"All I want for Christmas are my two front tires chained"

The deed is done

So the snow continues and the people go crazy!! It is really fun to sit back and watch spin out after spin out of cars on the snow! Its a great comfort to know that the cities here only have like on snow-plow and since it hasn't been used all year it is not in working condition. So much so that the only snow coming off the road is that which is caked, and flipped off of tires to land either right back on the road or the windshield or hood of your car. Great fun let me tell ya. Though I said it was fun to sit back and soak all of it in and find it humorous, peoples misfortune of slipping and sliding, I did find it in myself to help them. Kayleen and I were stuck behind a whole line of slippery travelers, we ended up passing them all on the hill and parked the car at the top and ran back down to help. I advised them to turn off their traction resistor ESR, or some acronym like that, and told them how to drive in it to not be afraid of the gas and when to push it when not to push it..we had a jolly old time. Then after the pointers, car after car we help push... even getting to a big ol truck that was incapable to climb the hill...let me repeat..a TRUCK couldn't do it. Some odd reason it wasn't a 4X4 only rear-wheel drive..we did the best we could but ended up having her back down the road and find an alternative route. It felt good leaving an empty road filled with nothing but struggling skid marks. It made me feel like I had done my good deed for the day...and only thirty minutes before I had to be at work..ha..there is always time for a good deed I have found.

Winter wonderland in Seattle

Through much depression I honestly thought that moving to Seattle I would not have the chance to see snow fall around where I live and 'in the valley'. I know its not called the valley here but that is just what I am used to calling it when it snows amongst the people and the city... I am so cold these days its not even funny. Its like it doesn't matter how many layers I put on cause it'll still chill me to the bone. Its funny cause it gets colder in Utah then it does here and I am whining..go figure. I feel like a baby..oh well. Though I do wish I had a certain jacket..that I would wear during the winter..called the North Face Odyssey in black..that is a toasty jacket. Its funny though..nobody told me that you need to have a rain jacket...though it is a givin that we are in Seattle and it rains over half the year. I need to start taking that into consideration if I wanna keep dry in the future.

Santas checkin it twice

Amidst all the hustle a bustle during this season we forget that Santa is not only busy makin those toys for us all he is getting his Jolly on and sweet talkin the teenage girls..haha I was kinda gigglin to myself when I saw this the other day. I was on my break and Santa had these two girls wrapped around his finger...They were talking for a good forty minutes or so...it was pretty funny.

On the greyer side of things...I found out that I will not be able to make it back to Utah for Christmas...which is a big bummer...but I guess that is just how things go...I will spend my second year in a row away from home during the Holidays. I'm not sure if I am going to head south to Kenniewick to have dinner with Kayleens family or not...things are still up in the air. But this is a time to be thankful for what you have. I am grateful. :) I am happy. I am one.

The simple things make you happy

So it just hit me yesterday that I wanted to do something that I don't think I have ever done before. That was to make some delicious honey bread. So I bought two loaf pans from Albertsons for $2 and today I made bread! And I just ate the first slice and it is 'umm umm good!' I was actually really surprised at how tasty it turned out.... my mouth is watering just thinking about the second slice. For the first attempt I might say it was a great success. I wanna try other type of breads for the second time around.. maybe a Cinnamon raisin bread...that sounds delightful! We'll see what will tickle my fancy then...the great thing is...since Borders has hired me a great plus is that all employees get to check out any book in the store as along as there are two of them...Ha HA so you bet I'm going to be bring home some Paula Dean books and other great cook books to try stuff out! I'm excited! Wish you all could take a slice home with ya...its too good to hold to ones self...Later!

24

K, there are many things that I love in life...I love the air...I love the mountains...I love to laugh...there are so many things that I can name but one of my loves has been lost for over a year or so and just barley resurfaced....and that is....24!! Yes! Jack Bauer is back... and now has no CTU or rules holding him back..he is not under any jurisdiction..haha oh and I am so freakn excited! I watched 24 Redemption the other day and was just glued the entire time...and then on the Disc there was the first fifteen minutes of Season 7. Warning...the following will spoil season 7 if you are a true fan I am so so mad that Tony is back alive...well I am not mad that he is back but that he is bad! It is going to be a great season but Tony was one of our favorites the whole time...minus him is the first season. I don't believe that he is bad...I predict that he is having to do what he is doing cause they(the Chinese) have his woman...and they are going to kill him if he doesn't do it...that is what I predict and we'll see what happens..oh I'm so excited!
