Catalina, and Santa Barabara for a few days. This vacation is much needed as I keep having dreams about the hospital, crazy patients, and taking x-rays. And when we get back I will have about 25 more weeks till graudation!

Here's some pics from today:

A rare sight: Leesh behind a stove.

Merry Christmas!

Dramatic Pug

This makes me die laughing everytime lol

Bah humbug.

I can't get into the christmas spirit if i'm stuck working christmas eve and not going home to see my family. i'm the only one to blame for that so i can't complain. i'm sorry :(

Starting early.

So i decided to start this blog earlier than i thought. Call it boredom, or maybe i actually have something to blog about lol. I actually don't think i will keep this strictly a photo blog like i anticipated, as i like the idea of keeping in touch with my family and friends this way.

I recently found an old blog i had kept from back in 2004 when i used to live in LA and its amazing the amount of things i forgot. like names of people i worked with, troubles with finding jobs, figuring out what i wanted to do with school and my future, and little trips i took to see certain people. i felt bad in a way, and also kinda dumb at how forgetful i became. i blame it on school and the large amount of information i had to absorb over the last 1.5 years that it pushed out old memories.
Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise to read my old memories and experiences (some were funny, most were depressing) that i had since forgotten. it was fun to read about how dorky and naive i used to be. but what was most interesting to see was how things slowly unraveled to what they are now...

Something new...

I'd like to start a picture-a-day blog just for the fun of it. But in order for this to even work, I kinda need a new digital camera for christmas :) So let's not jump the gun...


ahem...
