Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday. Cherish the moments. And remember, don't save it all for Christmas Day.

Merry Christmas from VLC.

I use VLC media player for all of my media needs. i.e. watching videos. This is what it looks like in my start menu...




The other day I opened it to watch a video and found my VLC media player has a Santa hat! I laughed. And thought I'd share. Did everyone finish their Christmas shopping yet?

How to speak Texan. Apparently.

My mom sent this to me. I guess to help with the lingo for when I move.

Kinky Friedman, entertainer and former Texas gubernatorial candidate, explains how to speak Texanese:

"Y'all is singular."

"All y'all is plural."

"All y'all's is plural possessive."

Note to self.

Ten things I know about San Antonio Texas

1. Two hours from the beach
2. Seventh largest city in the U.S.
3. Warm during the winter
4. HOT during the summer
5. They have scorpions (which that just might be Texas in general, hopefully not San Antonio.)
6. There are either 7 Universities or SEVERAL Universities. I couldn't understand what the guy was saying in the conference call.
7. There's at least one University.
8. A lot of people live there.
9. I'm going to live there.
10. I really can't come up with a number ten. I don't know if number nine even counted. Suffice it to say it's going to be an adventure.

In case you're wondering, I'm relocating there with Chase. If you pay attention to the news, or even if you don't, you should know that Chase bought out WaMu. They are keeping WaMu's San Antonio center open but want heritage Chase employees to transfer down to be there for the conversion. It should be fun!

Birthday Cakes

There are two kinds of birthday cakes in this world. Ok, there are many kinds but for the sake of this blog there are two.

The kind that look good...

And the kind that taste good...

In case you're wondering why the candles look like they're sliding off the cake it's because my friend thought the un-iced cake was corn bread and cut a huge triangle out of it. :blank stare: A grand attempt was made by the baker to cover it up but it didn't matter what it looked like. It was amazingly yummy and by far the best icing I've ever had on a cake.

Although cake number 1 may have been preferred, cake number 2 came in pretty close to the best birthday cake ever. Thanks Susette. :)
