It's been forever since I last updated. I guess I've been really slacking around the holidays. I was busy with making my Christmas gifts which were home roasted coffee. They took a while to roast so I was spending the better part of December doing that, along with my normal Christmas and Birthday gift hunting. I'm particularly proud of my gift to Mike. I took one image I had of him and Sasha his beagle and made it into a zip up sweatshirt for him to use while he was out here in the cold California weather away from his Caribbean climate.

I'm really happy with the results when they arrived in the mail, and Mike was too. Over New Year's I was off to Las Vegas for the second time in my life. I love that town, there is always something to do. I didn't hit it big, but then I really didn't gamble much. I found a Star Trek slot machine that I'm in love with! As you play you earn medals and your rank increases. You actually log in so it saves your information. So when I go gambling again in who knows how long I'll log into the slot machine and the 4 medals I've already won will still be there for me! How cool is that?! I counted down to midnight in the middle of the strip with Dave, Nate and Ryan and my giant Eiffel Tower glass full of Paris Punch! It was fun! The fireworks had a newly imposed height restriction put on them this year so they were really low and disappointing. We gathered in front of the Bellagio which is about the center of the strip thinking we'd have a great view from there, but alas all we could make out were clouds of smoke. Next time we do New Year's in Vegas we'll have to go to a club party instead of congregating on the strip. We did however find some awesome Mardi Gras beads to wear. We got a lot of suggestive comments from them and their size, even from the cops. ;)
