oh yeah

i just realized i didnt post about christmas. well, some of you know the story. as for those of you who dont, here it is


We were scheduled to work for christmas, but usually they close the plant. but my mom didnt know this. well, the weather has been really nice, so i decided a couple weeks before, that i would like to go home for christmas. I called Don, and let him know my plans. then, a good friend of mine, offered her jeep to take up there in case of bad weather. (good idea too!!) so, christmas eve, i got off work at 7 am, went home to nap, and got ready to go to oregon around 3ish. I headed up there, getting out of the forest at 6. this was perfect, since thats the time i usually leave for work. i called my mom to talk to her, and i could tell she was pretty bummed. she couldnt believe i had to work on christmas. so i told her i would call her later on my break, she sounded sad. well, around 9 i pulled into their driveway. since i was not in my car, everyone (except Don) was like "theres a white jeep out there?" so she came out to see who it was, and i walked up to the door, and asked if i could stay the nite. The first words out of her mouth were "NO WAY! you said you had to work!! WHAT are you doing here!!!!" she was really happy. then, she was sad that i had no presents to open, but i had all the presents from home, so i brought em in and said "dont worry i brought my own!" we had a fantastic christmas, and i stayed an extra day to spend some time with my mom.......
so thats what happended over christmas. my next post will be about my MIA status. tons of good things have come my way since Jan 1st.

For my birthday, we threw a party down at the pool hall. then went to bullys. its a sports bar down by my house. we had a lot of fun! here are some of the pics

santa crawl continued

We did this chairity a few weeks ago. the thing is, Reno has 17 bars downtown. well, once a year, everyone dresses like santa and they hit up as many bars as they can. for every santa served, the bar donates 50 cents to the food bank. this year, my friends and i decided to participate. it was a blast! All together there were about 2,000 santas. The only bad part was that it was really really cold out. but i was dressed in a santa suit, so i was warm.

the first pic below is me with this guy that dressed up like a knome. he was the only one so it was quite funny.

then next pic is myself, and my boss/good friend Billy. we went together.

the last pic, is our first drink of the nite.

all in all, we ended up going to 9 bars. after that, we were too tired and intoxicated to go to anymore. so we rented a room downtown so there was no drinking and driving.

Santa Crawl

doing okay

hi all. well, i have been doing great! had a birthday couple weeks ago. thanks to all who sent and gave me the awsome gifts! we had a good day. i worked, but after work, my pals took me out to dinner. and the weekend right before, we went and played pool at the pool hall, then went down to bullys and had drinks. new years was great! went down to my friends and we proceeded to drink the new years in, and play old school nintendo. so far, the new year has been wonderful. i still have to take my car to get fixed. I am getting ready for mouth surgery sometime in the next 3 months. and i am working alot of overtime to pay these odds and ends off. my goals have been simple, and right now, everything has been going wonderful!
