Santosh's new toy

Santosh visited the city a few weeks back, and got to show off his new
toy, a nikon D90. Here he is taking pictures near the golden gate
bridge.

Sold my old bed!

What's even more exciting than getting a new bed? Selling an old
one! I got $100 for this old bed, which was exactly what I had paid
for it about a year ago. Great success!

Guess who got a new bed?

Because my old bed had a horrible tendency to sag, I decided to go a
little crazy and purchased a ridiculous tempurpedic deluxe bed.
Economy what? Stimulus who?

Anyways, I didn't want to use my old bed, which lacked a center
support so I went ahead and purchased a brand new bed at cost plus.
The bed i happened to like the best was a canopy bed. Very .ahem.
manly... Princesses, puppies and rainbows rejoice. Here's jenny
riding in the back of my cavvy... Unbelievably, the queen sized
canopy bed fit just perfectly! (jenny had to squeeze)

Christmas flowers and quiche!

Jenny whipped up some quiche for christmas using thad's all-butter
crust recipe. Apparently, it was a hit! I sent jenny this christmas
boquet of flowers.

Christmas at grandma's!

Here's olivia spinning around in grandma's basement. I have childhood
memories of spinning around and around on this very pole until I felt
dizzy. :)

Olivia opening presents!

Vegas baby!

It was surprisingly cheaper to fly 3 legs with a couple days in vegas
than to fly roundtrip to Detroit. Luckily, I got to meet up with mike
and Jessica for a night in vegas before we all flew back to Detroit on
the Sunday night red eye. Apparently, chances are high for getting
bumped up into a suite when you book for a single night in the down
season. Fortune smiled on us, as mike and Jessica and I all got free
bumps to suites. Here's a pic of theirs at the pallazzo, it was
insane! Rappers must have parties here! The outer balcony alone was
bigger than my apartment. :)

Kelvin's last day at work.

months, but unfortunately he had to move on to another rotation back
in illinois. We'll miss you kelvin!
