DISNEYLAND

Yes, we went to Disneyland. It is supposed to be "The Happiest place on Earth", but according to Jeremy, Mt. Shast is actually the happiest place on earth. Now, I am not really sure where the happiest place on earth is, but I don't intend to let that question keep me up at night. We had a very good time at Disneyland.

We had to do a little thinking on exactly how we could make it SUPER FUN, these pictures illustrate what we did.

First, we rented lockers for the kids.


We found this to be much more relaxing for us and them.

Secondly, we invited Heather to come with us.

As you can clearly see, Heather always has fun!

The next thing I decided to do I ended up regretting, but it did give the group some laughs.




Ok, I realized that it may have been a bad idea about the time they stopped the coaster to arrest me, I still don't know why they stopped it at the top of that hill! I really didn't think it was wrong, I mean, afterall, I got it from a Disney person.

Ok, that was actually a picture of me trading a Disney pin with one of the cast members, I hate to admit it, but it's true. The roller coaster really did get stuck there and we never found out why. It was pretty crazy, they actually had to send people up there to release all of the harnesses and escort the people down the track. I wish we would have been on that one!
I tried to spend some quality time with Hope this trip, and when she was happy, it worked pretty well!


As for Noah, we really did put him in that locker and Heather really is just as crazy as that picture shows! I am happy to be home, but sorry to be back to work! It's not so bad though, I have half of next week off to go see my parents.

My Sweet Purchase

Well, I was doing my daily check of good deal sites on the web last week and I came across one that sounded pretty decent on thingfling. They were offering a MonsterPower surge protector as the primary item, but it was coming in a "grab-box" mixed with other stuff that they guaranteed would make this worth $150. The price on the item was $35 and although I knew that the surge protector alone would cost that much, I also knew that I could buy an off brand one for half that much. I decided to go ahead and take the risk in hope of good luck. Well, I have to say, I'm not sure if it would really be worth $150, but I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of stuff that I got.



I ended up getting a total of
  • 4 surge protectors (in varying qualities)
  • 2 extension cords
  • 4 multiple outlet adapters
  • a pigtail adapter
  • a coaxial cable
  • and a timer/surge protector

I am very happy with my purchase and now even more excited to get my new computer and use many of these things to add plugs behind the desk! Oh, I almost forgot, I got that sweet T-shirt too!!!

Well, I only have 1.5 days of work this week and then we are leaving for Disneyland with the Klocke family. There are 11 of us going in total, Neil's family, Kevin's family, Kent's family and my family. We are really looking forward to having a great time together and apparently we are hoping that it rains so Disneyland won't be too crowded. Well, I will post at some point after we get back so y'all can hear how it went. Until then... Watch your topknot!

A VERY Quick Update

Well, as you can see, I have changed my template. I still have some more work to do! I also added two songs to my song chooser. I plan to update for real fairly soon, but until then, this will have to suffice!

Today is/was my birthday! I got a lot of phone calls from those who care for me! Thanks y'all! (By the way, I still love all of you who were unable to call me too!(You can just tell me you tried to call me after 3:15pm and I must have been at work)) Anyway, thank you aswell for the cool birthday gifts that you bought me. I will post some pictures of my loot as soon as possible. Anyway, I'm off to work!
